Hello, I'm new here. Been lurking for a week. I ordered a Halo G6 and am nervous about switching to vaping. After reading a bit, I'm thinking I ordered too low of a nic amount. I smoke a pack and a half a day and ordered the 18mg. Wondering if I should have gotten the 24 now. Anyways, I'm excited to get my kit and get started.

I smoked for over 35 years. the past 10 or so I was at 2 1/2+ packs a day (pad)
I started at 18, and soon dropped to 12, now I'm at mostly 6
so don't worry, and if you feel it isn't enough you can order 24. the liquid is the hardest to pin down what you like, so you will be buying more liquid
be sure and only get small bottles at first.
when I started, I continued to smoke for a while. if I wanted a cig, I vaped for a while and then if i still wanted it, I had one. I did not stress myself out about it. the # of cigs smoked a day dropped more each day, after about a month I was at 2 cigs a day
and welcome to the forum and vaping

Thanks for the advice. I bought the G6 starter kit which came with 5 prefilled thingy's and then I added another 5 prefilled to it, and a small bottle of one of the coffee ones. I'm hoping this is enough to get me started. I ordered Saturday and already I'm going crazy waiting for them to show up. lol
Thanks again for all the useful information.

some people like lots of liquids, and some, like me, can only find a few. I highly recommend getting unflavored (at some point you will be refilling yourself instead of getting prefilled ). unflavored has no offensive taste I think halo's unflavored is called "fusion"

When I first started vaping last month, I contined to smoke several cigarette a day. It really didn't work for me until I upped the nicotine level to 24mg. Also at first my throat was sore from the PG, but that went away after four or five days. But don't be discouraged if you still need to smoke for awhile. Vaping is different and it takes awhile to learn to puff in a new way. This is my ninth day without smoking at all and just vaping alone. And I smoked for over fifty years. I've heard a lot of people say 18mg worked fine for them, and that may be all you need too. Good luck.

Thanks for the advice. Halo customer service rocks. I ended up emailing them last night and asked if it was too late to change my order. They responded first thing this morning and let me change both sets of prefilled ones to 24 before shipping and they were super helpful. Now I just get to wait.
That's great, they really are a good company. Let me know how the 24mg works out for you, okay?
After almost a year of vaping I settled on 24mg. The throat hit is incredible and I don't have to vape my head off to be satisfied. I used 12 and 18 mg for the first 6 months but was going thru 4-5 ml per day versus 2-3 at 24mg.

Thanks a bunch. I've been vaping all day. I ended up with one package of 24mg and one of 18mg and a small bottle of the twisted java. I definitely need the 24mg. I don't think the 18mg will cut it. Didn't like the taste of the twisted java, but I read on here somewhere that letting them sit for a week or two sometimes changes the flavor a bit? Idk.
Grats on making the choice to quite smoking. I was smoking a pack and half a day for about 15 years but I found it pretty easy to quite with the G6 and halo juices. I havent had a real cig since last January, so its been just over a year. You will start to notice as your sense of smell comes back how many things are going to change like taste of food and also juices. It took me a month or so before mine really came back. I can't stand the smell of people who smoke now and how bad it sticks to them. I still like the smell of burning fresh tobacco though, but that odor that hangs around after really is horrible.
But yeah, juices are going to keep changing on you for a bit. Its smart that you started with Halo, I have tried many many other juice companies and think that halo has got the best juice quality out there for my taste. Twisted Java is nice but its not really an all day vape for me, its good for the morning or at night though. I like a variety of juices so I always have 3 tanks filled with different juices. Right now I have Midnight Apple, Tiki Juice and Menthol Ice in the rotation and just ordered some more Malibu. The Kringles Curse I think I vaped too much everyday and I can't taste it anymore
lol so giving that a break for a bit. I also like the Captain Jack when I want a stronger flavored juice. Taste is all subjective and just starting out you will have some trial and error.

You sound like me. I wasnt sure at all so i got both 18 and 24 to be safe. I should have my kit 2morrow and i cannot wait.....If ur still following this What flavors did you try by now wut did you or didnt you like? Im brand new to this so imma stick with halo until i get familiar before i try to branch off.
Hello DDark4ever. I'm on day 8 and doing well. I was okay on the 18 mil but need the 24 in the morning. as for flavors, I think it depends on what you smoked before. I was a menthol smoker so I went with the menthol ice. I've definitely been happy with my choice of kits. Good luck to you!
For me, 18mg is perfect. I love vaping, and if I vape 24mg, I get that weird "too much nicotine" sick feeling you'd get if you'd smoke 2-3 cigarettes in a row. 18 allows me to enjoy the flavor much longer before hitting that point.
I've tried 12mg but it wasn't doing anything for me. Never finished the bottle and went right back to 18.

I've tried alot of juice over the time that I've been vaping and halo is the best hands down. I use to switch between juice all the time but now Malibu Menthol at 12 mg is all I use. It tastes so good I suck on it honestly all day long. My next two bottles I'll take a step down to 6 mg I think. I smoked for 15 years and haven't touched a cigarette for a very long time because of ecigs.
