i only have 10mgs right now and im kinda freaking out and wanting to smoke............you think i should 24mgs

Definitely. For 2 PAD I would get a high nic. You can order 36 MG from FreedomSmokeUSA.com
But you might not want THAT high. At least get a 24.
If you want to try 36, you can get a 5mL bottle from FSUSA for 4 bucks. You should probably get more juice than one bottle, cause otherwise you're paying more for shipping than you are for the juice.
So look around and find some things you want to try. Try various nic contents. You should be able to get a good collection of juices with ranging flavors and ranging nic contents to find what you like for pretty cheap. That way you'll find what you like and know what to get next order.

I was a 2+ PAD smoker. Kicked 'em using 24mg. Regular cigs (non-menthol) smokers tend to like the nut flavors and the fruit flavors. I thought I wanted "tobacco" but have found that my favorites are Gramma's Apple Pie and Toasted Almond from JuicyVapor.

I've tried a LOT of flavors from various suppliers ... sort of jumped right into the deep end to get started. I like the above flavors from JV.
Hope this helps!

I was a 1 1/2 PAD and I went with 24mg. However, I had a couple problems with a uneasy stomach and light-headedness when I first started. I wasn't sure if it the the strength of the nic or a slight reaction to 100% PG. So I went to Walmart and picked up some VG (cheap) and diluted my 24mg to ~18-19mg by using 8 drops of 24mg and two drops of VG, no more sick feeling and no light-headedness. The cravings are under control as well.

I'm not sure if cutting the mg or adding the VG did the trick but it's working well for me right now so I'm sticking with this formula. I just bought a load of flavors and some plain PG and unflavored 50mg PG nic so I can mix my own and keep the proportions that work best for me.

One thing I like is the added VG produces a little more vapor which seems to help from the metal side. :)

Good luck and stick with it!

You should definitely get at least 24mg strength. I would even get some 36mg based on your smoking level. And if you really want to come closer to the "inhaled feel" and consistency that you were use to from smoking, then you should consider a good 5 volt or variable volt PV. A good 5 volt is the GLV2 (5 volt version) from Great Lakes Vapor.

agreed, it took me a long time to understand that i really like fruit based juice... Been using RY4 and menthol tastes, but i really love fruit based juice now, my favorites are tutti frutti and limonade (high caliber) juices :)

Good luck on quitting man :)

Yeah... mental... fat-fingered that one. :) It doesn't make any sense but seeing that "smoke" on the exhale seems to help me. Some 100% PG based juices produce more vapor than others but the VG always adds more. Plus, I really do believe I had a slight reaction to the PG so it's all good now.

If you're into DIY, buying the unflavored nic juice in a 50mg and then some nic-free PG/VG and flavors will let you mix at whatever strength floats your boat and save some money at the same time. I got mine from Rich at nicvape, great product, fair price, and quick shipping in case you're interested in going that route.

Hello, I smoked for over 30 yrs. until a got the GLV2. Like alot of people say if you are looking for that easy to get, big, massive smoke, and Throat Hit try a 5volt mod. I used to smoke Marlboro 100's and Camel's and so far my favorite flavors are RY4 and Watermelon. There many many more flavors that I need to try since I am very new to all this. I found that 24ml nic. is good for me but it can vary from one flavor to the next. The big thing that I noticed about the 5v. mods is that you don't have to "work" to get that good hit. I can draw on my GLV2 pretty much like I would on a ciggy. If that is what you are looking for, don't waste your time and money by constantly upgrading until you end up with a 5v., go ahead and jump in with the "big guys". Good luck with whatever you decide and STAY AWAY FROM THOSE CIGGYS!
