How many mg's of nicotine?

[mustanggt98]

What strength do you recommend for a newbie who smokes a pack a day of marlboro lights?

I'd recommend starting with between 14 & 18 mg.

I smoked a pack and a half of Marlboro Lights, so we're on the same page.

I started vaping at 24mg and have inched it down to 12 - 16, mostly. To me though, it's all about the throat hit. Others don't feel that way.

But alas, that was nearly a year ago when the only liquid available was Chinese. Nowadays, with so many quality USA liquids around you can get away with a lot less nicotine -- think quality in lieu of quantity.

Order up small quantities of 18 mg or so and adjust from there.

Good luck.

I use the 21 mg nicotine patch along with 16 mg cartridges.

I was a 2 pack a day camel smoker. If you go 14-18, you might wanna also get one stronger strength like 24 just to see. My starter kit came with 8's which weren't strong enough.

When you're just getting started, it's a good idea to get a few strengths since you won't really know what works best until you try it out. As a starting point, though, I'd suggest 18mg. You might need to go up to 24mg initially, but I think it's unlikely 18 would be too strong for you.

I'd say 18 or 24. Probably 18. I smoked a pack a day of Marlboro Mediums. Started with 18 and had to go up to 24. I tend to use both now. I've been off the analogs for a month now, another month and I'll try to go back to 18.

I was a pack a day marlboro ultra light user, 18mg was good for me, I'm down to 12mg now.

Good thing I bought a bottle of 24mgs with my starter kit, the 18mg samples arnt really doing anything for me. Ill vape one for a few minutes then feel like i need to smoke a reg. cigarette right after lol

Correct me if I am wrong, I still a newbie myself, but aren't there various things that will affect the nicotine absorption in an individual. For example, if you vape while drinking coffee doesn't that have an effect?

I know for me I need 36mg. I was putting away 2-2.5 packs of Camel Lights every day for the better part of the last 30 years. I started with 16mg then went to 24mg then went to 36mg. When I got to 36mg I was finally able to dump the analogs.

Newbie here, too.

I just started vaping a week ago and have managed not to touch an analog. However, my starter pack came with 10mg cartridges and I bought a 50ml bottle of 10mg as well.

I smoked around a pack (sometimes slightly more or less) of Marlboro Ultralights a day for about 20 years. The 10mg is ok, but not great.

I have tried a few drops of a friend's 36mg and it was almost too much for me...but it was pretty awesome, considering I've been unsatisfied for almost a week. lol.

Just ordered 36mg and will be mixing to get my right juice.

Hope you can find your happy mg amount as well.

I say: whatever works to get you off the analogs! You can always reduce your mg's later.
