How many mg's to start with?

everyone is different but to me 24mg is good, but 36 should do the trick, as you can always drop the nic level. also another thing i have come to believe is that menthol e juice is the closest to a reg smoke. GL and Hope this helps!!!

I was a PAD smoker - Marlboro Reds. Started with 12mg and worked my way up to 24mg before I was happy.

Right before vaping I was 1ppd Marlboro Medium 100s (cheating now and then with Reds which I preferred). Started out trying various juices ranging from 18-26mg. On the one hand, I figured out this was too much for me for extended vaping--but I also figured out i like to start out the day with a high level. So lately, I'm at 36mg in the early morning and 12 (or less) for the rest of the day. I'm also starting to learn here that nothing is odd. All kinds of people do all kinds of levels.

I smoked 10-15 cigs everyday, which isn't a whole lot for a smoker of 10 years. But I smoked Newport 100's and When I vape I have been using 18-20mg. As with alot of newbie vapers I tend to over-use my PV. But like everyone is saying it's whatever is best for you. I bought TW's Platinum Ice Mixing Kit for my first bottle of e-juice I made a bottle or two of really low nic, like 6-8mg, and a couple bottles of 18-20mg. Still haven't quite found a level that is exactly right for me. But it's all about trial and error. Kinda reluctant to try anything stronger... Don't want to make myself sick.

I smoked Ultra Lights and the 12-18 was too weak for my taste so had to move up. Of course I was a heavy smoker, over 2 pks a day so it has taken more to satisfy that nicotine craving.
