IMO i would use the 24mg until late at night. I was a 1 1/2 pack smoker of newports. The 18 just didnt cut it for me but the 24 worked alot better. Also keep in mind you will be intaking ALOT more nic that the average newport. Since you will not have the tar and all the other caricongens you will not get the tight chest feeling you are custom too. Just be mindful of not to O.D. on the nic. And i notice that late at night if i use the 24mg i dont sleep as well. But since i have quit analogs i definately will never buy menthol or cig flavor. I like the butter rum and bubble gum flavors 10x better than any cig i have ever smoked.

Sorry for the long rant just all my opinion. You will have to determine what satisfies you TBH

I smoked 2 packs a day and was able to quit the cigs using about 3 ml. of 36 mg. a day. Slowly cut down from there. I really like the Johnson Creek, great juice!

So would one 15 ml. bottle of JC Mint Chocolate 24 mg satisfy my pack a day newport cravings for 4-5 days if I use 3 ml. a day?

Congrats btw on cutting the smokes hope I can do the same. Would be nice while im 27 years old.

How will I be taking in a lot more nic with vapeing compared to a smoking a newport?

You could always start with that amount and see how it goes for you. I always keep a few extra bottles on hand so I never run out.

Thanks! Wow, just think. If you can quit at 27 years old, by the time you are my age you will have quit 24 years ago :shock:

Don't compare them - cigs vs ejuices - you didnt absorb all the nic in a cig and its the same for ejuice, minues the extra 4 thousand or so extra chemicals. They don't taste alike or affect you exactly the same way.
There is only ONE way to work out 'your' nic requirement from juices and thats to try a few different strengths. Every person is different, even those who smoked the same brand as you and the same amount as you did.
Its better to start too high than too low (you can cut high nic juice with same flavor lower one so its not a money sink excercise) and most pack a day smokers usually try a 24mg first. SOme stay there, others drop lower. Headaches or 'the runs' are a good inidcation the nic level was too high, wanting a smoke is usaully an indication its too low.
You will also need time to adjust to vaping so give yourself that time, and if you can't quit right away (or don't wish to, whatever you want) then its fine. Many people buy a PV to reduce the number of cigs they use, and quit by accident anyway; just don't compare yourself to other people's progress. You probably know this anyways but this is the new members thread and other people might find the info useful :)
As for how much you'd need to vape - thats another personal thing - 'when you feel satisfied' is the best answer really. I vape 12mg and thats good for ME, but because i love flavors I tend to chain vape late at nights and 12mg MOSTLY doesnt give me any issues for that. 0mg nic i good for chaining on as well - my habit seems to be way more hand/mouth than nic cravings :)

If you go with 24mg juice you'll probably use about 3ml a day. I guess that would go for any juice..

Problems sleeping, I can even get a tingly sensation from vapeing 24mg. It's different then cigs though as it doesn't bring you down as much. I guess it's the other stuff in cigs or just the carbon monoxide..

If you can switch to 6mg juice an hour or two before bed.
