I use 24mg with no ill effects... Smoked about 15 analogs a day until started vaping.
I notice on manual electronic cigarettes 2-3 seconds works fine, but on automatic versions 3-5 seconds seems to work better.
Yes, I am going to have to go down to 18mg liquid. My excuse is I am new to vaping after smoking 20+ a day and 24mg was recommended to me I was told go high to start with to stay off the cigs.
negative ghost rider, if you get the vapor you are getting the nicotine...unlike analogs the mucous membranes of your mouth and tongue absorb the nicotine, this is why its not needed to lung inhale with an personal vaper...actually short puffs like a pipe or starting a 1/2 lit analog gives the best flavor..I read on one of the tutorials here that short puffs don't give you any nicotine. You need to slow draw for three seconds to get nicotine. Is that true? I wondered actually if that was written for old devices.
It depends on what kind of cigs you were smoking.
I rarely recommend 24mg to anyone, based on my own experience with that, as well as at least 10 new vapers I introduced vaping to. Basically, they either got woozy, sick, nauseous, but for me it was anxiety, a feeling of restlessness, and feeling very imbalanced in general.
If i do recommend 24, I always say get some 12mg in SAME flavor, cuz if you mix up a little ejuice, say 3ml, same amounts of 24mg + 12mg you get 18mg.
If this works, then you now have some 18mg to vape. BUT---if your "sample" of 18mg proves too much, now you have some 12mg juice to vape, without starting all over again.

Yep that's what I'm doing. I'm ordering 12ml bottles of the 24 that I actually like a lot and mixing down to 18 though with these stupid nozzles it's not always easy to see how much you're pouring in especially with Kanseng (probably wrong name) where you put the damn stuff in with drops.
What are you using to measure out the liquids? Make sure to shake each bottle well before mixing them.
