Howdy
It's worked for a lot of people. I'm no expert on what to start a beginner on these days but there are many here who are and several threads on the subject. I wish you luck!

It helped me quit and I feel better just in the one week. Hope it helps you.

Hello Eddie...And Welcome...I recently quit and smoked for over 30 years...There are numerous good basic starter kits and most are in the $20-$30 range...I'll give you one I like...innokin endura t18...But it is only one of many...The "Forum Suppliers" Tab at the top of the page is a good place to start...Some Major Brands:

Kanger / eGo / Innokin / Aspire /eLeaf...Just a few to shop through and others will have suggestions...

It depends quite a bit on the type of device you end up with. If you start with a cig alike such as an eroll or an mtl mini mod like an ego it could be as high as 36mg. But if you start on a big puffer like a baby beast it could be as low as 6mg. The more vapor the device produces the lower the relative concentration of nicotine wants to be.

If you want something really just like a cigarette mtl (mouth to lung) might be the way to go. People often at least try the big DL (direct lung) mods though and often never go back. It's all a question of what works for you.

Welcome to the forum Eddie. Congratulations on deciding to give up the cigs. Good luck to ya.

Hi and welcome. You seem to have the key ingredient, which is desire to quit. We'll help.

 

[Trigster]

If you were a long time heavy smoker I'd say 18mg...Many would suggest 12mg...I started with 18mg and currently blend my own at about 15mg...In a few months I'll be down to 12mg...

I use a MTL device, at 15 mg nicotine and that does the trick for me. I agree with Trigster about what appeals to you from some of the major brands.

You do need to decide if you want to inhale less clouds of vapor in a smaller, higher nic device, or blow large clouds on a DL sub0hm device. It can be hard to tell if you are going to prefer one or the other. The pinned links in this forum: New Members Information may help you get started, and I'm sure Brother Bob, who kind of watches over this forum will be along to provide more helpful links. You really want to read up on types of device and try to see what appeals to you most. If you have a B&M near you, it might be a good idea to go in and actually handle some setups and ask questions about them. You don't have to purchase any of them, but it might give you a better idea.

Best of luck, I too was "ready" to quit when I got here, and even though I started out with a device that was all wrong for me, I was able to replace it with something more suited to my needs...

Welcome to ECF and congrats on your desire to quit smoking.

Hello Eddie, welcome to the forum. Kanger Subtank Mini & 40w Eleaf Istick a good budget friendly start up pair that you could grow with. Tank will let you start mouth to lung (mtl) and experiment with direct to lung (dtl). Good coil options. I started with 24/18mg nic. If you want cig like experience the Innokin Endura t18 & t22 are popular. Lot of options out there. Cruise online & pick out some that appeal to you & come to the forum for pros/cons.

Welcome, sounds like you have quit smoking. Alas, I have not, but I have cut my daily consumption by 15/20 per day. There is a thread for some of us who still struggle with quitting:

Still smoking support and chat thread

If you feel like checking in, please do so. this is a great community with really helpful knowledgeable people.

I should mention, I am currently using a Juul device which comes with liquids containing nic salts at 5%. When I was using my other currently non-functional device the nic level was 2.4. The numbers are apparently not comparable between nic salt juice and free base nicotine.

Hey Eddie, welcome.

Good luck quitting, remember to hang in there and get support if you're feeling really weak.

I quit for good the day I picked up my MOD. You can do it.

Hello and welcome to ecf. It took a while for me but I was finally able to quit the smokes with an Aspire Nautilus on an ego type battery and 24 mg/ml nic. I would caution to keep it simple in the beginning and go with a simple MTL system. Good luck.
