light cigarettes to vaping conversion?

[dhankx]

I originally read that a light smoker should use 18mg. I started with 12, but I see posts of people using higher than 18 when they started, what's the deal and what is the recommended conversion?

I smoked about a pack a week. I started at 8mg. Bow I use mostly 0. I keep 1 or 2 higher nics around just cus I got some to try and use them every so often.

I went higher so that I KNEW I was getting my nic fix. I got a spare and replacement items. No way was I going to buy a pack. I still have that bottle, just can't seem to want to throw it away. But, I just ordered 18mg. I will get there...someday.

Simple answer is whatever works for you.

General recommendations are:

10 cigs/day = 6 mg
20 cigs/day = 12 mg

30 cigs/day = 18 mg
40 cigs/day = 24 mg

i smoked about 5 or 6 cigs a day, and i immediately went to 0mg nic... but i also have one bottle of 12mg and i use that for the morning when the urge to smoke is there (with coffee of course) and that is already fading after only seven days. so most of the day is 0mg and 12mg a few puffs a day when i crave it.

edit: i'm really new to all this, didn't even know there was 6mg available. i'm getting that, as even the 12mg is too strong for me.

My PAD, I would wither away on 12mg...or I would vape constantly. I think there are variables in there.

This is new to me, I've only been vaping a month but I smoked about 30 a day and most of my juice is 18.
I just got some 6 for the evenings because it's when I have the time and enjoy vaping non stop.

I'm still clueless on the amount (mg) of 18 juice that would be equal to the 30 (light) smokes a day!

I was a very heavy smoker for nearly 30 years. Start out with 16 about 4 months ago and now down to 8. Congratulations on your giving up the stinkies.

Depends on the cigarette. Some are up to/over 1mg each. Some are as little as 0.1mg each.

(Personally, I wouldn't trust either, as it's done by Robot puffs... )

If you were smoking 20 a day, you'd need more than 12mg liquid for the 1mg ones and ideally less than 6mg for the other.

I smoked a pack of lights a day. 24mg was the only thing that kept me off the smokes. After about 3 weeks of that I went down to 18mg and have stayed there since because 12mg just doesn't cut it for me. So if you are worried at all just go with 18mg and stay vaping my friend.

I'm not sure that there is a One Size Fits All mg/ml Number for people Switching to e-Cigarettes. Everyone is Different. You just have to start with Something and see if it works.

If I had to pick One Number and try to Apply it to Everyone, I guess I would Pick 18mg/ml.
