mg history

[VadimGod]

I was wondering if some of you 3+ month vapers could share what your mg journy has been, what did u smoke in analogs, where did u start with vaping mg level and when u dropped and any back story and also what u smoke now. Want to see any trends and expectations. Thanks.

I was a 4 PAD smoker. I started out at 36mg and vaped like a freight train. About 2 months after starting, I started to get dizzy from the nic content. Basically, my body was telling me to drop down so I did to 24mg. I stayed there for about 2 more months before landing at 18mg..which is where I've been since. I've been vaping over a year without any "issues".

I was a 1.5 PAD smoker, Camel Wides. Stared vaping in November 2010, still smoked maybe a pack a week. Started vaping more or less exclusively around February 2011. Chain vaping like the world was ending.

Started at 12mg on an eGo, found that a bit lacking, sprinkled some 18mg juice in there for good measure. Never quite got the satisfaction I was looking for but stuck with it. Chain vaping. A lot.

Tried and LR atty sometime in early March 2011 on my eGo and it changed my world. Soon thereafter, I bought a Darwin and have never looked back. Still chain vaping but maybe less.

Stepped my nic down to 6mg sometime July 2011, I could tell I didn't need the 12mg stuff anymore. Chain vaping back to original levels.

I'm now in the process of vaping through my 6mg stash and buying my new juice nic-free. I can tell I don't need the nic anymore, I'm ready to quit. I still chain-vape like a volcano, but haven't had a cigarette in ages. It's the best decision I've made regarding my health in a long time, vaping.

PAD for decades, Camel straights then Marlboro Reds. 24 mg the first nine months, with a little 30 mg early on. Dropped to 20 mg in April, 18 mg late Sept, probably go to 16 mg later this month.
Eliquid consumption has been relatively stable, other than for my having doubled it when I switched to VV/HV. Nothing to do with the mg, I was still using 24 then, just that I use eliquid faster at higher power (no surprise).
I'd be happy to be at 12 by year end -- I'm not in a rush, glad to have stopped smoking after so many years.

I smoked 1 to 2 packs a day of Camel Lights, when I first started vaping I used 24mg for the first three months then dropped to 18mg. I stayed with the 18mg for the rest of my first year then dropped to 12mg, a year later I'm dropping to 6mg. I've taken my time and don't vape heavily anymore, I still vape more than I smoked but I can go longer periods without vape.

When I quit 9/1/10, I was smoking 15 Virginia Slims Menthol/day. I started with 12mg, went to 18mg, back down to 12mg and now at 9mg.

1 - 1.5 PAD of Pall Mall lights. Smoked for about 18 years.

In May 2011, I dropped the cigs almost completely and started on 6mg (big oops! It was their "light" so I figured it was comparable... wrong!).
Very unsatisfying for me so I jumped up to 18mg and was satisfied with that. Since then, all of my fluid purchases have been in 18mg. Aside from mixing/diluting once in a while, I stay right around there.

Right now, it's an odd time for me: I'm currently out and waiting on the mailman, so I'm vaping mostly zero-nic atm - kinda sucks, but better than nothing and/or analogs, lol

Pack a day (or more, depending)
15 year habit
Camel Lights
Started vaping the day I got my kit: August of 2010
Started at 6mg and haven't picked up a cigarette since

But I should add that I really, really, really wanted to quit smoking.

I generally smoked a pack a day. Sometimes on certain days I could get up to a pack and a half. But I had actually quit for several months...then started picking it up again.....before I could go back to smoking fully I tried the e-cig. Got my starter kit on 6/22 of this year. Started with 16 mg. Then ordered from another company 18 and some 24s. Cut to 12 more recently. Now taking some 18 again. So I use 12-18 generally...

I started smoking about 16 years ago, had some periods where I quit briefly but generally smoked most of that time..

PAD lights for me. I had a heck of a time settling in on a nic level. Started at 24mg. A couple weeks in it started making me dizzy and nauseous. Diluted to 12 (I had VG and PG just in case.). That had me vaping like a freight train. I couldn't suck enough in. Went to 18. That worked for a little over a week. Then I started getting dizzy and nauseous again. Went back to 12 but, I carried some 24 for strong cravings. I made occasional use of that 24 for a couple months but, it's been quite a while since I've used it now. So, I guess I'm settled in at 12.

1.5 PAD smoker for 12 years. I started vaping 4 months ago at 24mg, and quickly dropped to 18mg. After about 2 months I gave 12mg a shot, and didn't notice any difference in the way I felt. I am now vaping all DIY @ 8mg, some at 0mg just for kicks (I do still buy Bounty Hunter, at 6mg).

Stepping down didn't affect me at all. I still have no analog cravings. I am not complaining.
