Hello!
...
So my questions:
Is this start up going to be sufficient based on my reported usage? It seems like there are a million websites, videos and stores...I tried shopping around but after awhile it all looks the same.
How long does the juice last?
Is there any general consensus on conversion from mL to cigarette?
Should I really be investing in more juice, different tanks, bigger batteries?
What is the cleanup like for this? I think I got only 2 cartomizers, so does that mean I need to use up what is in each one before I can put in a new flavor? Are they disposable? How many should I have on hand?
I know this is probably a rough question, but what juices do you recommend and from where?

Hi.
there is no concrete conversion.
and looking at that you have picked out the 12mg to mirror your smoking habit, you have been misled - maybe.
i smoked what you smoked when i went to vaping (basically averaged 6 to 8 smokes a day without ever exceeding 10 in last
1 and half years, 16 years total smoking)
i tried the gas station disposables at 18mg and i could not stop wanting to take real cigarettes.
So... when i orderd my set, i ordered my sampler pack at 24mg.
I was a little light-headed at first - maybe from the nic, maybe from just withdrawal.
However, the 24mg was able to hold me.
I think a lot of this depends on how you vape and how you smoke as to how much the nicotine is infused into
your blood - just a non-scientific guess. If you take a hit (smoke or vape) and hold it, you'll probably get more than
if you just take a hit and exhale right away.
[this is a non-scientific guess but im willing to tread where no man dares - j/k]
I would suggest getting something stronger right now - put in the order online or go to local vape store and get some juice.
(I have a feeling you gonna need it but i could be wrong)
2 weeks solid at the 24mg then i got some 18mg for a step down ... did this for a week and finally had an "ok day" where i did
not feel urge to vape ALL day.
Now, i do notice that when i vape the 24mg juice, i can put away vaping for a much longer period of time (like 2 hours) instead
of needing a hit now n then on the 18mg juice.
I do not "hold" my vape nor do i always do a deep inhale.
Anyhow, i've seen some of these nicotine equivalency questions pop up recently, and from my experience, the stuff online is not right.
The mg rating on your ejuice has no direct equivalency to how much nicotine your body is ACTUALLY absorbing per draw.
All we know is the more nicotine in your juice, the more you get into your blood stream, but how much exactly seems to be "in the air"
for the moment.
My point, if it takes 24mg to keep you off analogs, then do it. If it takes 30mg, then do it.
Listen to your body, if you feel dizzy, try something lower, try something higher, put it away for a bit then
hit it again when you feel like you need a cig.
Find a juice flavour you can go with all day and enjoy and be determined to quit smoking!
Once you know that the e-cig holds off the analogs, then you can start stepping down the nicotine.
Happy Vaping and Be Healthy.
PS- much of my advise above is compiled from the many encouraging and forthcoming members of this forum who replied to my own question about nicotine content and "to reduce or not to reduce"
