New to vaping... should I...?

[Taufik Sardon]

I've pretty much cut down my smokes to about 2 sticks a day... max. I'm currently on lights and from what I've read, only 50% of the nicotine being vaped will be absorb. So currently, I'm on a 0.8mg a stick... when translated into juice ratios, how strong should the juice be?

when i stopped smoking i was on ultra lights(1pk/day) i got the 11/12 mg juice and it is working. havent had a craving, been off analogs since Christmas...hope this helps

18mg/ml would be roughly 0.9 at 50% absorption, all things equal. 1 ml roughly equals one carto or 20 drops. 20 cigs at 0.8 equals 16 mg. 2 cartos at 18mg/ml and 50% equals 18mg. My experience is 50% at best, more like 30 to 40. Might need a little bump to get off the remaining cigs. I needed 24 mg to finally quit and I smoked lights. I stuck with 24 so I don't chain vape but 18 gets the job done. Hope that helps remember nothing is exact.

2mg - 4mg nicotine strength is safe. You want to be careful not to overdose on nicotine.

wc, I doubt 2-4 will get her over the hump even if she could find the juice strengths

I have read many posts where people start out at 2 - 4mg and do just fine and then go down to 0mg strength eliquid. We must not disparage other people's experiences.

Sometime it fluctuates but I try to keep it down... I usually take a hit just to rough out the edges once in a while. The whole process has this calming effect on me, until the smell of it finally overpowers it... and often, I'd still have around 1/4 left on my analog.

I recommend 12mg... it gives the perfect throat hit at 5.5-6 volts... FYI the more nic the stronger the throat hit

I got 18 and 24mg juice's when I was a noob... It was quite unpleasant (harsh) and made me nauseous

You might find out that you are like me and need a variety of strengths. I smoked ultra light analogs. I ordered 0, 6, 12, and 18 nic level juices. In the morning, when my craving is the strongest, I use the 18. Most of the rest of the day, I vape 12. In the evening, when I am watching TV or reading and I vape for a longer period of time, I use 6 so I don't have to worry about getting a headache from too much nicotine. I keep the 0 so if I find a juice is too strong, I can dilute it with the 0 flavorless.

So far, this has worked for me. I never tried 24 and probably never will. Sometimes, the TH on the 18 is too much for me, so I'm pretty sure I would find 24 unpleasant. For the first few days, I found the sweet juices way too sweet and the only thing that kept me off analogs was either low nic tobacco juices and light vanilla/caramel juices. Everything else made me feel ill. Now that I'm used to vaping, I still use mostly vanilla/caramel based juices like KBV's OMG, but I also enjoy swedish fish, straw burst, and some of the fruit flavors, mostly in the evenings.

This 0 juice is pretty new to me... is basically just nic-less juice?
