Hi Karen,
I'm new to vaping too, 6th day vaping, and I agree with Jim Davis on all points.
I will tell you that I smoked for 35 years 25+ cigs a day and I bought large bottles of Mar-Bro in 36 mg because I thought it would best match my old analog habit, and help me transition. But in the initial days of vaping (and even on day 6 here) I vape much more, and for longer, therefore I was getting much more daily nicotine then when I was smoking. And, I ordered some Creme Brulee (24mg) from Myvaporstore, that I really like (much more than the 36 mg. Mar-Bro flavor that I have stockpiled.)
Having said that, I believe I would have been better off trying a lower Mg nicotine to start with, so I could vape more (for the habit transition) and not get as much nicotine. Now I will be buying some 'low' nicotine flavors (ones that appeal to me, like creme brulee, coffee, etc) so that I can vape more during this initial transition from analog to vaping and not get as much nicotine.
I'm starting to thing that my problem with the habit of smoking analogs was the actual smoking part I now believe. I love vaping and I won't be going back to analogs, even after 6 days, I feel so much better, breath better, and sleeping better.
Best wishes and much success to you Karen and giving you a shout-out from across the river over here in No. Virginia!
