Welcome! Don't stress over how much your smoking. I duel used a couple months before switching to vaping completely. Go at your own pace. I smoked as much as you did and started at 24mg., but quickly went down to 18mg. How are you vaping? What device?
Keep vaping. When I started, I used the highest nicotine level I could buy. I found that it made my mouth and throat dry, so I drank more coffee
It took me about 6 weeks to totally leave cigs alone, but in the meantime I was smoking less and less. I prefer this method of quitting compared to nicotine gum.Hi. Cheers. Its a endura t22. I have no idea about all the technical stuff yet. Just wanted something simple to start.
You should be fine if you want to try 24mg. if you feel your not getting enough nicotine.
Welcome to the ECF ! You will find lots of people willing to help you on your Vaping Journey !
After 40 years of smoking, I had to quit. I stopped smoking one night and started vaping the next day. After two days of intense withdrawal, and a few heartfelt prayers, I realized that I should think in terms of "I don't smoke" rather than "I am trying to quit". It seems like the next few weeks were easier, and within two months the craving for a cigarette was gone. Completely.
I was fortunate that I found several e-liquids that I really enjoyed, and still do. I would recommend that you focus on finding flavors you enjoy first, worry about your equipment later.
Good Luck on Your Journey.

The T22 is great. It vapes more powerfully than some starter kits.
You could consider 24mg just to get over the hurdle.... but 18mg ought to do it for a while once you are off the smokes.

Hi and congradulations on starting to vape. I also started with 18 juice though in the mornings, I used to light a smoke as soon as I got out of bed, I would really nic out ! So I bought some 24 and would put a small amount, a mil or 2, in tank then switch l back to 18 after. Also I found the nic spray to be helpful when I was in situations where I couldn't vape. It tastes awful but would help until I was able to vape. I still keep some spray on hand for situations where I can't vape.
Some people are able to transfer right away to the vape though others, like me, would cave in and buy smokes. It took me about 6 months to finally leave the smokes behind. If you keep vaping eventually the cigs will be left behind you too.

Is your set up mtl? If so ,Imo it's the nic.... I know it maybe harder to find , but try a bottle of 24mg. I know if it weren't for 24mg juice, I would of had a hard time for sure. Heathers heavenly vapes offers a wide range of nic options .

I also, as others stated, recommend increasing your nicotine to 24mg. OR, if you can't easily gain access to 24mg, see if you can get your hands on a Juul kit. I believe those pods to contain 50mg (nicotine salts) and should help to curb your cigarette cravings.
@Munsky123 Congratulations on your attempting to quit smoking and Welcome to ECF! When I tried to cut down it didn't work for me dual use just allowed me to get more nicotine and I had to quit cold turkey and suffer through the withdrawals which for me lasted over 2 weeks but take heart in that it does get better and easier. Cravings are normal and it isn't the nicotine that your craving it is some of the other 6,999 addictive chemicals in killer sticks. For me using the nicotine intake helped get passed the craving and a few times getting a tad too much was how I got passed the cravings.
Good Luck in your journey to becoming a former smoker!

Welcome and glad you joined. Congrats and you are doing just fine.
24 mg is available if you think you need a nic boost to get over the hump. Most people start high in nic then taper downward after a time. How long a time depends on the individual. Some folks are still at 24 and 18 and are happy and far more healthier than smokers.
From 30 to 6-8 in 4 days?! look at you GO! Thats an accomplishment, nothing to be down about!
what is it.. each cigarette is like 7 minutes off your life? in the last 4 days you've saved at least 10 hours
There was a saying in vaping a while ago, i'm not sure if it's still something people say: "It's all about the ones you don't smoke." As others have said, you may be able to quit all together over night, or it may take some time to wean off - just do your best to vape through your cravings - higher nic helps, as does MTL then exhaling through your mouth and nose. You are doing more than switching nicotine - cigarettes have a crap ton of other stuff you are addicted to in them. Also, it takes a bit longer to get the "feel goods" from the nic in vape - anytime you get a craving - vape like crazy, then give it 20 minutes before you decide to light up a cigarette.
Both of my brother in laws switched to vaping about the same time I did - both of them have almost completely quit (one still vapes when he drinks). I go back and forth - a while without, then stress hits and I vape again
I hear good things about the endura - way better than what we had to start out with 3 years ago
