newbie!! and a little nervous...

I started on 18mg and moved to 24mg and some juices are stronger than others.
Dont worry it will be fine if not add a few drops of distilled warter or vodka.

I can only tell you that I started with 24mg as well which worked well for me for about a month. Then I started getting anxiety attacks (I'm prone to these but haven't had too many lately). I lowered nic and problem disappeared. Not sure why 24 was good in the beginning. Heck, it could have been something else entirely. vaping happily at 18mg now.

If you were a smoker, 24mg is a good place to start. Depending on how much you smoked, you may find it heavy or light. I'd vape like I smoked, if I were you. Take a few hits for a couple of minutes liked you were smoking a cigarette. Wait a few minutes to see how you react to the nicotine. Adjust accordingly.

Most people who get nic OD are sitting in front of the TV or the computer vaping without thinking. Then, they feel a little dizzy or nauseated and realize they've been hitting it constantly for the last 15 minutes.

Put it somewhere that you have to walk to get to. Hit it a few times and walk off. When you feel the urge, come back and do it again.

Hi.

I'm new here myself.
I ordered my first personal ecig 2 weeks ago. Have had it for a week now. I was using the store bought disposable type before I ordered mine. From the good folks here I found the disposable was only a 16mg.
When I ordered mine I also got 18mg and 24 mg juice. I had no problem with the 24mg seems to sedate my need just fine. I'll use that during most the morning, then go to the 18mg. I do that souly for the reason of wanting to cut back on the nic.

I smoked from 1 1/2 to 2 packs a day so the 24 gives me that boast that helps.

Like others have said, if you start feeling effects from the 24mg just don't vape as often.

It's all very personal and I started at 36 mg. I'm now down to 20 mg and in the next 2 weeks will go down to 15.

Dang. I didn't know this thread was 6 months old when I saw it as a recent on the list.

Hi and welcome. I started at 24mg like many other posters here and quickly found it too strong. For some it is just right. All I can tell you is to expect a couple of months of fine tuning your vape. You will soon find the perfect strength and flavor for you

Lexus -

KR808D-1 models like V4L are the strongest slim minis. And WoW cartos are their hotter cartos and IMO their WOW juices have the most hit. Even some 24mg vapers find the hit on V4L + WOW carto + WOW juice 24mg too much hit. You may or may not. if you are a full strength smoker and hard dragger type, the hit may be fine for you.

I was a lights smokers started on the 16-18mg V4L WOW cartos.

Welcome Lexus

I started with 36mg, again its depends on how much you smoked and what gets you through the day when you are trying to stop smoking. I can now say after a couple of years I am down to on average 12mg, sometimes 8mg depending on the juice. You will do fine, just don't overvape and like others have said the first few weeks I would suggest you decrease your vaping in the evening. If not, dilute your liq/cart to decrease the mg with PG/VG.


I also didn't know the post was 6 months old, oh well its all good. Probably will help another newbie.

I started with 24mg cartos from Green Smoke. Ordered some DIY supplies and started mixing my own 80pg/20vg 24mg/ml @15% pg flavoring to refill those spending little units trying to make them last longer. Got tired of obsessing over exact amounts using the calculators since I combine 3 flavorings and a little 100 proof (thin works better in the GSs). So now I just cut 48mg pg down to a 24 80/20 big batch base and use 10ml at a time and add 1-1 1/2 ml flavors on top of that. Don't know what the final mg is now and don't care either! It's workin. Found I needed to cut out the nic at night tho while chain vaping at the computer because I was having trouble getting to sleep. Now I keep a bottle of nicless juice with same percentages on my desk and just keep a cart wet with that. It's workin too.
