I would have to echo the VG over PG. My throat was pretty sore until I switched. I also went to 28mg nicotine from 16mg. Big help there!! Now, I've been a heavy smoker for a long time, so you may not want to go that high, but bump up until you get to where the cravings subside. I'm new as well - same boat as you - dramatic cut done, but not quit yet. Once my husband and friends convinced me that I don't massively suck for not going cold turkey, it actually got easier! lol Hey! A couple a day IS waaaay better than 20+ a day!!! You can do this!!! ...and have fun checking out new gadgets/flavors/methods on the way!!

First welcome to ECF and congrats on the success your having so far. Ok now I'll chime in. As you've already noticed there are a lot of differentl opinions due to the fact that not all people are the same. I did see a recomendation on the vivi nova's and I like them a lot. I like them enough to own ten of them. But I've started using a carto/tank system lately so the nova's kinda took a back seat. Don't worry about carto/tanks yet, that will be farther down the road for you. A lot of people suggested a higher VG content, while I will go for the higher PG content. The VG give me a heavy lung and throat feeling that I can't get rid of. The higher ratio PG cured that problem. I'm gonna suggest trying different samples of different ratios, and nic levels. I tried to drop down to 18mg but had to recently go back up to a 24mg. And one very important thing. DRINK LOTS OF WATER, ALL THE TIME. vaping will dehydrate you so stay on top of the water intake. Take your time, down to 3-5 a day is fantastic. And don't go into brain freeze from all the information your gonna get from the members. After all each and every one of us want to help. I wish you luck on the new journey my friend.:toast:

Exactly!!! I just bought some 24ml and 36ml from a local shop (as well as a standard resistance Stardust carto to see if the lower resistance might help.) I can't WAIT to experiment! AND I figured I could get different cartos and keep different flavor/nic levels in them... the cartos are only $5 at my local store.
