Newbie here, and thank you....

anybody ever used 36mg?! Used it back in the day, hahahha...worse mistake ever. i got headaches from that strength, progressively went lower, and have gotten down to 4mg (6mg/0mg pg/vg mix). i'm somewhat proud of it. eventually, most vapors move their way down the nicotine strength scale. Like others said, start around 18-24mg and work your way down. gl!

LOL.. can't say I've ever heard of a nicotine-intolerant smoker!

Well, then perhaps I shall buy both. I'm ordering from the site based in China, as their prices are very reasonable and this seems a good place to start and learn without risking alot. I'll just order some stuff and experiment! DH smokes too, so if I don't like it, he can give it a go, perhaps.

Thanks for your help! And congrats on your NO SMOKING. I hope to join you.

I resemble morpheus' comment. Although I smoked 2 PAD for 30 years, reds, I totally chain vape. So overall, 18mg was a bit much for me. I dropped it down to 16mg and I'm good now. And down to 12mg a few hours before bed. The way the nicotine is delivered is what acconts for the difference.

I was 1to 1 and /2 pad smoker for twenty years mostly Benson and Hedges deluxe ultra light menthols ( wow what a mouthful .. Don't have to say that 3 times at the counter anymore when the cashier asks what kind? ) had my last analog on Thanksgiving day as I was walking into my b&m. Started on 18 mg and just started 12 mg hoping to keep lowering to eventually zero nic.

Please let us know how your doing with it after you get it, Natasha! Best of luck to you. And LV SuzyQ, I smoked Benson & Hedges Deluxe Ultra Light Regulars so I had to say a lot at the counter too! Lol

Good for you! I hope I can do the same.

Welcome to ECF

 

[aussiemama67]

I got an joyetech ego c2 and love it. I use it with Vivi nova clearomizers. Have the minis (holds 2.5ml of the juice) but thinking of getting the regular size (holds 3.5ml). Easy to clean and reusable.
I didn't get the 'starter kit' just 2 1000mah batteries and 2 sets of clearomizers, + the e-liquids.
Have heard and read 98% good reviews also.

Good luck!

 

[MiamiMom63]

The egos are good, aussiemama. Sounds like you got a great setup.

RECAP & REVIEW:

My 1st Volt order arrived this past Thurs. (Prem starter kit, 4 boxes pre-filled cartos, misc chargers, PCC)
2nd order arrived today (Niquids, blank cartos, 2 Nanos). And I've learned some things:

I prefer a 1.2 or 1.8 nic to a 2.4.
I have ashtray mouth and so far the only flavors I can "taste" (barely) are Sinnamon & Mintoid.
Tobacoo flavors only add to the "ashtray mouth".. nix those.
There IS a difference in vaping methods... dragging on a cig vs sucking on a straw. The latter being far more friendly to the taste buds.
I prefer the new Niquids to the pre-filled carto flavors.
I prefer filling the Nanos to filling blank cartos. For one, the Nano is usable sooner after filling. And, I also like the mouthpiece better on the Nano. And I can see the liquid level. Need more Nanos.
I've learned that now I need to place another order tomorrow....

So far, I'm in the hole $-wise. Howev, I've not smoked an analog since the Volt arrived. Nor do I want to. So, except for this "ashtray mouth" nonsense, I am verah pleased.

Thank all of you again for your assistance!
