Newbie needs strength recommendaion

[BikerBob]

Hi All! Looking for the right strength of liquid here....

Smoking background: 35+ yrs smoking, last at about 25-30 analogs/day. Various MYO tobaccos.

e-cigarette background: 2 different disposables, were so-so. Then, an inexpensive 'cigarette-size' (85mm) rechargeable, with 3 carts (555 flavor) and 10ml of 555 juice. This got me really interested (new flavor!) Found myself at work with only this one day, and made through 8 hours + commute. Found this site, read way too many posts, and decided to start myself with Vision Clearomizers (510), and some Dekang 555 and 'USA Mix' juice (both 24mg). They arrived on a monday, and tuesday's wake-up smoke tasted so bad in comparison, that was the last analog I've had, and have been vaping since then. Tomorrow will be 1 week.

Now, 30ml of juice later, I'm trying to decide on my next juice purchase. Should it be 24mg again, or might I need something stronger, at least in the beginning here. I'm finding the clearomizers can leak, and I lick off the drop or 2 of spillage (which I do find tasty) and that becomes a highlight in my vaping experience, as it really helps the cravings, though I'd rather not be drinking this juice.

My current thinking is either:

• some 32mg samples, and some 0mg flavorless, in case the 32mg is too much.
• 24mg samples, and try not to lick up so much spillage.

Any recommendations here?

Thanks
...Bob

hi and welcome to the ECF!

as far as flavorless, you can get it at walmart in the pharmacy section, just ask for the glycerin....it is 100% VG with no flavor or nic....as far as the 24/32mg debacle, if you are satisfying yourself after a week of strict vaping, you should probably stick to the 24, although its more a personal preference...i know that halo offers sample packs if you want to order a couple of different flavors in small quantities and try them all out, which i will highly recommend here and let you experiment

I started at 18mg and went up to 24 and have been fine since. I actually have noticed my juice consumption has dropped, so I may go back to 18 soon. You could try 36, but I couldn't use it in the beginning, and I was coming off a 2 pack a day habit. But you could always cut it if needed. Or you could lower the resistance if your delivery device or increase your voltage to provide more vapor production.

Good luck wither way!

I vaped 36mg from Innovaper for a while, it was definitely intense but it worked out well for drinking nights. The throat hit was nuts and I loved that. But it eventually felt like overkill, since I like to chain vape anyway. Now 24mg typically works fine.

If you want to check it out, Aroma Ejuice sells whole tobacco alkaloid juice, which gives you a closer buzz to smoking a cigarette. I've tried several flavors and it's pretty good.

If the 24mg is working for you I'd stick with that and maybe a sample or 2 of 32mg for the tough cravings. I started with 24mg at first but enjoyed vaping so much that I'd get a little over-nic'd at times so I went to 18 and kept 24 around just in case.

Yes, that was another thought (did I say I read way too many posts?), and I do see higher voltage/lower resistance as another way to go. Also, some like cartomizers vs. clearomizer, depending on the juice.

Since I'm new to this, the only way to find out what works best for me is to try...but there is a *lot* of experience in this community, and I'd like to mix some of that in my juice.

Thanks for your input!
