Yet another question, yes I'm a noobie. I smoked 1 pack for over 20 years. I was looking online at juices and I'm wondering where to start? I think I'm gonna start with a tank but really wanna learn how to rebuild,, that's way down the road though lol. If I start at 10 or 24mg in an aerotank & I wanna drip in a few months will it be too strong or will I be OK? What MG did u start at if u smoked over a pack a day? I guess it would be smart to order a sample pack with couple different strengths so I don't end up w/ a bunch of juice I don't like...

I would not recommend dripping 24 mg. In a tank I usually use 12 or 18 mg but when I'm dripping I use 6 mg.

I'd agree with this. I started at 18mg and I vape anything from 3 to 18 now depending on the equipment I am using, where I am, what I am doing and the flavor of the liquid I am using. I tend to drip 3-6mg and use higher strengths in RTA's (tanks)

I'd recommend getting a couple of 24mg bottles, some 18 and maybe even some 12mg. When I first started vaping I couldn't sleep at all - using 12mg after dinner through to bedtime helped a lot.

If you want you can try to find a flavor you like and then get multiple bottles in different strengths - that way you can fine tune the strength just by mixing them with no effect on the flavor.

I started with 24mg got down to 18mg for awhile but am back on 24mg now. Vape less do not have the cravings, which you think would be long gone, but not. I blame some of that on reading this forum and everybody talking about it!

I was thinking the other night, sure I say 24mg, 18mg etc. but I actually have no idea how accurate that is or what the juice guys in fact give me. In an unregulated market who the hell knows, even regulated everything is not actually tested and it comes down to trust I suppose.

As long as I don't get nic sick I don't care much about how much nicotine I consume at this early stage.

I was a pack a day for some time. I started at 18 and am now down to 12. I think it's wise to try a higher leve than you think otherwise you will not be satisfied. We all know where that leads to.

I totally agree! I'd get some juice at 24mg and then another at 18mg. Then, when you really want a cigarette and begin to think about looking for your lighter, vape on the 24mg until that feeling passes, then vape on the 18mg. I actually had to go higher, but that's another story. Good luck to you !!!!

I was a 5-6 cigar a day smoker. PAD when I smoked cigarettes. Total of about 30 years smoking. I started on 18 in a tank. Nicotine really effects the flavor of juices. At first you probably won't notice it, however the further i get from a cigarette the more I notice it. some juices don't even really taste the same, at 18 all I can taste is the nicotine. And I have only 3 weeks completely away from cigars. My personal advice would be to try an 18, and a sample size if possible of 24. 24 was so harsh to me I couldn't have vaped it long enough to quit. But everyone is different. Later on you could always cut it down a little with some vg. Some places have vg and pg super cheap. Bull City Vapors has it for 2.50 / 120ml. I wouldn't recommend a sample pack of things you won't like desertvapes.com has sample sizes around $2.

I mostly drip or use a Fogger. When I am really craving a cigarette I will mix up a little stronger juice to a 9mg or 12mg and blow my skull off witha fat nic buzz.
