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 started at 24mg nic (2.5 pack a day smoker).
I had to adjust to 18mg a couple of days later, because of the frequency at which I vaped.
I will be stepping down to 12mg soon I think, as I'm still getting over nic'd at 18mg.

43yr PAD smoker. Started at 18mg with no issues. a few months ago I got my first rebuildable, a kayfun 3.1 clone. I had to decrease my nic by half due to getting nic od symptoms. No big thing, I just bought 0mg of my ADVs and mixed them 50/50.
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 am using 6mg and 18mg but i will probably go to 12mg because i don't want to vape all day but only when i feel the need for nicotine. 18 hits you hard if you didn't smoke a lot. and 6mg is so easy and light that i vape all day and i done want to burn through coils.

I was a 45 year >PAD smoker. I quit completely 2 years ago starting out with 36 mg/ml nicotine and now I'm down to 12.
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 started at 36 n 48mg from myfreedomsmokes.com (a few puffs n i threw my smokes away 20ish yrs now 1year under belt) i used protanks n ce4s for a while...i would recomend an aspire nautilus mini (with metal tank protector) and a mvp2 or variable ego spinner w/beauty ring. or an evod starter kit. their cigar flavors are pretty good i mixed cigar-cherry n coffee for an awesome vape
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 !!!!
About a pack a day for 10 years. Started with 18mg or 16mg. After 3 months dropped to 8mg and haven't looked back.
I smoked 1-2 packs a day, camel wides. I started out with a tank @18mg, this was nowhere near enough for me to put down the cigs. Moved up to 36mg the next week and that was enough to curb the cravings. Within two months I was at 9mg in a tank, 3mg for dripping. Now I DIY @ 2mg and couldnt be happier.
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.
