I am very new, like 15 minutes new. I am also pretty new to e-cig. I was told that the thing about these that makes them a healthier choice is that there is no tar which is the culprit in cancer. I just heard on the radio that there is nicotine in them. It kinda makes sense but never really thought about it. So is there nicotine or not?
Nicotine or no nicotine

Yes and no. I like the nicotine so all of mine do but some people have weaned themselves off and vape 0mg. It's more the hand-to-mouth addiction that the 0mg vapers are then satisfying.
Look on your packaging, it will tell you whether or not it contains nic. Some will say low, medium, high.

The great advantage of vaping is that you can CHOOSE your nicotine level (within reason). It's up to you.
The liquid used in ecigs can be no nicotine, low, medium or high. Everything above 24 mg / mL is meant to be diluted and used by people who make their own mix.

you can get e-liquid with different strengths of nicotine.. 24mg, 18mg, 12mg, 6mg, 0mg.. they have other options too. so its all up to you on how much nicotine you want.. or dont want.
I am a no nicotine vapor. Just enjoy the flavors and the cloud of vapor rather then the smoke and all that comes with the nicotine.
Well I know Bloog sells "ultra-high" nicotine cartimizers with 36mg/ml. But that's that highest I've seen. That's more than many people would ever want, but that's what got me through my first smoke free day (last 24hrs). I'll be trimming back on that until I get to a point were I'm comfortable based on my newly developing vaping habit.
If your trying to quite smoking I'd suggest going on the higher side at first.
Like others have said it just depends on the juice and what you want. I happen to love the herbal juice I get with no nicotine.
a site i use makes 32 mg e-liquid and im pretty sure it isn't meant to be diluted. any confirmation on this from other members?
Yes.
Many sites sell 30mg, 32mg or 36mg nic e-juice, ready to vape as is.
Click on the link in post #6 in this thread for more info as to why some might need that strength.
I see ECBlend does state after their 36mg "it's intended for dilution", but perhaps that is just for legal protection
I used 36mg for nearly two years with no ill effects; I certainly did not dilute it. Now I'm using 19mg and it's working but I needed the high nic in the beginning to help me avoid analogs.
If you need 36mg to keep you analog-free, don't hesitate.

You can choose your nicotine level. I got off the analogs using 6mg nicotine, which is more than half the level of analogs. I was looking to satisfy the hand to mouth part of the addiction.

A little technical info.
Cig nicotine numbers represent the amount nominally absorbed. A 0.9 or 18 mg (per pack) for cigarettes means 0.9 mg absorbed per cigarette.
(An average cigarette actually contains about 9 mg of nicotine, only 10% absorbed, which is what leads to 0.9 mg per cigarette.)
Eliquid nic level represents the base amount in the liquid. Typical absorbtion appears to be about 1/5 - 1/6 of that, depending on equipment, vaping style/experience, etc.
Vaping 18 mg/ml, a person is likely absorbing/processing about 3 - 4 mg per ml vaped.

my fren which quit vaping last year started wif nicotine content close to his analogs' initially - for replacement - den he slowly lowered his nicotine content as he went along.. to zero finally.
sounds like a sound method if y're looking to quit eventually.
personally, i'm still new to this and have no plans of quitting anytime soon.. so i'm sticking to my 12mgs. =P

Thank you for all the advice, I really appreciate it. Since I don't do my own mixing (cause I don't understand it) I was told the stremgth depends a lot on how much you smoke and whether I plan to use the e cig to quit smoking or use it to smoke in places you can't smoke real cig. So since I smoke 2 1/2 packs of menthols a day, I'm going to start with the highest mgs. I also ordered some that are a step down. The one I ordered is called green something. I ordered that one cause my husband works with someone who has used them for a yr and was able to quit smoking cig right away. Now she still uses e cigs just cause she likes them even though she smokes the 0 nicotone now. I have only smoked 2 diff throw aways which were ok so I'm hoping I like these new ones. My husband ordered it online but he is not a smoker. He ordered me one of the super duper kits plus many extra cartridges. The order came to $190.00, so I better like these. He wants me to quit really bad, plus my dr just had me get a chest xray and she said there was something odd on them, but radiologist still had to read them. So I hope I like this kit cause that's a lot of money to waste. My dr is thrilled that I am trying them cause I can't take chantix cause of other meds I take.
I'm assuming you're talking about a Greensmoke........ That's what got me off analogs but after about 4 weeks, I got tired of using it since the batteries don't last very long and they are hard to refill with your own juice. If any juice gets in the battery you can kiss it goodbye...... LOL! And the Cartos got to be just too expensive.... When you're ready for something bigger, post again and we will gladly guide you on your next purchase....... Happy vaping!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My Doc made me get a chest x-ray every 6 months. It was his form of abuse cause I smoked. I smoked maybe a little less than a pack of camels a day. When I started vaping, a 24mg carto would make me a little dizzie if I hit it hard. I was down to 6mg but then went back to 11-18 depending on the juice. Im about to order some 0mg juice to keep in another pv just to hit while my mind wanders .
.Food for thought here: I've only been vaping for about a month now, but before that, I was a 2.5-3 pack a day menthol smoker. I seem to have some insane tolerance for nicotine, I've never gotten the "head rushes" I've heard other people talk about, no matter how fast I smoked a cigarette. (And just for the record, in high school, I could smoke a Kool down to the filter in 29 seconds.) I tried to quit 10 years ago, and decided that the day before my quit date, I'd smoke my brains out, to "get it out of my system." I smoked 7.5 packs that day.....Wasnt sick, wasnt sore the next day, nothing.
So, when I decided to start vaping, I assumed I'd need to vape the strongest juice I could. I ordered some 36mg from somewhere, and went to it. About an hour later, I had a new definition of the word "nausea." Didnt throw up, but was pretty close. Not to mention I was so amped up I couldnt fall asleep until 5AM.
I'm currently vaping 12mg, and not hitting it anywhere near as much as I used to smoke. So you MAY want to reconsider starting out on a high dosage. Honestly, if I were you, I'd start at 18mg, and go down from there.
started out at 24MG and have cut down to 6MG. have a new order of 0MG on the way. Hope i can get nicotine free and just enjoy the flavors and vapor.
