Nicotine Strengths

[Noreen]

Does anyone know what the nicotine strength is for something like USA Menthol Light 100's?
Am new to vaping and am trying to figure out what strength of liquid to order that matches what I smoke in an analog.
Thanks for any help you can give!!

i believe u would want to stay near the 10-12 range a lil less if you are looking to chain vape i went higher to 24 and my stomach has been hurting but i cant stop flavor is to good but between 8-12 should be ideal

Welcome!

It's really impossible to predict what strength someone will like based on what cigarette you smoked. I'd suggest getting some 12 and 24. If the 24 is too high, add some 12 to lower it. Or if 12 is too low, add some 24.

Make sure to get some good quality juice. Or try samples from a few vendors.

Welcome to ecf! i use to smoke marlboro smooths and was using 18mg liquid for the first thing i used (which was yesterday lol) been smoke free for a little more than 24 hours lol. i received the juice i ordered today in the mail and WOW the 24mg might be a little much for me lol im gonna need somthing between those. so id say as stated above probly 8-16mg should do you in

@ OP - Welcome to ECF!!

you mentioned you smoked USA Menthol Light 100's but not if it was a pack a week or 5 packs a day, that should figure into the considerations on vape juice. Also did you take extra long drag on your lights? cover up the air vents on the filter with your lips - finger? Studies have shown "lights" smokers self adjusted their nicotine intake with smoking more, longer drag, etc.....

swedishfish is correct in recommending somewhere between 12 -24mg, as that is the most common range and easy to adjust up or down. Buy small samples of different strength and flavors and experiment to find your own best level.

It really is impossible to tell which nicotine level is going to work for you. You can't base it on what kind of cigarettes you smoke. I used to smoke Ultra Lights and I started with 18mg. That was too weak for me and I ended up bumping to 24mg for a while. If someone had told me that I needed to start with 12mg just because I smoked Ultra Lights, I would've been pulling my hair out looking for a cigarette.

Get some juice with a couple of different levels, like Swedish said. It's easier to move the nic level around by doing what she said and it'll be easier to find the right nic level for you.

BTW, I chain vape 18mg...just saying.

Experiment and see what fits you best..try 18mg, and a 8 or 12 mg to see whats good for your tastes..

Welcome to ECF the journey of quitting cig's is long and sometimes painful but with vaping and these people on this forum all the pain and struggle just goes away and the journey starts to seem more of a vacation in paradise.

I would agree with swedishfish and the others get some samples from some vendors in anything from 2-6-12-18-24mg of nic and see what works for you. If 6mg works good for you if 24mg works for you also fine you can work your way down to 0mg over time either way best of luck and once again welcome.
