After a week of getting into vaping, I'm ready to order some more juice :)

Originally, I got six 10mL bottles of 18mg/mL. There are certain points where I feel this is not strong enough, particularly in the morning. There are other times where I find it too strong, mainly closer to bed time. Also, the chocomint I have actually makes the 18mg seem strong, yet the pomegranate doesn't satisfy my at all..I'm thinking of ordering either half 24mg and half 12mg, mixing them when I want 18mg, and using the 24mg in the morning or at work for my quick fixes, and 12mg in the evening. I have a feeling this will leave me with a bunch of 24mg juice once the 12mg is finished though...


OR should I just order 18mg and 12mg.. I think my body would adjust to it, and make the 18mg feel like it's stronger than I feel it is now.


Input please! :D

I would just order the juice I like in all the different strengths that you want, keep them in marked carto tanks, and throw them on and off when you're ready for a higher or lower strength.

I should have ordered more clearos when I ordered a few more batteries lol. The website with the juice doesn't have the clearos I like :(


also, my bank account is going to hate me :evil:

You can get clearos anywhere. I would just get a couple packs of Boge cartos.

And yes, the bank accounts of vapers usually hate the owners. :)

I would not order to much at the 24mg - especially if you find you only need it in the morning. I started with 18mg and actually found it too strong - at first. So my second order I went with 15mg and then only used the 18mg when I was having thoughts about smoking.

Now at almost 2 months in I never want the 18mg and I have several bottles still. The order I just received I went with all 12mg and will start switching it up with the 15 mg. Don't really have a plan to go to no nic - but you never know - for now just trying to get lower to see how it goes.

Oh - and I too find it frustrating that I have to go to multiple places to get what I want. It does mean that you have to plan out your shopping and I now always order extra juice dispensing devices with every order. I guess if things change with availability - I figure it won't hurt to have extra :D

G'Day ridethespiral, nice name - got it as I typed it!! I find myself with different needs at different times of the day and like u cut it down in the evening. Early morning I enjoy that extra bit of nic. Flavour - I love a full bodied flavour at any time and even been enjoying menthol and never was a menthol smoker. I work between 6 and 12 mgs as I am trying to cut it down but early morning or when there is a bit doing, I hit it up to the 12mg.
I will continue to just vary as I need and Vape On!! Cheers and enjoy the vaping and the fun of experimenting. What an adventure!! :)

Nic stregnth has been the hardest thing for me with this vaping

I started out with 18mg and a 510T system but I was not getting enough vapor out of the 510 to feel the nicotine
So I bought 24mg and a VV battery and some clearos and then I was getting so much vapor from it that the 18mg was too strong and made me sick
So I bought 6mg and while I was waiting for it to arrive my body got used to the 18mg and the 6mg might as well have been 0mg... it had nothing
So now I'm back to 18mg when I need a buzz and just using the 6mg for flavor in between
It's a slippery slope :D

In Canada if you smoke Players Light, Export A blue, Dumaurier Light you'd go with 12's for the same intake. JPS, Dumarier Regular, Canadian Classics=18. Players Filter, Export A green = 24. Just so you know what your intake would be off of your old habit.

Based off of the nicotine content they used to display on the packs.

Thanks. I smoked export a blues, but I smoked them really fast and they were regulars. The 18mg seems to be doing the trick right now. 2ND day of no smoking!

I think people become overly preoccupied with nicotine strength. We were all smokers and we so have a higher tolerence for nicotine than a non-smoker. Cigarettes are certainly more efficient at getting nicotine than vaping, and if we didn't OD while smoking, we probably won't vaping.

People need to listen to their body. If you feel as though you're vaping to much, stop vaping for awhile. It's all about reducing cravings so you don't smoke. If you go too low too quickly, most people go back to smoking.

The weird thing I noticed is that juices with the same nic strength have different effects. The halo Malibu in 18mg/ml I got in yesterday with some extra gear seems to pack a punch. A few pulls of this stuff and I'm good for a while.

Then the 18mg/ml pomegranate I have doesn't do anything for my cravings. Needless to say, I'm not ordering juice from that vendor again, even though it tasted yummy.

With the 18 and 12mg strengths, I'll probably mix a 15ml bottle worth to create some 15mg juice to make the curve between strengths less steep.

18mg in morning and work. 15 mg up until supper or just after, and 12mg for the remainder of the evening.

I haven't smoked in years
But I agree smokers are excellent at adjusting to nicotine stregnth
You smoke lights, you drag harder, deeper, faster to get that nick
You smoke full strength, you ease up on cigarette
Vaping is the same I think
I just loaded up some 24mg last night and now I don't vape as much or as deep
Saves juice and battery life and still get that buzz I want
