Picking the right nicotine level

[NanC]

I smoked 1-2 packs of ultra lights a day and also started with 18mg.

I see-sawed between 12mg and 24mg the first weeks trying to find the right level and have settled at 12mg most of the time.

I am only using 6mg as I quit analogs about 8 weeks, but have only been vaping a couple of days. My hubby quit analogs with me at the same time, but over the last week has crept back up to 5 analogs a day. I am trying to get him on board ecigs, but I think the 6 mg is too low and the juice that came with my starter kit is 26 (and a few cartridges pre-filled for my 510 are marlboro - high)....He has tried to use the ecig with a marlboro high cartridge today, but thinks it is too strong and making his throat sore

I have been reading and trying to school myself in this, and I do realize this is trial and error....but I have a few questions: How long should a cartridge last? Like I use it abit in the morning and in the afternoon, and more in the evening, but I found myself adding ejuice here and there throughout the evening. When should you replace the filler in the cartridges? I did order some o mg ejuice flavoring, can I mix that with a tobacco flavoring at 26 or 25 mg?

Any help is appreciated....thanks

You can mix anything with anything.

If you mix 50/50 you will get 13mg strength.
If you mix 75/25 you will get 6.5mg strength.
If you mix 25/75 you will get 19.5mg strength.

^^Thanks for the breakdown DC! So, like 8 drops of 0 nic with 8 drops of 25 to get the 13 mg?

Yes indeed.

I smoked lights, and I'm running 18mg for the throat hit. Tried 12mg, and it wasn't quite enough for me.

I smoked for 5 years which isn't much considering some of you guys have been smoking for a lot longer....I would try and keep myself at around 3-6 cigs a day before I got my e-cig. I was more of a social smoker than anything...I would get grumpy if I didn't have a cig for a day or two and had a little bit of "wanting" the nicotine. When I got my e-juice I tried low...ehh...so i went to med and that was too much for me...so im still at low (14mg). I most likely should be in between but i'm working my way down to zero before the beginning of July.
