I was a pack a day plus for about 45 years+, Marlboro smoker. I started at 24mg and it worked great for me. You can always go down if it is too much. I would also suggest buying small quantities until you find what is good for you.

...my recommendation is to go with (18r)24mg, if you go with the higher(36mg), be sure to get something lower to cut it with...just in case...the comparison is so hard to make...I was a 3ppd lights smoker, started with 12 and that was waaaaay to low...went upto 24 and that blew my socks off, since then, I have settled in at 16mg and considering giving 12 another chance...since, I have been here, I have seen 1/2ppd ultra light smokers, that needed 36 to quit and heavier smokers than me who did nicely with 12...it is just soooo hard to tell.......

I bought 24 & 12 of the same juice. I figured I could mix them together to lower if I wanted to. I found 24 was perfect for me and I had a bottle of 30 around for when I had strong cravings.
You can always lower the juice by adding a few drops of distilled water, or VG. You can't increase the nicotine. Get small bottle of varying strengths to see what works best for you.

My mother and I smoked a pack a day maybe a bit more on stressful days. 18 worked for her but I mix mine at 20 so I woulf try 18 or 24 if I were you maybe order small size of both and see which one works.
Some people need high nicotine to make the transition from cigs to pvs. It may just be a matter of a week or two. Once you transition over, lower the nic if you want to. It's all about getting off the smokes. Don't worry about the numbers.
Well, already answered but I'll agree with the consensus. I was a pack-a-day menthol smoker and started on 24mg. Was perfect. I accidentally used a 36mg juice when a 24mg ran out and within 2 hours I had a STONKING headache I never wish to repeat. So 24mg is perfect for new vapers coming off a pack-a-day habit, in my experience.
It is one of those things that vary from person to person. 18-24mg should do you right. Get some VG from Walmart or some 151 proof vodka (or Everclear if you can get it) and try some 24mg, this way you can cut it down a bit if it is too strong.
Trust me you'll know if it is too strong. You'll be zinging like you ate a mouth full of whole coffee beans and drank a dozen red bulls

Yeah, I've cut down quite a bit in the past few years.. 2 years ago I was smoking 3 packs a day (God knows how I was able to afford it!!) but am quite content with a single pack a day.
My wife quit after 40 years of smoking 2 packs a day ("Ozark Eddie's Skeeter Chasers" I think), and started out with 18mg, then went up to 24mg, then back down to 18mg. She says that she is going to try to "go lower" at some point, maybe after New Years. She's vaping w/no analogs for the last 8+ months, using a Silver Bullet plus other mods, and is perfectly satisfied.
My transition began when I saw 18mg disposables at a convience store near my house. I figured it was an easy way to test e-cigs as an analog replacement. Best thing I ever did. They were pricey tho so I started looking online for kits, this led to me finding out about mods. Now I am going for DIY juice to get that perfect mix thats all my own creation. Vaping has become my newest hobby.
I bought small bottles of 24mg and 36mg when I started I ended up settle on 24mg after a while then dropped to 18mg after about a month and went down from there
I was a pad Marlb. Ultra Lights smoker. I find anywhere between 18mg - 24mg works best for me. Will eventually lower this, but for now, this level keeps the "twitchy" feeling away.
I was a ppd smoker and started using 24mg juice, which worked well for me. As a smoker I always took heavy drags and always smoked the entire cigarette. My wife was also a ppd smoker, but not as heavy so to speak and 24mg was way too much for her system.
My point is take the dosage advise as a general guide...what ever you decided it couldn't hurt to get some pg or vg to cut your "juice" it if it doesn't feal right to you.
