i was a half pack a day smoker...or Marlboro Menthol Lights..I starting vaping with 16-18mg but still had Constant urges for Cigarettes...now i Vape 24mg and never even think about smoking

There are others on here who smoked 2-3 packs a day and now vape 12mg and don't smoke anymore

Most of the time when you buy a kit it will come with a Low-Middle-High Cartrige set...The only way to know what stops your urges is to start at Low and SLOWLY-SLOWLY work your way up till you no longer need a Cigarette anymore...SLOWLY!!

*Assuming* that you vape about as frequently as you smoked (e.g., 10-minutes of vaping 5 to 8 times a day), "low"* nicotine level should be just fine for you.

* "Low" is defined differently by different suppliers. For eample, I just received some e-liquid from Ruyan Direct. It's 11 mg (I knew that when I placed the order).

As for that assumption, many vapers (including yours truly) vape much more frequently than they smoked analogs (because vaping is so *enjoyable*). If you find yourself doing that, then you may want to cut that 6 mg with 0 mg OR alternate (as I do): vape 0 mg (very satisfying with some of the candy flavors) and the nicotine vape breaks whenever you "feel like a cigarette."

Savor and have responsible fun with the vaping experience!

Thanks. that does sound logical. My concern is that the low carts may be TOO high for me given that I only smoked a few cigs a day. I don't want to build UP my nic addiction while I'm getting off the analogs!

Control the amount of vapor that you breathe in. Take smaller puffs from the PV. Vape until you feel content, then put the PV down. This is all very controllable, depending on how into it you want to get.

I'm still trying to find a happy medium of nicotine levels, as I'm only on day 11 here. I still catch a nicotine high if I am not careful :p I smoked a pack a day of marlboro menthol lights, and think that 12mg juice is a bit high for me.

6mg liquid sounds good, I would suggest to get a stronger liquid as well just in case, so that you can find that happy medium yourself. Worst case, you end up having to cut your juice, which is actually pretty easy if you have the right supplies.

I am a vaping virgin who has been smoking analogs at the rate of 5 to 8 Ultra Light cigarettes a day. Would the 6mg liquid be too strong for me? Should I cut it with 0mg liquid? Any opinions would be helpful. Thanks.

Only you can tell that. If you have cravings vaping 6mg, move on up.
Go to 11mg, 18mg and so on until you crave no more. Your body will answer that better than we can. Good Luck and stay with it!!

What i don't understand? Slight thread jacking sorry....

I smoked Marlboro Menthol Light 100's about a half pack a day...i vape just as much if not more then i smoked...Yet i need 24mg or i'm drooling over everyone with a cigarette...

How do some people who smoked more/harsher cigarettes then me Vape a lower Mg/ml level then i do?

It may be your PV. For example, my new Prodigy hits a lot harder than my 801. 11-12 mg was working just fine for me with the 801, but I think I'll want to cut back to around 8 mg for the Prodigy. [Easy to do if you're DIYing, which I dabble in.]

This is not a criticism of any device. I still enjoy the relatively smooth experience of my 801. I think I'll still be using that a lot (especially with 0 mg candy flavors) for my "pacifier" vaping and use the Prodigy primarily for my nicotine fix breaks (analogous to my previous smoke breaks).

I smoked a pack a day of marlboro milds so when I started I went by the conversion chart I saw here which put me at like 8-10mg strength but that made me want to vape continually and I felt I wasnt ever getting enough so I upped to 18mg and am doing ok... vaping like 1 ml a day which I guess is kind of the same as a pack... I'm going to start lowering mine now and try to get to 0mg and just vape
