Smoked a pack a day for 10 years(MAR Lights). Advise on nicotine concentration?

Hi - probably about 18mg to 24mg. You may want to get some of both to see which one works better for you.

 

[Killowatt]

I also smoked 1 to 1.5 PAD, I vape 18mg, you could try that or 12mg and see how you feel.

 

[Shreck]

yes get different levels to get going. you may not even need that much or you may need more. everyone is different. 18-24 is a good starting point.

 

[HattoriHanzo]

Thanks! I am going to try some Joye MAB 18mg product.

Yea it differs between each person. I was a PAD of Camel Menthols...I started at 24mg nic but it was to high for me, to much throat/lung hit. I am using 12mg now, have a couple bottles of 15mg also that is fine also. For me at least it was finding the right throat hit without it being to much, and 12mg seems to do the trick...I also think it is different from different vendors also. Right this second I am vaping 18mg juice from Mom&Pops, and it is fine, from other vendors it was to much. I would definitely buy small bottles of different nic levels though and not one big purchase of all the same nic like I did once, that wasn't good lol.

I highly recommend 18. The only reason why I would recommend a new vapor to vape on 24 is if they were a 2-3 pack a day smoker.

I smoked over a PAD for 15 years. I mainly vape at 18mg but soon purchased a bottle of 24mg for my bad cravings the first few weeks. As someone else said I'd grab both just to be on the safe side or at least 1 bottle of 24mg & the rest at 18.

I was at almost 2 packs a day and 18mg works quite well for me. Anymore seems to choke me. Hope this helps you.

PAD Camel Lights. I preferred 18 simply because when I was quitting I was chain vaping. When I did that with some 24 I had ordered I definitely felt like I was over doing it. I reserved that 24 for nights out when I thought I would crave an analog more..

No longer feel the need to have any 24 on hand and plan on going from 18 to 12 by my 6 month mark...

While your nicotine crave may be covered with vaping there is still withdrawal from the other Whole tobacco alkaloids in analogs. Varies from user to user. Not to mention whatever else Big tobacco has squeezed in there. Nice thing about vaping is a major one is covered with nicotine on top of the hand to mouth, occupied hands, inhale exhale, vapor( smoke) habits...

I was a half a packs day smoker and it took 24 to curb my desires. Ithink it depends on how you smoke not just how much you smoke. I took very long and deep drags on my analogs.

 

[HattoriHanzo]

Thanks for the advice everyone. This helps a lot!

Also consider your delivery devise. If your using a 808 w/carto vs a "cloud of vapor" RBA you will find a lower nic% is necessary with the high volume vapor units. Buy a bottle of 12 and 24, mix 1/2 of each and you'll end up with 12,18 & 24 to play with.

If you get some 18 and some 24 you can decide which is best for you. You can always mix them together 50/50 and wind up with 21.

i'd say start with 18
i started with 24 and now if i try to lower the nic juice i end up vaping a 30ml bottle of liquid at lower than 16 in less than 2 days

 

[fold_moiler]

smoked a pad of newports for 10 years. i started on 24 went to 18 2 weeks later. now i'm back at 24 because all my 18mg juice is gone.

 

[StarDose]

I think 24 would be too much, I smoked about a pad for 20 years and 12mg works well for me. You could try 18mg but wouldn't go any higher than that, but its just my opinion.

Also make sure you get a decent setup its helps as much as the nic. The smaller 510 setup helped me cut down allot but my twist setup helped me quit altogether. Anyways gl glad to hear you are making the switch along with us all

 

[Dana A]

I would say 12 and 18 to start with. I smoked 2 PAD of your same brand and I started at 26 and am now at 12.

 

[SouthernBliss]

I started the 11th with 24 but it seems to be to high for me right now. I think how much time you spend vaping will also change how high the nicotine needs to be. I've swapped in some lower through the day. I've got a couple of 30ml bottles that are 24 and only just now getting mature enough to use so I have a feeling I'll need to order some much lower of the same type to blend in with them. Which will mean yet more waiting on "steeping" no doubt.

 

[cramer]

I would try the 18 and see how that works. Seems like nicotine levels affect everyone differently...
I ended up mixing to get around 15 so I could "smoke" the amount of time i wanted but feel like I was getting enough nicotine to satisfy but not irritate my throat.
Good Luck.
