The Nicotine level for me from others experience,ultra lights smoker

[Poke]

Hi Guys!

So I got around to ordering my Joye eGo from cignot and now i've been looking at freedomsmokeUSA as an ejuice supplier, due to bizarre web issues (my end) my initial order had to be refunded (i'll say it again just to be sure it was my fault not freedomsmoke's)

I thought i'd take this opportunity to do what I should of done before and that was ask, what kind of nicotine level do people recommend from a selection of 0,6,12,18,24,30 & 36mg?

My current choice of analogs are Winston Ultra lights of which I smoke about 15 a day. I've tried NRT stuff before (with no success of course lol) and i've found anything heavy gives me a splitting headache. Even on 2mg nicotine gum if I wasn't careful i'd end up with a headache!

Unfortunately the samplers only come in 24mg's so i'm looking at the small 5ml bottles of their stuff, mostly the wyatt earp and ry4, i.e the popular recommended stuff from here.

I'm pretty set on the flavors I want to try out i'm just not too sure on the nicotine levels, ultimately I don't want to be left with just the heavy nicotine carts that come with the cignot starter pack, sitting there with a splitting headache and being forced to smoke the analogs just so I don't vomit lol.

I was thinking 6mg or 12mg, how have previously ultra light type smokers fared with such choices?


ps. I'm 29 tomorrow (the 24th), so i'm hoping that my path on being much healthier starts very soon, always said to myself i'd be free of smoking by 30!

12 mg should be good for you. I generally vape 18 mg and found that a little strong at first. 12 mg is really smooth. I've found 16 mg Janty Crystal Liquid is smooth and a good happy medium.

Pretty hard to make a recommendation for someone else. I'd suggest you start lower and move up if you feel the need. I began with 12mg quickly moved on to 24mg and have now dropped down to 16-18mg after almost 3 months of vaping.

aye thought it would be a personal issue, i'll deffianately grab some 12mg though, thanks people

Wyatt Earp is good. I received a 3ml sample with my last order. I like the MaxBoro and Pall Mall. If you order Almond Joy or Vanilla Classic ask for an extra splash of chocolate or Vanilla (free click at the top of the page). That may be just my taste buds, but someone else here said the same thing. Must be something to it.

I smoked 2PAD of Doral Ultra Lights and did well on 24mg. I"m stepping down to 18mg now. If you are sensitive to nic, you might need to be lower. Use your craving for an analog as the measure of effectiveness. You should be able to vape heavy for a minute or so and have the craving go away for a while. If not, you may be too low in the nic concentration range.

If you start too high and experience dizziness and/or slight nausea, cut back. Sometimes it takes a couple of hours for a nic overdose to return to normal so you might want to ramp up. In case you start at 12mg and it's not enough you might want to order one 5ml bottle of a higher nic juice to get you by until you can order more. You can always mix same sized bottles of the same flavor juice, add the nic levels together and divide by 2 to get the nic level. If your 12mg isn't enough, order a 24mg bottle of the same size, mix, and you will have a larger amount of 18mg juice.

I also was a light cig smoker and have the same headache issues you do. I started at 24mg and found it way too strong for me. The throat hit was crazy too with Marlboro crappy e liquid from China. So I diluted the 24 MG with about 1/3 rd VG. The taste went down and the vapor went up but it was usable then so I kept it and used it until better e-juice could get here. I am waaaay to lazy to mix so I started ordering 18mg per ml from MadVapes Top Vapor. I found out what good e-juice was all about then. This was the push to get me completely away from analogues altogether, no cheating here! Hint, I like the Top Vapor Vanilla Latte the best. It's smooth, vapor rich, and very tasty to me. I have also found love in Dakang (Chinese) RY4 and Red Bull. Just an honest opinion. If you are headache sensitive, 24mg is going to bother you most likely.

Hope this helps!

Holy smokes (b'dum tsh) I love this forum way to much, you guys are incredibly helpful, I really appreciate the time taken!

Also glad i'm not the only one with nicotine sensitivity when it comes to anything other than a regular cigarette, all those decades of making the smoother smoke by the tobacco industry really made for something unnatural. Makes me wonder how much of the 4k chemicals was all about keeping the smoker enjoying something he naturally shouldn't

I would get more than one mg level. I know I use 24 in the morning, 18 during most of the day and go down to 12 at night. If I'm doing more than 12 at night I can't get to sleep, but I need a bigger kick in the morning. A variety will help you figure out what will work for you.

smoked marl ultra lights. Most people recommended 11 0r 12mg. It wasnt enough for me. My sweet spot is 18mg. But I smoked longer than your age so that may play a part in finding your nic level. I agree order different levels of nic to find it. I only use vaporbomb and freedomsmokeusa for all my juice. Cant say enough good things about either company. But I dont like Wyatt Earp at all! A lot of people like it but its not for me!

It really is something you'll just have to play with.

I was a 30-a-day full-flavor, sometimes filterless smoker. Most people who smoked like me are vaping 24mg or even 36mg. I can't go over 18mg.

There's an ultra-light smoker here, on the other hand, who's vaping 24mg.

It seems like the juice strength we need doesn't always correlate perfectly with what our smoking habits were.

It really does vary, a lot. If I had to guess, I'd say 12mg is a good place to start. But you could wind up at 6mg, or 24mg. I'd recommend you get samplers in various strengths, and just try it out.

Like others will tell you, required nicotine level is very subjective. Vaping habits differ greatly.

I was a pack a day Parliament Lights smoker (10 years) and after some experimenting I found that 8mg was my magic number (even though many assumed that would be way too low).

11mg made me woozy, 6mg was way too light. Just experiment (with care). If you get dizzy, lay off. Also be careful if you're continuing with analogs (like most newbies do).

Welcome to the forum, and to a happier, healthier life...

I am scary close to MI, I live in Perrysburg. I assumed you were a Londoner, what with the Chelsea avatar, haha I was Spurs fan myself. Although I suppose my true affiliations were with St.Mirren or Celtic being from Paisley, Scotland originally.

I was very tempted to buy from Vaporbomb but due to the silly in state taxes I decided not too, still boggles me why they'd discourage buying "in-state", thought we were all ment to be saving the planet or whatever

What happens at Vape Fest's then?

totally digging the juices i just got from freedomsmoke man. my first juices i bought with my kit weren't that great at all..didn't taste BAD..just not the strongest flavor. I'm dripping on a bridgeless 510 atty on an eGo battery in heaven with almond from FSUSA.

I smoked 2 PAD and I think when I start getting low on just my 24mg is going down to 18mg. I tend to vape pretty heavily tho..you may not puff on yours as often as i do..and I smoked mediums where you smoked ultra lights. The first hit felt like the first time I took a drag off of a cigarette or other times I'd quit for a few weeks and given in. well - not the feeling of it but the effects of the nicotine.

I don't mean to advertise FSUSA either but i thought i'd let you know at least I'm happy with the stuff they mixed for me

 

[CaptJay]

I was an Ultralight smoker - 12mg is good for me, but tbh 16mg is as well, I just cant vape it all day the way I can with 12. I prefer lots of vaping so I use 12, or 0 now n again, but 16mg isn't 'too much' as far as giving me headaches goes. 24mg I can use too btw but only in short bursts as too of that WILL give me headaches lol.
I agree with get a couple of strengths idea - we are all different.

Not a problem with me in the slightest, not sure about the moderators though. I've exchanged about 4 -5 emails with David & Pam in one day and that's before they've got a dime out of me lol, just really nice people, i'm actually happy spending money with them, people who care like that should be millionaires tbh lol

Oh and to not sound like an ungrateful *^% Cignot got my order out about an hour after ordering, that was fantastically speedy

Thanks for the constant tips and recommendations people, every single bit of info helps tremendously

My two favorite and only suppliers, you're going to love doing business with both of them. I don't know if I'm experiencing really good juice for the first time but FSUSA's 18mg hits me harder than my 24-30mg stuff from elsewhere. I get fuzzy headed off it so far, which coming from a former ruthless smoker is pretty shocking. Great flavor and clarity though, love their stuff.

You might want to get some zero or really low nic level stuff just in case, nothing sucks more than having to moderate your vaping due to nic OD

Vapefests are just people getting together to talk about vaping,test devices, try different juices and being with others that vape. Our last meet there was about 50 people there. Good turn out and a lot of fun. Also a few suppliers were there. Vaporbomb was handing out a few freebies to try out. They also had a few drawings for gift certs, gift cards and tshirts. Probably will be in the same place. White Lake Inn. Im pretty sure your maybe about 2 hours away from there. You should try to make it. Been following Chelsea for about 5 years now. Celtic is cool. But Spurs??? Thats a different story. There is a big Chelsea supporters group in MI. We try to get together whenever there is a match on. Good times!
