I was smoking 2 packs of Winston 100's daily, 3 while drinking beer. I'm 6', 220lbs. When I started vaping, I was using 18 & 24 mg. 24 sometimes made me queasy if I hit it too hard.
18 is a HIGH NIC CONTENT liquid. After 2 months, I'm down using 12 and am going lower on my next order.
If you were just wanting a pastime, use 0 mg. Why start the nic habit? If you insist on nicotine for dietary purposes(why not just drink lots of green tea?) you could mix with pure VG as mentioned above.
For Green Tea, Stash is ok on a budget, but Good Earth Super Green Tea with Sencha and Matcha is a delicious tea, made with premium Japanese Sencha and Matcha. It's strong, so don't over-steep it or it'll be bitter. High in anti-oxidants, prevents cancer, GOOD STUFF and very tasty with the orange in it. Green tea and caffeine are good to help with dieting also. Use as little sugar as you can get away with, or use stevia. Drink 3-6 cups a day. When weather is warm, brew the tea and pour it over ice. Tea is highly reactive, so to get the anti-oxidant effect, you have to drink it shortly after brewing - it can't sit in the fridge or it oxidizes to nothingness.(does that tell you anything about the real worth of canned and bottled teas???
) Making and enjoying tea is a pastime similar to vaping (prepping & fiddling before enjoying).
Also, keep company with active, happy people who don't smoke !
Take care of yourself.

I find that vaping sweets makes me want to eat sweets. Just my 
-- find some LOW nic savory tobacco flavors you enjoy! Hope you're feeling less green!
-- find some LOW nic savory tobacco flavors you enjoy! Hope you're feeling less green!Every so often my husband has me taste his juice (!!). It's at 24mg, as opposed to my 12. I get pretty nauseated from it.
To be fair though, I notice everyone asking why the OP went to vaping after not smoking for 4 years. I see it as him not going BACK to smoking after quitting! I have gone through the quit/start cycles of smoking, long after the nicotine addiction should have been over. One of my bosses went back to SMOKING after 18 years of not smoking. She's recently discovered vaping though, although I think she's doing both. I've seen alcoholics relapse after YEARS of not drinking.
I know for a fact that I'd probably be on anti-anxiety medications if it wasn't for vaping. My first quit experience resulted in anxiety attacks that continued for months and months, until I started smoking again. When I was "cutting back" on smoking, I was getting anxiety attacks. And when I'd be too long without a smoke? Yup, you got it, anxiety attacks.
Sorry for getting off the OPs topic...

i havent gotten sick but there were times when i used a high dose nicotine and it did not satisfy the craving, probably a bad batch.
thanks guys.. and gals
I just ordered all new juice in 6mg, right now I'm just little puffs now and then and not getting nearly as sick
and really I had no cravings for cigs ever since I quit years ago
I just thought this could be a cool hobby and I still think it is
bunch of cool people here!

Well that is if your 6mg is still making you sick I might get some 0 of the same flavors. You can mix them together and get a low nic strength, or switch to 0 if it starts getting to you. If you really want nic I see no problem with that at all. Some that are new ex smokers that went straight to vaping as a switch or supplement instead of smoking do have a problem with people that never smoked or have been off smokes for quite a while. All tho I still do not get that line of thinking at all. Hell I quit vaping for about 3 months and came back to it. Not because I was having cravings or went back to smokeing, but just because I wanted to. Vaping is fun. I see no problem with adults consuming nicotine in a safe way if they want to.
If you like the flavors of the liqids you've already bought, but they are too strong in the nicotine, you could order more from them in the sme flavors, but with 0 nic. If you mix the 18 with varying amounts of the 0, you can get pretty accurate lowered nic levels (12, 8, 6, etc)--it just takes a little math to figure out how much 0 nic to add to the 18 to get it down to a specific level.
And buy using flavored 0 nic juice to cut the 18, you won't lose any flavor, or waste the juice you've already bought.
But my main question is WHY would you start vaping after being off cigs for 4 years--even if you gained a little weight? Wouldn't the money be better invested in maybe consulting a nutritionist, or getting a gym membership? Just sayin'...

Yeah I'm with you, I like doing it and I like the nictotine buzz and the resulting appetite suppression
It's a fun and tasty hobby, and you get to meet cool people like you got here
thanks again
I can only speak for some experience and having seen friends quit smoking. Most people will gain weight when quiting. It's the hand to mouth addiction. They replace smokes with food. So if you can replace the snaking with vaping that corrects the overeating problem. Not all cases of weight gain have to do with being lazy or not knowing how to eat well. I personally ask and never assume that they don't exorcize or eat right. After all most all people (I would say 98%) know what they should and should not eat. A diettision can specialize your diet of give you a meal plan so you can have someone reinforce what you already know. Many people use PV's a a deiting tool.
