What cigs did you smoke/ what mg juice do you vape instead?

[Hippieangst]

In my last years as an analog user, I bounced between American Spirit Full Flavor Organic and American Spirit medium shag Roll Your Own.

In my new vaping days, I've settled on a routine with 24 mg in the morning, 12 mg during the day, and 6 mg at night.

Today marks 5 weeks with no cigs!!!

I was smoking about 8-12 cigs a day. American Spirit Blue (regular)
I was planning on tapering off smoking using my ecig. I thought it would take me months.
I literally quit overnight.

I didn't have a clue what I was doing when I ordered my stuff, so I bought a bunch of flavors ranging from 6mg up to 24mg.
I found 18 was too strong.
10 was a little weak unless I was chain vaping.
So I was mixing stuff to get me around 14mg for the first week....it was still pretty hard for the first couple days.
After the first week, I find 10-12mg is perfect.

Probably smoked 2 plus packs a day , as we made our own from smoker friendly tobacco mild brand. And when you make your own, well you just really dont count how many you smoke! Now I vape mostly on HHV Serendipity at 6mg. And it is my favorite. Altho I have ordered others from Alice in Vapeland and Highbrow, High Desert. My husband and I are new to vaping. he is at 2 plus months, I am at a month plus. I am enjoying looking for new flavors, especially organic ones.

n00b here...when im at home ill switch to 6mg and puff on it constantly but at work or out and about ill puff 18...now 12 does me good but i dont have any till i go to my local vape shop tmrw...question...me alternating like this would eventually bring me down or because i smoke the 6mg more does it even out?

Marlboro Lights, pack a day plus a few. I found that I need 18mg to 24 mg in the morning but that was too strong for all day vaping, so I vape mostly 12 mg or a mix to about 15mg during the day.

Favorite juices so far:

Monkey Business (Panama Vapor) with strawberry extract
Caffe Mocha (V4L)
Peach (myfeedomsmokes)
Orange Cream (myfreedomsmokes)

I mix two myself so far, one 15mg Watermelon tobacco combo mixing USA (Panama Vapor) and Watermelon extract. My morning brew is 33% Dunahall 24mg (V4L), 17% or so Coconut Almond 12mg (V4L) and 50% Caffe Mocha 12mg. It's a beast, love it. I'm guessing I will eventually make all my own liquid but I haven't gotten that far yet.

Was 2 PAD Pall Mall Menthol White smoked when I started vaping. Very mellow compared to what I started with and smoked into my mid-20s, mostly Newport Kings.

Fave Juices To Date
Thug Juice (MBV) 20/80 24mg
Afternoon Delight (MBV) 20/80 24mg

Haven't found any tobacco as of yet but I got a couple coming from HHV to try.

I was puff'n down 1+ packs of Camel #9s a day.

I am curently at 6mg, when I go lower I vape more so 6 is my magic vape #.

 

[Knittinglady]

1-1.5 packs a day of Virginia Slim Menthol. Vaping my menthol blend at 18 mg. Happy vaper here!

 

[BigBadKahuna]

Marlboro Menthol Lights, 1 pack a day. Started at 18mg, then moved down to 12mg. Drip at 6mg.

Hello! New here!
Anyway, smoked for 25 years and for most of that time it was full flavored menthols, probably 1 to 1 1/2 packs a day. Newport, Marlboro menthol, camel menthol, L&M menthol, etc. Started vaping in May of this year at 18mg nic and 65%/35% pg/vg. I've found that it's been a pretty good blend for me but I have a couple of 12mg nic that are good as well. I initially thought that I would only want menthol flavored juice but I was SO wrong. I used that for about a day before switching to fruity flavors and that's all I use now. I've tried a couple other things, buttered popcorn, cappuccino, maple tobacco, but wasn't for me. Soon I intend to step down to the 12mg then hopefully lower little by little. But for now 18mg with 65%/35% is perfect for me

I smoked Winston regulars for way to many years. About a pack a day. Some days more. Did this for about 45 years.

I tried the tobacco juices with a 3.7 ego battery and that was terrible. So I got a VV mod and a carto tank and that was awesome. Now I use a VAMO with a ProTank. Awesome vapor and taste. I have tried alot of different tanks, clearomizers, etc;. The VAMO and ProTank are the best. Easy to use and set up, and last a very long time. I started using 24 mg Nic, but that was way to much, so I'm now at 18mg for some juices and 16mg for other juices. I have just started making my own juice now, and I'm really loving it. Making your own juice allows you to adjust the flavor to Exactly what you like. lol My wife says my lab looks like a crack lab hahaha.. But it is alot cheaper to make your own juice in the long run, and rebuilding the ProTank coils really brings the cost down to almost nothing.

I was smoking 1 to 1 1/2 packs of Kool filter kings for the past 15 years. Started vaping the 13th of this month, haven't had a stoge since.. Started with LIQ brand menthol 18 mg and hated the taste, bought some menthol 12 mg from a local shop (The Vape Shack 808) on friday, the taste is better but has no tobacco flavoring whatsoever, the nicotine level seems fine. Ordered some nport 16mg online, hoping it has some tobacco taste to go along with the menthol.

Marb lights 2 PAD from age 18 till mid 30s. Stopped smoking till age 35 then started back with Winston lights 1+ PAD. Started vaping a few weeks ago at 36mg morning, 24 evening. Stopped the stinkies totally just a week ago and dropped to 24-18mg in a couple of days. Now at 18mg in the morning and 12mg in evenings; tend to chain vape more in the evening. Currently have some 6mg coming and going to move to 12mg morning, and 6mg evening. Vaping is AWESOME! Thanks to all who made it possible and for the encouragement too!! Feeling good, don't miss the stinkies AT ALL! YAY!

i rolled my own cigs with a machine so they had filters. used pipe tobacco. started vaping with ego batt and ce4 tanks and 24mg juice. i noticed by the end of day i would fell flush and hot in the face and looked a little red necked. my blood pressure was up like 170/95. only happened at the end of day from vaping to much. it was time to start backin down on the mg. i went down to 12mg. that helped a lot but still sometimes i had a reaction. just not as bad. now im doin 6mg and no problems. i did smoke 2.5 packs a day of analogs. i diy my own ejuice now and using 5mg juice. over time i plan to go even lower on the mg cause im vapin dual coil dripping attys and going thru maybe 8ml of juice a day.

i just wanted to add im not a healthy person. 50y old, obesity, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure. so i cant blame vaping on the problem, but it did add to the bp going higher with to many mg!

smoked 1/2 a pad of either newports or parliament menthol, started at 18mg and was too much for me. now at 12mg during the day, and either 6,3,0 for night time. I am also constantly vaping, prob a puff every couple of minutes, so the lighter levels do the trick for me and I don't end up getting too buzzed.

 

[hvac999]

I smoked PAD Newport Red 100s and I vape 24mg of nic.

 

[Ap1910]

i was a Marlboro Menthol light smoker for 8 years about pack a day.And now using 12mg juices

 

[DoloresB]

Many thanks to OP for starting this thread. Learning a lot from it.

Pall Mall Menthol. Down for 1 pad to 10-12 per day. Tried "High" cartridges for my e-Health cig, and it's not enough to keep me off analogs.

When I get my new kit, I will try 18-24 mg. to see if it helps with the cravings.

 

[SlowDripOblivion]

I have been an off-and-on smoker (PAD in the teens/a pack every 3-4 days as an adult) for about close to half of my entire life. So about 17 years. I have gone through many a brand of cigarettes with the majority of my time spent smoking Marb Menthol Lights and Camel Crushes. Also had a period where Turkish Silver was my go-to choice of cigarette. I started out with 18mg of nicotine and am currently at 3/6mg with the motive to move to 0mg in a month or so or, at the very least, starting the transition to 0mg.

 

[FloydianSlip]

I used to smoke Pall Mall black menthols (about half pack a day) and now vape 12mg juice instead.
