What is the best strength of eLiquid to start vaping with as a new eSmoker?

[Kliamovich]

Hi, I'm sorta new to eSmoking and was wondering which strength of eliquid I should start vaping with. I was planning on starting with 16-18 mgs of nicotine eliquid but I read that may be too high for first time eSmokers, causing headaches and such. I only smoke about a half a pack of full flavored reds per day. Any help with making my decision so I can place an order soon would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

P.S. - I'm sorry if this question has already been addressed; I've searched the boards and wasn't able to find a definite enough answer.

You'll never "find a definite enough answer." This varies considerably from vaper to vaper. [I took a stab at it in Part 3 of my WWV Illustrated Guide.]

16-18mg might be good for you or 11-12mg. [For example, I was a 3/4 pack a day UltraLight smoker; 11-12mg is good for me.]

I suggest buying at least three small bottles: 11-12mg, 16-18mg, and 22-24mg. Start with the 16-18mg. If it feels right, stick with it (and mix the two other bottles to get about the same level). If it doesn't satisfy your nicotine craving, then try the 22-24mg. If the 16-18mg seems to strong, try the 11-12mg.

In these last two cases, it's not as easy to make good use of the other two bottles. Possible, but it would entail buying some 0mg or 36mg juice in the same flavor and doing some higher level math.
