When I was a smoker I only smoked Newports, I was very picky about the cigarettes I smoked. When I started vaping 2 years ago. I vaped at 36mg and only menthol juice, that went on for about 6 months. As I started vaping fruity flavors the high nic seem to alter the fruit flavors so I went down to 24mg. Again, after a few months I lowered the nic once more to 12mg. To shorten this thread I went all the way down to 0mg, but I wasn't satisfied with the throat hit, so I slowly climbed back up nic to where I am now at 18mg. I wanted to be through in my experimenting and truly find what I liked the best and personally 12-18mg is my happy place.

I started with Camel Turkish Silvers, then after bumming some Kools from my roommates I switched to Turkish Jades until they were discontinued. Did Camel Menthols for a while, then they brought out the Camel Frosts. Smoked those until they were discontinued and went back to Camel Menthols. Occasionally I'd get a pack of Turkish Silvers to mix it up since I didn't care for Camel Lights (or "Blues" if you will). Half pack a day mostly, obviously more if I was drinking with the guys.

I started vaping with a 16mg menthol and a 24mg vanilla, switching to the higher nic if I had a craving that the 16 couldn't shake. Now I'm on 18mg exclusively. I plan on dropping it off with time.

I used to smoke American Spirit... "Ultra Lights" or "Yellow and White" or, more recently "Bright Tangerine Orange". About 1 to 1.5 packs a day. I started vaping at 24 but except for a few of my morning tobacco flavors, have converted down to 18. The first morning cig was the hardest to get over and there are still a few packs of smokes left in the freezer, so the higher nic and the tobacco flavors get me going in the mornings with no problems.
 
I started on Lucky Strikes back in 1984. No filters. Then I switched to Camel Regulars, also no filters. Then I started smoking cigars at work (I'm a musician), and "cut back" to Camel Filters during the day.:laugh:

Eventually, the cigars became an all-day thing. I inhaled the smoke, by the way, always enjoyed it. For the last few years, I bought lots of Natural Spirits in the sky-blue pack for times when I wanted some nicotine, but didn't have time to enjoy at least 1/2 a cigar.

I also got into pipes for while about 15 years ago, and again last year. Inhaled the smoke from those, too. :ohmy:

Long story (slightly) less so, I got the highest concentration of nicotine I could get with my starter pack, 24mg, and I'm sticking with it, as it does the trick. I get to enjoy my beloved nicotine in a much safer manner than when I smoked it.

Although, I probably will snag a pack of Gauloises the next time I'm in Europe, and would be happy to smoke another real Cohiba, any day. ;)
