Been vaping exclusively for 8 weeks today. Started at 36mg, now down to 21mg. Was 1.5 pack a day Camels; 3 pack a day if I drink too much.
Keep at it. (Said as much for me as for you)

Well, i'm mixing up between 24 and 12, so i choose 18 on the poll.
Seems to work for me. The TH is alot better with 24tho

Congrats Ether! I gave up drinking first (actually had to go to rehab 6 months ago, but still clean and sober) and then analogs after that. Feel so much healthier now, just wish I would have made the changes years ago!
I was a 1 pack (2 packs if drinking, which I stopped also!
I smoked ultra lights when I was a smoker, and figured I could make do with 8 mg. Well, vaping never really "stuck" with me until I upped my nic level to 18 mg.
Started out on 18 mg - not enough.
Tried 24 mg, 30 mg and 36 mg.
30 and 36 mg was way too much for me, so now I'm fixed on 24 mg - this seems just right

I used to smoke about a pack a day of Marlboro Lights or Camel Lights and 18mg seems to work for me. I have tried 24mg and it makes me feel kinda sick if I vape it too much.
Last week I ran out of my 18mg waiting on shipments and found out just how much 6mg will NOT hold me over. Well... technically it did hold me over but only because I was vaping aaaaalllllll day. The few times I did put my PV down, I started craving an analog. It was awful and you should have seen me rip that package open with the REAL juice in it. It was interesting though; I had no problems when I quit smoking (probably because the first disposable I started with was 18mg) but this 6mg experience felt like I had just put the packs down that very day rather than well over 2 months ago.

Started off at 18 mg, was a little to much for me, everytime I vaped, I got lightheaded and even would get blurry vision. Kinda strange since I use to be a pack and a half a day smoker. I guess I was sensitive to the nicotine because im at 11 mg now and doing a ok.

24mg. I was a pack to pack and a half a day smoker for 30 years of brands like American Spirit, Native and Winston full flavor as well as an occasional pipe and cigar smoker. I have no idea why I started at 24mg but I did several weeks ago. I feel calmer now than ever. I have no intention any time soon to drop to 18mg or lower. Someday I hope to, but for now I will stick with 24mg. In reading some other posts, it seems to me that people need to go up one notch keep them off the analogs. Maybe that is why I never looked back. Just saying this might be the key people are looking for to be successful in kicking the analog habit.
I smoked 2 packs of lucky strike red, the 24mg done the trick for me, been smoke free for 2 years now
I bounce back and forth from 6mg to 11mg depending on where my juice comes from. I do have a few bottles of 12mg and 18mg left over. I will vape the 12mg stuff still but the 18mg stuff bothers my throat too much.
It's becoming routine to hit a DIY 24mg getting out of bed and switch to 6mg for my ADV, replaced caffeine as well as analogs entirely without a second thought. Sometimes I'll switch back to a 24 or 36 in the late evenings if I need to stay awake, I figure it's probably healthier than drink after drink of Red Bull/Monster/coffee. I've also gone for weeks without analogs or using 0mg juice and never had a craving, so I guess it's a matter of me just using the nicotine as a stimulant, nothing further.
Started vaping/ stopped smoking Aug 8 2013.
12 mg/ml does it for me. Started out with 24 and weaned myself down after 3 months to 18 mg/ml and finally after about 3 more months to the 12 I am at now, although this last jump has been hard to stay at. I am vaping a lot more now than I did in the beginning. Maybe after a few more months of this level I can get myself down to 6 mg/ml.
I have told my wife that I don't know if I'll ever quit altogether, maybe I'll just vape flavored 0 nicotine because I enjoy it!

it's not so much the level of nicotine it is the wta that keeps me off cigs-anything between 12mg and 24mg as long as it has wta.....
