I didn't want to sell myself short when quitting analogs and went with 24mg. Seems to be way too much and going down to 12mg for everything in the future. What did everyone else start with? BTW have not had an anolog since I switched 28 days ago.

I started at 6mg, but it wasn't enough. I went up to 18mg and quit smoking. Then I thought I'd drop down to 12mg two weeks later, but found out that I needed 18mg, so I'm mostly at 18mg. Currently I'm vaping at 16mg, but that's just because this flavor wasn't available in 18mg.
started out at 24mg im down to 12mg now, when you lower nic strength the strong throat hit associated with a higher nic
content will come back in time. Dont get discouraged its like switching to a light cig after smoking full strength haha

30mg and 24mg which was too much within days. I went that high because i tried a high nic disposable White Cloud Fling X Strength and it was instant satisfaction. It got me off the smokes and i was happy.
Now i use mostly 16mg 50PG/50VG depending on juice. Some juice is just as satisfying with less nic depending on PG/VG and flavor. I normally don't go higher than 18mg now and im quite happy.

Congrats! Welcome to ECF! I had the exact same ? but I also went up to 24mg to cut out the cravings. First I went to Nicotine, Tar, and CO Content of Regular Cigarette Brands to see how much nic. my usual full flavor was giving me. then I'd seen some of the UK founding members broadcasts online and realized the trends in the USA lean to 12mg; whereas the UK trends are higher. that intrigued me. I bought some 12mg & mostly 12mg -same flavors. If I ever felt I was getting not enough or too much I simply mixed them. (amateur, I know, but it worked). At first I was really trying to duplicate the taste of my analogues. You'll see that its common for folks to vape thier heads off the first few days!
You're already one month in so you've gotten through the hardest part 
Cheers! at about that time I'd thrown out everything related to tobaccy; ashtrays; etc and my sense of smell was starting to come back. Very individualized. Let us know how you are doing. imho- I would do whatever it takes to satisfy the cravings!

Have not tried less than 18 but am hoping for the best. Will NOT go back to analogs.

The rule of thumb I've been told is 12mg+ for a general smoker, 18mg+ for heavier and so forth. Of course it is all down to your own preference. I suggest getting a nice neutral 0mg you like and mixing it with some of the other nicotine levels if you cannot find a standard level that works for you.
started at 38MG....am down to 18MG in 6 weeks and a few days...new orders will be at 12MGt. I do switch up starting with higher MG in the mornings and during bad cravings and moving lower as the day progresses...I only have one partial bottle of 24MG left in the house so I am trying to conserve it. I also will dilute higher MG juice for later evening use
Started at 12mg now at 0mg was a pack a day Marlboro reds smoker one year ago next Saturday
I came off of little cigars and Backwoods. The nic content is FAR higher than cigs and probably harder to get exact published amounts.
Thanks for the replies, Think this is gonna work for me. 30 years of analogs and don't miss them a bit.
I smoked full flavor analolgs so I started at 18mg but discovered that I like to vape as much as I liked to smoke and it was making me dizzy. I DIY my own ejuice so I took it down to 16mg and that's worked for me very well. Now for my fruit flavors that I really get to vaping I take it down even further like to 12mg or 10mg.
Started at 12 mg/ml, which was too low. Shifted to 18 mg/ml for two months and returned to 12 recently.
Well no wonder, I smoked ultra lights for the past 5 years or so. makes since I'm getting dizzy on 24mg.
I think you'd be fine on 12mg, especially as it is so easy to vape much much more than smoking.
I started at 34mg then 2 weeks later went to 24 and now I'm down to 18 after a month and a half from switching
Started with a couple bottles of 24 and a couple of 36. The 36 was too much. I soon after got a sampler in 18 and that was too low.
I'm still at 24 for off-the-shelf type clearos but drop to 18 or 12 in the rebuildables. I even have a couple bottles at 10 in the back of a cabinet somewhere. I've been off cigarettes completely for only about 4 months this go around. Used to smoke a pack a day of Marlboro ultralites. If I went back to smoking this time, cigarettes wouldn't kill me before my wife did lol.
