What mg did eveyone start out at?

[Nightcall]

18mg, shortly after went to 24mg for a more bombastic throat hit, and that did the trick but it was too much nicotine. Went back down to 18mg and also 12mg.

I'm getting used to the 12mg, it seems to be the perfect amount of nic, but it's light on the throat hit unless I take really long inhales, so I might get 15mg as a middle ground. I found only two vendors who have that mg level:

Heather's
Vermillion River
Vapes Dudes has 16 mg

Been vaping for 26 days now. Started at 24mg wanting to stop smoking. I stopped the same day. I lasted a week on the 24mg but kept getting dizzy and didnt like the burning throat hit. ( and i was a 1 1/2 PAD smoker). went to the local shop here and got a bottle of 18 mg still didnt like the burning throat . Last week i went down to 12 mg I like it much more. I found i get WAY more vapor and my throat doesnt hurt, now granted i am vaping a little bit more juice because I NEED MY NICOTINE but i like it much more.

Started with 18mg. in 2011. After a month or two I jumped up to 24mg. for "more throat hit" and promptly found out that was too high. Serious anxiety attacks,insomnia, dizziness, etc. Dropped down to 12mg. and stayed there a month or so...then started gradually dropping down from there in small increments (by mixing strengths to get the levels I wanted). By the end of 2012 I was at 5mg. and now I am at 3.5mg. and perfectly happy. Good luck!

Started at 16mg, dropped down to 6mg in steps. Lost my ecig. Restarted at 20mg. Wanted to conserve battery so I switched to 50mg for a while and only took a few puffs at a time. (do not try this at home, I had quite the tolerance for it). Enjoyed all the different mg. With less mg I find that I just chain vape more and with higher I forget about it mostly. I probably have the same nicotine intake no matter what mg I choose. I don't notice a difference in my smoking habit when I go back to cigs after vaping at any certain mg.

24 mg using Blu for the first month. then 18 mg on tank e-liquid for 2 months, now in month 4 on 12 mg.

 

[N8ball88]

Started at 24mg, went to 18mg within about a month. Tried to go to 12mg, but can't feel it (it's like breathing), so I stick with 18mg. I was going back up to 24mg when drinking, but I have been doing well at 18mg now for that too.

18mg works well for me, and I don't plan on quitting or dropping down anytime soon.

I started with 24 mg but after several sleepless nights and all the coughing from the to strong throat hit I switched to 18mg then to 12mg. I'm happy with 12, I can chain vape it all day long and not feel like I have ADHD.

 

[CannonLaw]

Started at 6mg but now I make my own at 10mg.

 

[Jason Tucher]

started on 24mg ended up cutting it down with vg a week later 12mg is my normal but sometimes I like 6. I also have a few zero's that use from time to time.

 

[phantom552]

I started with both 16 and 18, mainly because of my flavor choices. Working pretty well so far!

 

[Rhyknow]

18 mg seems to be the sweet spot for me right now. The 12 seems to weak for me personally.

 

[Katch]

18> 12> 6...6-7ml/day?

 

[BlackChad]

24ml to start. went to 18, then im at 12 right now. switching from cigarettes i wanted more throat hit but yeah i definitely got weird dreams, insomnia, etc. i had no plans to step down from 18 but it was a killer when i went to RBAs. now if i want more throat hit i have citrus or menthol/mint juices.

 

[McRebuild]

Started out on the Hangsen range, RY4, the likes of any tobacco 18mg flavour. Soon moved on though to cocktails ( i like a bevvy) TW sex on the beach or a blue Hawaii pretty tough to beat during the summer!

 

[Micchi]

Started out at 18mg, but that just wasn't doing it for me. Still craved analogs. (I blame growing up on a tobacco farm, LOL.)

Switched up to 36mg, and that killed the cravings. Now I use mostly 24mg, with a hit of 36mg when the cravings start to hit me.

 

[chrischoi]

I started myself off at 6mg.

 

[Steakjuice]

As an occasional smoker, I started at 12mg, 50/50. My second sampler batch of stuff was all 6mg, 70/30 (the thinner mix). Whatever juice I order next will probably be 6mg, and I might even cut out the nic entirely since I don't really *need* it. I just like puffin' and making clouds.

 

[mcandlish]

I start at 24mg, and still vaping 24, I dont vape a lot though, only 1-2ml per day usually.

 

[ZentheAlien]

I started out with an e-cig starter kit (supposedly the "high" cartridges are 13-16mg) and while I was able to cut back on analogs it was a struggle sometimes, and I couldn't quit completely. So I moved up to the kind of vape with the refillable bottle. (I apologize for my newbie-ness.)
The e-liquid I bought with that was 12 mg. Bam! No urge to smoke cigarettes. I had quit without even trying, it seemed! After a day or two I found I did want a cigarette from time to time....so I'm waiting for 18 mg juice in the mail. It's been 5 days, and I just don't want to fall back into temptation ever again.
