smoked a pack to a pack and a half per day of marlboro light 100s for years, then for a number of years smoked 1 1/2 to 2 packs a day (with most often being 2) of marlboro light 100s and then, when price went up to over $20 a carton, a couple of generic, locally produced brands (Echo light 100s and Vortex light 100s). Have been smoking since 1984.

With vaping, I use anywhere from 16mg to 36mg, depending on the moment, how tired I am (I cant do stronger strengths when overly tired, it causes pains in chest and head), how much I'm chain-vaping, etc. On average I'm using a 15mls a week, but that varies too because I still smoke a few analogs each day, and some days I smoke more than I should.

The question I have is how many drags are you taking throughout the day?

I suck on my 901, 510 all day long. I will never misplace my PV's since I'm always using them.

Are you just vaping for a few minutes and then you put your E-Cig down or are you sucking on it nonstop like I do. I tried the 36 mg's and it is too strong for me. I could use 36 MG's if you put a gun to my head :D, but would rather use the lower stuff.

Yes...I crazy glued a cart to my lip,and just let it hang there! 8-o j/k

My progression - Camel, Benson & Hedges Menthol, Benson & Hedges Non-Menthol, Benson & Hedges Non-Menthol Light, Virginia Slims 100s Ultralight (price of B&H went up, so I switched), Marlboro 100 Ultralight (price of VS went up, so I switched), Vapor 1000.

Smoked for 31 years starting out with the brutes and working my way down, but many years, including recently, I used four packs a day and sometimes five (in the 90s).

I'm vaping 24 and 36 mg. This morning I loaded up the 36 and decided to see if I could either get a buzz from it or have other symptoms. It took an hour of chugging and one battery change, and I never did get a buzz, but I got REALLY nauseated. So much for that. I'll never reach that point in casual use, I see.

A point to consider, however, is that your nicotine intake with e-cigs is both much lower and much slower to peak than with cigarettes. Thus you might consider going with higher than your first estimation based on what you've smoked. I'm going to cut down the 36 because the 24 works just as well for me.

There's a alternate argument that one should start low and then tweak the mix upward to decide what the minimum daily demand is going to be. I think that's fine, too.

By the way, I'm using 3 x cartridges for a DSE-801 per day. That's 1.1 ml x 36 mg per cartridge. If I was REALLY ingesting anywhere near that amount, I think I'd be one very sick puppy - or going to meet my maker, e-cigarette in hand. :)
