What mg should I start with?

[Monkey Arms]

I know, you get this question 50 times a day. Anyway...

I smoke a pack a day of Marlboro Ultra Light 100's.
I will be ordering the Vapor King, with the MBoro & Clove juice.
I'm 40 yrs old and have smoked for 20 years.

Also, I currently take 40mg of Benicar a day for Pre-High Blood Pressure.
140/85 Resting Heart rate 75 during the day.
I certainly don't want an elevated heart rate or HBP from the nicotine.

??? So what mg of liquid or cartridge would be equivalent to a pack of Marlboro Ultra Light 100s ???

Someone tell me I can do this.

Bein pretty new to the PV experience myself, I'm not sure about the equivalences, but I've noticed that I vape way more frequently than I smoked. I'm kind of hanging around the medium strength liquids and am liking it very much. vaping is going to be a little different than smoking, so as long as you can wrap your head around that, then you can totally do this! You've already made a huge step in ordering an e-cig, so you're on your way to being smoke free. We've got the faith in you!!!

Since you smoked Ultra Lights and only a pack a day, something around the 11 to 18mg range is what I'd recommend. But it really varies a lot.. I know some people who smoked reds and went right to 6mg, whereas I smoked Lights (but a lot of 'em) and use 36 to 48mg most of the time.

I read online that Marlboro Ultra Light 100's have 5mg of nicotine.
Does this translate to the E-Cig World? Do I use more or less to get my fix?

Thanks for the replies...

My blood pressure has went down a BUNCH, and I vape the high stuff 36Mg. I would say maybe start off at 24Mg.

I smoked ultra light Marboros, and very briefly used 18mg, then 11mg, and now do just zero with flavor. 18mg is all you need in my opinion at best.

I started at 24 mg. I used to smoke American Spirit Menthols. If you smoked light cigs then 12 to 18 mg is probably all you will need.

Order a few 24mg and a few lower.I used 24 to get off cigs.Then lowered it from there.

I agree with Key... order about 30 ml of 24, and 30 ml of 18, and maybe 30 ml of 16 or 11. You can always dial down the 24 by mixing it with the lower nic levels but you can't dial up the nicotine.

I agree with this, I also smoke ultra lights
Started at 18mg, not enough, so went to 24 to get me off it, which i did the minute my kit came in, and now i go from 18 on a normal day, and then 24 if i have a huge craving (stress) kids, wife, etc...
