I was a PAD Camel Filters smoker. I started vaping at 24mg a little over two weeks ago. A couple of days in, I started alternating between 24 and 18mg. At the end of the first week I dropped the 24 altogether and started alternating 18 and 14. I'll probable stay there for awhile before dropping the 18mg.
2pk a day started with 36mg>24mg<36mg/24mg mix. Always nice to have a little bit of high nic available to push the urge back down. Fortunately when I do stray back to analogs, I find them less and less satisfying (also see what they do for my BP so cant smoke em if you dont buy em is my current mantra)
Do have to watch the 36mg as a long chain vape can make your leg twitch if you arent paying attention to how much you are vaping, but so far it's a good cure for that lingering urge.
Thought about straying to the snus, but see it as primarily a good substitute in unvapable situations as opposed to the missing link, plus I have enough trouble figuring out what flavor to vape not ready to start a new sample spree into the world of american vs swedish snus.

Pack and a half a-day Marlboro/LM Red 100's. Using 16-18 mg of nicotine and go through about 2 carts a day. Not quite sure if it'll stay two carts or go down to one when my cartomizers get here, but meh, doesn't bother me. I have noticed that I like to puff on the 510 alot more then I did when smoking analogs though, but I think that has to do alot with the flavor of juice I'm using. Gotta love Tennessee Cured from Johnsons Creek.
I was a PAD Marlboro Medium 100s smoker, and started vaping just thursday. Haven't had an analog since Friday, and seem to be doing good with a few flavors of 24mg strength so far. I seem to vape quite a bit throughout the day, and when I sit around and do it a bit too much, I have noticed a bit of a headache, which I am attributing to a bit too much nicotine. However, I believe that for now I am at the right level.
i've been vaping on 18mg-24mg liquids for 4 months at 3.7v LR atties and am still getting that ex-smokers lack of nicotine digestive constipation syndrome. dunno about the others, but i seem to be not getting enough nic in my body hehe. no regrets though, end of the day, i still got to quit, and colon cleansers are helping me out on my predicament really well.
Used to smoke 1 pack and a half marlboro red a day....
Started smoking 18mg, then switched to 24mg to try it out... and frankly don't see much difference between the two doses....
So now i think i'm gonna stick to 18mg...

I haven't got started yet,so this thread has been helpful to me.I have been a big time cig smoker for a lot of years.I am down to 10-15 cigs a day from 2 packs a day and will try to get by with the 24mg to start with.
Might I ask you guys that vape heavy,how long 30ml last you?I think I remember a couple of you folks mentioning 5-6ml a day?That would make a 30ml container last 5-6 days.Is that typical of most folks?Well,I mean everyone is different,but is that average?No offense intended,just need to know how much juice to order initially.
Thanks.
Looks like we have some fellow members from the PI!Good to see ya!

I was a Pad smoker and I originally ordered 16/18mg juice and it did absolutely nothing for me, I was vaping like a madman. I got 24mg and it's perfect, I've even started vaping less.
As for juice I'd say start with smaller bottles until you find something you enjoy, you don't want to be stuck with a big bottle of something you hate. I've found a 10ml bottle lasts me several days if I vary what juice I'm vaping.

I make mine at 14mg but I chain vape all day and have a little nic buzz going for most of it lol.
I'm new to vaping too, so after lurking/learning on EFC awhile, got myself some 48mg and the doublers from Tasty Vapors. They have a chart that tells you how much doubler to add to reach desired nicotine level. I mixed Atomic Cinnacide to 24mg and it's great for me,
I was smoking about a PAD of generic red 100's. The nice thing is that I can adjust the level as the need arises, without waiting for the next shipment. 
Now a question for the more experienced one's out there; I ordered both the the juices and the doublers @ 80%pg/20%vg; is that a good percentage for flavor, TH and vapor ?

I started with 22mg.
Then dropped to 18mg and discovered it was not enough.
Settled on 24mg.
Seem to get the right nic fix from 24mg.

Currently somewhere between 8-10 mg/ml. I measure with a syringe roughly eyeballing it. Target nic was 9 mg/ml. Started with 22-24 mg/ml back in January when I got my first e-cig.
I used to measure very carefully with graduated cylinders but since I have gradually dropped in nic level; I don't care as much about absolute accuracy. I mixed my latest batch for a target of 7 mg/ml so I give that a +/- 1 mg/ml. Still have a few weeks before I run out of the 9 mg/ml stuff.
Not sure how low I can go my batches last about a month so I guess I am reducing it very gradually. But I may hit a floor that is unacceptable. But i will find out when I get there. I use alot of menthol crystals in my mix so maybe that helps as far as throat hit goes.
Funny thing is when I bought my plain nic for mixing I calculated a nearly 2 year supply for 2 people in my house using 22 mg/ml. With this reduction in nic that supply is well over 2 years.

24mg menthol with my morning coffee. Dropping to 12 or 18 on a PT during the day.
I started with 24 mg, but recently have dropped to 16-18 mg. For some odd reason, 24mg started to get harsh on me, depending on the flavor. I think 18 mg produces a good enough throat hit for me and allows me to vape more often. Plus I started to get jittery feelings and inability to sit still kind of thing with the 24 mg. Nicotine can have that effect on you, increase your heart rate and such. I guess it affects everyone differently. Not sure how people can stand vaping 36 mg juices. Thats gotta be really strong.
