Whats your Nicotine Dosage?

[MasterBlaster]

Wondering what amount of Nicotine you guys and gals get in your juices. Being new to this lifestyle I wasnt sure what I should go with so for now I get either 18mg or 24mg. I notice that the 24 gets me pretty buzzy and makes me feel like a drank an espresso but the 18mg seems to be a nice neutral zone for me. I may drop down to 16mg and perhaps go lower from there. Not sure what I should I do. Stay where I am or slowly lower the dosage. What do you guys do? Whats your current dosage and do you stay steady at that or lower your intake over time?

I currently vap at 18mg started at 24mg about 2 months ago.My next batch of juice I will be bringing it down to 12mg,Want to see how low I can go.
You Staying at 18mg seems fine as it is not to high or too low.I really don't see why anyone should stay at 24mg and higher except right after coming off analogs.18mg is middle ground.

6-10 mg because anything over 10 makes my nose burn.

I first started with a 10mg in late '09 but could never ever get full satisfaction from it. The low nic plus the crappy e-cig with old school cartridges, unreliable atties, and unreliable batteries all led to a big SUCK.

24mg worked for me for almost a year now, but I've recently moved to 18mg and that seems fine. No withdrawal symptoms or heavier cravings or anything like that. I've never had a buzz from e-cigs, no matter what the nic level, but I did get nausea a couple times from 24mg which I still sometimes feel creeping up from 18mg.

 

[Absintheur]

Started at 18, been at 11 during the day and drop to 6 at night for about 8 months now.

 

[Faylool]

I go back and forth between 24mg and 36mg. I chewed Nicorette 10 years and I like nicotine. I mean I'm not trying to eliminate it. It never gets to wanting more and more. When I smoked for years it stayed around a pack a day. Sure wish I could say that about booze! I had to quit that entirely. If I got THAT way about nicotine I'd definitely work on slowly but surely eliminating it.

 

[Strigoi]

I started with 24mg and currently use 12mg or less.

 

[PhreakySTS9]

Started at 24, now I vape between 6 - 12mg at max. 6-8 is a nice MG for me to just kick back and chill.

 

[The Ocelot]

I started at 12mgs, since I didn't know anything about nic levels and it looked like it was in the middle. I smoked 1.5 PAD of Marlboro Menthols, so now I know I started low, but I've stayed about that range. I have liquids from 8 to 18 mgs, but I tend to mix them together.

 

[Syav]

24mg suits me best. At 18mg I tend to chain vape, which is not good for me because then it gets heavy on my chest.

 

[noi_max]

I chain vape a 12mg... use a 24 in a separate tank for first thing in the morning, or while I'm out having a few drinks.
The 24 has a nasty throat hit. The 12 is practically like air for the most part... but I take in huge draws and blow out a big plume of vapor.. so that satisfies that aspect of it. The 24 I can hardly drag on at all. Just puff and inhale very little.

 

[Stymey]

I swap back and forth between 20 and 24. I use 24 first thing in the morning and 20 the rest of the day usually.

 

[hrlw817]

I started with 16mg's about a year ago. About 3 months ago, I went down to 8mg's. I don't have any more cravings at 8mg then I did with 16mg's. My goal within the next year is to get down to 0mg.

 

[lindsayfox]

10 mg that is all for me.sometimes Due to stress it goes up to 15 mg,it works as a stress buster.

 

[AutumnWolf]

Happy 0-nic vaper for over 16 months! I started out at 8-12mg for the first 10 days but found myself at work one day with nothing but a sample of 0-nic which I smoked all day. It was peppermint so it had plenty of throat hit for me...after I was able to do 0-nic for a whole 24 hours, I figured why go back? So I ordered a bunch of 0-nic and never looked back!

 

[reikoshea]

6mg most of the day, and then 11mg every now and then.

Previously pack a day for 8 years.

 

[boog]

started at 24, vaped that for almost a year.. now I use 20 or sometimes 18... can't really tell much difference between 18 and 20 tbqh

 

[Robino1]

Started (and still at) 18 and 24 mg. My latest purchase is 12 and 15-16 mg. The next order will be all 12mg. I plan on slowly taking the level down to about 3mg and see how that goes. Time will tell. I do plan on having some higher nic on hand just in case it is needed. I have never gotten the nic buzz nor have been nic sick. Once in a while I get slightly nauseous but then I get a bite to eat and some water and it goes away really quickly. It is usually because I haven't eaten anything, vaping tastes much better than food. plus NO calories!

 

[erictho]

my first order of liquid was 18mg. it was fine to start but i couldn't sit there for long. dropped to 16 mg on my second order and stuck with that, even though sometimes i would vape myself into an uncomfortable place.
currently sitting at 12mg. sometimes i feel like i need to vape longer than i'm able to in order to reach satiation, but i'm not really willing to go back to 16mg and just shrug it off. if the vapor production is good i'm able to get over it without much frustration, which is really nice.

 

[zapped]

24mg down from 36
