I generally go with 36 mg in the am, 24 in the pm, and 18 in the evening. My "need to smoke" varies though and then the amounts may change about a bit PLUS I prefer 100% VG because of PG sensitivity. However, just to confuse things more, I've also had a 36 that is more like an 18, and a 36 that nearly knocks me flat, so there seems to be a bit of variation depending on vendor/ratio of VG to PG/ NET or tobacco absolute base/other ingredients and so on imo. Bottom line - if you get nauseous and get headaches, stop immediately till it passes then go with a lower mg.

i started at 12mg on KR8s. it was not satisfying. i moved to 18 on KR8s, it was okay. then i got a mod and the 18 was decent most of the time, but only certain juices gave me the TH that i crave. i finally moved to 24 for the jucies that had weak TH and it helped a little.

i now have more 24 than 18, but im trying to get back down to 18. my problem is the TH. i wish i could get TH off of juice lower than 24 or 18 because i really honestly dont need that much nic- i just want the TH. finally with my new RBA im getting excellent TH from 18mg (it feels stronger than my 24mg juice :) ), but of course im having problems with my RBA and cant get it to work consistently. my fallback is regular atties and they give me decent TH. but damn those RBAs are the wave of the future for me. if i could only get it to work consistantly..
 
I've only been vaping, oh look it's been a couple of months now already just about! I've stuck with 18mg the whole way. I've been running and smoking about all of my adult life and getting into my early 30s it was getting tough to handle the Newports I loved so much and I went to lights.

I figured 18mg was about the same and even though I was tempted to go with 24 to make sure I got enough nic I didn't want to get even more addicted than I already was. I don't plan on going up or down anytime soon. I'm addicted to nicotine and I don't care right now!

Thats exactly my issue. I dont need the Nic as much as I like to feel the TH but I've found that in a lot of cases as far as the juice is concerned that without the higher levels of nic that TH I desire just isnt strong enough. It seems however that whatever I vape between 16-24, that has MENTHOL in it, I get a satisfying TH regardless so maybe I can go down and stick with the 16mg but just make sure whatever juice I get is a good quality menthol with good flavor and vapor. I was a Marlboro Lights smoker on analogs but with vapor I really like anything with menthol. Yeah the 24 makes my heart to racey and I dont like that feeling. Can anyone recommend a good menthol or even fruity menthol that has has a nice TH with nic in the mid to lower teens? I hear that Juicy Vapors Ecto Chill is pretty good anyone ever try that? Or what about some good ones from HHV, AIVL or Ahlusion?

12mg all the way but I often lower it with 6mg flavorless VG juice. I find you can get the same throat hit as a stronger mg nicotine by using higher voltages. Higher voltages = more nicotine vaporized each hit = stronger TH with lower mg juice. But my favorite is 12mg juice. I couldn't be any happier. I started with 18 and was never happy, it always made me feel overly stimulated or sickly.

I started (almost a year ago) with 24 and 18. The 24 was too much for chain vaping, so I only used it when I would be hit with a strong desire for an analog. That worked really well for me. At this point I mostly use 11 and 16 and tend to switch back and forth all day between flavors and strengths. I don't really care if I lower it. :D

My personal favorite menthol ever is Ice Ice from Vape Dudes. It's a menthol/peppermint combo... very nice and cool with a good TH at 11 nicotine. They also have fruity menthol mixes (strawberry ice, lemon ice, etc.) but I've so stuck on ice ice that I haven't bothered trying the others yet. Some day. lol

I started out at 24 and recently dropped it to 18.....I am fine with the new level and have noticed that I feel better. I was feeling a little yucky sometimes by the end of the day (nauseated) and it seems to have cleared up. Although I did recently also drop the PG a little lower because I seemed to get a little dehydrated at times. Maybe a combination of both that made the difference.
