Which mg nicotine strength should I get?

[feignfeign]

-I smoke about 6 cigarettes per day
-I smoke a lighter blend; Camel Turkish Gold
-I want my vape sessions to be about 10 minutes
-I have a medium to large volume of vapor, straight to lung type of mod; Provari Mini 2.5

What strength of nicotine should I try first?

I was about a 10 cig-a-day smoker. I started at 6 mg, then dropped to 3 for my sub-ohm tanks.

For e-liquid, the typical nicotine recommendations are generally determined by how much you smoked, and are as follows:

1/2 pack per day or less = 6 mg nicotine
1 ppd = 12 mg
1 1/2 ppd = 18 mg
2 ppd = 24 mg​

* If you will be "sub-ohming", cut the nic concentration by half. (You won't be sub-ohming with a Provari 2.5; it doesn't have the power to fire sub-ohm coils)

My recommendation would be to try both 3mg and 6mg. If the 3mg doesn't stop nic cravings, go with the 6mg. If the 6mg gives too much throat hit (harshness), go with the 3 mg.

I would say try both 6 and 3mg.

Honestly, if you're sub ohm tanking, I've found 10-15min sessions are adequate at 3mg.

I humbly suggest an RDA. Maybe a Tsunami 24? Believe me, 3mg is plenty on that little beastie.

Not sure what sub ohm tank is. I am guessing its a type of tank that creates a lot more vapors when paired with the rightly powered mod?

Yes, I dont think the mini 2.5 is that powerful from what I have read. And I bought a aspire nautilus tank which I also don't think is a sub ohm tank

Sub ohm is below 1 ohm and you are correct,the Nautilus is not sub ohm.I quit smoking using a Nautilus and 18mg.I smoked more than you,i would suggest start at 12mg.My wife is now using the Nautilus at 12mg and she smoked around the same as you.

 

[mongo74]

A sub ohm tank is one that uses coils that have a resistance lower than 1 ohm.

Perfect examples are: Smok TFV8, Uwell Crown, Sense Herakles Plus, Aspire Cleito...etc. Their inherently lower resistance uses higher current supplying batteries to vaporize your juice very rapidly (due to the low electrical resitance of the coil) and create massive clouds. You're a member of the perfect website, and there are members far more knowledgable than myself that can point you in the right direction.

Sub-ohm coils are coils whose resistance (ohm) is below 1.0 ohm. These coils require more power, but deliver more vapor.

The Nautilus uses 1.8 ohm coils, so is not considered a sub-ohm tank. The Provari 2.5 can not fire a coil lower than 0.8 ohm.

I am well familiar with the Provari and Nautilus. I have owned four Provari's over the last few years and they still work as well as when new. The Provari 2.5 and Aspire Nautilus tank is a GREAT beginner's setup. Congrats on choosing a great setup right out of the gate.

Awesome! glad to hear that my setup is good. And thanks for the links

Imo the main objective is to quit cigarettes , period, why not start with a nic strength that will do just that. With your set up, I would try 18mg first and see what happens. If your successful, vape that for a while , then contemplate lowering . Nicotine is not that bad of a thing when vaping it, so it shouldn't something you should be worrying about at first. Maybe buy a small bottle of 12 and 18 at first

Since you are a light smoker I would say try a few different strengths and remember you can mix them to make it stronger if you need. I was at 18-24MG after a PAD Marlboro Red habit and used 6 with my first MOD at 1.8Ω coils keeping 18 around for those times I needed a bit more.

...-I want my vape sessions to be about 10 minutes....What strength of nicotine should I try first?

Excellent thought, same as I had, and started at 12 to curb the craving.

...I bought a aspire nautilus tank which I also don't think is a sub ohm tank

2014 (I believe) tank, a bit long in the tooth, but still sold. Great 1st tank choice.

Sub-ohm coils are coils whose resistance (ohm) is below 1.0 ohm. These coils require more power, but deliver more vapor.

Also less battery life, quicker wallet drain, and higher ejuice consumption in a shorter period of time. That's why you see many vaping at 3mg. For argument sake, would you prefer vaping a 3mg for 10 minutes, or a 6mg for 5 minutes? To each, his own. There's no wrong way, just what works for you.

...I would say try a few different strengths and remember you can mix them to make it stronger if you need...

YES!! You can 2 liquids (doesn't matter if they're the same or not) at different strengths to change the nic level. Equal amounts of a 6 and a 12, gets you to 9. Or zero and a 12 gets you to 6. This way you can figure out what strength you need to get to your 10 minute goal.

In a Nautilus, 18 mg should make for an intense throat hit, and 24 might make you choke. 6 mg is mild, but still has a lot more bite than 0. I mostly used 12 when I started. Now I use 6 with low power and 1.5-3 with my RDA. I like vaping a bit higher but my body likes it low.

Puts my 4PAD into perspective nearly perfectly.

'Cept that last sentence.

50mg @ 80ish watts and all...
