Advice with strength

[mrmo]

Hi guys,

Got a question about the strength as I am new to vaping. I usually smoke around 7-8 cigarettes a day and they are 0.7 in nicotine.

Would someone be kind enough to let me know what strength and how much I should be vaping per day please?

Thanks!

Mo.

Hello and Mrmo

That is quite a difficult question to answer as nicotine from vaping is absorbed differently. In the beginning it's best to buy small bottles of juice until you see what flavours you prefer.

You don't really smoke a great deal so I would suggest you get some 18mg strength and some 12mg strength and see how you get on with those. 18mg is considered 'medium' strength

Have you got your e-cig kit yet?

Thanks for the advice guys,

Karma - Yep I already have my e-cig I have the CE4 Clearomizer and got a bottle of e-liquid Strawberry Flush (30 ml) which is 24mg. Clearly too strong by the look of things. So I guess I should go with 12mg.. its been 24 hours since I had a real ciggy and not been bothered as vaping is doing it for me! I thought I'd go against tobacco tasting ones to get used to not having the taste.

Been going well so far, I just want to make sure I'm not increasing my nicotine intake when I'd like to be reducing. Yep I don't really smoke a lot but I 'd like to knock the habit on the head. My wife actually suggested I try an e-cig as one of her colleagues is using them and has been reducing his smoking intake and close to quitting.

Looks like I'll hunt around for some milder nicotine based e-liquids. Do you guys have any suggestions on good websites to buy from?

Thanks everyone!

I used to smoke 7 - 10 cigs a day, I find 18mg just right if that helps, could always buy 12mg and 18mg of the same flavour and mix together to get 15mg too...

Mrmo, if the 24mg is satisfying your cravings then that's fine, don't worry about it! If you do want to cut down a bit try some 18mg.

Have a look around some of these websites, and don't forget to take note of the discount codes

you could always go to boots and get some glycerin then dilute your 24mg BUT you will lose some of the taste it will get weaker

I started about three months ago from being a stupidly heavy smoker with 24mg, now down to 12 and will soon cut down to 10. Didn't really notice that much differance to be honest!

Hello & welcome Mrmo

As punisher says, buy some pure glycerine & you can cut your e-liquid with it

Don't be in too much of a hurry to lower your nic intake. Let your body adjust to the new delivery method, and after a month or so, try an 18mg juice, then a 12mg, etc.
As a newbie to the world of mixology (Mixing my own juices from the basic ingredients, all of which can be sourced easily from various retailers), I can thoroughly recommend it as a way of keeping control of your flavours and strength. It's no where near as frightening as it sounds, and after you've made the first couple of batches, you'll wonder what all the fuss is about!
Enjoy the vaping, and cut back when you feel ready - you will know when the time is right!

mrmo..........as others have said either stick with the 24mg, cut it down with a bit of VG or buy some 5ml testers just to see if you prefer 18mg, you can cut down gradually

Happy vaping

I smoked 40 JPS a day since I was 16 and I found 24mg too strong from the start, I was 18mg for loong time now I can vape 12mg but still use 18mg if I fancy it, I don't plan on cutting down any more. One bit of advice is not to take much notice of the amount of nicotine you are having in comparison to analogues (real smokes) the absorption of nicotine is greatly reduced in vaping and to be honest nicotine is not that bad for you, most academic wizz brains agree it is no worse than coffee. By switching to vaping you have eliminated sucking smoke, ash, fire and all the other vile putrid chemicals that cigarettes contain into your body.

I was a 7/8 cigs a day smoker and settled on 18mg from the off. Found it to be just right for me. Hope that helps.
