HI from an overly excited new vaper

[bipbip]

Hi all this looks like a great place. I'm just joining the world of vaping.

I bought a E-lite just cause it was there and though I'd like to give it a try. And I didn't want to smoke any more. So I looked in to e cigs and realised there was no way I wanted to continue with e-lites. So I ordered a v3i starter kit from jacvapers after reading some good reviews. 
I'm happy enough with this choice despite now realising its not very compatible. I've also ordered some e-liquids (stupid name) from paridise vape. At the moment I'm back on the rollies as my e-lite ran out of  batt and my kit is in the Easter post hold up. So I'm just tapping at my key board in excitement trying not to order tons of juice to try.
How ever I'm really not sure what strength I should have been ordering (I have go for a mix from 12mg to 0). I'm a frequent light smoker. By this I mean that I smoke tiny rollies often. I finish 12.5 gms of amber leaf in just under a week but like to smoke at least 5 times a day. 
So I was wondering what experienced vapers thought would be the "right" strength for me.
Cheers for any thoughts.
Bip

Welcome to the forum Biphip.

Yes, I think 12mg is about right, however if you feel light headed or dizzy at that strength, then cut it to 6mg.
Again if you find yourself vaping continuously, then up the level to 18mg.

Vaping will seem strange to start with because you are changing from smoking about 2,500 chemicals that are in cigarettes to just 4 or 5 that are in e-cigs and it does take the body a wee while to adjust, but the main thing is that you are getting the nicotine and that is what we are all looking for, either in smoking or in vaping.

I too stopped smoking with a cig-a-like. Mine was a Skycig.

So pull up a chair and get your feet under our table. You will not go wrong in this forum and there will be plenty of folks along to advise you where to go from here.

Ever good journey starts with a first step and you have made that now.

Hi bipbip and welcome! My smoking was a bit liken your own - 4-5 cigs a day - sometimes rollies, sometimes Superkings.

I went straight to my eGo and CE4 and haven't considered a stinky since. I've mostly stuck to 18mg juice so far.

Check out the last few pages of this thread Bargains

The ebnferro site in Dutchland has lots of flavours for 1€ per 10ml (search for "short sell") with free delivery to the UK.

The group buys threads are also a great source of cheap Vapegear.

Welcome to your new hobby!!

Welcome Bip.

When I started I bought the v1p starter kit and also the vgo from jacvapour, excellent customer service from Andy, 9 months later I have moved on to a vamo and making my own liquids, I have gone from 24 mg to 12 mg, its just a matter on what works best for you.
AAEC is probably the most friendliest forum I know, the members are very helpful and even the mods seem like a decent bunch too . its a great place and like LobbeyDosser said pull up that chair and enjoy the forum.

Welcome bipbip.
I agree with lobey - 12mg sounds good, but be prepared to change if it doesn't seem right. You may find that less is fine. You can always mix 12 mg with 0mg to cut it.

Welcome to the friendliest forum on the net!

As already said, your body will tell you how much nic is too much, dizzy/lightheaded usually means you have overdone it, reccomending nic levels is subjective - seems like some people have to have high nic juice, even if they were a light smoker, others only need low nic, even if they were a heavy smoker. For example I use 18mg nic juice even though I was smoking 30-40+ rollies a day, where others need higher/lower strengths even though they were smoking more. Nic requirements seem to be affected by how often you like/can vape also, some like a short vape of high strength, some like a low strength longer vape, it's all really individual, and a lot of fun finding out what you like!

Apologies if I'm rambling, got a belly full of Jack Daniels! (First alcohol since starting to vape )

A warm welcome to you Bip.


Listening to your body is as Hesta says the best way of determining what strength nicotine suits you and satisfys your needs.


Start with a low/medium strength and go from there.

Hi bipbip welcome to the forum.

As already said your body will tell you which nice level juice you need. I smoked around 20 follies a day, tried 18mg, then 24mg still smoked a few follies a day so upped to 30mg and stopped completely. After just over a month I now mainly vape 24mg and plan on cutting it down again in a couple of months.

Enjoy the vaping experience.

Hi biphip. Welcome to the forum. Some sound advice above so i shall just say HELLO

THANKS all.for the wonderful response and welcome.
I do understand that these things change from person to person I'm just wanting to het an idea of were I might be so I get as little frustration as possible in the beginning when I'm getting off the rollies.
although I just thought i guess I should look at what strength the e-lite lights are cause that seemed to suit me.
