Nicotine intake amount ?

[clivealive1]

I was wondering does anyone know ,  I used to smoke cigs 20 a day at 11mg stength.
so when I order juice I get 11mg and I suppose i am using around 3/4 ml a day.

so the questions

1 /. Am I having the same intake or more
2/.  does it matter if its more ?

11 mg fags are very strong ... I used to smoke B&H which were about 10 I think ... I would suggest you start on 24mg juice ... 12 mg won't cut it for you to start with ... You can always reduce but don't set yourself up to fail at the start

i have been off fags since jan 11th , I was more worried that i had got it wrong and was having too much nicotine.
I am doing ok with 11 mg and enjoying it.
i started with vaporittes then small ego's with iclear16's etc, now iam using mods.

Yeah I absolutely agree. I was a VERY heavy roll up smoker. I started on 24mg and cut down gradually to 18mg for many,many months. When I recently ordered some stuff from T-Juice i decided to give 11mg a try, purely because I thought the strong flavours in the liquids would slightly cushion the reduction in nicotine.
I was right and I am already planning to use the T-Juice concentrates to cut down to 8mg. Then hopefully further still.

When I started vaping back in July, I started with 36mg. Strong... But it got me off the smokes with ease.

A couple months later, and I reduced to 24mg. I'm now around 20, but can happily vape at 16, albeit more vaping is required.

If your happy with 11, then 11 is fine. I am planning on reducing to single figures eventually, but I'm in no rush so am happy to take my time. All I want to do is get to the point that IF they ban ecigs AND I run out of mixing supplies, I WONT have to go out and buy a pack of smokes.

As it is, I buy a carton everytime I go offshore.

Sorry to ask, but do you mean 1.1mg nicotine? There is about 10mg of nicotine in an unsmoked cigarette (very average figure that, sorry) and 1mg of nicotine from that cigarette. For example, medium fags are somewhere around the 0.6/0.7 mark. 1.0mg is like a full-flavour version.

Do you have a packet to look at, or tell me the brand so I can look on my sheets?

Are you vaping 3 to 4 ml a day?

Sounds about right to me.

You must remember that in E-juice the only chemical that is present in E-juice and Cigarettes in Nicotine.
But cigarettes also contain another 2,500 chemicals that are not found in e-juice and some of these, which are in themselves addictive, also enhance the flow of smoke deep into your lungs.
These chemicals are what give you the "satisfying" feeling that you get from cigarettes and to counteract the effects of these chemicals will require you, at least in the beginning, to use more nicotine in your e-juice than you would think if you try to compare nicotine levels only between e-juice and cigarettes.

I was a 40 a day smoker.
At first I was on the Skycig system and on 12mg and 18mg.
I then bought the Vision 1000 kit and started using 24mg e-juice. This worked for me.
I also had a couple of samples of 36mg e-juice and whenever I got worked up about something, this also "did the bizz".
Now I am on 22/24mg e-juice and again I am content with this.

Really you have to try whatever level you want but for a number of months before you start to cut down, if you ever cut down.
Give yourself time. Your body will tell you what level it requires.
