I was wondering what strength of nicotine juice I should get and would like some advice please.
I used to smoke 15-20 Marlb Lights a day (0.5mg nic it says on the box).
I wouldn't want to pump too much nicotine into my body, baring in mind at the moment I'm vaping like I smoked - every hour or so - as the "fag break" habit is still there.
Thanks for any info.

The 0.5mg is per cigarette so if you smoked the whole pack that would give you 10mg nicotine

So if I had a 10ml bottle that was 10mg nicotine, I'd have to vape it all to get the same effect?

Hi Picky, nice to meet you, fel free to start your own thread and tell us a bit about what your vaping at the moment Benny, that kind of makes sense doesn't it? If your vaping to give up smoking you need a liquid that is strong enough to stop your cravings! Also nicotine is absorbed differently with vaping. I still think a good starting point is 18mg that should give you an idea whether it is too strong, weak or just right. Start off just getting a couple of small sample bottles then take it from there Paradise vapes will mix what strength you want and sells small 5ml bottles paradisevapeuk.vstore.ca/index.php/cName/ejuice/osCsid=f15ddf6c1ae046e7ee282a3d1acbe28e

Nice to be here!!, good advice btw
I was on 24 mg when I started and found that it gave me headaches!! as I was Vaping way to much!! (I blame Vape Escape for the mega HS Menthol Sensation as it was soooooo nice!!), anyways I cut down to 18mg and I was ok with this I also use 8mg as I am trying to cut down on the nicotine (and hopefully get down to 0mg)

Picky you could mix the 8 and 18 together and that would bring the strength down to 13mg which may be a more middle of the road stage in cutting down!

Think that's a question for karma, but I would not worry to much about using 18mg what strength you using at the moment?, do you have cravings very often? a couple of weeks ago I cut down to 8mg for about 4 days and found out that I was craving/Vaping more frequently during the day, so I used 2 Cartomizers one with 8mg and one with 18mg (think 8mg is a bit low as I smoked for 20 years!!)

I'm on greensmokes light cartz, which they say are like 0.6mg cigs, and they seem fine. I guess it's a case of suck it and see.....literally lol. Thanks for the replies!

So if I had a 10ml bottle that was 10mg nicotine, I'd have to vape it all to get the same effect? The measurement in this bottle would be 10mg /ml. All mg measurements for nicotine we use is in mg/ml. This means 1 ml of 10mg/ml nicotine would be 10mg. as mentioned though, absorption is different with vaping so relating it to fags (however tempting it might be ) is next to useless.

I used to smoke very mild rolling tobacco (Cutters choice bright) and use 8 - 10 mg strength nic. I started on 18 mg, but it gave me headaches.

Start high and go down low, I've always stuck to 18mg medium/high - however I tried some 24mg and I vaped a lot less of it and spent less time vaping at a time - it's really getting vaping to become second nature, making your head think "vape" rather than "light up cigarette" Good equipment, and good solid "all day vape" flavours are key, they have been for me - and have made a world of difference, has taken me about 4 weeks to get there though ...do ask loads of questions, read back through the forum, and enjoy vaping

Some good info there, thanks. So maybe, I have gone for a good start point with the 30ml 6mg option. I'll be sure to report back with what happens once I get set.

Not that it helps but I usually vape higher mg juices in the morning 24/36 then weaker ones in the afternoon.
Its different for everyone I guess, good luck benny (what juice did you settle on?)

Well, I've ordered a 18mg 10ml from www.e-liquid-e-liquid.com today and a 6mg 30ml from health e vape yesterday before I joined up here. I guess one of those should give me a good idea I've not got the correct kit (got a greensmoke) to use them yet, but it's in the pipeline (thanks to malibu )
