The way I look at it, there are something like 4,000 chemicals in cigarette smoke (if the stuff you read is true). Many of these are known carcinogens. Others are nasty in their own way. Nicotine is addictive, in the same way as caffeine, but has no proven harmful effects on the body. I'll stick with my nicotine thank you very much and kiss goodbye to the other 3,999

My plan was to wean myself of the nicotine, but I've never got round to it.

It doesn't seem to be that bad for you (if that changes I shall have to review my decision) and it gives me alot of pleasure, so at the moment, I'm staying as I am.

Vaporized, I think as you are a 60 a day smoker, you need a higher nicotine content than what you have ordered - at least 24mg if not 36mg. if you quickly email Jason (Vape Escape) I'm sure he will change your order for you.

I had to double read your post and double answer you.

Either you have typed a figure wrong or don't grasp the equations, neither are enough to worry about, but if it makes things a little easier I will explain.

In a pack of your jps, each cigarette contains 10mg of tar not nicotine. Rather the nicotine content would be around 0.8 - 1.0 mg. (20 x 0.8 =16) so a pack of 20 cigarettes would hold around 16 mg of nicotine and around a whopping 200mg of tar.

The eliquids are sold in mg per ml. Eg 11 18 24 36 and the general consensus is that people who smoked an average of 20 cigarettes ad day would use 18mg strength eliquid, it's not simply a case though of multiplying your 3 packs by 18mg and trying to smoke 54mg strength eliquid, this would make yo overdose on nicotine very quickly as its all in 1ml and would make you quite ill.
As Tim says the nicotine absorption rates are different in us all...

...Wow, ow my fingers hurt, I'm off for a vape, coconut and banana for the record, WITH ZERO TAR TYVM.

Hi and Vapourized

Chrissie has linked you to a really good starter kit almost all of us have or have had one in our time vaping.

One thing I will point out is that the cartomisers and the Vision Ego that you get in the kit (they're the bits that contain a heating coil and hold the liquid) are consumable items, the cartomisers will last between 3 to 7 days each and the Vision 7 - 10 days if you're a heavy vaper. They get a carbon deposit building up on the coils that stops them working efficiently. You can do some maintenance on them to keep them running longer, but we'll deal with that later.

So in your first few days vaping see which type you prefer then buy at least 2 weeks supply of what you like to use, then keep them stocked up and do the same for the liquid you like, that way you'll not run out before you can get more.

We have a mantra here "get back ups for your back ups!"

Please keep asking questions, no matter how trivial they may seem.

And please let us know how you get on.
