Nicotine Levels?
So, when you first quit smoking and start vaping, after you have a kit and a flavor, that is a big question, what nicotine level do i need?
Thing is, there is no real way to tell, thing is with me, when I was still a smoker, I used to smoke full flavored cigarettes, about a pack a day, and honestly sometimes I would smoke until I felt sick.
Thing is, when I ordered my first juice, i ordered all 24 mg, and believe it or not after about a week, it was too high! I would take a couple of toots and feel almost sick! That is good when you are on break, but not when you are at home trying to enjoy your flavor.
So the next order was 18 mg and some 12 mg.
I found my home, 12 mg is great for most of the time, and higher for work. Also, I am trying to get down to zero nicotine. So, at night I vape 6 or 0mg.
Here is a funny thing 
Today, errr yesterday, whatever, at work I brought a tasty flavor with me at work….
I forgot that it was 6mg!!! So, at the end of the day, I felt funny and was starting to be loopier than usual…
There have been other times where I have not vaped “enough” and have felt angry….
So, moral of the story, when you are looking for your nic. level, by more than one strength, and no matter how long you have been vaping, look at the bottle!!!!
The method of vaping makes a difference as well. My sweetie has been using clearomizers since he started vaping, until yesterday when he started using one of my carto tanks because the new juice he got is known to crack polycarb tanks. He’s never used a carto before and apparently the 12mg liquid he’s used to is suddenly too strong for him. Who’d have thought.
I have had this issue my self and I figured out that it is the juice, I’m a 12 to 8 nic and I flavor I have I have to get it in 6 nic
I’ve been ordering around 12mg but recently got some 18mg. Hopefully I don’t have an issue with it being too high. I suppose I could always cut it?
I get 24
Never thought about this.
i have never thought about the way that you vape making a difference, wow!
i started with 34 now i vape from vapedudes only
sorry 30 now 24 lol
I’ve been hovering around 16 – 18mg/ml the past year, but now that I’m using a Cobra, I notice that even 12 can get me a hell of a nic buzz since I tend to crank the watts up a bit more with that. Might finally start getting some 6mg/ml for the Cobra.
For me 12mg is perfect. I do not go any higher then that or I start to feel sick. I can do 18mg but prefer not to.
I started with 24mg/ml and sometimes 36 mg/ml to help initially. 24mg/ml has been my mainstay for almost 2 years. I agree that delivery device makes a difference because i vape a lot less with a genesis style atty. I think it vaporizes the juice more efficiently.
I vape 18 mg to 12 mg….
I vape until my body tells me to hold back…
This usually happens around mid afternoon….
Been thinking on a 0.6 mg for the evenings and at night…
I usually vape 24 mg
i smoked three packs a day so i started at 24 but that would make me woozy and loopy feeling i then went to 18 the same. i am currently at 12 and seem to do o,k, but hoping someday to get to zero
I tried 36 but found that was too high so 24 is my sweet spot
Started with 24mg. I’m down to 12mg on the regular, 10mg with reduced strength Pluid. I do not like going higher than 12mg now, and I can usually taste a difference.
im gonna drop to 18 soon
ok
I started with 24mg a year ago and still vape 24mg.
good to see that others are trying to go down to zero as well
im at 18..might need 24 though..
When I started I bought 3 bottles 1 of each of 36,24,and 18 mg. Because I wasn’t sure what level I needed. If helped being able to switch up when I felt I was not getting enough nic. Since then I have got into DIY and have been able to lower my nic requirements from 32 down to 20 a little at a time and still feel satisfied.
i usually vape 36…..someTimes 24
i got some 18 from a friend ……….. undecided
I started on 24, and have lowered to 18/16/14s. The method does matter greatly. I had to lower from 24 to 18 when i switched to genesis style devices. They will give you a great nicotine buzz. Once i finish up this juice stock I am planning on dropping down to 14/12/10s (all depending on whats available in flavors i like). The downside to lowering your nicotine amount is throat hit. Sometimes even a 18 on a gennie cant satisfy my throat hit requirements.
it’s great that you are stepping down your nicotine lvls, i started at 24 and should probably still be using it, but i went down to 16-18… i used to vape myself sick now and then with the 24 when i was chainvaping and relaxing, which i like to do a lot, but when i’m just vaping at a “normal” pace the lower dosage doesn’t keep my cravings down…
So ive tried 18 and 24..20 would be a damn perfect balance for me!
i started at 24 and am now at 10 to 12
18 is not bad fro24 dont really notice a difference
112mg here
112mg?? Maybe of THC
I started on a 20mg of nic. I am now using a 16-18(if i have to) but others I have talked to started with 24 and some are down to 6 and a few are at 0.
I like to use higher nic when I only get to vape occasionally, like smoke breaks. Lower levels when around the house, at the computer and such
Yes, I am very sad about this too, originally from Menominee, MI I always watched WLUK, I then moved to Green Bay and got more into WLUK. I love my pete and patrick! Now that I live in Sheboygan I no longer get to watch my favorite news.. I even tried to buy the most expensive anntena money could buy and still nothing. Still sad, but I do still follow WLUK online and love to have a few of the reports on FB helps too! Can’t wait to move back to GB so I can see you guys again.
that last comment…
am i tired???
either way…
vping lower and lower!!
