Hello everyone.
I’ve got an innokin coolfire z50, using a 1.6 coil. I used to smoke about 15 filtered roll ups a day and I’m now using 12mg liquid. I’m finding it a bit too strong, only using about 2-3 mil a day. Have been looking on the internet and the majority of sites suggest 12mg is right for me. Should I stick with 12 or try 6mg, but don’t want to be vaping every minute of the day if the nicotine is too low. What nicotine strength have others started on who used to smoke 15 ciggies a day?
Thanks for any help.
 
Give 6mg a go. If it works, it works. If not, you could mix a 6mg with 12mg (in same quantities I.e. 10ml of each) and make it 9mg and see if that works.
 
You can get 9mg in some brands like Vampire Vape. Also you can get nic salts in 10mg. Maybe an option?
 
the answer is different for each individual person so its difficult to answer.
no harm in trying lower nic and if you feel you are getting the cravings back then either vape more or raise the nic again.

i started on 18mg over 7 years ago. i smoked 20-30 a day for 37 years.
withing 3-4 weeks on mouth to lung using 1.8ohm nautilus coil i bought the first ever sub ohm tank the kanger subtank mini and lowered straight down to 3mg and have stuck there ever since. i do get through around 40-50ml a day though and have a kit in my hand every waking moment.

what juice are you using as there is a lot of shite out there. maybe sticking with 12mg but buy a variation of other makes of juice to see if it could be that causing the strong taste.
 
It surprising how low you can go if you are used to withdrawing and also how long its been since you stopped smoking, if its early since you did then stay put as the temptation to smoke again could be quite strong.

If you quit the cigarettes a while ago you might be surprised how easy it might be to lower the nicotine :)

I’m using liQuid , so maybe that’s the problem ? will try some other brands
 
Thanks never tried nice salts before
much smoother than freebase nic. 20mg salt is smilar to 3mg freebase but you get a quicker buzz and if you vape too much you can get light headed or feel sick. if this happens then just stop for 30-60mins.
may suite you better as you dont vape that much.

has it tasted strong from the start or did it get stronger the more you vaped. could it be the coil thats on its way out.

liquid are ok for some. tried many of theirs over the years.
another new vendor just joined us. worth trying vape69 where you can get 3 bottles for £1 delivered.
also got quite a few bottles from drip drop at £2 each and some really nice flavours.
