Thanks all for your comments. The first liquid I bought was 18mg and I wasn't sure if I was feeling strange because I was getting too much nicotine or not enough. I switched to 12mg liquid and for the past few days that has been working fine. Normally if I don't have enough nicotine I get cranky and I haven't had any of that. So I guess 18mg was more than what I needed, which seems strange given other peoples comments, but I guess whatever works, works.

Hi All, I am new to vaping. One of my coworkers has been a smoker his entire life and used vaping to greatly reduce the amount he smokes and mentioned it to me since I am a former smoker that switched to dipping (smokeless tobacco) when my son was born about 4 years ago so he wouldn't be exposed to second hand smoke. I have only been vaping for about a week but in that time I have not dipped at all and have only had a few cravings. One of the things I was and still am a little unsure of is how to directly compare my nicotine intake (dipping vs vaping). My goal is to eventually get down to very little or no nicotine so I don't want to overdo it with nicotine and get myself further addicted. The shop I bought my stuff from recommended 18mg eliquid which seemed high to me but I guess that is about right for someone that dips since the nicotine level in dip is pretty high, especially for someone like me who dipped all day and didn't spit. I asked the folks at the shop about the nic levels and if vaping x amount of 12mg juice is the same as vaping 2x of 6mg juice. They said it doesn't really work that way, but I didn't really understand why it wouldn't, so would appreciate it if someone could weigh in on that. Also, since I don't really know many other vapers I don't have a good point of reference and was wondering how much vaping is "normal". I have been vaping about 3-4 ml of 12mg juice, maybe a little more if I go out to a bar on the weekend. I work in an office so while I'm at work I'll take a drag maybe every 20 mins or so and when I'm at home at night doing work or just browsing online I'll chain vape taking a drag every couple minutes . Is that pretty normal? I'm not up on all the vaping equipment jargon yet but I bought a vision spinner 2 and am using it with a clearomizer. It's what the shop recommended as a good middle of the road starting point and it seems to work pretty well so far. There have been a few times where I wished I could get more vapor / stronger throat hit but I think part of that is also just finding a juice that I like. I have been vaping some random (i.e. noname) green apple eliquid and just picked up some unicorn milk today and other than the price point I like it so far. Thanks for any info you can provide.
