To be successful in switching from smoking to vaping, one of the most important things to initially work out is how much nicotine you normally intake. It is essential not to under or over estimate this factor, as doing so is one of the main reasons people go back to smoking from vaping. If the nicotine level is too high it can cause you to have an unpleasant experience using the vaping device, this is due to not only having too strong an affect but also the nicotine can tarnish the flavour slightly.
However if the nicotine is too low, subconsciously your body will be craving more nicotine, which will result in you possibly over using the device or feeling a sense of unfullfillment resulting in a possible lapse in back to smoking. We would initially take a rough estimate of the amount of cigarettes a day.
- 6 cigarettes or less - 3mg
- 7 to 12 cigarettes - 6mg
- 12 to 20 cigarettes - 12mg
- over 20 cigarettes - 18mg
This is obviously a rough estimate but we find it generally works. Of course if you are local to our store you can pop in and we can further assist you in making the right choice for you. If this is not possible we are always happy to exchange all unopened e-liquids for a higher of lower nicotine level.
After you get your nicotine level right your going to want to get a starter kit to get started. By buying a kit you will get everything you need to get you going with vaping.
Which starter kit you buy will depend on what type of throat hit you prefer. The throat hit is how the vapour feels in your throat. If you prefer to have a smooth hit, essentially you are unable to feel the vapour on your throat the fantastic Innokin T18E II kit would be a perfect starter kit for you.
If on the other hand you prefer a throat hit and like to feel the vapour on your throat then we would recommend the the Aspire Nautilus GT kit as a great starting point.
Of course you would still need to purchase your liquids to go in either devices which can be found here. With that in mind you are well on your way to putting the cigarettes down for good.
