I was smoking 2 1/2 packs a day, and went with the 12 mg. The first flavor is English toffee. I am having to get used to it. It seems harsh. Unless I take really small hits it makes me couth my head off. Am I too high at 12 mg.? It doesn't seem so because I always seem to want more..
The nicotine level does not affect harshness (or throat hit as we call it). 18mg may be better for you if you smoked 2.5 packs a day. 24mg may be a bit too high and make you feel dizzy.
The liquid you are vaping will have a high PG ratio. For smooth vapour you need a liquid which has a higher VG ratio. High VG ratio also gives much bigger plumes of vapour.
I recommend liquids with a 60/40 PG/VG mix or 50/50. I am currently vaping a 60/40 mix and loving it.
100% PG liquids just make me cough and have little vapour production. Some people like this, although, it's not so common.
You will find US liquids are smoother and have more vapour. Chinese liquids tend to be harsh with less vapour. It's because Chinese cigarettes are generally much harsher than US ones, so the e-liquid industry makes liquids according to the target market. This is just a general rule of thumb; the only way you'll know if the liquid is harsh or not is to find out before buying what the PG/VG ratio is.
When you find a nice flavour with smooth vapour, you'll never look back.
