You're doing what most of us do at first, it usually lasts about a month or so (give or take)----it becomes like an electric binky lol. 24 mg is a good start level for a high moderate to heavy smoking hx. It will even out in the future. Go with it, your replacing an old habit with a new one, and the similarity helps.

Some people that nicotine overdose is not possible, but the fact is that it is possible when you cross the threshold. However, the possibility of it happening is trivial. The predicted lower dose to form an overdose is in the range of 500 to 1000 mg, which is a big quantity that is rarely consumed through vaping. Thus, to overdose, 40 ml of a nicotine-rich e-liquid in a normal 12mg/ml device is required to be consumed. When consumed, nicotine is absorbed quite quickly. Thus, a chain vaper will consume the full 40 ml at one go, which is rare. Still, if you continue to vape ahead of the threshold, nicotine poisoning is likely to be experienced to some extent, at least. Its symptoms include diarrhea, anxiety, confusion, more salivation, stomach cramps, and headache. More critical signs are coma, seizures, slow heart rates, and even respiratory failure. Thus, it is best to vape an e-liquid with no nicotine if you were addicted to tobacco smoking before quitting.
