What MG free base should I use in a RPM2 DC 0.6ohm MTL Coil?
Is 12 mg good or too much?

not if you were a heavy smoker... For each person what's right is variable. As a 2PAD Marlboro red smoker I began vaping at 18mg, with modern gear being more efficient 12mg is probably right depending on how much you smoked... but if you were only a light smoker I'd start with less and go up if necessary.

If you only take 3 or 4 Hits a Day at Low Wattage, 12mg/ml might Not Be Enough. Whereas if you Vape like you used to Smoke and use a High Wattage, 12mg/ml might be Too Much.

You just need to do some Experimenting to Find what Works Best for You.

12 mg could be perfectly fine for some people. It has a lot to do with how much you used to smoke and how much nicotine your body needs for you to not go through withdrawal. Some of the signs that a nicotine is too high on the device that you're using would be a headache a dry mouth sort of a sick tummy feeling that can indicate nicotine sickness. And the way to handle that is to stop vaping for a while until it all goes away and then you know 12 mg is too high on the device you're using. Because you're not really sure I would take it slow Don't chain vape right away give it a little while get into it and see how you feel. Because nicotine sickness doesn't come on right away it takes a minute or two for it to really hit you.

I think 12mg is too strong with 0.6 ohm coil.
But if you don't mind, could you tell me how long do you vape?
And the nic level that you use before?

Thank you.Before i have been using EGO type for almost 6 years with 18 and than 12 mg nic.(sorry for my English).And 1 week ago i started using SMOK RPM 2S and still have a lot of juice 12 mg. That is why i am asking.

If you are Not feeling Light Headed or getting Headaches then yeah, it should be Fine. If you are, then you should Dial your Nicotine mg/ml level back a bit.

Also, be sure to Drink a Lot of Water and Fluids when Vape. Especially if you have Recently Quit smoking.

Using e-Cigarettes tends to Dehydrate you. And Drinking a Lot of Water when you Quit Smoking helps to Flush Out your system.

May i ask you what about 0.8 ohm with 12 mg (80VG/20PG)? Would it be better than with 0.6 ohm?On the other hand it has been said that 80/20 shouldn't be used with more than 0.6 ohm and i am confused...

The Difference between 0.8 Ohms and 0.6 Ohms is Very Small. So you might not see a huge difference between the two.

Your Ratio of VG to PG is all a matter of Choice. So don't worry about what people say you Should or Shouldn't do. You can use ANY Ratio of VG to PG that your like.

Although some people will say that More than 50% PG might be too harsh for them. Or make them Cough more than a Lower % of PG.

Just Don't Worry about things. It sounds like you are Doing Fine.

Thank you very much. I live in Turkey and nobody knows much about these things. Unfortunately here they just want to sell and say "ok" to everything. May i ask if 12 mg freebase nic. would be better with RMP DC 0.8 ohm MTL? But the problem is the juice i own is 80VG/20PG and as far as i understand it is not good for more than 0.5-0.6 ohm...

Nonsense.

I use 80%+ VG e-Liquid in my RTA's with a 1.2 Ohm Coil all the time. In fact, 1.2 Ohms Coils is about the Only thing I use in an RTA. Once and awhile a 0.9 Ohm coil. But that is usually because I pulled out the Wrong Container of coils. And I'm too Lazy to remove a Coil once it is installed.

LOL

So Don't let people tell you that something like 80VG/20PG is Not Good for more than a 0.5 ~ 0.6 Ohm Coil. You might Find that you Love it.

The Key is Just Try It. And see what You Like Best.

Any coil, any ohm will work with any nicotine. As for strength of nicotine, just vape and see. If you start feeling nauseous or anxious stop. Assuming you don’t have a serious significant health issue you will be fine. Listen to your body and vape away.

Some Coil Heads work better with Thinner e-Liquids like 50%VG/50%PG. So it Might. But it also Might Not. And it might Leak more with a 50|50 e-Liquid.

I'm Not really a Good Person to Ask about 50% PG e-Liquids. Because when I use anything more than about 30% PG, I get that Cough like you have a piece of Popcorn stuck in throat.

You just have to Try it to see what Works and What you like.

I vape using an 80VG/20PG (and even higher VG) mixes all the time in coils and have no issues with the coils not wicking properly... If you find it slightly too viscous after vaping a little then you can always add a few drops distilled water to thin it out further - if that's your concern. You just have to make certain your priming your coils well before vaping on a new coil.

As far as coils, there's nearly no difference between .6ohm coils and .8, certainly not a noticeable enough difference to worry about 12mg being too much nicotine. Just vape it and see how it goes for you, If you find after vaping that it's too strong for you, you can always dilute it with some plain VG or PG without worry to knock the strength down some. :)

Thanks for the helpful advice! Hope 1 drop distilled water per ml will be ok,if something goes wrong)

I would go less than that... I would say 1-2 drops per 5ml would be all I would use.

and you have to be careful to use only distilled water - not tap water from the faucet.
