Has your nicotine levels increased or decreased?

[Dirty_Ralph]

I wouldn't say it was solely to reduce for the sake of reducing as in a conscience choice to lower my level as it was to rid myself of that pesky burn of vaping to high of a nicotine level. That being said I now vape 03mg on sigelei 150W .03 ohms between 30-34 Watts on my quest to find that smoothest, fullest, most satisfying lungful having started a pack a day full flavor 100's smoker since I was roughly 13 now being 45 and starting my vape on my wife's Aspire BDC with an adjustable battery with 18-24mg. My goal is still the experience of a satisfying lungful but would like to be nicotine free and max tastiness asap.

Decreased. Started on 48mg 4+ years ago. Now on 8mg.

 

[Caro123]

started at 12 on an evod went to 18 on an eleaf 20 watt at 7-8 watts then bought a dripper couldn't do more than 3 also bought subtank mini not sure I like it nic 6 to 8 been Vaping only 4 months still settling in I suspect

 

[wheelie]

Started at 24mg, then 18mg and presently at 12mg. Likely going to start weaning myself down to 6mg over the next couple months. I smoked for 42 years so lots of time to get to zero if I so choose. CHEERS!

You do realize that most people will decease the amount of nicotine concentration in thier juice due to vaping at higher power levels........ They will consider that as a decrease in usage, even though there may actaully be an INCREASE in both usage and dosage, simply due to more effective atomization and vaporization. resulting in increased juice consumption.

You do realize though, that we only absorb a fraction of the nicotine contained in the liquid. You're not actually getting a full 6mg from 1ml of 6mg/ml juice, maybe not even half of that. Vaping isn't super efficient, but the nicotine we do get from it is of a much more pure form than you get from cigarettes.

Started with 24mg years ago, stayed there until I got into dripping and mechs, quickly dropped to 6 and then 3. Now I mix 2mg-ish and can vape 0 with no trouble.

Yes. I do. BUT, the math for that is very difficult to explain here.. Much easier to deal with the math when based on Consumption rather than absorption. Nic is absorbed at a different rate for each vaper, and on top of that no 2 attys vaporize the same. IF I know I consume 6ML a day of 10mg/ml I have used 60 MG of nic that day. Now if I up the wattage of my vape I tend to USE more juice PER PUFF. This can result in an extra strong nic hit. So higher wattage also may mean I need a lower concentration of nic in the BOTTLE. In know incoherient, it's all about dosage and dilution.

Went from 12 to 6 to 3.Been thinking of going back to 6 to cut back on the chain vape.

 

[NightSky]

Stayed pretty consistent. I started with 6-12 and and now I vape 6. I'm not using vaping to quit nicotine, although I'm glad I was able to stop smoking cigarettes/hookah.

 

[jks89]

I started with 24, down to 5 now. I went down to 12 before I started subohm-ing (oh the days when the Atlantis was new...), went to 6 when I started subohm-ing. DIYing my own juice now at 5.

As mentioned by others, it wasn't as much of a desire to decrease nicotine as it was to make it not so harsh now that I was getting more efficient vaporization.

 

[Strangebrew]

08/2012 16.5 mg.
05/2015 11.75 mg.
Nearing 35 months without tobacco.
Only going to drop to 8 mg. by 04/2020. (I enjoy the fix!)

 

[BobbyV]

In order to quit cigarettes, I started with 50VG/50PG 24 mg tobacco flavored juice. Within 12 months I was at 12 to 18 mg depending on my juice supplier and dropped tobacco flavored juice in favor of fruit flavored. About 7 months ago I dropped to 6 mg as I began to notice the throat hit with 12 mg was a bit too strong. Within a week, my body adjusted to the lower nicotine level. This October will mark my 3rd year tobacco free.

 

[Sanctuary Denied]

Started off about 4 years ago @ 24mg. Now I'm @ 3mg, but I use more juice due to the improvement of vaping technology.
Still, I think overall I have decreased.

 

[Vapez]

I started at 24. Went down to 18 for a bit, then up to 24 again. And when I was emptied for juice, I bought 50ml 12mg, and vaped all of it in 1 week so next time I ordered some vpg DYI with 15mg. And that is just perfect right now, planning on decreasing even more after a while.

 

[Moonlitwish]

Started at 24, quickly dropped to 18, then worked my way to 12. Dropped to 6, then to 0 while trying to get pregnant, got pregnant and quit altogether, stopped being pregnant and picked it back up again at 6. I'll probably work both of us down (without telling the missus who's at 11) just to prepare for the inevitable regulation and tax hike. It'll be a funny day when she realizes I'm not adding any nic to her juice and I tell her she hasn't had any in months!

[CountryGirl_Jess]

Decreased for me. I started at 30 something mg, went to 24, and am now at 18 for my pen. I got 3 and 6 for my box mod to see which will work best for me with it.

 

[K_Tech]

Decreased. I started at 24mg, and I am currently buying and mixing 3 to 6 mg liquid.

 

[vapehound]

For myself the nic content fluctuates between 6-10 mg/ml on a normal day I keep a bottle of 12mg juice and a specific tank for when I'm at work. Since I can't vape while workin, it seems to be just perfect for myself.

 

[TheJester]

Using the same set up as in my original post. Now I vape 3-6mg. Again not because I had to reduce my nicotine levels or changed my vaping style (my coils last about a month). I don't think I'm nearly as dependent on nicotine as I was when I was smoking cigarettes or when I first started vaping!

Now I can go like 6-8 hours without a vape without any real issues. Whereas before if I didn't wake up smoke 3 cigarettes then smoke a cigarette every hour I could not think or function.

 

[Tommy-Chi]

I'm pretty much at the same nic level. I bought several bottles at 6mg, a couple at 12mg, and I'm comfortable at that range, but just bought 2 - 125ml flasks at 3mg that I will probably add nic too to bring them up to 6mg. The 12mg is a nice wake up call for concentration!
