I had to do 6 and willpower, as anything higher nic was killing my throat. Down to 3 or 1.5.
Same here...people have different goals....some want to stop smoking and drop their nic level....my goal was simply to stop smoking....mission accomplished...dropping my nic consumption wasnt and still isnt my goal...I've been smoke free, tar free, etc for nearly 3 yrs and have never felt the urge to drop...besides, as a former hotboxing, cig mangling, deep inhaling 33 yr smoker of multiple packs a day, I like the throat hit that higher nic levels offer...I need it to feel satisfied...people seem pretty pleased with dropping their nic...its all good...more power to you if that is your goal....but many people go from a high resistance, low wattage setup to a subohm setup and then pat themselves on the back for dropping nic while not understanding that when you go from something like a Nautilus at 2 ohm and 10 to 12 watts to a Subtank or dripper at .2 ohm and running a much higher wattage level you have to drop your nic level appropriately or you will nic out...you are still gonna get a large dose of nic regardless due to the larger overall volume of juice and nic you are now consuming....its not magical and it really isnt "dropping nic" in a sense...many go from using a few mil a day of juice to consuming entire bottles daily.....you are still getting your nic...a lot of it...Started with 24mgs....and after over a year...got it down to 24mgs.
