btw (heh-heh-heh, I got so far off-topic that I gotta say "oh, hey, by the way" before saying something germane to a vapers' thread)...

so, btw; I had an interesting pattern with the nic salts. I had kind of unconsciously thought that higher nic% would perhaps lead to less frequent vapes/toots. It was part of that "why inhale all this extra junk?" thing... along with the MTL.
So, anyway, I quickly got used to the MTL, and then the pretty-much-no-inhaling, and that's great. But the nic% thing was a total flop. I've been vaping my salts at around 40mg/mL, and found, if anything, a slow increase in amount-of-time-spent-with-mod-in-face. Certainly no decrease.
So, when I was processing all the pictures last week, I noticed that I was mindlessly vaping to pass the time every time the software was processing the changes I'd made. I was tucking away at that 40mg salt like it was popcorn or something. And I was feeling no different for doing so. (not satisfied, not nic-sick, just nuppin')
So, I sayz to myself, "what the heck are you doing here?".
So, I waltzed into the kitchen and cut the 40 salts to 27.5 by mixing it 50/50 with some 15mg freebase I still had kicking around.
So, and, that's fine. Guess that's what I'm vaping now. Seems to suit just as well as the 40.
Go figure.

So, I had no intention of going there; but I can tell that I've got a new game to play ... that this will be a point of interest for me (this how-much-can-I-decrease-my-nic-and-be-fine-with-it game).
I don't expect I'll see that much more of a decrease without feeling some unpleasant difference; but it sure would be fun to have switched (back) to MTL, and then MTNose, and find myself vaping the same nic% as I did when I was lung hitting 90W toots.

:rolleyes: we shall see, we shall see.
I tried the taper to lower nic thing.

I never had cravings. But sheesh, I was a cranky bastidge [emoji23]

In other news. I have a slab of dead thing ready to be eaten.

you know what was actually surprisingly "difficult" for me was giving up the flavors. Turned out that the flavors were a notable part of my sense of satisfaction in having a vape.

That was on my mind today, as I realized I hadn't thought about flavors (or the lack thereof) for almost a whole day. And I guess that transition is just about complete . .. almost.

that was to extend coil life, IIRC?

i mostly vape unflavoured. But currently have a DIY NET mixed around 1%. IF you tried flavoured now, you'd likely be super sensitive and only need tiny amounts

yeah, no. :>P

a couple of my squonk bottles held on to residual flavor pretty good.
Wee traces of flavorings seemed very pronounced to me.
I'll bet you're right.

Would me getting this 2 years ago today make sense? My Google photos showed memories today of a bunch of pics of it.
