0.5% at a time for me.

I'm all the way down to 12 now. :blush:

My margin for error is probably around 5mg. I'll have to start actually measuring with reasonable accuracy at some point

I have been getting ready to setup MTL builds. Caught a sweet collection of GP Paps and Lux on the classies.

I currently lung hit 4mg on my punches and other devices. At my current consumption rate though that's still pretty strong.

I have observed people when they get down to their lowest level goals 1/2% at a time have been the best proven success. I would imagine though that @ 25mg, 1 or 2ml at a time would not bee too noticable?

I figure 12ml would be a good starting point for me when switching to MTL at first. ;)

I have no idea, Puppy. I've never done DL. I didn't smoke that way, and never had an desire to vape that way.

I used 18 with some occasional hits of 24 when I first quit smoking (end of 2013, so almost 8 years ago). A couple of months later, I was like, OK, I should cut my nicotine now, and bought some 12. Uhm. No. Not satisfying. I ended up mixing that 12 with 18 to get 15 and that was OK. I stuck with 15 for a number of years. Once I got into mixing my from scratch, I started cutting, 0.5 mg at a time. I also watched my consumption and didn't to make sure I wasn't just vaping more to compensate. It took until this year to get all the way down to 12.0.

LOL, I remember by MTL days, 12mg will probably be a good starting point for me I figure. I have ample supply, I can always adjust later. :D

Trying to decide on next step down

Current is 40mg nic and 4ml of 36mg WTA in 100ml brew (where the 36mg is a combination of 92% nicotine and 8% a combination of the 5 minor alkaloids)

I think dropping nicotine either 10% or 5%

Have a few days before mixing. Would like to step down for vaperversary next week

mixed 37mg with 3.5ml WTA instead of 40 and 4

I got into Locksport in June, and have been specializing in safe lock manipulation (manually decoding the combination by feel and or sound without destructive entry) a subset of Safe-cracking. Being born a hacker I find it very satisfying. I managed to get my hands on 2 rare Fichet Monocommande French safe locks. As I cleaned the older one I could see that it was a thing of beauty both mechanically and if properly restored aesthetically since it had many more brass components than the other one. I spent many hours cleaning and polishing and made an acrylic back cover so the mechanism was visible. I used the skills I learned working with the acrylic pinch and some new ones to make an acrylic mount for it. While not perfect I learned a few things to apply to the next acrylic project to reduce those imperfections.

Here is the result:

That's funny ... you use 0.5%, and are down to 12
I used 1% and I'm down to 6, and it took me 7 years.
I have NO plans on dropping it any more.
I have days I can go without vaping, and then days I don't put it down ...weird.
I wonder some times if it's more "hand to mouth", and stress, than addiction.
In any case, I'm good where I'm at.

I did a lot of snorkeling last time we went to Maui. Didn't see a single shark, but that was also in the off season. It was the end of their summer when we got married there.

Beautiful, didn't want to leave.

One of my sons lives in Hawii, coming to visit on the 3rd. 2nd time in a year, makes me wonder if he's thinking about moving back. This time though he will get a reminder of Washingtons winter weather.

How do you tell when its winter in Washington?

The rain is colder. (We have had a couple good summers recently though) :p
