ANOTHER nicotine reduction?

[michaelsil1]

I'm vaping 24mg and would like to go down I was a three pack a day smoker, how long did you wait before dropping the Nicotine level?

I've been at 12mg for over a year now. I feel like I should drop down to 8 or 6.

I would say as soon as you are comfortable with that level. Like-- it was all or nothing for me.

Good Luck Rachy. I've dropped from 18 to 12.

Congrats Rachy! Good job! And the others who've lowered their nic, too! As for michaelsil1's question: I waited only about a month to drop from 24mg. to 18mg. then another month to drop to 12mg. due to a nicotine overdose scare. I stayed at 12mg. for a little while, but then 2 months later I started my march down for real. I went really slow...buying two of the same flavor juices at different mg. levels and mixing them to make graduated steps down. When I'd gotten to 6mg last summer (after about 9 months since I started) I started DIY...that gave me even more control. Since July 2012 I've gone from 6mg. on down to 4mg in Oct. and stayed there until the first of this month when I stepped a tiny step down to 3.5mg.

Even that little bit of a step I can tell I'm vaping a bit more again...which happens every time I move down another notch. It'll level out. And I have to keep reminding myself it's no big deal...I'm so low now that I only have to use a few ml. of nic base for a 60ml. bottle...and so it's not at all expensive. I'll just keep vaping as much as I need to until my body adjusts to the lower level...and I'll be fine. I'm stepping down much slower now...it's not "hard"...but I don't want to rush anything!

I went from 18 mg to almost zero in about 10 months. I stayed at 18 for the first 3. Those were the hardest because I was having cravings for smokes. I think after about 6 months I probably could have moved the nic down a lot faster than I did. I was a pack a day smoker for 37 years.

Im dropping to 18 from 24. Hopefully, I can take it down to 12 in a months time and take it from there.

Congratulations how long has it been since you quit the analogs?

Thanks. It's been just over a month. ECF has helped a bunch, knowing that there are so many others out there doing the same.

Have attempted to quit smoking many times during the past 3 decades. However, it feels right this time.
