Unfortunately I didn't find this amazing place before I got a bunch of juice, lol. I might get a bottle of nicotine so I can add some to increase the strength in the high stress times. The Euro stuff I've found is super strong so a bottle should last me a long time.
The bottle I got with my first kit was 12 100%PG and It didn't agree with me at all. I thought it was just too strong and got my juice in 6. Then I discovered that I had a bad reaction to PG so went to a 60PG 40VG and it's much better.
All trial and error eh?

0 mg is definitely cheaper. went around to one of the local cancer stores near me, because vape store was closed. found 10 ml bottles of "tsunami" e-juice for like 2.99 over the counter.(blueberry, vanilla, and one other) first week was a little strange. 2 weeks in i was totally free. these days i have to occasionally remind myself that i don't smoke anymore, and if i forget to take my PV, it's not the end of the world. priceless.
Wow, I am not a reader and usually scan or search for a topic I am interested in. I have actually sat down and read this whole thread and love it. jfalbanese, thank you for your documentation and inspiration to me. I have been reading the better posts to my wife as I go. I was an on again off again vaper for about a year now and recently made the choice to upgrade to a mod. The higher voltage and bigger hits help around triggers like coffee and beer, but I can turn it down for long vape times like TV watching etc. I think that is where the ecig sticks failed before cause I would burn them up before the satisfaction would kick in. I hope to eventually follow your trek down to 0mg but for now I'm still fighting the tobacco side as I broke my cheap mod and zmax hasn't got here yet. Hope the 808 sticks can get me thru till then. lol
Ive been trying to wean myself off nic... but I'm still at 18mg . Use to be a pack/day smoker then I started vaping for 3 months now? I've tried 12 but it isn't enough for me just yet. Friends even tried lying to me and said they got a juice that was 18mg, but I knew the difference instantly :/ maybe cause I just started vaping that I'm still dependent on nic ...I first thought it was oral fixation, man was I wrong. But I know eventually I'll be able to do it 
if I can you can!
if I can you can! 
I'm interested in that list of flavorings that work with vaping. I'd like to mix my own simple no nic juice. I'm also interested in trying other people's no nic juice. I have had some brands of juice that are just nasty. Not trying to point anyone in particular out here but Zeus Juice is great and Mr. Vape juice is awful (for me). If anyone has some quality 0 nic juice but the particular flavor does not appeal to you, send me a quick note, maybe we can work something out for a swap.
I have two prefill cartos of 24mg menthol for emergencies. The throat hit is enough to discourage me from wanting any more.
i did nothing. you did it. looking beyond what has been drummed into us for so long. just look at all the angst ridden posts about nicotine, or the lack thereof. what joy today. i left my house three times today. every time i forgot my PV. every time i reminded myself it was ok, no big deal, gone for hours at a time, and it didn't bother me in the least. that's real freedom. we are well trained slaves to the drug side effect of tobacco. and that is how big tobacco wants it. that is how the tax man wants it. at 0 nicotine there is no sin tax to stress, unless they put a sin tax on pg/vg. (you see what i mean.) all i know i'm not picking the PV for hours at a time. just a matter of time for stopping vaping also. and no nasty withdrawal from pg/vg. (it gets better and better)
0mg I would assume is most people's goals.. but getting there is a whole different story lol
I started at 24mg and in 2 mo's I'm down to 12mg (which I feel great about since this is considered less nicotine than I was smoking with analogs)
I still use 18mg when I feel the need, but I feel 12mg is going to be my sticking point for a while and then gradually goto 6mg when the time is right.

man tell me about it! I just got my first RBA and loaded it with some 18mg and HOLY CRAP!!... nicotine high like a mother lol
had to sit down for a few minutes and let my brain rest after chain vaping that thing

If this qualifies as most people, it surely is a pretty slim margin...

The assumption that most people want to give up nicotine is no more valid than...
An assumption that most coffee drinkers want to give up caffeine.
Or I guess I should say that in a world without lies, it would be no different.
I remembered where the colour coded lorann list is, it's a sticky on the DIY juice area:
http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...rs-color-coded-complete-ingredients-list.html
If you want to have a go at mixing your own juice there's a whole world of flavourings out there - not just LorAnn but companies that are making concentrates specifically for the PV market. Come over to the DIY juice area and browse around: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/diy-e-liquid/ and start asking questions. We'll get you started.
DIY is very cheap - I worked out today that the 30ml batch of 16mg/ml that I made up on the weekend cost me about $2.60. I'm in Australia, it's all imported nic concentrate and flavourings. 30ml should last me a week but I'm liking it so much I'm using a lot. BTW DIY is also very useful for gradually reducing your nicotine because you can reduce it in tiny increments and you don't even notice the small drop. I started vaping at 24mg/ml, and got it down to 18mg/ml. For the last two weeks I've been mixing to 16mg/ml. I'll give it little more time then reduce it another 2ml, or maybe I should go down to 15 on the very next batch. That's the nice thing about DIY: complete flexibility. Eventually... 0 nic!

It's also possible that without nicotine vaping holds very little attraction; many people may have left us already. I never started vaping to give up nicotine, only to get my nicotine in a healthier way that kept me off cigarettes. Yet here I am reducing my nicotine at a rate that I am quite happy with.
Until they do some studies about using PV's as a smoking cessation tool we really won't know much for sure. Unfortunately I don't think this community is a good cross section of ex smokers to draw any conclusions from - we're obviously much more invested in vaping than 'most' of the people who are likely to try it. Queensland University are doing some studies on 'electronic cigarettes' this year, but I don't know what the scope of the study will be, and I haven't been able to find out who is even running it.
Hmm, you lost me there.

Been at zero for 3 months. The main difference is that since there's no nicotine, the quality of the juice has to be that much better for me to continue vaping.
I agree. I think a lot of people vape to stop smoking then stop vaping and never come back to ECF. Of course the folks who stick around here for the most part enjoy vaping. I really see nothing wrong with that. A minimal harm habit compared to smoking. But as you said I do not think this is an average cross section of all who took up vaping.
As an "always" no nic vaper I have found juice quality is really essential. There are three or four main brands I will buy next time because pretty much everyone loves them. I've tried to stay "cheap" but end up not using those juices.
