Anyone been lowering nic levels?

[jeffree]

I promised myself that after a year I'd begin dropping the nic level. I've had a good long run at 18mg but like the idea of getting to 0mg this year. No big deal really, but feels like the right time. I'm thinking of going to 8, then 4, then 0. Or maybe just stay at 4 until next year?

Just wondering who else has been doing the same and how it's been going. In particular, are you going down gradually or full tilt? Any tips?

Edit: Woah, my 1000th post? The stars are aligning!

I like my Parliament in 24mg, but I've bought them in 18mg and still really liked them! I went to try wOw cowboy and the highest nic level they had was 8mg, so I bought a pack. I was surprised that I still really enjoyed the flavor...I NEVER missed the nic.

The next time I bought wOw cowboy, I bought 24mg and it was WAY too strong! So I bought VG-cowboy in 18 and it's a bit mild! I was not expecting such a large variation!

Happy 1000th post!
I have been vaping 18mg since the get go. Don't know if/when I'll drop. After smoking for 35 years (unplanned event), I'm not really planning a change in my vaping habits other than making sure I have enough Wowboy on hand.

Congrats on the 1000th post Jeffree sir. I just can't see myself lowering my nic intake anytime soon. It's between 24 and 36mg right now, at 18 no one wants to deal with me....

I went from 30 to 24 to 18 mg and now I want to drop more but don't know if I will like it. Altho when I tried 30 and 24 again it was too strong so maybe the next order will be 16 mgs. I have plenty other higher so if I don't like I figure I can ad more of the higher nic juice.

I started at 24mg 6 months ago. I just recently stepped down to 18mg. It took about a week to get used to the lower nic, but it is great now. I still have a little bit of 24mg for those "really bad" days. I plan to step down again in the next few months.

Started at 24mg. Now use 24mg in the a.m., 18mg in the afternoon/evening. Have been experimenting with 18mg/11mg in the afternoon/evening to see if I can lower my nicotine w/o having adverse affects. So far, so good. Would like to lower it to 0mg at some point, but I'm not in any hurry. Just happy to not be smoking anymore, so I'm trying not to worry the 'nicotine' thing too much ;-)

had to go up actually ....started with 11 but got to the point is wasnt fixing my crave and i was having dreams that i was smoking cigs and ahhh!! had to goto 18mg, been fine now.

Having tried the 18mg, I settled on the 11mg when I started. Been doing 11mg for awhile. My last order I got some 8mg. Dropping down didn't bother me at all. In fact I found the lower nic made the flavor of the juice a little bit more tasty. I don't know it that's just me or that's how the taste thing works ? I do plan on stepping down again in a few months. Until I reach 0 nic. I can't wait to see how nice it tastes then !

Congrats on 1000 posts!!

I am pretty happy at 18mg and haven't really planned to decrease nic.
My SIL tried going from 24mg to 18mg and ended up back at 24mg. I definitely recommend keeping some of your higher nic around at first just in case the cravings hit you harder than you expect.

Went from 18 to 12 then up to 24 which seems about right for French Pipe. I also vape peppermint and was just hogging it at 12, so upped to 24 and can't see any real difference. I vape peppermint in the evenings and 0 nick gives me the same satisfaction. So I guess it is what flavor you are using that will set your nic level.

I started at 24mg almost a month ago and went to 18mg when I placed a bulk order for juice. The 24 was a bit too much for me. I plan to stick with 18 for as long as I feel like and maybe get a 12-14 into the mix eventually.

When I first bought my V4L kit six weeks ago, I ordered a bunch of 18mg carts to go with it. Well, I went through some pretty serious withdrawal symptoms the first few days so I figured I might as well go ahead and drop to 0mg and get this whole nicotine addiction over with. Fortunately, I didn't have any additional withdrawal symptoms on 0mg, so I have been vaping it ever since.

Just in the last few months I'm vaping 11 mg instead of 18, and it's working out fine. I've always had some 8 and 4 mg to vape before i go to sleep, but last night i tried a 0mg for the first time ( it was a bonus carto ). I slept much better using the 0 mg so will def be ordering some next time!

 

[Juicehead]

I bought my girlfriend some 0mg blueberry because she would constantly ask me for my blueberry and she doesn't smoke at all.

The 0mg is surprisingly satisfying! This probably depends on the flavor, but I can definitely see myself switching eventually.

My plan is to eventually have a lineup of 0mg that I can take with me for social situations, when its the hardest to not have an analog

 

[ValleyGirl]

I've upped mine from 18mg to 24mg. There I said it.

Question...do the lower nic juices give less TH and vapor production???
