Is ecig express a legit online retailer? I think they're changing their name to flavor jungle or something like that
That sounds completely reasonable to me LOL you should see some of the stretches that I used to make myself more comfortable with Vape decisions I'm making. But ultimately I think I'll be quite happy that I've done the preparations that I have done I'm basically down to needing a few atomizers some VG flavorings and wire. Plus something portable. Most of those will probably always be available
Also as much as I would like to just keep things in their box and set them aside that practice has left me with more than one mod that went bad immediately after the warranty. So it's probably a good idea to use them within that warranty time
I went 2mg steps down to 18, then 1mg down to 10, then 0.5 mg. I also gave myself a month at any given level before considering the next drop. I stayed at 3 for some time, am now running 2. Steps down from here will only be 0.2 mg drops, though I'm in no rush.
It helps that I mix 500ml at a time, so I can use a graduated breaker for measuring. I don't sweat being +/- a fraction of an mg.
The Iris S kit should show today - I'm interested in seeing how that looks [emoji3]
Very legit. Have dealt with them many times. Yes, they're changing their business model, in response to WA laws that have basically decimated many vendors - i.e. NO flavored nic. Seems they're trying to move to a flavorings only shop, hoping to be able to stay afloat with that. Sad to see the change, and hope they make it. While not always the cheapest, for me, since they're "just up the road", I always got my orders in 2 days.
While it's no guarantee, of course, all my stash mods get unboxed and used for at least one full battery cycle before being stored. So at least I know that they did work. (I don't test any on-board chargers, since I always use external ones, so don't know if they have a fault in that area - but, for me, not an issue.)
I used 32 and 24mg liquids for several years. It was after I started diy that I started going down in nic strength. I went from my 32 to 24 fairly quickly and then after a year or so jumped down to 20. I stayed there for a while and now mix my base for mixing at 15 which makes my end result around 12mg with flavors. I still mix my menthol tobacco at 18mg for work since I can't vape much there but everything else is around 12mg. I honestly don't know if I'll be able to go lower or not. I should have plenty of nic to stay at 12 if that's the bottom line for me.
I made it from 24 mg to 12 mg over 9 years. I spent many years at 18 mg. If I somehow make it from 12mg to 6mg, my stash will definitely outlast me!
I agree with David. They are a good vendor. They have a vendor thread on ecf and lots of good recipes.
Oh yeah I don't ever check the charge port either since the only thing I would ever use it for as an update and I don't always do those either. Thank you for helping me with your experience on ecigexpress they have a sweet rice flavor that I'm pretty sure I can't get anywhere else lol
I started at 12mg but it was too strong for me out of the box. Bought a bottle of the same liquid at 6mg and mixed it with the 12 to get 9 mg (this is before I went to DIY) and it was still to strong for me. Went to 6 mg.
Once I started to DIY I walked myself down to 0 nic in a year. Stayed there for a year. Had enormous problems with anxiety and depression flaring back up again. Went up to 3 mg and the anxiety and depression almost completely disappeared. I have walked back down to 2mg at this point.
I suspect I am just one of those people whose brain is wired to need some nic. I planned my stash for 3mg so I have a bit of a buffer vaping at 2.
Given the nasty side effects I have with depression/anxiety meds using a bit of nic in my vape is a much better solution to the problem than prescriptions as far as I am concerned. No rush to drop my nic levels any farther.

I mix my base to 3mg but after adding flavors I am below 3, I am fine there and dropped from 6mg in 2016 to make my stash last longer 
I can vape as much as I want and no worries of over doing the nic intake. I am not sure if I will drop lower, I'll have to see down the line, but I am happy where I am at this point.

Well you may have $$ flowing your way later anyway. I kept thinking, "well, if my stock of 15 mods split between my wife and I don't make it, at least I can buy some mods off of BigPappa".
She went outside to take down Xmas decorations and I was able to try the .2ohm coils at 20W and it works great... kinda wishing I had got 60 boxes or more instead of 20, but they are sold out now and either way I can't safely order anything anymore without getting divorce papers.

WOW ! ! ! ! Really nice for "You" to finally notice . . . 
YEP - @JCinFLA - sure is "Perfect" in more ways then one too . . .
Matter of fact - IMHO - One that many more people should try to emulate, especially given her very humble ways of caring and helping others . . . Just Sayin' . . .
BTW: Not that @JCinFLA NEEDS to be defended at all, but she does have a lot more going for her then just being popular here on ECF/this thread and posting about sales and where to get "Stuff". She comes to the forefront to help more then just a few people in RL, while being extreamly informative about the "Vaping World" to those who need assistance. She actually - Talks the Talk and Walks the Walk . . . IMHO - She is a true "MENCH" . . . AND - Honestly deserve more "RESPECT" then she is being shown by some . . . Just Sayin' . . .

Yep!
I started at 18, with occasional hits of 24. Once I was sure I was done smoking, I bought some 12. Oops, not satisfying! Mixed it half and half with some 18 I had left to get 15, found that to be OK, and stuck with it for several years, including during the transition to DIY. Once my transition to DIY was complete, every time I mixed a big batch of vaping-strength base, I asked myself: Do I feel ready to go lower? Sometimes the answer is yes, and sometimes it's no. 15 down to 13 happened over the space of a couple of years in 0.5 mg steps, but then for whatever reason, for the last couple of years I decided I didn't really want to go lower and found myself "stuck" at 13. But just before Christmas, I decided I was ready again and made a batch of 12.5.
FWIW, I don't think it makes any sense at all to drop nic levels if the result is that you just vape more liquid to get the same amount of nicotine. I vape as much as I want, but I do watch my liquid consumption and factor it into the assessment of whether I'm ready to go lower.
I generally use 3 to 3.5mg and 3.6ml daily.
A while ago I tried 2mg after 2 days nic free. Eventually over the next 7 days my consumption in ml's rose to just over 5ml and I never really felt like I was satisfied.
Seems like 10 to 13mg (fb) a day is my happy place and 3 to 3.5mg is the dosage that keeps me happily at that daily consumption. Im okay with that for now.
In 2010 I started out at 42mg/mL. I could only buy 36mg/mL at that time. I quickly went DIY to get the nic level. I slowly weaned myself down to 2mg/mL and use 5-10mg/mL at work. For work mixes I use nic salt with tobacco flavoring. I plan on buying more Nic Salt before May 2020.
