Are you watching your Nic intake?

I'm on 18 now, and am paying no attention to nic intake, during the day it seems I've become a regular vaper at around 3-5ml/day. My next order will 12mg, etc etc. It's still early to say, but I think I'm over analogues. Now it's a matter of finding flavours I really, REALLY love, and sticking to those while dropping nicotine content. I'll keep the nic+ stuff I don't use, since I'd rather that then fall back on an analogue in a moment of weakness.

I'm really very sorry about your Son and I hope and pray his recovery is quick and complete. I tell converts not to worry about the future in regards to vaping as it's supposed to be stress free and enjoyable. Needless to say you have enough stress in your life and it looks like you're going about it in the right way. I smoked VERY strong analogs 1 PAD for 44 yrs. I don't drink, only have 25% sense of taste and smell so I LOVED/ worshiped my stinkies. Although I don't own a Volt I recommend it all the time. A solid PV and amazing customer service. After you get your Volt get a freebie here:

I've been vaping less than a week. Started on 24 cos thats what the starter pack I bought came with and am now vaping 18. I tend to vape more in the evenings after the kids are in bed - because I enjoy it, not because I need to. But I'm noticing that I'm getting a bit of a headache so I'm thinking about getting some really low nic carts (or even 0) just for that evening vape.
That WAS sort of vague.
But you might be interested in this poll...

Who, me? Yeah, probably
I hope to eventually lower my nic but i'm not too worried about that yet. Just aware of the headache that I'm putting down to too much nic at certain times. To me the big benefits of vaping is improved health and less financial strain. I can handle a little nicotine addiction. At least for now.
Nope, I don't monitor my nic intake, I have gone from 24 to 18 to 12 mg. I started direct dripping and noticed that it satisfies more than the ego-c and I am no longer chain vaping. I used to go through 3-4 ml a day, now I go through 1ml, sometimes 2 ml if it is my day off and I am bored. I imagine when my kids drive to their dads I will be back to chain vaping until they call and tell me they are there safely, it was during those times that I would chain smoke when on the analogs, went through 3 packs in 12 hours.
I'm happy at 18 mg. if I get a headache I put it down. At this point only just over a month completely w/o analogs I'm just happy to get rid of the tar, smell and chemicals! I just plain enjoy vaping and definitely have started to look at it as a hobby.
I've left the dangerous, life-threatening part of my addiction in the dirt, and have no conscious intention or plans to decrease my nic level or the amount I vape. If it happens, it happens; if not, I'm happier and definitely healthier regardless.
I started at 36mg and I'm now using 4mg I slowly went down 2mg at a time I really never noticed the drop
I do not plan on quitting or dropping my nicotine levels. I might in the future, but to set a goal like that at this time seems like an extra challenge I don't want.
I think I need to watch it a little better at night,,,,,next to no sleep 2 days in a row. someone shoot me now.
Luckily it's easier for me to watch my nicotine level because I still use prefilled cartomizers for the KR808D-1s and D-2s. If the sites are right, and each cartomizer is about 1.5 packs of cigarettes (I think it's more like .75 to 1 pack), then my nicotine intake is higher than it was when I smoked cigarettes. I was a half a pack to .75 a pack a day smoker with regs. Now, I go through a cartomizer and a half a day. 1.5 cartos. I think I'm going to regulate it more.
I know part of it is because with regs I had to go outside to smoke. And, since I don't want to go all the way downstairs just to smoke, I would curb my crazing. Now, I vape anywhere at anytime.
Yep, a little more regulating is needed on my part.

If one is not interested in throat hit or rather the "inhaled feel" of the real thing, then using 0 nicotine should not be a problem.
If throat hit is important to your vaping experience, then low nic or 0 nic will not work for you. There are no additives that truely simulate throat hit provided mostly by nicotine.

I started vaping a month ago and stopped smoking the same time almost immediately (I was absolutely amazed how easy it was). I’ve got some 18mg in my starter kit and was very happy with it vaping at home. But at work I still vape outdoors and with 18mg it takes too long for me in order to get satisfied, too long for a break at work. So I started to use 36mg at work. I fill the difference a lot; actually I like 36mg more. But I still vape 18mg at home, 36mg seems to be too strong for me for constant use. It’s unlikely that I ever want to go less than 18mg, I would rather vape less.
I have thought about the nicotine level when I first started at 24mg and i was grabbing device constantly, 2 packs of Newport a day will do that to you. Went to 36mg and now it has been 4 weeks and I am comfortably back at 24mg. I know I will be at a high level like this for a while and it will probably be a good 6 months before I start going down any more. I took the first step and stopped the analogs, that is enough for right now. I am enjoying this vaping actually more than smoking and I can breath again. In a good place right now.
I'm not monitoring my Nic intake and I'm certainly not trying to ween myself off nic. I treat ecigs as a smoking alternative not a smoking cessation device.
I would say I monitor my nic level in the same way as I monitor my alcohol level. I am not an alcoholic in any way but I am not a teetotal either.

The site isn't right, and there is no way a cartomizer is equal to 1.5 packs of cigarettes.
More like 8 cigarettes maybe.
I am pretty sure that the vendor you buy those from would not even be allowed to register here.
ECF does not take vendors that make false or misleading claims.
It's a regular claim I've been reading. "300-350 puffs" per cartridge. Main issue is a regular puff is not going to cut it with ecigs. There's also no way I went from 1 pack up to 4 packs (easily 3 full cartos, if not more) a day without feeling it, so there's probably some other fuzzy numbers in there.
