i went from 24 to 12 and i was ok till i switched to a different flavor and 12 didnt cut it had to go to 18 on that one so i think it will have to do with the juice and the day i find some days i am vaping 10 and i did a couple ddays with no nic at all so for me it is a lot of different things 24 days now and dont ever want a analog ever again LOVE vaping

When I quit smoking I went immediately to 6mg (or whatever lowest available for each juice). Just having the vapor and hand to mouth was more important to me, oddly enough. Also I tend to chain vape and I feel less guilty about it with a lesser amount of nicotine.

I started on 18mg and now I am am getting it down to 6mg, I'm pretty nervous about the drop but as you've said, I I'd feel less guilty about vaping constantly
B-)

All my juices are 18 mg. For my nighttime vape after 6 pm, I cut it in half with VG to 9 mg nic to sleep better. Found I needed more intense flavor since it's diluted so I bought a bottle of LorAnn flavoring to try. 9 mg doesn't bother me at all, and I'm no longer waking several times during the night. I can see myself cutting my daytime nic in the future now without a problem.

-I started at 24mg first thing in the morning and then down to 18mg all day...This lasted about 2-3 weeks.
-Then I used 18mg all day...This lasted about 2-3 weeks.
-Then I started using 18mg on a morning and 11mg at night (to try and help me sleep) but I quickly realised that there was still a load of 11mg in my cartomiser the next morning and maybe 18mg was getting too high
-I was using 11mg all day for about 2 weeks but my usual supplier only stocks 8mg and it was there in which the trouble lay!

I wonder if it was because it wasn't my choice to drop that much, that soon but I was getting majorly bad cravings and spent a lovely evening back on 18mg as a result!

I'm now DIYing 12mg and will be taking down the mg one step at a time, whenever I feel ready. In the meantime, I'm gonna stick with 12mg for a couple of months and then start weaning myself down again.

It really is all about what feels right for you at the right time :)

i noticed when i lowered my nic that i just vaped more so went back to just using 18mg, considering we know nic is relatively safe its the flavorings and vg/pg that we are unsure on how safe they are on our lungs. at this point i would rather get my nic in less puffs and dont really have any plans of stopping vaping as i would probably relapse anyways as i always did with smoking,i have an addictive nature.
