Did anyone else use low-nic liquid when you first started vaping?

[Caterpiller]

After 25 years of at least PAD, I have been Tootle Puffing my istick 20w and nautilus Mini at 6.8w with 12mg nic.

I still need to take vape breaks every 2 to 2.5 hrs at work (as I did when smoking), and vape every hour or so in my free time.

I'm getting through about 4 to 5 ml a day at the moment, and my nic craving feels much the same as when I smoked.

I still need patches when I fly.

I'd like to drop the nic down to 6mg at some point, mainly to get less throat hit and better flavour, but I'll stick with the 12mg for a few more months to ensure I don't go back to stinkies.

I started at 6mg and am still using 6mg, I doubt I'll ever change it.

Started at 18-20mg.ml, now at 10mg/ml when vaping at 1.5-2ohms, If I vaped at lower than 1.5ohms I need use 3-6mg and when I vape above 2ohm I need higher concentration in the juice and use 12+mg/ml.

FWIW, My daily dosage tends to stay about the same, regardless of the MG/ML in the juice. This leads me to believe that coil temp and QUANTITY vaped, are very important to determining needed MG/ML.

I started at 9mg, 3 years ago. Now I am anywhere between 7-9 depending on my mix. I mix myself and I am not exact with my measurements. 50% unflavored 12mg and 50% unflavored 3mg = whatever the % when I put them in.

 

[Spidey2011]

Started at 30, then backed down to 18, now I'm at 10-12. Any lower and I get very little throat hit, so this is where I'm gonna stay. Lol.

I was a 2 pack a day smoker and started out on the infamous dual ego/CE4 combo... 24nic is what I was on, I wore those CE4's out in no time haha.

 

[dms25]

10-15 rollies a day smoker:
-15mg for 1 month
-12mg for 4 months
-9mg for 1 month
-6mg since 6 months now
1 year vaping coming up in a couple of days, might step down to 3mg at some point this year but I'm not in a rush.

 

[VaperDynasty]

Started at 9 nic moved down to 6 now i usually vape around 3 or 6 nic

I started vaping when the equipment was not so hot. 36mg was my level. As time went by, the equipment got better and better. I now vape 12 mg mouth to lung. Lung hit at 6mg. I have no intentions of weening down. I love this clean delivery of nicotine

 

[AndriaD]

I also have no intention and no interest in lowering/eliminating my nicotine, except *maybe* lowering it a bit in the winter to help my cold hands and feet. That's about the only negative way that nicotine affects me. Can't see any benefit in doing without it.

many new vapers seem to think that to get a lot of nicotine, they need a high mg nicotine juice.

 

[Firestorm]

I started at 12mg, dropped down to 9mg, and I've been at 6mg for a while.

 

[Jorge22]

Interesting. I started at just 3 mg. Then I changed to 12 mg after having had a chat with a vendor and it seems to be the miligrams that give me the kind of taste I want from any juice. That was 4 years ago. I've tried 8 mg, 6 mg, 0 mg, it always tastes worse to me, like the flavour disappears and, yes, I know people say you get more flavour with less nic - go figure! On the flip side, 18 mg or 24 mg, anything like that is way too much for me and always has been. I was a pack and a half smoker (unfortunately, although I actually enjoyed smoking) back in the days.

[beckdg]

I can certainly relate.

Highest nic I could get a hold of as a noon was 36mg/ml.

Bounced between that and 18 in stages until I figured out it just wasn't cutting it... by a far stretch.

Got better gear and diy and now all is good.

Started smoking at 10 years old? Wtf.

 

[LouisLeBeau]

It was a different world back then. I started smoking in the 6th grade. By the 8th, my folks figured it out and allowed me to smoke in the house. And they were very strict parents otherwise. I'm talking azz whuppins for a C grade, and lock you in your room until you had your multiplication tables memorized. My dad is 85 now, smoker and fat. Healthy as a horse. Life is a lottery.

 

[hambone0424]

It was the 80s man his mom was a nirse and barely ever home has an older brother 4 years older so he started smokin n drinkin n so did my dad i mean dofferent world he was 15 when i was born think about that for a second quit school and started roofing/construction

 

[hambone0424]

Not all is bad hes now quitting smokes and started vaping and owns his own construction company so it worked out i guess but by 91 he had his own apartment and a family and a mean tobacco habbit its now 2015 and he can now say hes an ex smoker
