It's really all about how much vapour the attie produces. More vapour = more nicotine.
I doubt if you would notice a drop from 1.8mg to 1.5mg.
I dropped from 1.8 to 1.2 without really noticing a difference.
My trouble is that i find that the airier the draw is the less satisfaction i get regardless of nicotine level. I guess you'll just have to experiment.
If you're comfortable doing it, you could try buying the smallest bottle of nic solution available and experimenting. Try 1.2mg and if it doesn't satisfy you could drop ONE drop of nic solution into it and keep trying till it works for you.
You could also try dropping a touch of menthol, cinnamon or even vodka into the mix to increase the throat hit....

Would there be a big difference dropping down to 15mg on a nautilus mini with 50/50 juice compared to 18mg on an evod tank/kanger mow tank with 50/50 juice?

Tried 12mg on the evod/kanger mow and it wasn't strong enough.

I wouldn't recommend it if you a a new vaper. I started out with 12 mg. nicotine and I was constantly, almost desperately puffing, and I still smoked a few analogs each day. That was on a couple of starter e cigs I had. The owner of the vape shop I frequented, told me I wasn't getting enough nicotine, that's why I was constantly puffing and not feeling satisfied. I went up to 16 mg. and that helped a lot, but it wasn't quite enough, so I went up to 18 mg. and I haven't smoked an analog since. My nic craving is satisfied without constantly puffing. I still use one of my starter kits some, but I bought a 20 wat and two 30 wat mods that are all topped with Nautilus Minis. I don't notice feel like I need a different nicotine level in either my starter kit e cig or my other ones. Everyone is different, but I can't imagine you'd need a different nic level unless you are blowing big clouds or sub ohming or something else I have no understanding of.

Adding on to say I have always stuck to juices that are pretty close to 50/50 pg/vg, so I can't answer you about what a difference that might make to you.

Good luck with your vape and enjoy!

Why are you dropping? I agree with JustWondering... if you are a relatively new vapist I think the worst thing you can do is risk relapsing in an attempt to arbitrarily drop your nic level.

Nic is not evil. Here is some reading about nic propaganda...

Depends on the power level, and this the amount of vapor, you vape the nautilus mini at. I went from 24 to 36 on evods to 24mg on nautilus mini's at 8 watts, that's what I needed at the time. A year later I'm at 18mg with one tank at24 mg as a backup for quick hits. Try what you want and find out what works but better keep 18mg around.
