Began at 24 to currently 18, but I only use 2.5 mls a day.

Definitely interested in this thread.
I remember a couple years ago I was excited about dropping from 3 to 0. Had the day set, looked forward to it....when it arrived, it felt odd...after the first day I was a mess...kept feeling anxious and off...kept forgetting things. I didn't have the nic withdrawal I had from cigarettes ...it was odd.
I've been sick a few times where I couldn't vape...no problem....trying to go to 0...weirdness. like I psyched myself out.
I think personally if I'm going to 0, I may quit entirely
If you do go down the 0 path, best of luck and I hope you find others

Oh I withdraw like a chocolate bunny in hell trust me. My world crashes down like a brick house dropped from the clouds. I get panic attacks so bad my heart probably has tears from the last time I tried to cut down without following my steps. To put it allegorically, music tastes like mud when I quit nicotine, and warm sun light looks like hospital bathroom .........
I figured if i ever were to try quitting, i'd vape less !, rather than lowering how much nicotine i'm using. The point being i like a nicotine hit, and a reduction makes vaping pointless for me.

I can't really step down with you because my primary addiction isn't nicotine even though it used to be. I have more of a hand-to-mouth sort of addiction and I know that because I regularly just grab a bottle of juice between 0 mg and 3 and use it and I do not ever notice any ill effects of a 0 milligram. But I can cheer you on. I know you can do it. I used to be very physically addicted to nicotine as well and 5 years later I don't have any physical reaction like I said. I just don't like to waste juice otherwise I would happily pitch all of my nicotine-containing product. And since it doesn't seem to cause me to fall off the wagon so to speak I'm just going to use it until it's no more and then just keep on making 0 milligram. I think it's good that you have a plan and I think it sounds like a good plan. So I wish you and anyone that wishes to join you the best of luck and remember it's a process and that there's a goal but you cannot allow yourself to get too down on yourself if you're struggling 
Good luck my friend, after 5 years of vaping I've cut my nic down to 1mg. I can go 0mg for a few days but tend to chain vape alot so I'm satisfied with 1mg for now.
I'd be shopping around for a new insurance company if you have that option. If it's a workplace policy you might not have an option.
I uh well I hope this isn't mean but this thread is like the internet version of trying to quit with your spouse.
Dude, I forbade the husband to even try ecigs for a while.... It didn't take anyway. His cigarettes are WAY less triggering than his MOOD when he tries to switch from tobacco. LOL.

So glad I read this. They told me when I quit vaping for three months I can be classified as a non smoker again! I think as soon as I go zero nic for three months I will change my status!
Hi, Interesting idea and props for the initiative. However, I feel that its way too early for me to attempt anything like that, I only quit smoking in May this year.
There would also be a problem with the interval between waking up and vaping liquid with nic. My day at the moment begins like this:
1. The alarm in my phone goes off. I switch it off
2. 5 min later the second alarm goes off. I switch it off
3. 3rd alarm goes off. I have to face the reality- it's time to get up. First thing I do is drink a pint of water (always there next to my bed). Then immediately I vape like 10 puffs in short intervals. After that I'm awake and ready to get up!
I agree. Another example of how people get penalised for being honest. But not everything is lost, @57chilicat you could always try to change your policy- tell your insurer that you've managed to quit vaping. And like UncleJuncle said, there's no tests that could detect 0mg vaping
Caffeine and Nicotine ... Sometimes I wonder if drinking coffee and cola drinks all day long are a similar issue, especially when you consider the sugar shot.
I view vaping vs smoking as a health improvement. Vaping took away my 2 PAD cigarette habit back in 2010.
I recently had a CT Scan as part of a physical and my lungs are clear. I smoked for decades. When I smoked there were hazy areas that doctors blamed on smoking residue. Those hazy areas are gone after years of vaping.

When I stepped down gradually from 24mg to 0mg I was fine until I hit 0mg. The vape without a little nic was boring and no longer satisfied. I stepped back up to 3mg and my brain was happy with a little nic. I've been at 3mg since mid 2010 and all is well. For me, the difference between 0 nic and 3mg nic was dramatically significant.
