Does eveyone manage to drop their nic levels?

[roxynoodle]

Or do some get stuck? Or drop it, but chain vape instead?

Guessing a person could even take in more nic if they turn into a chain vapin' foo' lol!

I started at 18 and now vape 6. No plans at this time to go any lower, but I have vaped some 0 nic samples and didn't have any negative effects. I don't think I'll have any trouble going completely to 0 nic should the FDA get tricky.

 

[roxynoodle]

How long did it take you to get there?

I find myself increasingly sensitive to 18mg - still love it but won't order any more of it. Going to 12. Have some 12 on hand and need to vape a little more but I'd rather need to vape more than get the spins and not be able to vape for a few minutes

I was smoking half a pack a day of Newports, which have a lot of nicotine. I started vaping at 18mg and almost immediately dropped to 12mg. I vaped at that level for about 2 months and for the last 3 months I've been vaping 6mg with the exception of ACB which I love at 12mg. I find my head "swims" less when I have less nicotine and I can vape on an empty stomach a lot easier at that level, too. Also, since the throat hit is less I can take bigger puffs and get a ton of flavor. I don't know if I'll every go lower or to 0mg but I'm real happy at 6mg.

I was able to drop from 24 to 6 but some of that was switching to RDA's. My dad has stayed at 24 even though he has switched from iClears to an RSST. I think it all depends on if you want to try and drop your levels or not

I've been vaping exclusively since April 1st. I am finally ready for a nic drop (getting a nic high when I vape) but since I have 2 years of juice stocked up I'll have to thin it out to drop my nic. I have no plans to quit eventually quit vaping or to go 0, but if 0 happens it happens. I have too much invested between juice and mods to quit

I got into vaping *hoping* I could drop nic but not about to stress myself out about doing so. Started at 12, couldn't put the PV down. Went up to 18, still chain vaped a lot but could put it down and walk away whenever I needed to (including going to the store etc without needing to bring it with me). After about 6 months, I dropped back down to 12 comfortably. Then I got a rebuildable dripper and dropped to 6 within a week. I still vape the same way - chain vape for 20-30 minutes, then set it down for a while - so over time, and with more efficient equipment, I have successfully dropped my nic. I still keep 18 and 12 around for emergencies, and for when I'm in situations where chain vaping isn't an option.

After 50 some years of smoking (thank you Uncle Sam, you made it real easy and cheap) I switch to e-cigs 7 or 8 months ago. Started out an 18mg, quickly followed by 12 mgs a month or so latter. Now I'm switching back and forth between 12 and 6 mg, but all future NT juices will probably be 6's. I do chain vape though....probably should start using some junk juice.

 

[Zanaspus]

I am at max nic and never plan to drop. I rather enjoy a nicotine buzz.

 

[Cullin Kin]

Started at 16mg and now I'm at 1mg. There's pretty much no point in putting nicotine in my juice anymore so I will likely drop it soon. Switching to dripping on an RDA really helped me cut nicotine levels. Really had no problems at all through this entire taper. The best part about cutting nicotine levels? The flavor of e-juice with ever smaller presences of nicotine.

I started at 18 and kept some 24 on hand for when my cravings got bad. I have been vaping almost a year and the only reason that I have just recently gone down to 12 was the fact that I bought a REO. I could have still vaped the 18 (I did it for a few days) but everyone told me that I would need to go down so I bought some 12. When I tried the 12 I really couldn't tell much of a difference so I just switched.

 

[Harlen]

Started at 36 mg down to 6mg now so yes you can but slowly down is the way to go

 

[rhnda1225]

I started at 18 two months ago and am down to 6!

 

[serenity21899]

Just over a year and a half of vaping I have gone from 18mg down to 6mg. Some of this is because I wanted to, and some because I mostly use Kayfuns and drippers which just hit harder (therefore less nic is needed).

But everyone is different, and there are not definitive rules about how much nic one wants/needs. Whatever feels right to you is what you should be doing.

 

[wjosephsimmons]

24mg has always been the right amount for me, since I started last November. Since it costs the same as 0mg nic anyway, if I want less I just vape less often.

 

[Rossum]

No, not everyone, at least not in a big way. I smoked for 36 years, 2 PAD for the last decade or so. I started at 18 mg last December with some occasional toots of 24 for cravings. After a few weeks, I thought I'd try dropping to 12 and started getting cravings again. So I mixed the 12 50/50 with 18 getting me 15 and that's where I've been ever since. In the meanwhile, I've gone from clearos to Kayfuns to bottom-feeders and keep wondering: What is this "nic buzz" of which people speak?

Same, and I had to drop fast because I chain vape and it was getting ugly.

PAD smoker for 35 years. Started vaping March 6 but wasn't completely off the cigs til May 5. I'm using 18mg and sometimes I still have cravings. So I'm pretty sure I'm not ready.

Roxy I'd find some 24 just for those cravings...something, anything would be better than smokes!
