From 18mg to 6~8mg in three days and happy

[InfinityzeN]

So I started on 18mg and almost instantly realised that was to strong. Since I planned ahead I had plenty to 12mg and 8/6mg juice. Actually all my really good stuff is 6mg since I figured I would go down and wanted to save the good stuff for after I had gotten over the initial jitters.

Well, I cut my 18mg starter juice 50/50 with 8mg and that iswhat I used for the first three days. It was still a little strong though because if I did more than a few puffs every hour (I restricted myself to once an hour) I would feel that nic buzz.

So today I broke out a DDA and some Five Pawns Bowden's Mate in 6mg. I don't know if it is from the DDA or just because the Five Pawns is that good but I can't stop dripping this thing. Best thing is that even dripping for the last two hours every 10~20 minutes I only feel the lightest touch of nic.

I'm really tempted to fill up a Naut mini with it but don't know if that will waste such good and expensive juice.

How could it be a waste if it's a good juice, unless you have problems with your Nautilus mini? I say, go for it and ENJOY!

Lots of people think that they need strong nic juices, and that's probably true when you are coming off a pack or 2 pack a day habit. Once you get off the cigarettes and vape for a period of time the nic addiction lessens, since you aren't getting all the natural and added chemicals that enhance the addictive properties.

I vaped 24mg juice for a couple of years before I decided to drop my nic level. I went to 18mg for a week, then dropped to 12mg for a week, then to 6mg. It was a piece of cake, but I had been off cigarettes for so long that I wasn't strongly addicted to nic like I was when I smoked the tobacco company cocktail.

I probably could have done that within months of starting to vape, just like I could have quit those last few cigs I retained while vaping. I just thought I needed them. The truth was that once I decided to quit those last few it was a piece of cake.

I went from 3 nic to zero dripping sub-ohm at low res. The hit strength covers for the lack of nicotine. Nothing taste like zero nic.

Way cool

Funny you mention that, I just spent my morning mixing my 12mg with 6mg to make 9mg. It will be my first step down, I'm almost at the two month mark. I don't anticipate any problems, but I still have 12mg left if I have any trouble. Strange, but I think at times the 12mg may now be too much. I'll just keep mixing them down so I don't waste my precious juice! LOL. Good luck to you! ENJOY!! Amazing isn't it?

Considering that I set aside what I spend on smokes in a year as my budget, I really don't want to waste any juice. Thats why I got all the good stuff at 6mg. I looked at my spreadsheet and you don't want to know the total on juice.

You and me both! As I was playing mad scientist this morning mixing my MGs, I realized I have over a year supply of juice. Yup, I went a little crazy but I will be using every drop! I'm absolutely in the negative column with money so far, but I feel 100% better already!

When I went from burners to ecigs, I started at 18mg and within a week I was down to 6mg. Mainly because I like tinkering with things and soon found out about dripping!

Well I'm just about to take the plunge. Just ordered a heap of 18mg juice because I'm on 24mg at the moment and want to see if I can come down. Still got a good bit of juice at 24mg so I ordered a few of my favorites in the lower nic so if necessary I can mix the 18mg up a bit.

Think I'm ready to reduce but not going to worry if it doesn't happen too quickly there is no rush.

I've not had any indication of too much nicotine just a slight peppery after taste after vaping, makes me think maybe lower nicotine will resolve this. Going to give it a try anyway.

Happy vaping.

I just got my set up 2 days ago and got 2 kinds of 18mg and 2 kinds of 12mg. I've tried one of each, and the 18 seems too strong (coming off a pack a day habit, full strength cigarettes). I'm shocked! So, I don't really want to waste my 18mg juices, either, and it never occurred to me to mix a lower strength juice with it. D'oh! I'll be heading out this weekend to get a couple of 0 or 6mg juices to mix. Thanks for the ideas!! If the juice is already in the tank/clearomizer, can I just add some to that and twirl it, or do I need to mix it in a bottle and then fill the tank?

 

[Mrs C]

You can do it either way. Which ever works best for you.

 

[KeirasMom]

Thank you, Mrs C!

I just dropped my main juice from 18 to 12 after six weeks of no analogs and loved the flavor increase. Cant wait to get to ZERO

 

[Lord Trazaza]

I smoked half a pack a day and started at 24mg...oh man that was a lot. I've switched to 12mg and plan to stay there. I do enjoy nicotine and don't know if I'd ever go to 0mg. Has anyone noticed a difference in buzzes? Because I never smoked cigs often, I'd often get a strong nicotine buzz. Like foggy and stumbly sometimes. All the 24mg did was make me feel kinda fatigued and sick...

 

[InfinityzeN]

6mg is where I plan to stay for a while on my normal juices and 3mg on my drip juices. Both because I got a ton of it and I like the nicotine hit. I don't think I'll ever go down to 0mg, since at that point I'll just stop all together.

I was a pack a day smoker and started vaping 18mg on clearos. I am now vaping rda's and rta's. Once I started using these devices that produce tons more vapor I dropped nicotine way down. I mix my own juice and have dropped down to 4mg with a goal of 2mg in the near future.

I do vape about 4-5ml /day now compared to the 1.5-2ml/day previously on the clearos.

 

[KeirasMom]

I just ordered a few new juices in 6 mg (from AVE) and one more 12 mg. The 18 really is just too strong for me, and I find I'm only using it when my other juice isn't handy. I'm interested to see how I like the 6 mg juices. I'm only on day 5 vaping, and already excited to lower the nicotine.

Grats on lowering your nic content! Vape on my friend.
