Has your nicotine levels increased or decreased?

[Drummel]

I started at 24mg when I first picked up vaping. I am now down to 6 fairly regularly for deep pulls here and there. 3MG for more enjoyable flavors to have some nic, and 0mg for my absolutely favorite flavors because I just can't stop enjoying them and I don't need to be vaping hours of my favorite flavor with any nic when I can just take a tug of one of my other tanks to satisfy that need.

Stayed the same. I just fill my lungs with more vapor. Vape around 210 mls per week.

I am new to vaping and noticed that I am vaping pretty constantly. When I smoked cigs, I had one or two an hour. With vaping, the mod rarely leaves me.

I think that will change in time, but the amount of nicotine I ingest has to have quadrupled since I quit smoking.

My plan was to start at 18mg and work it down, but right now that's not possible, I've tried using 12mg, but feel cravings a lot more.

Why such a rush? Decrease with a mg a time. Maybe .5 even. You won't even notice it.

Because the next level down that they sell is 12mg

You can mix 18 and 12 to get up to 15

I made it from 24 to 6 now..

Yea ok - there is that option - but I just quit a month ago - and figuring out everything - what mods what tanks what watt what volt what drip tip what flavor, etc - you get the idea, is a little overwhelming. Mixing 18s and 12s and figuring out this flavor with this one - or buying 2 of the same at different strengths (when I'm buying oodles already just to figure out flavors I like to begin with) is a bit of a pain in the tushie! lol

Hopefully by the time I am ready to drop from 12 to 8 or 6 whichever is the highly available one - I will be more equipped to do that

I would take your time if I were you.. If you take the steps to fast and you don't get "your rush" from it anymore, u will be more likely fall back to normal smoking..

My advice, don't rush it.. Whenever you get more powerful equipment in the future you will start to drop in nicotine level.. Till that time.. Stick to your nicotine level that gives you satisfaction..

I dropped 20-25% every 4ish months. I am at 3mg and am removing some of the habitual places that I vape. I wouldn't vape simply to make clouds. I am constantly amazed that my students don't know how to spell.

Depends what you mean by "ingest". The nic in vape is absorbed less efficiently (and quite a bit more slowly) than the nic in cigarette smoke. So while the total of mg in the juice you're vaping is probably higher than the rated mg in the cigs you used to smoke, the amount of nic in your blood is probably the same or lower.

At only a month in, it's probably premature to think about about reducing nic, especially if doing so gives you cravings. Be happy that you're not smoking and use whatever nic level is sufficient to make sure you're not tempted to go back to traditional cigs.

Stay at your current level is my recommendation. You're just switching over. Your goal is to quit smoking for good, and you've come a long way already. I couldn't move from 18 to 12. You need less inbetween. If you don't want to diy, buy your juices x2. One in 18mg and one in 12mg. And dillute those in what level you think is good.

Started a couple of days ago with a kanger evod and bought the lowest available e liquid with nicotine (0-6). Its called green mint superlight. The other eliquid (american mix) really wasnt my taste. The green mint though is pretty good, but i wonder whether my nicotine intake is higher now compared to 'normal' marlboro gold cigarettes. All replies welcome!

We'd have to start by knowing how much liquid you go through per day at what nicotine level...
And how many of those marlboros you smoked per day.

Thank for your reply! I smoked about two/three packs of marlboro gold a week. I started with 6mg nicotine capsules. After 3 days i 'vaped away' a total of 2 ml probably. Id like to know how i can translate this amount to the amount of cigarettes id use to smoke. (In terms of nicotine level) Thanks and best regards!
