I also plan to eventually hit 0mg on the nicotine. Smoking 12mg now started at 24 which I felt was to strong.
Have you been sucessful at reducing your nicotine usage?

I did not intend to do anything. I started at 24mg. After 2 months I started having a lot of anxiety, sleeplessness, etc. so I dropped to 18mg...then 12mg...then 9mg. I tried 6mg but that led to cravings so at 6 months I've settled out at 8-9mg. My body made me do it. I'm just along for the ride.
I started with 12mg, but it wasn't enough to kick the smoking habit, so I switched up to 18mg, which did the trick. That was a year ago. ^ months later, I was back down to 12mg, and about 2 months ago I switched to 6-9 (depending on the vendor), and everything is going swimmingly. I will go nic free when the FDA has their way with nic and ecigs, although some of my favorite juices are not available nic free. 
My pattern is similar. I started at 18mg and quickly found that it was too much for me. For a long time I was at 12mg. In the last half of 2012 I was mostly at 6mg. Now I'm mixing in 0mg e-liquids and hopefully will stick with it for the rest of the year. So far, all of the transitions have been easy. Hopefully vaping 0mg full time won't be too difficult.
Best of luck to you!
I started at 36mg. After about 9 months I went down to 24mg. Another 6 months & I went down to 18mg. I have been vaping for 20 months & I am now vaping 16-18mg. I hope to get down to 6mg eventually & then I will stay there. I have no desire to ever quit vaping, I enjoy it too much!
I like Vaping...can't foresee stopping that.
Started with 18 mg... Now at 12 mg in the AM 'Coffee Vape', switch to a Fruit, or Butterscotch or Carnmel at 12- 10 mg.
Then in the Evening it's fruit at 6 mg because I vape alot, and if its to high mg- I won't sleep.
I DIY now so I can regulate my nic...but I don't intend to go under 1 or 2 mg/ ml because I actually think a little Nicotene is GOOD for me.

Started at 16 but it wasn't quite enough so went to 24. After 6 months or so I dropped to 12 then 8 .. big mistake to drop that far. I got bad cravings and went back to 24, which is where I still am.
After reading other posts, I think the key is to make the reduction very gradual, especially if you were a heavy smoker (like me).

what is your pg/vg mix? I'm guessing that you've tried 12mg with more pg to get a bigger th right?
I never intended to cut back, but slowly I started to notice some nicotine sickness coming on so I've been stepping down a touch.
More for simplicity's sake I've been blending my DIY in increments of 5. Dunno why they ever started with going up 6 at a time? Think I'm going to start mixing at 15mg though.

I started out at 24mg but since I vape more than I smoked I have cut back to 6-12mgs and I will probably stay there unless they take it away and then I will have to go to 0mg
Be careful when DIY Make sure your droppers being used are given you what you want.
20 drops = 1 mil, my dropper 40 drops = 1ml. I use pipettes for nicotine and pg/vg. If your useing pipettes for your nic and drops for others your formula could be off.
still on 12mg since the day i started vaping last year. planning to reduce it slowly this year. 
Not successful at all. My wife and I started at 36mg DIY and a month later she said she wanted to cut it in half. I cut it for both of us, she does well with it but I just about crawled out of my skin by the end of the first day. I'm still at 36 and she's at 18 after 2 months.
