Can you just go to 9mg?

I just dropped to 9mg with my last order. I had been at 15mg, then dropped to 12mg earlier this year. My new favorite tank along with the Clapton coils were delivering nic waaaay too well for me to stay at 12mg. I’m finishing the 12mg during the day, then dropping to 9mg in the evening. Doing it gradually helps me get there. And by mixing them, I guess I’m actually below 12mg all the time. And a little above 9. Considering I started at 24mg, I’m happy to have gone lower!

Speaking of which, I was so curious about how pods are becoming so popular when they can’t be delivering much nic. Then I learned about e-liquids made with nic salts. Yikes!

I agree that this year has flown past! And that 2018 must and WILL be better for all of us. :thumbs:

As everyone knows (I think anyway..lol) I mix my own juice. (My HHV orders go to other people, although I taste test before passing them along. .. )

I use nic salts exclusively now, I like it better because I can't take any measure of throat hit, and salts are easy on the throat. (I've had throat problems long before I started vaping)

Your body does not absorb any more of the nicotine when using nicotine salts than when using free base (I think it's called ) nicotine..

What is different about it, is that you can use higher levels of nicotine without the nic tearing up your throat. So for instance, someone who can't normally go above 18mg nic without it bothering their throat, can handle nicotine levels of 24 or 36mg if they use salts.

This is a great benefit to low consumption low wattage vapers just making the switch. ..

And for those who love their throat hit, they have the Hit Blend! The juice I saw had up to 50mg of nic and was made exclusively for pods. But, shhhh! Don’t tell @Bunnykiller. ;)

Hahaha... yeah. But when your vaping less than 2mg a day, you can still get your nicotine. it would have come in darn handy when I first made the switch to vaping! I went through some serious withdrawals in the beginning vaping about one and a half ml of ejuice a day with only 18mg nic. .. from a two pack a day habit of full flavors, it wasn't enough.

What's available today all the way around is making more people more successful in switching to vaping.

It’s true! I started with the pen style and was using 2 cartridges a day at 24 mg. Unsatisfying for sure. But I really really wanted to quit. Luckily I ended up here and @Bronze and @retic1959 got me into Kayfuns and rebuilding. The flavor and denser vapor did the trick for me. And I sure loved the reduced cost (after I got done buying gear)!

BTW, I've been vaping on that post-requiem DF. It's the same. :)

CT scan results are in and cancer is continuing to be beaten back. :thumbs:

MRI results are in and it looks like I have a bulging disk. :blink: So referred to another specialist. At least it is not more cancer. :D

I'm off the oxi as of now because we don't want the minor neuropathy that I'm experiencing to become permanent. She doesn't want to do another reduction because that could give the cancer a way to become immune to it. If needed, we can always add it back in.

I will stay on the 5FU + Avastin until no longer needed or it stops working.

It will be when it is no longer needed. *insert determined face here* ;)

so... What makes it rain??? Gravity ;)

without gravity, the water wouldnt fall creating rain... :)

If gravity makes it rain, how does evaporation rise ?
This should be interesting....
