I HAVE AN ANNOUNCEMENT!!!!!
I have offialy reduced my nic from 24mg to 23mg!! Im a raging nicotine junkie!!
Haha. I'm going down one everytime to. Going from 17 to 16 now. Started on 18. Progress
1 week off nic and good to go. I took a cotinine test at 5 days and passed. Pretty happy about this.
Finally getting time to play around with my dripper coils and cotton wicks and blowing some excellent clouds.
If something doesn't work quite right or malfunctions, no big deal since I am no longer an addict. I can wait. It is now only a hobby as opposed to a NEED.

I haven't even touched my mod since Sunday night. Mostly just because I'm curious if I could.
Pretty good feeling to not HAVE to do something.

I misread your post. I thought you wrote, "I could taste it when I was licking a patch," and I was trying to figure out why you would do that.
Anyway, congratulations!
Good for you!! I'm going to try dropping from 18 to 12 around the first of the year.
I tried reducing. When I hit 12mg, I nearly vaped every breath, so took it back up a bit. Congratulations, to you!
Another milestone...
Today is "break even" day for me. I'm in the black. I am now saving money by not smoking. Awesome.

I was weary about spending money on a lower strength nicotine liquid, but glad I tried it. Week 1-4 I was sat happily at 24mg. Week 4-6 it started really making me ill so decided to splurge some money on 50ml of 18mg liquid, went well. Week 6-8 this started making me feel ill again so splurged more money on 100ml of 12mg liquid and it's suiting me well for now.
The way my body is going, my next order will be 6mg....
I honestly believe I "liked" nicotine, but it was the other stuff in cigarettes I was more addicted to. The nic addiction doesn't seem to be too bad to gradually lower (in my experience so far, which admittedly is brief)
I do plan on vaping until I die, at 0mg nic if needs be, it's really enjoyable
I still think it's just about doing whatever it takes to not pick up a cigarette, so still keep a small amount of 18mg and 24mg liquid in storage just in case
As stated, you are kicking some serious ...., it's great.

You are correct in that it was the other stuff in cigs that is the mostly enjoyable/satisfying part, IMHO. I did go back to a maintenance dose of 1mg/ml at work because it helps my concentration and focus and gives me just a little taste of that throat burn that I think I mentally crave. Physiologically speaking, I am not addicted to nicotine anymore, and that feels great.
Congrats! That is a much more aggressive decline in nic than I decided to go with. I am a little over a year, and have reduced to 9 mg/ml, and I started at 36 mg/ml. I don't fully DIY, but I consider myself a partial DIY'er. Basically I started ordering all of my liquids at 36 mg with the maximum added flavoring the vendors allowed for. Then ordering plenty of pg/vg no nic to dilute it to my required levels. Every 100 ml I dropped by 1 or 2 mg. After a while I had to start ordering my liquids at 24mg with max added flavoring then diluting them to keep the flavors from getting too weak, now I order at 18mg/ml and dilute them. Several times I had to bump back up, not due to nic, but to the flavor being too weak. (I know, I should just have just ordered some flavor concentrate instead of bumping back up) My goal is 3-4 mg/ml by the summer. Not really looking at quitting vaping, but I may go zero nic.
congrats im down from 24mg to somewhere in the 6-9mg range. even the juices i have that are mixed at high levels i cant vape without diluting them down first, i really taste that peppery taste over the flavors at high nic levels. ill get to 0mg but then ill definitely keep on vaping, i love it too damn much
