Can any one tell me Is it a hard transition to lower the nicotine levels of E juice or is it purely psychological , I am scared that to low nicotine will have me craving analogs?

The thing about trying to lower the nic. level with me is the TH. Anything below about 30mg and I have a hard time getting a decent TH. Other than that I would love to lower my mg of nic. but I need to find a flavor that might have a good throat hit (TH). Using a 5 volt mod helped a little, by making the vape warmer.
I wouldn't attempt it until you're completely off cigarettes. Then lower the nicotine levels slightly if that's what you want to do. Purchase for example 18 and 12 of the same juice and mix them together for a 15. Next time order slightly lower and do the same.
Thanks, I have been off Analogs for 8 months My Girlfriend never new I smoked 2 Packs a day LOL. so i have never had analogs since I started vaping. I have been at 24mg since the beginning. I just ordered 18mg and 12 mg Am i going to notice big differences?
Yeah, it's best to take something like this slowly. My issue is also with the throat hit; it diminishes the lower you go, and for me my preferred strength is 24mg. Get too much below that and I start having to take in more and vape more frequently. LR attys/cartos and HV vaping helps give TH a boost when using lower nic levels but only goes so far. If you really want to cut down take is slowly and in as small increments as you can manage. Mixing juices to get intermediate strengths help, and I know of at least one vendor who offers juices at 0-24mg strengths in 2mg gradients. (I'll have to go look that one up again.)
Wow, good for you! I imagine you'd probably notice the biggest difference in the TH. My Mom was vaping 18 and I order her a 6 I think and it was too much of a drop. I do her cartos so I got 12 and mixed them until she was down to 12.
That's why I think it's not all psychological. She doesn't even get that involved in the juice and filling and she noticed a difference. (She knew I ordered lower though, I'd never just do that behind someone's back).
I started with 24mg. I got a bigger, better PV and immediately dropped to 18mg. After a couple months I realized how much I enjoyed vaping and 18mg was getting me looped when I vaped as much as I liked to. So I bought a bottle of the same juice in 6mg and mixed them. Now I vape as much as I like without getting light headed and the lack of throat hit has never bothered me. Perhaps the fact that I have COPD from smoking analogs for so long has something to do with not caring so much about TH.
I don't have anything to add, but just wanted to let you know that quitting a 2 PAD habit is impressive. Even vaping high nic, you've done your health a world of good.
I started off really high and slowly started bring my nic down over the last few months. Some days it was hit and miss for me but now Im quite comfortable around 5-8 mg nic, some days 0. Play around with it and see how your feeling. Now I gauge by my jaw tightness lol. If I'm grinding my teeth I DD something higher. What ever works for you is the right way

Wow! Congrats on that!
The best advice I can give to you is to not try to drop down all at once. Spend at least a week if not two using your new 18 mg part of your vaping time and your 24 mg the other part of your day. When you think you're ready to try using only the 18 mg all day don't be afraid to go back and use your 24 mg for a few minutes if you feel a craving for higher mg. When that craving has passed go back to the 18 mg. Chances are that after a week or two of feeling that occasional craving that won't happen any longer and your 18 mg will be your new all the time nic level. Stay at that level for a few weeks and then start down again to 12 mg if that is what you want to do. Always remember there is no law that says you have to use the same mg level all of the time so don't be afriad to mix it up.
Also, many find that when they use 5 VT PV's they are fine with lower mg level juice. Good Luck !
