Lower nic level at night??

[Loveridden]

I have been having some insomnia, which yes could be related to other things not necessarily my vaping a bunch at night, but I am vaping a bunch, and was wondering if all that nighttime nicotine was assisting the problem. Anyone here cut down their nic levels at night? Would love to hear your story. Want to get 2 new bottles this week from a fav vendor and wondering if I should get one of them in a lower level, like 6mg or something, for a nighttime vape. I usually use 18 or even sometimes 24 mg.

Also, how much will the taste vary on a liquid if you usually have it at 18 or 24 but you get it at 6 mg?

A lot of people do.
After supper, I use a no nic liquid but I use very little nicotine during the day. For you I'd drop down to 12 and see how that goes. If you're still having problems drop down to 6. If you're STILL having problems maybe you should eliminate it altogether an hour or two before you go to bed.

Thanks for your advice, prob will get some 12 mg for nighttime. Also starting to find that sometimes I want a light flavor and sometimes I want to vape a stronger flavor, so having a good variety of light tasting and stronger tasting for different times of day is good too.

I vape 15-18 during the day. After dinner when I start heavy vaping, I switch to 9. No noticeable taste difference, but I feel better.

Nic is supposed to have its own flavor, but cutting down shouldn't change the juice too much. I haven't noticed much difference in flavor between 18, 12 and 6 mg. Nic is a stimulant, so it probably won't help your insomnia. I hear folks vape the strongest stuff in the mornings to get a "jump" on the nic for the day. Obviously, you don't want coffee or tea at night.

When first getting off the analog habit, I was using 24mg/ml exclusively and found that I was not interested in going to bed as usual. It wasn't that I couldn't sleep but rather I was so wired I kept coming up with stuff to do or watch until about 3am. After a couple weeks of 3-4 hour sleep intervals, I decided to step down to 18mg/ml after dinner and by Midnight I was ready for bed. These days it's 18mg/ml during the day and 12mg/ml at night. I no longer bounce off the walls and sleep is much more sound. Brew

Nicotine is actually a stimulant. They put things in cigs to give you that 'relaxed feeling'.

I just noticed you mentioned nic is a stimulant.

I just noticed you mentioned nic is a stimulant.

It's worth repeating in this case, insomnia. I didn't know they put things in analogs to give relaxed feeling, learned more.
