Lowering nic

[Skylare]

Hi i was thinking today and i think i wanna lower my nic lvl! i am at 12mg atm and want to go down to 8mg cause that's the next lowest e-juice i can get at my supplier. Any one here done that same lvl of drop? wanna know if the throat hit i get from 12 will suck at 8, and I'm willing to fight to adjust to it.

ps i know i can mix 8 and 12 to get 10

i did the same thing i started at 18 went to 12 after a month and then went down to 8 you will notice a slight difference in throat hit but if you have a vv/vw you can adjust for that. if you need to puff on it a bit more until you are used to it and you should be fine. at my last physical with my doctor she said i could stay at 12 mg for the rest of my life if i wanted to.
hope this helps you

I dont think there would be that much diference PG will give more throat hit then VG

I think the throat hit will depend on what juice you're vaping, as well as your pg/vg ratio. I've tried 6mg juice with an amazing kick. I started at 24, immediately went to 18, and I've remained at 18 for three months...up until today. I made the drop to 12 mg, and to be perfectly honest, I notice no different. The throat hit of my selected juices are compared to their 18mg versions. The flavor is the same, my vaping habits remain the same. I do not find myself vaping any more, or any less, than normal. All in all, I believe you will be successful in making the switch. 12mg to 8mg isn't a big jump, though YMMV depending on what juice you're using (as far as throat hit)

I also use 12mg, and wanted to go down to 8mg. I did find it a big drop. It's like going from a regular cigarette to a real low tar/nic level with just a slight throat hit and not enough nicotine to satisfy.

Just take the jump from 12-8 if you don't want to mix for a 10mg. It should only take a few days to get used to it. You may want to try vaping mint or menthol, they can help with a throat hit, and/or use lower ohm with higher v/w.

Many vape 8mg and have gotten used to it nicely. I started on 18mg before going down to 12mg, and now I couldn't go back to 18mg, too much throat hit, too strong. I guess after hitting 8mg for a week or so, you'd feel the same about 12mg.

The level of TH you feel at 8mg you will get used to after a few days. Stay strong and just push through and then 12 mg will feel like a sledgehammer throat hit. You could also get them to mix you a PG strong custom batch at 8mg if you absolutely cant live without it.

I'm on my second day of going from 18mg to 9mg. So far I can't tell much difference if any at all. Today has been a tad stressful, but I've not had any desire to hit the 18mg yet. We'll see.

As the nic gets lower, so does the kick.

I have been on some zero %, some 6mg and the odd moment of 12mg.

You probably won't need 10mg (for the nicotine) i.m.o.

I first started at 18mg and was like most 1.5 -2 packs a day, I started vaping almost a year and a half ago. Now am at 4mg sub ohming. You will notice the TH drop off initially and find that you might vape more juice in a day, but once you get used to the lower nic level you become adjusted. I went from 18 to 16 to 14 to 12 to 10 to 6 to 4 over a span of time. My nicotine intake is close to the same per day, but with the lower nic levels, I don't jones nearly as hard as when I was on 18mg and went too long without a blast. Also the morning cravings aren't as severe, I just keep a nice lower blood nic level thru the day instead of the big spikes when I smoked analogs and when I was on 18mg strength.

Give it a try as nothing will be truer than your personal experience in doing so. Personally, I tried decreasing my dosage from 12 to 6mg and it was doable. The only issue I found was that I was vaping a lot more and consequently buying more juice in less time. I went back to 12 mg as it was more convenient at work in terms of how long can I go without vaping.

I'm at 12mg now, I dropped down from 18mg and didn't even notice the difference. Now 18mg is waaaay to strong for me. I recently got a few drippers and I'm putting 6mg juices in them and it's fine as well. I guess it depends on your atomisers. I'm sub-ohming on dual coil drippers and a drop in nic is about right for that kind of setup
