I recenlty ordered doublers from tasty vapors
Seems like the best deal for the juice with 0 nic
When i first started vaping i was at 18mg
now im down to 8mg and decided to go with 0

Anybody got experience with 0 nic.

I went with a 50/50 blend . Just want to know what will i expect...

i have a zero nicotine e-cig here from a local store as e-cigs "with nicotine" are "illegal to be sold" here in Belgium
in my opinion its just something to trick your mind into thinking your smoking but really doesn't do :censored:
using flavoured stuff may help better too
altho my experience is very low with zero nicotine as i kinda chain smoke 24 mg :blush:

edit : the taste is in theory the same but you wont get enough, never in my opinion
depends on model and e-juice probably but it should be the same taste as with nicotine
searched for it a minute and many ppl claim this , cant speak for myself tho

I've been back and forth with 0mg & 6mg nic. It is different obviously in that there is little to no throat hit. Flavor is about the same though. Doing 0mg nic I'd recommend turning it up to higher voltages, might be able to "simulate" a throat hit.

A recommendation, if your juice vendor gives an option to add a "flavor boost" you should do it with 0mg. Ordered some 0mg with flavor boost from Fuzion Vapors & it did the job surprisingly at keeping the cravings away. I do like a minimal throat hit though, not really into the harshness of a cigarette as I was when I first started vaping.

Try it out though, it isn't as bad as you'd think. The cravings you get from vaping are different, IMO, than the ones you'd get from craving a cigarette.

One reason why I'm going back and forth between 0 and 6 is because some of my favorite flavors are tobacco based (boba's, ry8, gorilla juice, etc) and come at 6mg at the lowest. Eventually though I plan on doing 0 exclusively & get to the point where I don't vape every single day. I'll keep it around though for the 'once in a while' vape.

I've been down to 0 nic for over 100 days now. I slowly weaned myself down, so I didn't taste too much of a flavor reduction. I would suggest you keep some nic juice handy, just in case. Something else I sometimes use is a drop or two of vodka/10 ml of juice. It dilutes your juice somewhat, but also adds alittle 'kick' to it. Just go slow. You'll get where you wanta be.

I've always vaped at 6 mg. Also. I've always HATED throat hit, so I started with a good setup. When I started doing DIY, I didn't add nic to the trial mixes. After 2 months of just vaping trial juices with 0 nic, I went back to try one of my old favorites. It was awful! So, I was at 0 nic with no trying.
Someone mentioned getting double strength juice. You might try that at your mg choice and then dilute it with PG or VG and the nic level will decrease. Or buy your juice at 0 nic and your nic level and then mix the two, so the nic level will decrease. I would suggest that you not go crazy trying to get to zero nic. Just take it slow and easy and progess downward in nic level.
As for throat hit, take the previous advice and use higher voltage for more more throat burn. When you are vaping 0 nic, you can always add a little nic juice to your mix for a little hit.
For me, going to 0 nic was the easiest thing ever.. as easy as using vaping to get rid of the stinkies. Hell, it's now a lot cheaper now that I don't have to add nic to my DIY juices.
Good Luck!

PS. For me, nic juice and 0 nic juice does NOT taste the same! The o nic ALWAYS tastes better

I really want to go 0 nic.. but I'm scared lol

Seriously.. It takes about 2 days to get an order from my vendor. What if I order 0 nic juice and start craving? I don't wanna end up running to the store in a nic fitted craze buying a pack of cigs.. should I keep some nic juice on hand just in case?

Order a double batch, one of your regular nic %, one at 0. Thin your regular with some 0nic and reduce in more gradual steps than the .6mg standard.

Planning on quitting vaping this Sept and have already begun the process. When I go out for short trips I vape 0 nic. In the evening vaping 2 mg nic and during the day 4 mg. For the 0 nic am using high PG and menthol to "mimic" TH. This weekend will drop my daytime nic down to 2 mg. Yes I will always have some nic juice just in case. I've also planned some enjoyable and stress free projects to keep myself very busy.

Agree. I started on 36 mg 1 yr ago and am now down to 4 mg. Didn't begin to lower my Nic until Jan. 1012. The worst was going form 15 to 12 mg for some reason.

Its not as simple as going from 8 or 6mg of nicotine down to 0! There needs to be steps in between; like 1mg steps.
