I have noticed that after switching from an inferior rig to the eGo that I need to use lower nicotine juices. The eGo is just too damn efficient.

I started vaping with a Joye 510(mega batteries 280 mah) which I used often but about 2 weeks after I started I added a 510 direct PT which I use when at my computer and sometimes take in the kitchen with me if I'm going to be there for a while. I love my PT. In the last 2 weeks I added an Ego to my collection so I could have the ease of longer battery life when I needed it. I still use all 3 and enjoy all of them.

I remember that you had a hard time getting started so its great to hear you're liking your Ego and good news you can reduce your nic level if that's what you wish to do.

Wow, congrats! That's a big cut-back. :)

But the problem is throat hit. I get no throat hit at all once I start getting that low. And I've always been big on that. I smoked rollies and Lucky Strikes, sometimes filterless. I liked to be kicked in the face when I smoked, and the same is true when I vape.

Diablo Loco. That's what you need if you like to be kicked in the face. It is a decadent vapours flavor that is available from TW.

Quit analogs Oct 7. Quit nicotine Nov 5.

Still vape as much. Backwoods Brew ry4 has a good throat hit at 0mg, and alot of flavor. First two days quitting nicotine are the worst. Third day not so bad. Then a piece of cake after three days. Just find your new three flavors nicotine free liquid.

Nicotine withdraw lasts 3 days. I even cheated. First day rather than ripping someones face off. I dripped 3gtts of 18 mg, three times during the day. Then all throughout the day vaped 0mg. 2nd day I only dripped 18mg two gtts, once. Third day no gtts of nicotine. It works.

Your still with the vaping, and after three days it's been 8 days now its really fine. And I smoked over 35 years. Talk about an emotional withdraw of my marriage to nicotine. First two days utterly depressed. Thats part of the withdraw. The first two days. Anger, anxiety and depression.

That's why the 3gtts three times, then 2gtts once 2nd day, and none third day works. Only vaping 0mg Backwoods Brew now. The waves of nicotine craving only lasts no more than 3 minutes. Cheating helped but I was all day still vaping 0mg. And thats how I did it. Boy do I feel free now.

Still and will always have my vaping material. Even have that emergency nicotine 11 mg I saved. But don't need it.

Going to vape my brains out for the next 2-3 months and then re-assess vaping. Ideally able to get down to 1 ml a day or less. Recreational.

But I'm cool right now. Have my 3 flavors or more I'm happy with. Time now to save money. When you no longer are looking forward to nicotine. Physically addicted. Then it changed for me. Just give me some good flavor with a throat hit. Plumes of vapor.

Will look at things differently later I'm sure. Its been 8 days. I don't have any waves at all of nicotine craving. And I can vape some really good ry4 with alittle cherry pipe flavoring in it. It a good thing to finally be free. Remember its only 3 days with nicotine withdraw. Look it up. Google it. The third day wasn't bad for me either. And I loved smoking. First thing I did when I woke up and last thing I did before going to bed. A very addictive personality. Thats me..

And If I can do those three days. And cheated too remember. Then you guys can too..

Yeah, well, when symptoms are actually seen, I do a double take. If you're alluding to our certain other additive concern, I must say that nothing I vape regularly has any in it. If I were vaping it all day, my personal decision may be different. The big thing with the Qhit is that I don't know what it is, and therefore I can't review any facts about it.

I gotta find me a cinnamon flavor I like! That'll kick your throat alright. If I can manage that, I'm sorted. I really think I could get down to no nic relatively quickly if I could get throat hit. Otherwise... just seems like I may as well stop vaping all together. Where's my throat hit!?!

What exactly is CashCap anyhow? The name is mysterious...

I started my odyssey into e-cigs using 36mg. juice, which got me off analogs in a week (smoked 1 PAD M-boro Menthol for 42 years). Over the past 15 months; I've gone from 36mg down to 6mg, but now it depends on what device I'm vaping on!

I'm sticking with the HV-510 attys on my Prodigy V2 (dripping 6mg juice), my Ego with LR 306 Cartos with 6-10mg juice, and I find that I need a stronger juice in my (V4L) KR808-D1 cartos. I've settled on 24mg.

unfortunately I'm in the opposite camp. I started with 18mg a year ago, and quickly switched to 24mg. I vaped this in 5v mods and LR510's for almost a year until last month, when I wasn't getting a throat hit anymore from my fav 24mg juices in LR510s, so I upped it again to 36 mg and that's where I am today

Maybe it's not the throat hit from nicotine but the 5v mod that needs to be changed.

I mix my own all day vape, so I am lowering my nicotine content by about 1mg/ml every week or two, whenver I feel like it really. Haven't had any problems as of yet cutting back, I started on 18mg and am down to 10mg now, and I started in late September.

I at least attribute that ease to being able to change the level in smaller increments.
