Only way to know really would be to try it.

I think the closer you get to zero nicotine, the less you notice the effects of nicotine, but that's been my experience.

I went from 18mg to 12 mg about two years ago. Over the last year I've dropped from 12mg to 3mg. I probably could go down to zero nic at this point, but I keep telling myself that I still like a little bit of nic in my vape.

I'm not familiar with the cleito. If it is a sub-tank, your requirements for nicotine would be less than if you were using a normal resistance tank.

Not sure if this was helpful at all.

I think willzee is still asleep north of the border :) mixing the two in equal parts would make it 4.5MG.

I would try a cheapo 3mg in a small bottle and see how you like it. I personally would notice the difference. Not so much taste wise but throat hit wise i miss the extra umph

Only you will know.

before buying the big bottle ... take some of your 6mg and cut it to 3mg ... monitor your usage to see if 3 will work :cool:

I'm thinking Brother Zee means take the 6mg, cut it with 0mg to GET to 3mg? Equal parts of 6 and 3 would definitely hit 4.5, but equal of 6 and zero should land at 3?

Yeah I realized that about 30 seconds ago. Perhaps it is i still sleeping willyzee
 
When I first started I went to 18mg and quit quickly the smoking thing. Then I got to the experimentation stage and went straight to 3mg with a long weekend ahead and no other juice. I almost went back to cigs. The store guys don't know what it is that you do when you ask for something and they handed it to you. Now I know. It takes gradual stages and increments to cut down on nic (even though nic unless you have very weak blood vessels and hypertention it does no harm).

The other thing about nic in liquid is the temperature it evaporates at. At high temps nic will evaporate itself but even at slightly less temperature than its evaporation it will be carried by the steam of vg/pg in your mouth. The millisecond it hits your tongue it is in your bloodstream and traveling fast to the trigger point in your brain. It will not travel much as vapor as it liquidies faster than one thinks. So if you attach a long tube/straw to your mouth piece and suck on 18mg chances are you get 0. Tell that to any annoyed bystander who complains that does not want to inhale nicotine from what you exhale.
So the tank matters, the longer and cooler the vapor gets before it touches your mouth the less nicotine it has. So temp control is good for this.
Nic levels matter in flavor as well. Try the same flavor and brand side by side with same hardware and W with 3mg and 18mg. The hotter the vapor the bigger the difference. The cooler the fapor the less difference there is. Wonder why?

When you take some mouthpieces off and find some condensation below it it is very high on nicotine.

Have you also seen any difference between vaping in warm dry air and cold moist air? I get the best flavor in the cold moist air, nearly no flavor when it is hot and dry.

Nicotine is the least of substances we x-smokers have to worry about. There were thousands of substances we were addicted on. Health dept. and marketing pays attention to nicotine so they don't get legal friction from huge-tobacco. We get none of those substances now. We are already free even by using some medical nic in our juice. So don't sweat too much over nic levels. I am in it for the flavor now, high nic just tickles my throat too much.

Today was going to be a stressful day so last night I spiked my tank with some higher nicotine and was vaping close to 6MG before I hit the sack. This morning I loaded my tank with mostly some 18MG. Honestly was a good choice for the beginning of my day but wasn't long before I was back to my 3MG. Did vape less with the high MG tank though.
