Nicotine or no nicotine

[HawkeyeFLA]

I mix it up with the nic levels right now. I have a 24mg that is my at work liquid. I can only vape when I go on my breaks, so I like the higher strength to get me from break to break. At home, at least right now I am more of a chain vaper, so I got a 12mg for that. When I order a new flavor to try out, I aim to get it in 18mg, halfway between my 2 points. I do that because I don't really know how much I will use the new flavor, and it lets me be right in the middle. So far it seems like a fairly good mix for me. I can't really attest to sleeping problems because before making the switch, I already suffered pretty badly from insomnia and some nights even 6mg or more of melatonin wouldn't knock me out.

Like everyone says, find the level, or mix of levels that works for you, and go with it. There is no black and white you must do this to achieve that with these.

Welcome and congrats! I'm just over two months and have barely even thought about a real (or analog as many like to call them) cig since. I had a very stressful week a couple of weeks ago, and vaped more than usual, but still stayed away from the cigs. It's amazing. I had attempted to quit several times in the past using everything out there, this was the easiest, and most fun and TASTY! And, I am already 95% done with the nicotine altogether. I may puff on a cart with nicotine once a day, if that. Making your own juice is really easy and saves you even more money. This forum is awesome and I am so thrilled I found it, and e-cigs!! Keep it up!!

Beamrider, 7.5 in one day!?!? My gosh, man. You are some kind of person to smoke that much. Ive never heard of anyone smoking that much, but must say, doing that has crossed my mind. I am smoking the highest ecig which, I think is 2.4. I have only been vaping for maybe 1 week but am still smoking the anag, one pack a day, down from 2.5-3 packs a day. Am switching back and forth. Having a lot of trouble cutting.the cord on my anags. Don't quite no how or why. Just seems when I'm really stressed I just need a "real cig". Don't want my hubby to get mad that after spending a fortune on the ecig that I still smoke anags. I do want to quit, I like the ecigs he got, just am not ready to give up my security blanket. Btw, he ordered the ecig because I mentioned I wanted them. He is a nonsmoker. I don't know how to reply to just one person. Sorry.

Everyone has given such great advice. Congratulations to all of you. You have a great deal of courage! I love reading all the diff stories. Here's another question I have. I have been switching back and forth between anags and ecig. Just can't seem to cut the umbilical cord. When I'm really stressed, I feel the need to smoke an analog. I am down from 2.5-3.0 packs of analogs to 1 pack. Any suggestions what to do? I've only been vaping for about 1 week.

Higher nic, perhaps stronger flavor, for stress points. Lower resistance, for more power, can also help.

Was doing 1 or 2 analogs a day until a few days ago. I just couldn't let go completely. I ran out and didn't buy any more. I'm vaping more and using better equipment. That's made it better too. Duce in vaping more, I don't think I need the 24mg.
