Actually, this is exactly what you would predict if habit strength is independent from nicotine concentration. That was an excellent post Robino1. I'm glad you highlighted the word habit, which is exactly the right word.

I am using exactly the same device, power settings and ml per day since I've started. I went from 18mg to 8mg in 2 months. Reducing nic was not difficult. What seems difficult is addressing the habit i.e. the frequency of vape. It has remained a constant.
I actually would like to lower my nic level but at the same time, if I lower my nic, I vape more. Not saying because of my sub ohming RDA but in my MVP with Mini Nautilus. I usually vape, like I said earlier, about 3-4 ml/day @ 24 mg. If I lower it (nic), I tried @ 18mg and end up vaping 5-6 ml/day. Maybe by this study, I am not eating enough foods or drinking enough to get the nicotine lvl my body wants to run on optimal performance........
My strategy was to reduce a few mg at a time, starting in the mornings. If you reduce during daytime, after let's say vaping 24 you go 20, you will notice it as a significant lack of throat hit and the inhaling experience feels unsatisfactory. Thus you'll draw some more, but it won't help (vape is not as "elastic" as cigarettes, in the sense described here http://www.smoke-free.ca/eng_research/elasticity.htm).
If you start with a fresh throat in the morning with lets say 22, you may not notice the difference in TH, and the vape feels satisfactory.
Note that absolute nicotine content in your body doesn't matter as much as the TH (i.e. chewing nicorette to compensate for the nic level won't make the vape feel any better).
On my way out but will read little later. Thanks for the tip. I will definitely try it out.
Vaping is enjoyable and has moved past the point in popularity that it would be just for ex-smokers.
I would say one of the draw backs in going from nothing to vaping is the cost, smokers have been shelling out money for cigs, so moving over to vaping and quitting cigs, you can trade the expense.
If you start vaping it probably wont to be too expensive, but getting the better gear can turn into a hobby and before you know it you've spent some real money, plus the constant need for juice.

You must have a high tolerance for nic.
With a good set up, 6mg gives me a nice hit of nicotine, i would probably go 12mg in a low end ego type set up.
One reason not many places stock or make high nicotine is probably the cost, as it would be more expensive to make high nicotine juice since the nicotine part of the juice is much more expensive than PG/VG.
I guess what I was getting at is that based on the post I replied to is that once "hooked " the vaper doesnt necessarily increase the nicotine content of the liquid, otherwise higher nic content liquid would be the norm.
We need to "poll the audience" to see what the average forum user's eliquid content is on their all day vape. I know some do higher lower depending on the time of day or situation/flavor.

Excellent post! This should bump the thread back up and maybe more people will notice it.
Feel free to include it in your original post in the advantages of nicotine thread
Thanks roly, I'll look there. However, from my perspective as a site newbie, I find it a bit hard to navigate this forum.
The forum is huge
In order to keep things organized, we have to have everything compartmentalized. I remember when I discovered there were areas outside of the New Members section

Tapatalk makes it a little easier too if you have iOS, Android, or Windows 8.1/10 (App Store).

I fully understand that. When I started the thread http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/new-members-forum/633573-vaping-nicotine-advantages.html I was a new member. In fact, that was my first post here. Last week, I came back, and now I am participating on a regular basis. As you have probably gathered, my interest lies mainly in the health effects (especially those related to cognition) of vaping. I was delighted when I found this thread, and a few other like it. However, the last time I visited this thread was a couple days ago, and already, it had sunk about 11 pages down in the new members forum. The amount of interest that the thread I started and this one especially, had generated, suggested that there are quite a few members who are also interested in health effects (i.e., it appears that the vast majority of members are vaping to achieve risk reduction from smoking). The other day, I made a suggestion that a forum dedicated to health effects be created. It seems to me, that, in the interest of compartmentalization, "Health Effects" would be as worthy of an independent forum as, say, "Vaping Hardware". Just my opinion, of course.

Oops, my bad. I guess I never looked at the 'whole' organization of the available forums here. I just looked it over and I see that, not only are there several 'health issues forums', but a forum section dedicated to health effects. Sorry
Not necessarily. Nicotine does have some amazing propweries. Look at http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/new-members-forum/633573-vaping-nicotine-advantages.htm
