Question on best way to reduce nicotine levels

[DC2]

My advice is don't cut down on nicotine if you don't want to.

If you want to, my advice would be to do it however works for you.
That may well be different from how it works for John or Jane or Ebeneezer.

Some people drop fast and don't even notice a difference.
Some people drop fast and have problems.

Some people drop slowly, over months or even years.

What I would always suggest is keeping some higher strength on hand if you find you need it.
If you wind up throwing it away, so be it.

I wouldn't have dropped down if it wasn't for the insomnia issue.

You can buy what is often called "cutter" which is just 0nic 50/50 you can mix with other juices to bring the nic and flavor down with. I bought stuff that mixed well with other flavors, apple actually, to mix with bacco juices for night vaping to cut down my nic levels. Worked for me. Also bought low 6 or 12mg of juices I liked to mix with higher level nics I had on hand and to use in RDAs.

I found nicotine was not addicting for me and I can now vape it or leave it. It was cigarettes I was addicted to, not nicotine.

Interesting. I smoked cigs casually in H.S. and was all finished with them by age 20. Picked up cigar smoking in early 30's (now late 40's) and really enjoyed a few a week. Moved from mid-west to east-coast for about 8 months and while there had one of the world's largest cigar shops at my disposal. Fast forward to three years ago when I moved here to Cali and found cigars about 50% more expensive than mid-west and east-coast prices and over 50% of the time stale or in poor condition. Saw a posting for an American hand made tobacco pipe buy-in within a forum for wet (traditional double edge and straight razor) shaving. The craftsmanship of that hand made pipe had me hooked on idea of trying. Now I have about a dozen pipes from corn cobs to that $180 hand made. Smoked them heavily a few times a week also and actually too hot and fast damaging some of them. I don't think I have ever felt like I had to smoke due to nicotine addictions, just feel it has been a pastime especially while enjoying a nice imported brew. Jumped in with both feet vapeing a month ago and quickly found the 18mg samples were too potent for me. Stopped for a week and tried some 11mg and 6 of same selections as samples. Flavor was good, but I assume due to reduced throat hit did not seem to enjoy as much. Vaped heavy on 6mg up to 18 various tobacco flavors Saturday night and so far yesterday nothing and today feel can take it or leave it tonight after work. From what I remember about cigs the added other crap in them along with the nic is a powerful negative attractant.

reduce the nic % by adding glycerin to your juice... altho it will reduce the flavor too...
but if thats an issue just buy new juice at 50% of what you have on hand and mix it with the old juice... that will cut the nic by 25%

Uh oh. I'm not sure what's going on but I just ordered 4 bottles of juice in 18mg last night.....I figured like u all said there really is no reason to rush it. But late last night I noTiced I was not able to vape as much as usual due to getting nausea feeling. Ive been chain vaping the 18 mg all month with no pRoblem. And now today the same thing is happening.....im wanting to vape but im getting nausea after a few hits. What does this mean? I'm sure I need to go ahead and go to 12mg but I just ordered all that 18mg juice, ugh!!!! I Wonder why this is happening out of the blue like this, I never felt nauseous before, no matter how much I puffed.

Nausea and an acid tummy have been my cues to cut down the nic. Order more juice in the same flavor in 0 nic and mix it with what you have to cut down to the level you want.

I mentioned a few posts back that I picked up a 0mg to chain vape so I wasn't taking in more nicotine then I used too. Heres the verdict of that !

I started out with 12mg on my first day vaping (13 days ago) and had to go up to 18mg the next day because it wasn't cutting it. A few days later I started to chain vape and it was causing headaches from to much nicotine. I decided to pick up a 0mg and put it in its own tank so I can chain vape and puff the nicotine whenever I got a nic craving. I am now vaping 0mg 90% of the day and down to 9mg when I puff the nicotine tank. Idk what happened but anything above 9mg is just way to strong for me now after smoking 0mg for most of my days for a week. I only smoke the 9mg with my morning coffee and take a few pulls in the afternoon. I guess my body adapted FAST to 0mg with minimal nicotine, I don't even get cravings anymore, I just use the 9mg so a craving doesn't sneak up. Everyone is different so you'll need to listen to your body as others have mentioned. I have seen people saying don't drop down to soon or to quick because you might relapse and smoke a cigarette. I call BS on that ! If you feel the urge to smoke just pick up your original HIGH nicotine tank and vape it till your good.

Just get the same flavors in 0mg , it will cost some money but you'll be able to mix up your own strength ! If not grab a bottle of unflavored juice at 0mg to cut all your flavors. I didn't even know you can get unflavored 0mg juice lol but someone mentioned it in here.
