Reducing Nic level

[rzil]

Hi,

well after 6 months without smoking I've decided to try lowering my nic level (from 12 to 9) , though I'm a bit concerned that I might get irritated with the lack of nic .

how should i go with this ? 1 day 9 MG , another 12 ? or go all the way to 9 MG until i get used to it?

My suggestion is to have juices with both 9mg and 12mg. vape your 12 when first waking up then move to the 9, vape the 12 when you feel the 9 just isn't cutting it. You can do this with different flavors or your ADV.

My 2 cents FWIW.

I've gone from 18 to 12 to 6 in about a month and a half.
For me I just commit to it, and it hasn't been a problem.

Honestly, I doubt you will even notice the difference, other than mentally.. You might vape more at first for a day or 2, but that should be about it. I was vaping at 18mg, then filled my tank with 8mg without noticing (juice a friend gave me, I thought it was 18) finished the tank and went to refill it, then realized it was 8mg and not 18.. The only difference I noticed was vaping more at first. Refilled with 8 then dropped to 4, then 2... Now I vape 0mg or 2mg depending on the juice.

I dropped from 12 to 6 within the first month of vaping. I did vape ALOT more when I switched but slowly decreased as I got used to it. When I vape 12mg now its like WOOOOHOOOOWOOOOZAAA HEAD SPIN!!

I started at 12 now I'm down to 6 about to go to 4. I went from 12 straight down to 6 without noticing a thing. But I did switch from stock tanks to RBA's. I agree, at the start of the switch have one higher just in case, but I think you'll be fine without it. Good luck!

Definitely keep a bottle or a tank of 12mg around. Use that when you're having a craving that the 9mg isn't helping.

Yeah I don't think you'll notice 12 to 9 much. I went from 8 to 6 to 4 and now all I'm purchasing are 3's and 0's. My dependency on nic has drastically dropped the last few months since I've started dripping. The hobby/collecting part of vaping has kicked in. I even left the house the other day to go to the store without a mod and didn't get and anxious feeling.

Belive it or not, what worked for me was switching from a vv/vw device to a mechanical. I dropped from 24mg in the vv/vw's to 12mg in the mechs, and I'm about to lower the nic to 6mg in the mechs. I just feel the mechs do a better job of delivering the vapor (nic) so my cravings are satisfied. To each his own tho...

The withdrawal is different than that from tobacco/nicotene combo.

I recently spent 10 days in the hospital where I was not allowed to vape. I experienced no nicotene withdrawal symptoms. Where as when I smoked analogs I was catatonic after an hour w/o a smoke.

I currently vapes 24mg but when I am caught w/o a supply of my regular juice I'll grab a bottle of the 12mg gas station crap and besides it being bad juice I experienced no nicotene withdrawal.

When I started vaping 3+ years ago, I was using 36mg juice. I always order 3-4 months of juice at a time. Every other time I've ordered, I've gotten the next lowest available. I am currently on 6mg juice, having just dropped from 12. I don't think about it, I just do it. For the first few days I might vape a little more often to keep the levels higher, but eventually I slow down and my body adjusts without me having cravings for more. I also use several nic-free juices on occasion, just because I can. I find that even those keep the "craving" away for the most part.
