I have an NPRO, initially my wife and I both had one. I vaped almost an entire pack of carts (10) she did not like (menthol not strong enough (throat kick-wise)) in a day. These carts hold maybe 4 drops it seems. I then ordered some Dulcis 24mg from Vapor Talk, it is pretty tasty! I seem to be vaping 3ml/day dripping. I use to smoke 1-2 packs a day of Marlboro reds. Will dropping/cutting to 18mg still satisy the nicotine requirements in anyones opinion? In other words, is there THAT much difference between the 18mg stuff and 24mg stuff? Any input would be appreciated!
Started on 24mg... should I try toning down?

I actually use them both, cause sometimes I just can't get what I want in the right mg, but as long as I get 18-24 all is gravy. Personaly, I haven't noticed much of a difference between the two. The 18mg can sometimes be a little smoother, but often I can't hardly tell.
Does cutting with alcohol increase harshness/throat hit? I need that kick to the throat or I do not feel satisfied. I am looking at cutting down 24 or trying some 18mg stuff, but if it lacks kick will alcohol restore the kick?
I'd say stay at 24mg if you like the lick. You can try 18 to see if you like it.
alcohol.? why are u using it to begin with?

I haven't yet. I read here on the forum that is will introduce some kick into a mix.
Alot of people use everclear or vodka to add to the throat hit.
And yes Winace, it will add to the throat hit, and you don't need very much. As far as the difference between 18mg and 24mg, ymmv - some find it drastic, some find it miniscule at best. Try it, see what you think.
I haven't had the guts to try this yet, but then again, I don't need throat hit to cure my cravings. Walrus tried some NOW Brand Cayenne Pepper Extract and added what appears to be a damn good throat hit to his mix.

Well it's a personal choice but I look at like this, I wanted to quit smoking for years and we all know it's the nicotine that has it's hooks in us. It made sense to me to start high so I can stay away from the tobacco cigarettes and to lower the nic levels as much as I can as soon as I can. Once I have gotten to a low to no level of nicotine will I feel completely safe as a nonsmoker, what happens if for some reason these get banned and you have no way to easily get parts and juice? If you are no longer addicted to nicotine then it's no big deal but if your still sucking down the high levels of nicotine I would bet dollars to donuts that you will go right back to your favorite brand of tobacco cigarettes.
I would urge you to get your nicotine content as low as you can without causing undue stress. If you cut it too low and find yourself constantly vaping away then bump it back up and try it again in a week or so. It can only work to your benefit to free yourself from any addictive substance no matter what it is, too much of anything is not good for you.
One thing I do to help get me to the lower levels is I get a few different levels of nicotine in my juices. The ones that I just love to vape I get low nic and the ones that I grab when stressed are high nic. I alternate between the two or three levels and I feel like I have a good grip on it at this point. I am perfectly happy with nicotine level of around 12 mg now.

I started at 18, but because I now find myself vaping all day to no satisfaction, I will lower it down to the next level once I finish all this juice I have coming. I really like e smoking, so I am not sure how much of it is about the nicotine. Plus, I have been feeling like it might be a little bit too much, here and there.
