Stepping Down From 18 to 12...Wish Me Luck!

[RobinBanks]

I'm starting the step down myself. I started at 18 mg and bought a few 12 mg for at night when I'd sit and mindlessly chain vape. I noticed that sometimes I'd have trouble falling asleep or even feel a tad nauseated when I'd lay down. A few times I grabbed the 12mg during the day, not thinking, and I was fine. Maybe I vaped a little more, but I'm OK with that.
Now I'm going just keep ordering any new juices in 12 mg and when the 18s are gone, they're gone.

Keep posting on your experience as I've decided that you'll be my model for nicotine concentrations in the future. I'm going to be stuck on 18mg for awhile though as I already stocked up on the juice.

Best wishes for you!

Thank you...I will...there is still a lot of flavor (mint/menthol...Goat brand...I know, nobody has ever heard of it, it's just what my vape shop carries), but there is definitely less throat hit. It tastes less like a menthol cigarette and more like spearmint gum.

It tastes good, just will take some getting used to.

So far throughout the day I haven't noticed a difference in the way I feel at all. Not craving more or vaping more or anything like that. We shall see what the next days bring...

I just keep finding myself pushing my tongue to the top of my mouth to the point where it aches. Since I'm not consuming any caffeine (which is what used to make me do that) it can only be the nicotine.

I used to clench my teeth a lot so at least I'm not doing that anymore, but I really hate this hurting mouth thing...lol

Whoa, Zoe...that is definitely not the kind of weird I was talking about...I just get hopped-up and loopy. But I guess what you say makes sense as an "over-stimulated" reaction?

Just my .02 FRN based upon personal nic level experiences, aiding some of my v-verts and my reading/research on da ECF, I highly recommend lowering your nic level down 3mgs at a time!

It's just not worth da yo-yoing (a la 'bakky secession methods) to take 'I think I can' steps of more than 3mgs. If ya can, then great fer you. But chances are you'll be 'vaping thru it' like ya did with ditchin' da 'bakky.

Do wish ya da best of success! Please, keep us clued in as to your progress.

Been on the 12 for almost two months now, and am ready to go to 6. It hasn't been that much of a difference for me dropping from 18mg to 12mg, so I'm going for the next step now.

Funny thing. I vape 6mg to 24mg. Some times I have the stuff that is lower and some times the higher. It makes me think that it is just a thought in my mind that thinks I need a higher nic level.

When I first started vaping I went with 18mg. Only stayed there for about a month and dropped to 12mg and stayed there for a long time and decided to drop to 6mg. The first week I could really notice a difference, but after that it was vaping as usual.

My 6mg is on its way. Will let you know how it goes.

Not sure if anyone has suggested this but if you up the wattage it will make lower nic appear stronger, there are a couple of ways to do this. I went from 18 mg at 8-10watts to 12mg at 10-12.5 watts down to 6mg at 25-30 watts. Everyone that has tried my pv at 6mg and 30ish watts thought I was using atleast 18mgs!
