So, I've decided to start preparing the step down from 6 to 3 but not before I vape what I have. In order of goodbyes - First to go was my PBC, then SPC, Band Camp is now being vaped. I'm enjoying/have enjoyed every drop but not knowing if I'll ever get to enjoy these treasures again at a lower nic makes it bittersweet. Cheers to some of the best juices I've ever vaped, may they come back around again someday.

Ash, I couldn't bear losing Band Camp so I mixed some with a 50/50 pg/vg blend to reduce the nicotine in it. I divided what I had, reduced some so it could steep and am vaping the other. I'm actually doing that with all my favorite liquids that are no longer available and ordering 3 mg of the favorites that still are offered when I need them.

What's SPC?

But congrats on making the step down. I vape unflavored for the most part now and I actually bumped myself up to 6 so I can stop chain vaping. Especially since I have three college courses online, I'd just sit here nonstop vaping.

Danny, it's Spiced Pumpkin Cheesecake. It was a limited run that was offered last Sept/Oct.

Keep a little of the higher nic around in case you hit particularly stressful period or night out drinking.

I typically only drink a glass a wine a week. But on the occasional night-out I load up a 2nd mod with higher nic juice because at some point during the night my usual juice will to start to seem weak not satisfying.

Thank you Lynn, but ohh my girlfriend would absolutely love that if she was here to vape haha. She's not big into vaping, but doesn't smoke either. I think with that flavor she'd love it in 0mg haha

Hopefully when they come back around you can get 0 nic and add your own to make it 3 mg if it's not available. I hope to get down to 3mg but that may take a little bit as I just went from 12 to 6 about a month ago and find myself still adjusting to it. I have to admit the flavors are tasting better with less nic in them.

StevesCVO - I found the drop from 18 to 12 easy but the drop to 6 took a while for me to get used to. Give yourself enough time to adjust really well and keep some higher nic juice around in case you need it temporarily. I'm hoping the drop to 3 won't be as hard for me.

18 to 12 was easy for me too. 18 got me off smoking and after a while seemed like too much after the tobacco withdraw went away. Dropping to 6 hasn't been too bad and way easier than quitting smoking. After giving up a 2 PAD+ Marlboro habit for 30 yrs I've found I can do anything once I set my mind to it. I was originally going to try vaping so I wouldn't have to keep going out in the cold to smoke, rental cars, motel rooms. etc. I had no plans to quit smoking. After finally stopping in a vape shop an picking up a few Twists and clearos i decided I was done with smoking. Had 4 packs of cigs sitting on top of my fridge for 9 months and never touched them. After smoking all that time i figure one day I'll eventually quit vaping even if that takes another 30 yrs. :D

Got Strawberry Symphony?? :D Queen of Hearts??
Can't fault a person for trying! :lol:

I have about 5 mil each of both. If they were full bottles, I'd definitely be up for a trade. :)

That's a great idea, thanks, Lynn!

I don't drink but I definitely understand what you're saying. I'll be keeping a bottle of Frenilla in 6 for emergencies.

No need to rush it, the time will come when you're ready. The drop from 12 to 6 was easy for me when I started dripping. It's been a little slower getting ready to go down to 3. I figured it was time once I started coughing from the strength of 6.

PBC, will be back soon (in 3mg, also)

Band Camp is on the list, but it may be closer to the 4th of July.

SPC will be a seasonal winter thing

Fret not - they'll be back (along with some new stuff!)

Congrats on stepping down mi'lady!
