Nice. I just went down to 3mg myself from 6mg using an RDA. Seems like I should have been using 3 all along. The hit is so much smoother. Only place to go from here is either cutting the juice like someone else said or 0. I'll be kind of sad when I get to 0, because there won't be much point to continue vaping then. imo of course

In tanks from 12 - 6mgs
RDA's from 6 - 3mgs

So far so good. No chain vaping or craving. Hopefully this will be a smooth ride. I've been stepping down 6mg at a time since I started and it's worked out. Just wanted to share with the gang.

Very Cool.

Is your goal to get to 0mg?

I don't think I'll ever stop vaping, even if I'm at 0 mg. I'm pretty close now, as I've been at 3 for over a year. I may just stay there. But if the time comes that nicotine becomes too expensive or difficult to buy, I'll just drop down to 0 and keep on vaping. :thumb:

I'm with you Linda.

Even if I got down to 0mg, I would still Vape.

I think I would go Back to Smoking Cigarettes if I didn't And I am NEVER going Back to Smoking Cigarettes.

Very Cool.

My goal is to get to zero and continue to vape at 0 mgs. I enjoy vaping and vested so much time into it, made lots of friends, the list goes on.

I'm making my own at this point so I'm looking to vape at the lowest price point. I bought high end flavoring and a kit from wizard labs.

I don't know about anyone else but I really enjoy building a coil to my specs, centering it on my deck and burning it from inside out. I like all those steps into building a nice coil, dual or single.

From what I've read and talked to others about is 3mg is probably the hardest to walk off of. Probably VG my way down like others have mentioned.

Thanks everybody for the encouragement. You are the friends I speak of, and one of the reasons I will continue to vape. With all the experience between us all on the board we can help new people to this culture and get them off the stink sticks.

Same here. It is definitely a better vape at 3mgs in my mutation or doge. Hindsight is 20/20. :thumbs:

I'm with you Retro.

Vaping has become more than a way to Stay Off cigarettes to me. It has become kinda a Hobby.

I like Reading about Hardware and What makes this Work. And what happens when you do This. And then Trying it myself. And DIY. There is just No End to the Flavor Possibilities Once you get an Array of Flavorings to work with.

I'm sure you will get to your Goal. And I'm also sure that you will have a Lot of Fun along the Way.

Same here. A year n half ago was at 24 mg/ml. Steeped down, down, down. Was at 3 for quite a while, then went to 2. But since I diy and make only 30 mil juice at a time, using calculation for 2 ml/mg was an odd number in all my recipes in my syringe. So I stepped down one more time to 1.6 mg/ml. Therefore my measurement on my syringe is always exactly 2 ML for a 30 mil recipe. Makes it so simple now. And I'm really not noticing any difference. I think I have more nic in my freezer then I will use in my lifetime. I haven't decided if I'll drop to zero or not just yet. I'm one who believes that small amounts of nic are NOT harmful. No more so then caffeine anyway.

BTW - You have Probably seen this site...

Coil wrapping | Steam Engine | free vaping calculators

But if you Haven't, it is a Great Way to do "What If's" when Coil Building. As well as the Other Pages for Battery Drain or the a Basic DIY Calculator.
