The Cure - I think I can do it this time

[Moonbogg]

I tried to taper down to 6mg a few months ago, and failed because I felt like I was inhaling flavored air. Two weeks ago I tried quitting cold turkey from a 12mg habit. I made it a week, but failed hard.
The Cure became one of the most satisfying vapes I ever had due to its flavor, but especially that satisfying feel and taste as I inhale and exhale. I love to slip stream it and let lots of cool air mix in for a nice throat hit and I can feel the vapor.
I bought a few 6mg juices again and tried the 1st one. It tasted good but was like inhaling air again. Then I loaded up The Cure and was shocked. The satisfaction is nearly identical to 12mg. The throat hit is there and that unique satisfying inhale and exhale is there. It bites the throat and lets me feel the vapor. I think this might actually be my cure and I think I can get off nicotine with this stuff.
I love vaping but hate the nicotine addiction. I'm a slave to it and think I actually have a chance with this juice. So thanks.

I might need to keep The Cure around for a while longer! I am working my way down to 6 mg but it has been difficulty because I still have so much in 12 mg. Thanks for posting your success and Cure!

That's great! Hope it goes on working for you!

Fortunately, I found it easy to get down to 6, and am now averaging around 4 ...hoping for 3 before the year is out. Just taking it slow.
I don't care how long I use vaping, but if I can ever do it without nicotine, I'll be very happy ...and very surprised too - but I'm slowly trying!

Could you make it work by adding a bottle of lower strength and gradually increasing the level of the lower?
That's how I've been doing it, and have two that I mix 6 and 3 together in some 100ml bottles, but also use 3 on it's own now and then ...keep hoping I don't 'notice' the difference

Hi Pictor! If I don't get any nibbles in the NT swap that is exactly what I plan to do! I already have some juice in 6 mg that I can mix with the 12 but my absolute favorite is Cheesecake and I can't mix that one down. I will probably need to break down and use my BOGO! I also thought of just using my 12 mg in the mornings. I really want to lower because when school starts up again I will be a basket case for the first few weeks!

Seeing you love the Cheesecake so much, you won't want to reduce it with Passion Cake I suppose? Frenilla or CB?

I don't envy you that!
If I'm having a stressful time, I have had a couple of occasions where I seek out some 6mg, but when I'm out or sat chatting with visitors over dinner or coffee, I can manage not to even think about it for a considerable time ..perhaps 3 hours or more.
Absolutely having to do without would be another matter!

Hope you can work it out. I honestly have hardly noticed any difference by stepping it down to around 4 most of the time, so I'm hoping another little step to 3 won't be a problem.

I keep a bottle of the regulars around in 0mg so I can make what ever I want in an emergency. I've been at 6 for a while now, down from 18. So far the only 2 stragglers from the beginning are Virus and GCD and both are somewhat used and are in 30ml bottles.

6 seems to be a good place for me, juice consumption is reasonable and I get plenty of warning if I chain vape too much before the headache sets in for good. Not planing on quitting at this point just like I wasn't really planning on quitting smoking when I started this, but you never know.

I was happy at 6 too, and stepped down to some at 4/4.5 just to see if it made much difference (It didn't), and I'd be happy to stay this way, but the talk of gloom & doom regarding EU legislation/restrictions has made me wary.

I bought a small freezer and have begun stockpiling 72mg nicotine. If things eventually get as bad as some speculate, I want to try getting as low as I can beforehand, and then, if necessary, to zero if at all possible. If I ever do stop using nicotine or indeed vaping, I want it to be on my terms and not those of ignorant bureaucrats! There! rant over

Sooooo I had enough 12 mg and 6 mg to mix my ACB, Band Camp, Frenilla and Cheesecake down to 9 mg. Not down to the 6 mg I wanted but it's a start! I will buy more juice and bring it down to 6 over time! It's a good thing I was a hoarder when it came to my old NT bottles!

Nice! Far less likely to notice it this way too
Have you tried any 6mg by itself yet?

 

[57chilicat]

I had some 6 mg because that is all I use in my REOs. My goal is to go 3 mg in the REOs and 6 mg when I use my ISticks and tanks! Ultimately I would love to be nicotine free! Unless I can find a part time job where I can vape when I retire next year!!!!!

Awesome to think I am providing a product that might just improve your quality of life.

Sounds like a great plan!
I can't quite imagine being nicotine free, but then, not smoking never entered my head until a week before I had my last cigarette, so it may be possible.
Not having the hand to mouth and taste part of this would probably be far harder (for me) to be without, but that prospect isn't even a dot on the horizon right now

No 'might' about it - just carry on carrying on ...there'll be many more!

No doubt about it Clark! I might get nicotine free but I will probably ALWAYS vape NT juice!

I'm stuck at 12mg and personally, I like it that way. Whenever I get 6mg or less juice, I just plow right thru it like it's an icy cold drink on a hazy, hot, and humid day! 12mg is the throttle to my vaping habit, especially when $$$ is tight. 3-5 mls a day is what I usually vape and remains well within my budget. If I go lower it'll cost more and then I get the stink eye from Mrs Underdawg. I don't like the stink eye from Mrs Underwdawg.....not....one....bit!

But I do understand the dependence on nicotine, I find my cravings now with vaping pales in comparison when smoking the analogs. I can also go longer stretches without nicotine and not having the sudden urge to bite some poor souls head off for giving me the.......stink eye!

I wish ya the best of luck on achieving your goal!

 

[57chilicat]

I have to admit I chain vape on 6 mg and I don't on 12 mg! My main reason to try to decrease is that the work day is miserable without vaping! I get use to vaping whenever I want during the summer break and then boom, 150+ students and no nicotine! Shoot I remember the days when teachers had a smoking lounge! Of course they all smelled like an ash tray!

 

[Underdawg736]

Ohhhhh that would most definitely do it! 150 kids and no nicotine for hours on end.....yikes! I can totally understand where you're coming from. I remember always walking by the teachers lounge back in the day....yup nothing but a thick cloud of smoke!

Oh dear ...it wasn't just smoke in the staff room when I was at tech. ...we set the hedge on fire on the far side of the field one day trying to make cigarettes from dry grass ....what a terrible road to tobacco use I set myself on that day! - never mind, took over 40 years, but I found some 'vape' salvation

Congrats ! I'm down to 6mg for about a year now & it works for me... I don't see any reason to go lower right now.
