Thinking about lowering strength

[Billyz16]

Started out at 24mg and immediately stepped down to 18mg. Kind of afraid to go any lower. It has been about 2 months since the last time I smoked a cigarette. Anyone else have a problem going this low?

I'm at 18 (and started there). I like 18 and it seems to be sufficient.

I'd like to phase down to 11 eventually and was given a free 11 with my last order.

The 11 did pretty good. Most of the reason I smoke is because I enjoy smoking. The act of smoking is more relaxing to me than getting a fix of nicotine. Only reason I'm not at zero is because I am trying to ween from the analogs as well.

So I see myself as gradually lowering the content and I'm sure you could too! Maybe try and get one set of lower cartos and see how it treats you for a week. Cutting down in very small increments will give you plenty of time to adjust without symptom.

I started at a fairly high nic level and am now at 11. I spooked about the jump down to 8. However I didn't feel any problems stepping down from 18 to 11.
Everyone is different so it is a personal thing as to what works for you.

You won't know till you try. My problem was the exact opposite of yours. I started too low. I was an ultra lights smoker so I started with 4 and 8 mg, then switched to 11. I now smoke 11s most of the time, the lower strengths later in the day. Trial and error. Many people (including me) like to have different strenghts on hand. Good luck.

I found that with menthol flavors, I didn't have a problem reducing the level. I also started with 24's and am now using 11's and 8's. I have a pretty good stash of 24's, so I have one of those occasionally and they knock me on my .... now!

My problem isn't as much that I need a nicotine fix, I think, as that I need the sensation - the throat hit seems to be a huge issue for me, and nothing under 11mg did *anything* for me. I just got some Dunhall Menthol 18mgs, and yow, those were just right. I ordered some in 11mgs and am hoping the throat hit remains similar (apparently nicotine is related to throat hit, which I didn't think about when ordering a bunch of 0mg and 4 mg to start with).

Started between 11 and 14mgs.....Been 4 whole weeks today without an analog....fantastic...Also, have a few 6mgs,,,,my problem is like Madame X....
the throat hit is very important to me can just can't get that feeling with the
6mg....Will keept the 6mg for emergencies only...
Good Luck..

Thank you all for the responses. I ordered a mix between 18 and 11

I started at 18, but now can be satisfied with 11. I do keep 18s on hand also because sometimes I need more. At night when I am power vaping I usually vape 8's. I doubt during the day anything lower then 11 would do it for me because I can only have a few draws per hour during the day.

That's a good idea. I'll have to give that a shot myself. When I power vape at home on the 18s, I find I'm overdosing a bit. On the flip side, I'd much prefer to get a satisfactory dose at work in 3-4 puffs.
