I can't stand the taste of them now. I could have quit a year ago but my g/f was all "I'm not ready" and I couldn't sit here and smell hers with nothing to help me. Thankfully she committed to going down this road with me, so it's no longer a concern.

Mmm, I am just 3 weeks into vaping at 24mg and recently a bit of 18mg and I am happy I've got zero cravings for analogs if nothing else. I've got no side effects that would suggest I am being overdosed either 
So that'll do for now...
The 18mg does make me vape more juice per day though so I don't think I've lowered anything

It can be a way to get off nic completely if you want it to. Then you may or may not want to break the habit completrly. You have the control. It's up to you what you do with it. I quit smoking (2-3 PAD for 43 years) about 16 months ago. I started at 24 to 18mg nic, and over the course of about a year weaned down gradually to 4mg with no problems, issues or craving. I've been at 4mg a few months now and feel it won't be much longer before I step down to 3. Eventually I hope to kick nic completely, but if that doesn't work out it's no big deal. I'm happy with "harm reduction". Regardless if I kick the nic or not, it's pretty certain I'll keep vaping, though. I enjoy it.

You lowered your tar and all the other bad carcinogens that smoking analogs comes with. Really you have upped vapor intake but lowered you poison while nicotine has remained balanced. That's how I see it.
And perhaps upped energy consumption also as the batts do need recharged.
I was a 3 pad 40 year smoker. I started at 24mg and had some 18mg around as well. After 2-2 1/2 months I was getting some anxiety, sleeplessness, general headless chicken symptoms, so I dropped to 12mg. I tried 6mg but that led to cravings. Now, after 5 months, I have settled at 9mg give or take. That level of 9mg means I have to order 2 bottles of everything (1-6mg and 1-12mg) and then mix them. The bottom line is that I listen to my body...and the voices in my head.
I'm in the process of cutting back now, after 4 months on the vape. I started at 22 mg/ml (DIY) and I've cut that to 20. The next mix will be 18, and so on until I hit a plateau, if I do.
Ultimately I'd like to get it to zero. We'll see how that goes.

Can't wait to nix the the nicotine all together & go straight to where the flavor is.... Is it me or does the Nicotine make vaping spicy ?... tastes like the sh-t they use in the nic gum & that gives me a bad stomach

I first started on 18-24 mg. But I used to get headaches when I'd get juice in my mouth using cartos/clearos. Dropped to 12mg which helped immensely, then dropped to 6mg. I'll be going back up to 12mg as I'm vaping exactly the double I used to with 12.
I've been cutting the nic level gradually from 24/36 six months ago to 10/12 now. I haven't really put any effort into cutting down, it sort of just happened by itself automagically. Hopefully my nicotine level will continue to drop steadily, so that I can get down to zeroish before the liquid nicotine gets outlawed or overtaxed.
Is this a real threat? I've been ignoring the posts on FDA attacks or whatever because it doesn't seem realistic. Should I be ordering my DIY liquid kits now?
Just read a few threads on this and it seems it's the FDA and the pharmacy hating that we've found a new solution to getting nicotine with next to 0 drawbacks. So greedy.
Some people stay where they are some ween themselves off. Me I actually upped my nic. I was vaping a low 8mg but I was vaping almost constantly so I upped to 12mg. I'll drop back down eventually but I want to stop using it so often before I do.
All my juices are 18mg at the moment and I feel like it's a bit too strong. I might wean down a bit but I think when I find something I'm comfotable with, I'll stick with it.
My goal is to wean, but we'll see. Right now I move between 18, 14, and 8.
I received a sample of 24 that is kept as extra special emergency backup AND as a test carto for friends that want to see if vaping can give them some TH. I'm mean like that

As an old cigar smoker it may have been easier for me to get to no nic than for people with cigs, but I'm there. I still vape because I need my hands to be doing something, and my DIY tastes great. As I tried lowering nic, it just fell in place. Be awair that nic does affect throat hit, and if you need that, lowering down may not feel "right".
