Good morning Tp'rs consider all posts liked
I just read all the comments about reducing nic and wondered why people felt they should be reducing nic levels. Is it peer pressure or a general feel of I don't need as much.
Way back when we started on 8mg (misunderstood the amount of nic we were smoking) it worked though and we stopped smoking immediately. Over the years I dropped that to about 6 but not for any reason other than it was easier to mix when I changed brands of nic. Hubby dropped when he went sub ohm because he felt he was getting too much nic.
I decided ages ago that I was happy with my nic content and had no intention of getting lower or even off nic but I find a lot of posts where people have plans to be on zero nic. I know that my body is programmed to function with nic and thats ok by me.
I dont know about most people, but i seriously reduced my nicotine simply because I stopped needing it.
Recently, I quit vaping all together for a few months, did well, when I came back to vaping I was going to go zero nic, but the flavor was better with nic, so depending, I now use either three mg or 6 (I got some 6 on sale so i bought it, otherwise I'm using three)
But honestly, if it weren't for the flavor being slightly different without it, I wouldn't be using it at all.
Someday i hope to be permanently successful with quitting vaping altogether though.. although not everyone wants to go that far..
Everyone is individual, and everyone just does what is best for them personally at any given time.. for me, the longer i vape the less i need it.. but everyone is different.
Just do what is best for you!
For me, the reasons behind going from 18 mg to 12 mg was a. Seeing if I could do it and b. Making my precious nic last as long as possible

@Opinionated as you said it's what's best for you, I love vaping but many a lone soldier quit altogether haha.
I don't know about anyone else, but it was my body that told me. I started at 36mg/ml, then after a few months went to 24mg/ml. Stayed there for 6 months or so, then went to 18mg/ml. Had no intention of going lower, but after a couple of years my body said it was too much, dropped to 12mg/ml, then shortly after that to 6mg/ml, which is where I am at now and have been for a while. I vape all the time, if I am awake that is, but don't miss it if I am in a situation were I can't vape for several hours. I feel I could go to zero nic and not notice it, but I think from some stuff I read, that nic is really good for brain function, and I need all the help I can get.
Bernie That makes perfect sense to me. Your body telling you to reduce is what I would expect. I was just surprised here and other places by peoples plan to reduce rather than understanding how much nic they need to function "normally"
Hey chels you've not posted much! Good to hear from you
Thanks! Nice to be missed!

I quit with 24mg, within a few days I was vaping 24mg in the day and 18 at night. Ran like that for about 6 months the went strictly with 18. Started getting headaches again in the evening so I started 12mg in the evening and eventually dropped to 12. I have no plans to drop any further. I will just do what my body tells me.
It adds a bunch of years when you drop your levels and don't increase consumption.
I came across 2 new vapers (Vaping less than a few weeks) who were both so adament that they would be zero nic inside a couple of months and I spent quite a bit of time trying to explain that nic was not bad and they needed to fully switch and just wait and see how things went.
It was like rolling rocks up a steep hill. So I gave up. I just know that their expectations are much higher than reality and once the initial euphoria of switching fades and routine of vaping kicks in they will start to feel unsatisfied if they drop too quickly.
But it was not my job to challenge their plan

Huh? You were gone? I didn't even notice. Must be why it's so easy to keep up today.
Probably!

Don't know how many squonkers we have here, but HG is running a contest on the Wasp Nano, which looks like it might be a good single coil squonk RDA.
I feel like 6 is a good place to be, for me. Good flavor and a hit of nic. I have no plans to quit nic, ever, anymore than I would quit drinking coffee. The only reason I would quit is if my stash runs out and I can't replenish it. If it was just me I have enough for 20ish years. My husband and sister vape at 12 currently but both duel use and go through very little volume. They need to get on the buying nic train 'cause I ain't footing their bill (who am I kidding!).
Morning GT bit chilly up your way this morning.
Nicotine base is probably the cheapest part of vaping. Why not just get more.
I hope not. If so, it won't be long before it's the wife's new pet name for me.

Means great respect and admiration, beats "dear" any day.
They will either figure it out or they won't. Some may be able to drop nic and then quit. Depends on the motivation and addiction. I know that I have no chance of doing that
Vape mail today. The kayfun arrived and a bunch of other stuff.
Using the PT2, and vaping 12mg/ml, I calculated and bought enough nicotine to last the rest of my life. Switched to the STM, promptly dropped to 5mg/ml and only slightly increased my consumption. I think I'm set.
I've been feeding those nicotine receptors in my brain (yes, they exist) for over 50 years. No telling what might happen if I tried to starve them now.
