I cut down VERY gradually. After the first 6 months or so I mixed some at 18mg instead of 24mg just to see if I could tell the difference. I didn't, so I stayed there for three months and then bumped down to 12mg. I still didn't have any cravings at all so around my one year mark I went down to 6mg without a problem. I figured that if I could cut it in half like that without noticing it then I must not be very addicted to nicotine anymore so I'm going zero. My juice is getting stupid cheap to mix too. The most expensive ingredient is the flavoring. :)

    I usually use the 32mg silverleaf menthol that Wiz turned me onto a while back but have tried the 24mg SLM. The flavor is a little different but not bad. Wiz if you mix down to 18 or 12 then you'll have to let me know how the TH is at that level. To be honest, I haven't even really tried to down my nic level. I only vape about a ml a day but use snus also.

    Mist.......I truly think that our addictions are driven by the habit of hand to mouth and the sensation(or throat hit),we get when taking a puff. I have always believed that nicotine can be controled if you can mimic the other two.

    Hitt.......With the SLM you might need to boost the menthol and/or flavor at lower nic strengths to get the same TH. I think the flavor shotsw might help there.

    At the rate I cut back I really didn't notice a reduction in TH (although there definitely WAS one) as I progressed but I tasted some juice my buddy John (Dr. Fred on ECF) had about a month ago that was 36mg and I thought it blew the back of my head off. Choked the hell out of me.
    Dr.Fred is "Hardcore"! My kinda guy! LOL!!!

    I've never been really much of a mixer. I used to mix my own tobacco and menthol before I found the SLM. I am still looking for my favorite tobacco. Right now I'm liking the vg camel from good prophets. Most tobaccos I try are too sweet for my taste or don't really taste like tobacco. Every once in a while I'll get out an old liquid for a while just for fun.

    Wiz, the shipping is only $5. I don't think that's too bad since they send it in a box. Don't you ever pay shipping? Heck Drew used to charge $7 but he also had a good coupon code that was good on every order that offset the cost until people who placed small orders .....ed enough to get him to drop the shipping to $3 but now the coupon code is only 5% and only good on orders over $40. To me they kind of ruined it for the people that placed decent sized orders.

    Hitt.........I always make sure my PS orders are over $99 to get the free shipping. Thats why I only order when there is a sale...LOL!

    Silly me, and I thought it was to get 20% off. I hate to admit it but I didn't know about the $99 free shipping until you mentioned it. If I'd spent a little more I could have gotten it.

    Hitt......With all of the suppiers out there now I'm sure that PS will have more than 2 sales per year now. I remember two years ago when PS had a sale........You couldn't keep up with the sale thread! Now it's like a ghost town. With the exception of You,Me and The Doc!

    I realize this thread was originally about Vapor King's storefront but I wanted to share this with Wiz, at least. Kalamazoo Vapor Shop has a new storefront. Patty(my wife, BTW) and I are going out to the Benton Harbor/ St. Joseph area to hang out on Lake Michigan this week end and are planning to go into Kalamazoo on Saturday to check out James' shop and catch some dinner at a nice brew pub there. Here's a link to KMV's site with pics of the new store. Welcome To The Kalamazoo Vapor Shop!
