What a twist: ordered higher nic-level so as to vape less!

[Tamster]

I know, I know; I'm twisted... But really, I suddenly found myself vaping all day, like a fiend. I did the low-nic (6) juice-thing, since day-one of vaping. Worked fabulously, I quit smoking trash-sticks, right away. E-cigs served my purpose, yay!

That was ~1 May. It's now 8 June, and suddenly I am craving ... I don't know what? ... Not an analog, that's for sure! (Couldn't imagine going to buy them, much less to smoke them!)

I don't know what's going on. Just that I feel like "something's missing" ... so I "relapsed" today, in a way, I think, by ordering a couple of bottles of 12 mg nic-juices.

Maybe it's because my egot's really do thin-out the "kick" - I don't know. (My throat likes the T's cause they don't burn, at all!) But I need some nic, I think!!!

(Sorry to sound like such a whiner... thanks for listening!)

I'm worried that my fear of becoming even more obsessed with e-cigs than I was with the death-cigs may be coming true! Has this happened to anyone else???

Don't feel bad, just go back and forth (low to high) whenever you don't feel the need for more nic. It's still loads better than analogs, and loads less nic than I vape!

Don't feel bad. I was no nic for over a year and then caved. Most of the time I can still go without it but then there are the other times.

There is more than nic to withdraw from. I started at 18 or so now down to 4-6 and still some 12 from time to time but the best is I'm off analogs. Don't beat yourself just enjoy the ride, it gets better all the time.

Thanks, you guys! I keep forgetting to rejoice at the fact that I haven't smoked for well over a month! If I feel like having a stronger vape, now & then, it's OK; and certainly far better than going back to that incinerator! I ordered only a couple of 12's for those break-through cravings; the rest of the order was 6's. (Not that I have to explain myself to you folks, at all! Thank you for letting me know I'm not alone in this!)

I think you're messing with juice levels too much too soon. And worrying too much about nicotine levels. I'd just get into the routine of vaping. When your juice runs low, order one step down and combine the juice. Then next time you have 1/2 a bottle and order, drop down again and mix them. Then it's a gradual proccess.

Don't worry about nic levels too much right now. Go with what makes you feel satisfied and stable. Then you can think about a cutting-back plan. Actually, 12mg is not very high in the grand scheme of things so you're way ahead of the game. Lots of people are at 24 or even 36 mg regularly. I am currently in a range from 12 to 18 mg. Going to be working my way down from there. You are doing fine. Nothing to stress about at all.

Very true, don't get in a rush. As a few posters said just get stable with vaping first, then SLOWLY reduce the nic levels. I will be a year July 9th, I am still at 4-6 and in no rush to hit 2-4, but I will get there and eventually no nic.
