I tried that, still got a headache. I just put in a fresh bottle of 8mg nic and so far no headaches as of yet still kind of craving more though. May have to push myself and get used to this level.

Finding the Right Nicotine Level coupled with the Right PG|VG Level can sometimes be a Pain. But you'll get there.

I knew someone who would take 2 e-Cigarettes to work. One with their Day-2-Day Nicotine Level. The other with some Higher Nicotine.

She used the D2D for the Drive and at Lunch. And the Higher Nicotine on Her 15 Minute Breaks.

Once She got about 2 Months completely Cigarette free, She found She could just take Her D2D set-up. Because the Triggers and Cravings were behind Her.

It just sounds to me like you are actually dealing with 2 Issues:

1. What nicotine level will work for you vaping. It sounds like 8mg is close to your comfort level. As was mentioned earlier, use that over a weekend without the influence of issue #2. Also consider trying different VG/PG levels. If that works for you, then issue #1 is solved.

2. Getting through the work day. If you are only smoking "10-12 cigarettes a day", I would think the "need" for nicotine between breaks may not be the main problem. Does a smoke during that break really give you that much more nicotine then several hits from an 8mg vape? I'm just not comfortable suggesting trying to take in a higher amounts of nicotine in a short period of time is the solution. Just don't let that mental obstruction of not having a smoke influence your "need." You are still quitting smoking and that will weigh on you in this situation no matter the method used.

So get the nic level that satisfies you on your time, then convince yourself that hitting that vape during your breaks is just as good as lighting up. Soon you may find it is not just as good, but better!

Good luck and hang in there! You can make it work!

Welcome and glad you joined. Could use your 8 mg and add a drop of vg for every ml. to your tank. will do two things.
Protect you from to much PG and drop down your nic overdose. Sounds like you require less than 8 mg.

6 left me craving more. So I just went with 8mg and my juice ratio is 70vg and 30pg.
