I started out with 12 mg using egos and clearomizers. As I've moved up the ladder to RBA's and a Reo, I've continued to use 12 mg. Only time I over-did the nic was trying to lung-hit a sub-ohm, dual coil, wide open airflow atomizer, which made me a bit woozy for a few minutes. Just this week I mixed some 6 and 12 mg juice to make 9 mg juice, and I can tell the difference, I'm going through more juice with just that tiny change.

I did 12mg of beard one evening, all evening in pub, in the magma with dual coils. The next day I was a bit rough. Just too much for me. I try to keep it down to 3-6 if I can. But the local shops just don't have 3mg's :(

At a local shop, I decided to try out a Space Jam flavor (the apple one cuz I love apple). It was 6mg, dripped into my Magma built at .2ohms on my Mech. Did not expect the coughing fit I had 2 seconds into the inhale!!! lol, I used to vape 6mg no problem. I continues on with lighter drags, but I certainly over did the nicotine :p.

These days, I realllllly like 1.5mg. Very smooth clouds of vapor and it keeps my cravings away! I have been buying some 3mg lately as well, but some flavors have too intense of a throat hit at that level. I never thought I would see the day that 3mg is actually too much!

When I first quit smoking I was using 24-30mg because I thought I needed it. I was suing a cigalike that produced so little vapor it wasnt until I got a mouthful of juice that I realized how much strong nicotine burns. I then dropped this to 18mg. Then when I started using cartos/tanks I dropped to 12mg and stuck with that for a long time. Then when I moved onto decent tanks and RDAs I dropped first to 12mg, then 10mg and now I'm on 6mg and still falling.
The first time I mixed a batch on 0% nic PG for use in a sub-ohm build on a mech, I realized how little of the satisfaction I was getting came from the nicotine and how much of it came from the just the vapor.

Do they have 0mg? If so, buy a bottle of 6mg and a bottle of 0mg. Mix the 2 together and get 3mg.

18mg here in my drippers or any other atty I use. I usually run either Spheroids or my drippers anywhere between .6 - 1.0 and around 20-25 watts and 100% VG juices.
I want throat hit that almost hurts!
Tried going down to 12mg but the lack of TH had me going right back up to 18mg with no intentions of going any lower.

I am with you there. I drip 18 - 24 mg depending on Nic level availability. I run mine a bit hotter thought (.2-.3 range)

I was a dipper not a smoker. I want a fast in your face nic hit. I actually find its easier to over do it with a 6mg cloud machine then my all day set ups with high nic.

If there's much more than 50% pg in fruit juices, I notice the magma gets all magma-ey very quickly. I have to vape them well below 15 watts in a magma.

I mix my juices a lot. A whole a lot. But I almost never see 0mg in anything I enjoy vaping. However, with how much my RDA's blow flavour, I bet I could get away with simply 'watering' some of it down with a bit of VG.
