I started off at 18mg per the insistence of the shopkeep (found out later he didn't know what he was talking about since I was a "Camel Light 99" smoker) but that dropped the first night when I went somewhere else and bought a 12mg liquid.
I stuck with 12mg for the first 1+ years, and only this weekend did I purchase my first sub 10mg bottles of liquid. Bought two 6mg liquids. The only reason was simply that they didn't have any in 12 and said they won't be carrying this brand anymore so I bought the two bottles of 6mg. Gotta be honest, I don't really feel any difference, I think at this point I could actually drop vaping all together since I don't actually vape much at all anymore. Couple puffs (maybe 3 to 4) on the drive in to the office, about the same on the way home, and if I've had any alcohol at home then I might puff 10 or 20 times in the night, but without anything to drink I might only puff 3 to 5 times after dinner. But I don't want to quit so I just keep on vaping.
I was a tobacco smoker for 32 years. I started out on "Parliament" then graduated to Marlboro Red, then camel non filtered (because dear old granddad smoked them) and finally down to Camel light 99.
My partner has reduced his nic levels to 6mg as well. He went first since he went sub-ohm first and found that he couldn't handle the 12mg anymore. Personally I found it's not the nic level it's the PG level. A liquid at 12mg with 15/85 (pg/vg) is very nice on 0.5ohm coil, but a 12mg with 50/50 is harsh as hell on the lungs with a subohm tank/coil.
