Sure it is different. But on average its 1 mg.

That's what I read too.

In my case, I used to smoke 40 cigs per day (40mg Nic in a 24 hour period)

Now I vape 5 ml per day of 15mg Nic juice (75mg Nic in a 24 hour period) ... but what I don't know is how many of those 75mg Nic are actually absorbed in my body.

Oh well ... At least this vaping has kept me completely off cigarettes for the last 2 years and 3 months ... and I don't wake up in the morning coughing my brains out anymore ... and don't get short of breath like I used to after doing a little work around the yard.

After 40 years of smoking 1.5 to 2 packs of 'full flavored' cigarettes every day, it's a miracle that my lungs even work anymore!

I've seen numbers from 90% (from published research) to 50% (opinion). I do not believe in 90% (somewhat anti-vaping paper), I'd rather accept 50%...

 

[Flt Simulation]

I like the 50% number ... If that's true, my 75mg of Nic is actually 37.5mg absorbed in my body.

That's slightly less that the 40mg Nic I absorbed in my body when smoking 2 packs of 'Reds' per day.

Kinda makes sense to me since vaping 5 ml of 15mg Nic juice per day seems to satisfy my old 2-pack per day nicotine habit.

Well, at least I am not getting all that nasty tar and God knows what else is in those cigarettes I used to smoke.

Another big plus is money saved ...

The cheapest generic cigarettes I found here in Florida costs me $38 per carton:

2 packs per day x 30 days per month = 60 packs per month (6 cartons) x $38 per carton = $ 233 Monthly

I now make my own juice that costs me .10 cents per ml to make at home:

5ml juice per day x 30 days per month = 150ml per month x .10 cents per ml = $ 15 Monthly


BIG BIG Difference !

I vary, was at 6 mg and 3 mg, went back to 9 mg, but can handle less nic if necessary. Sometimes I love zero nic key lime pie flavor, very refreshing

Started at 36mg.. Went down to 24mg for a few years. Over the past year I've weined myself down to 12 mg. Seems to be my sweet spot. Good th and taste ratio.

If I remember correctly - I got up to 30mg for a few weeks to get off my last few cigs (the morning and after meal ones) and over time I am down to 12mg. Tried to go lower, but caught myself vaping more - satisfied, but increased vaping - 12mg has been my level for a while now - I will try to go lower again someday, but for now I want to control nic level and vaping volume level...

Down to 2mg currently. I do chain vape frequently but it's either out of boredom or the fact that I can openly vape at work so I have a mod in my hand 90% of the time if I'm not busy.

When I do get busy, I don't get nic fits so I guess it's just because it's such a low dose. I was going to order another liter of 100mg nic to put in the freezer but I still have half of the one I ordered right at a year ago and will probably be off nic before I finish it.

Vaping 1.5MG at present and will be doing all my DIY batches at 1.5 from now on. Have to edit all my recipes. As I mix more I will make them all half of my current 3MG.

First off, I always smoked MTL, so I vape the same way. Because of that I need a little more nic then most, much more then if I was directly inhaling.

OK, Now that we have that out of the way, I started on 36. I needed it to get off the cigs without too much panic. Stayed with 36 for about 10 months. Then as I got into sub ohms and lower and lower coils, needed to go to 25 so that I did`nt get nic sick. Then after about a year and half and usually hitting well below a half a ohm, went to 20. Now @ 2 years we just went to 18,,,,,,, "Cause we could".

I think we may try and get as low as we can depending on what the Federal Dumb A^%$#`s do. It would be nice to be off it or so close to being off it that they can kiss, KMA!

You notice I use We a lot. This is because it was much more important to me to get my wife off the cigs then myself, but I knew it had to be a 2-fer. She had already had some health problems and they were just going to get worst. I`m happy to report that she is just as happy vaping as I am and vaping has been a total success in our household. We are both 50-ish and 2 PAD smokers and it has probably saved our lives.

I started at a 24mg when I first started about 2 years ago. Now I'm at a 6mg. I've tried to go down to a 3mg, but it doesn't give the sensation that I like. Hopefully one of these days I will go down.

 

[HauntedMyst]

Around 6 to 9 mg

 

[SteveS45]

At present switching between 3MG and 2MG with periods of 1.5MG. Not missing the Nicotine so far. Once all my DIY is 1.5MG then time to make Zeros.

Same sort of game plan. Been on 2mg the last 4 days after a year on 3mg and don't feel any different so the next batch will probably be 0. I'll pocket carry the 0 at work with 2 in the office to see if I have any withdrawal symptoms or higher than average .......ness. If yes, try 1 in the pocket. If no, well.... 0, I guess. I think it's more of a habitual thing when getting so low on dosage.

I have already done a few afternoons with Zero Nicotine of samples I got from one of my Vape Shop guys. I can do and I really do not feel any of the physical withdrawals at the present time and like you said is it habitual or all in our heads at so low a percentage.

I'm going backwards started of nautilus for days then drippers with 3 for at least a yr. now I'm not so keen on direct lung and been loving the kfun lite. Went 6 then 9 now I'm at a grand old 12. I find it really pleasurable to chill with the whispers. Think that has a lot to do with non smokers in the house. 36mg I'm on my way.lol

Started out WAY too high, like 24 on cig a likes and egos. Then gradually dropped down 18, 16, 12, 6. You really don't need over 6 if you have a sub ohm box mod I've come to realize. I forgot I had a 6 and 12mg mixed in my tank yesterday, tried to practice vape tricks, got a little nauseous hahaha. I really need to drop down to 3.

3 is where it's at. Keep some 6 around for if you think you gonna have a long day. I find I'm not as addicted now. 3 gives a nice little buzz. And if I do have a couple beers and crave a cig. Like 5 or 6 puffs on 100w and the craving goes away. YMMV. But I find 3 to be ideal. I might buy some zero for tricks.
