I don't even know what I am having for breakfast this morning. How am I suppose to know what happens that far down the road with 0 nicotine? LOL
What will you do when you get down to Zero Nic

I very much doubt it. vaping from 6 to 9. Started there, will continue there. I need all the "cognitive enhancement" I can get! There's also the "what to do with my hands?" thing and the ability of beautifying such a utilitarian appliance that keeps my interest going. 
I started at 18mg a little over a year ago. Stepped down to 12 about 6 months ago. Started dripping around 4 months ago with 6. About 2 months ago threw away any juice I had that was over 6mg. Now I buy 3 or 6 which ever is the lowest the company offers and use it dripping and in tanks. When I get to 0 I plan to call it a hobby instead of a habit. I wont carry it around like life support. I plan to get off work and vape a bit watching tv just to enjoy some flavor. Maybe take it out when im drinking so i can "fit in" with the lung hackers etc.
Over the course of 5 years, my tolerance for nic has decreased, so I've gradually decreased from 24 mgs/ml to 2mgs/ml. If i get to 0 then I may wean myself from the vaping habit...but i may not. It's probably a couple of years in the future and anything can happen between now and then
I don't know. I've intentionally not really thought about what I'm going to do. I've been trying to avoid thinking about quitting vaping. Then my doctor said that I should try to quit by the first of next year. I told him that I use e cigs but he doesn't know the extent of my use. It's become my favorite hobby and I don't really plan on stopping. I'm going to drop down to 3mg next month though.
Wow, sounds like I'm the ONLY person on ECF that's actually gone to 0mg of nicotine! Lol! After 3 years of vaping, and constantly being mindful of my ultimate goal of 0 nicotine, I reached 0mg about 3 months ago. I can't even handle any nicotine any more - I tried a little 3mg juice, last night, in my ADV flavor and it about choked me. I'm STOKED to be at Zero and I'm super proud of my wife who's down to 1.5mg and 3mg that she's diluting; with the goal of zero nicotine.
I've got NO plans to quit vaping right now. I love the flavor and the cloud and the whole process. It's truly a hobby for me, rather than a habit. I can't imagine anyone validly arguing that any "habit" is a good thing. The argument that vaping is better than smoking is certainly true but it does not mean it's "good" for you - only that it's less bad. That's a very different thing than "good."
Here are my personal reasons (in order of importance, for me) for wanting to be at Zero:
1. I would like to get life insurance to protect my wife and our kids. I'm hoping to rid my body of nicotine so that I can pass any nicotine test they may want to give. The rates are SO much lower if you do not ingest nicotine. And NO, insurance companies aren't 'OK' with vaping.
2. I simply don't like being hobbled by an addiction that can leave me craving something or feeling badly because I can't ingest some product. If my device breaks and I can't get home to fix or replace it, I don't have a "nic fit." Sure, I can have backups and backups FOR my backups (like folks I've seen on ECF) but life is sure more simple when you don't have to do all that.
3. There are plenty of questions about the true safety (or lack thereof) of eliquid. There is currently a vaper-sponsored study going on that may reveal some very unpleasant findings. I certainly hope that's not the case. But, I'd sure rather be in a position to quit if something really bad comes out about vaping, at some point. There's NO way I'm going back to analogs so I look at 0mg as sort of the "prepper " way of vaping. Lol! I SO love vaping and would hate to ever have to stop but I got into vaping to improve my health and IF it were found to create serious issues I'd bail on it like I did smoking. Just seems easier/smarter to be in a position to stop if it were ever necessary.
There was a recent study that found that 70% of the studied eliquids contained diacetyl even though the brands claimed their juices were diacetyl free. I have no idea if it's accurate but there's certainly some reason to be concerned and skeptical. So, I feel a lot better about positioning myself to bail if I get bad news.

I have read that no one tests zero for nicotine. I'll never reach 0 nic, not that I care to, because I love potatoes and tomatoes and cauliflower and ...
I'm slowly working my way down to 0 nic from 18. I' at 9 now. I plan to get to 0 nic within the next year or so. I plan to continue vaping as I have found so many good flavors; and it has become a hobby as well. The DIYing and building my own coils has become rather pleasurable.
I have no plans. Plans always get messed up. Even so, after a 45+yr Bad habit, I am 2 years vaping and down to 1mg & 3mg Mixes. I have also started cutting my flavorings back by as much as 50%. I DIY my selections.
i started at 6 nic and now alternate between 3 and 0, cause I get free samples of 0 nic juice and like the flavors so much. 
But i've read some info and studies about how a small amount of nicotine can actually benefit the brain, and help protect against neurological disorders, Parkinson's, and Alzheimers,... so i'm not pushing to get to 0, nor to quit vaping. For me a large part of why vaping was SO successful was due to the hand-to-mouth-habit replacement. That was equally as important for me as the nicotine replacement; without that i was never able to quit before - THAT was the main reason why vaping worked so well for me where nic-replacement alone never did.
so at the moment i have no intention or plan to go to 0 full time, nor to quit vaping altogether.

I am down to 3 mg and have no plans of going any lower. Vaping is now my hobby.
Same here... started at 24 mg/ml and have drifted down to 4-6 mg/ml at this point. In February I'll mark 2 years smoke free!! Took me over 40 years to reach this point... No sense of urgency or pressure to hit 0 or stop altogether. Just take it as it goes and never look back...
I started with 0mg Nic and 2 month later i can go with out vaping for 24 hours. But after that, the good old muscle memory kicks in (hand to mouth) and i need to take few vape drags.
I kinda need to nic, helps with my thyroid and my meds. Started at 24, now down to 12 and I plan on getting to 6. Took me 3 years just to get to 12
Honestly, I'm down to 12mg now from the 24mg I started at, and the only way I could see myself vaping 0mg nicotine would just be to chain vape non stop, and it'd be because I bought a bottle of USP vegetable glycerin at walmart, while my flavored juices I will ALWAYS keep at a nicotine level that I can handle. I think the lowest I'll ever go is 3-6mg, I'm actually planning on going down to 6mg within the next few weeks from the 12mg I'm at.
Have been vaping with 0 and 3mg for the past few months. I vape with 3mg to satisfy my nicotine urges. I vape with 0mg most of the day to satisfy the hand to mouth habit.
I have no plans/thoughts to quit Vaping.

I dont plan to go down any further. My adv's are all 12mg, but I also have some 6mg for when I just wanna sit and chain vape in the living room, and I usually have a 30mg bottle around to throw in when I'm stressed.
That's where I'm at. Even though I vape 0mg I still crave it. That's the sickness of addiction. Pretty scary. One reason why I kinda face palm when people just shrug off even the slightest interest in one day being nicotine or even vape free. Anyone well acquainted with addiction knows that it's typical addict behavior. If it were ...... everyone would be screaming for people to get off it; but since nicotine doesn't have the stigma and this site is devoted to addicts engaging in their addiction, people take a totally different stance. Lol.
Gotta love someone that can find some obscure study justifying the use of an addictive substance. Lol. Scroll up to see what I'm talking about.

Most people quickly ask me 'Are you going to eventually quit vaping?' once they find out I started vaping to quit smoking... I tell them, honestly, I don't know. I've reduced my nic from 18 to 3... even started experimenting with some 0s, but my addictive behavior is pretty strong after 45 years of analogs. I'd like to think that 'one day' I won't vape but in the meantime I'll just reduce the harm potential because I actually enjoy the activity... something I could never say about smoking.
