Oh how exciting, I'm jealous.
Naw, just lazy
.To be honest, I didn't felt any cravings at all, in those 2 days that I only vaped. And was only vaping 2ml every 4 hours with 3mg of nic (mixed into an e-juice of 250ml). So the problem is not that much about nic levels.
What brought me back to cig after trying out vaping was the poor battery life with the 0.7ohm coil. There wouldn't have been any problems if the battery of my Zelos lasted at least 12 hours with the 0.7ohm coil running between 18-20W.
Only now, after a long and deep research into this very particular atom, I discovered that you can still vape while charging the battery. If only I knew it before.....
Oh, well. You never stop to discover new things, everyday.
But, anyway. Back on the nic topic.
Can I safely add some more mgs into my 250ml e-juice, or do I need some more juice to dilute some other 7mg of nic?
For a MTL atom 14mg of nic should already be enough, isn't it?

HI Emy, @Letitia would know much more on the subject mixology, the precise calculations are important.
Welcome and glad you joined.
I think you may have the right attitude. DIY is a good way to find the perfect juice and is key for many to quitting smoking. In order to intensifying your taste perception, I recommend looking into obtaining a RDA (It can be problematic to test flavors with a tank). I like the inexpensive Magma styled single coil RDA's.

14 mg is normally way more than enough for the average vaper. Nicotine concentration is up to the vaper.

Many thanks @BrotherBob for the useful links and for the suggestions.
I will definitely give them a look this evening.

I smoked for over 30 years and have been vaping for over 7 now. I started also at 24mg nic , not in the nautilus 2 like the OP, but a similiar mtl , low power tank . I was a 1.5 pad smoker and definitely needed 24mg and if I tried 7 or 10mg nic, I would of never done it period....the thing is, is most are vaping dtl devices now at much higher power and like 3 or 6mg, but are vaping 4x's the liquid then someone vaping an N2. If you are a 1 or 2 pad smoker and are using low powered mtl tanks, you really need 24 or 18mg nic imo which the OP is finding out.....also some new vapors may not even know the difference of mtl or dtl and see all these dtl people stating they are vaping 3 or 6mg, so they get scared that even 10 is too high. The main thing is to stop smoking and most need that nic to quit and 18 or 24 is key in those devices to do so......

Wait, you want to quit smokes, been unsuccessful and want to know why, but already have a plan to reduce to zero nic? Honestly if you really want to quit cigs, you should concentrate on that only, whatever that takes and not think of zero nic at this point. If you like the N2 and are only using 7mg, that could be the problem, you need more nic. If 7 mg is not working, you need to find a percentage that will , whether that's 12, 18, 24, or even higher. If you find 18 is doing it, but is perhaps feeling to scratchy in your throat, then try nic salts. If after that and you feel now you are getting somewhere, but not quite, try wta juices. If you feel mtl, low powered devices aren't working, try dtl, low nic, high powered devices.....these are the steps and it is not easy, but if you really want to stop smoking, you need to try these steps and not worry about a plan to stop vaping when you haven't really started yet.......sorry to be so forward , but I hate smoking and pray that you can stopYeah, the strenght is of 7mg/ml.
I used my Aspire Zelos with the 0.7ohm coil running between 18-20w.
I know I should've probably used more Nicotine. But was advised by a friend of mine to start low to see how I reacted to it, and see if I liked the idea of vaping or not.
I managed to smoke only 1 cig on those 2 days I tried vaping. So it has been a very good start, for me, despite all the problems I encountered in making my e-juice and set everything up correctly.
The only problem that made me jump back to analogs, one more time, again, was that I was very frustrated and disappointed that the 2500mah battery only lasted 8 hours (under light use), instead of 2-3 days as it should have been (according to some reviews).
Not having another unit, I didn't had anything else other than traditional cigs to replace my Nicotine intake.
I should probably buy another more powerful unit for Xmas (when I have some moneys to spend for myself), and use some Nicorettes gums when the atom is charging, during this time. Only problem is that I fear of having a sort-of Nicotine overdose.
That said, is there someone, on here, who has alternated vaping and gums successfully?
Will be very interesting to know if I can alternate vaping and gums.
Thanks for your help, guys.
I really appreciate your advices!

7mg of Nic, to be honest, didn't made me crave a single cig at all. It did hit, not as strong as it should've been, but it was more than enough, for me. No migraines, lethargy or stomach aches/acid reflux. None of this at all.
Considering that I smoke Slims and no longer Marlboros, since 3 years, now, I would say that the hit was as close as the Rothmans I smoke. Mellow, but definitely noticeable. And my body and my stomach thanked me, somewhat, on those 2 days of heavy tryouts.
Unfortunately, due to my chronic IBS (which got worse over the years, thanks to Big Tobacco), have to be careful about what I eat, how much straining/weight lift/exercise I can do and be very careful about supplements, herbs, vitamins and even medications, like antibiotics or even aspirin.
So, taking into account that, I guess higher nic levels would probably make me sick, just as much as the Reds did, when I was smoking 2 full packs a day of them.
But VG, on the other hand, with its sweet sugary taste, definitely made me puff even late night. And I enjoyed my morning coffee and breakfast like I never did before. So if there's something I really crave, now, is definitely VG.
Nicotine or not, it was a pleasant experience and worth the try, nonetheless.
Anyway, i'm not looking forward to turn vaping into a long-time habit. Once I wean myself off completely from analogs, and all the toxins I accumulated over the years get expelled and feel that I no longer need to have a stick or a gum in my mouth, I will probably donate my kit to someone or just put it away on my wardrobe.
The main goal is to get my life and my health back.
It was great experiencing smoking, back when I was 14.
But now, after all these years and with all the toxins I inhaled from analogs, I feel like i've been just wasting my life/health doing ...... for so long.
I've been extremely sick, in these past 3 months. I'm not going to explain eveything but, suffice to say that turning almost 30 and have leg circulation problems (despite all the exercise and walks you do) and waking up feeling almost as you have some sort of neurological disease or a stroke coming on, is definitely not a very wonderful perspective to be in anymore.
I consulted all the doctors I could. It's not the Valium or the Paroxetine I take for my depression/anxiety problems. It's all the bad stuff in analogs that turns even your everyday medical therapy into a trainwreck.
So, whatever it takes to quit this very unhealthy habit, I will do it.
Stay healthy, man. And don't worry about being too forward.
I appreciated your input and your take on the subject.
So, beginning tomorrow, I will no longer buy analogs ever again.
I just made a plan, and thought about sharing it with you, to have some opinions/views/tips about it.
We've all been there, after all, so why keep it secret?
Anyway, I will make a new juice, during the upcoming week, consisting of only VG/PG (without any flavours or nicotine in it) and I will also buy a pack of 105 Nic Gums (4mg strenght each) at the Pharmacy that I will use in the morning and before going to bed (the hours where I tend to smoke the most) and will alternate them with some vaping, during the day, whenever I feel the urge to have something to smoke.
2 gums a day of 4mg in strenght, for 2 weeks, should be able to cover my Nic intake, while the vape will take care of any other physical cravings. After that, I plan to slowly cut off on the gums, too, and just chew regular cinnamon or menthol gums.
During this period, I will also exercise, going for long walks during this period, so my mind will also be busy with other tasks other than smoke.
As for the vape, I don't think it will be that hard to leave it once the Nic addiction is over.
Hope this plan will go as smooth as possible.
