I started out chain-vaping 36mg 9 weeks ago. Within 2 weeks cut down to 30mg and then 24mg BUT I found myself thinking more and more about analogs. They weren't even heavy cravings (I would describe it as fond thoughts of analogs) but it scared me so I went back up to 30/36 for another 4 weeks. A couple of weeks ago I felt confident enough to try the 24mg again and have been vaping that since, with no cravings. I will always have 36mg on hand.

That happened to me too! I was comfortable at 24 but tried 18 for a few days.. I started remembering all the great times me and my smokes had together. It wasn't like a craving at all, it was like thinking fondly about smoking.
I started with 18 & 24 but struggled. Went to 30 and got off the cigs and after 1 month dropped back to 24. Now 6 months later I find that 24 during the day is great but since I mindlessly chain-vape at night I am starting to go back to 18 for the evenings.
Personally I found the difference between 24 and 30 to be MUCH more noticeable than the diff between 18 & 24...even though it's a lower percentage of difference.
Like many here, I started out with 36mg, and over the months have worked my way down to 24mg. I even tried 18mg, but quickly went back up to 24mg. I was a heavy smoker for 56 years, so I require a higher level of nicotine.
Started on the 36 but have been at 24 for a long time now going on 2 years, been trying to drop down to 18 but finding it tough to do so, I see a trend here with people at 24mg trying to go to 18mg but can't
i cant imagine going 36mg, i think id get nic overdose quick. i went from about a pack a day to 18mg, now im down to 12mg and i think im good with that, i vape alot.
Exactly!! The psychological addiction is huge for me. It's almost like losing an old friend. Sounds crazy but that is how I feel some times. Any advice?

if 24 (and the occasional 36) works for you stick with it. If you were planning to eventually lower your mg and maybe stop vaping one day then I can't offer any advice. I plan to keep vaping forever (likely at 24mg).
I read a study where smoking can destroy your dopamine receptors in your brain over time - so it is possible that long time smokers will never be able to process dopamine the same way non-smokers (who never smoked) are able to. IMO, quitting nicotine (for me) would be like taking an anti-anti-depressant (taking sad pills?) for the rest of my life... that's the last thing I need.
