Exactly. And with my own personal PHOBIA! about nausea/vomiting, those high levels nearly convinced me that I just couldn't do e-cigs. Fortunately I gave it one more try, with 6mg, and that did the trick.

Once I had actually quit the cigs, I discovered that I really need a little more, 8mg for a while, now trying out 9mg. But you can't usually get those levels pre-made, you have to do it yourself. If I hadn't stuck it out with the 6mg long enough to know I really could do this, I wouldn't have been around long enough to figure out that I actually need a little more than 6mg in the daytime, and long enough to purchase a lot of 6mg and a little of 24mg to raise the nic level a little.

Anything that causes nausea/vomiting (like nicotine OD!!!), COUNT ME OUT!!! Geez, I was a raging alcoholic and quit drinking when it was going to mean worshipping the porcelain goddess every day. If I never have to do that again, that will be just fine with me.

Everyone is different and it was just a suggestion. I would have to say that your situation is actually in the minority. Myself as well as countless others I have helped quit and friends I have through here and Facebook NEEDED 18mg or even 24mg. Hell I even have a friend that vapes 36mg!Now I do tell people to get a couple different strengths of nicotine to see what works for them because everyone is different. If someone is having a hard time quitting using the mg strength they are at upping the nicotine strength is a very sensible suggestion. Now if they start getting a headache or stomach gets upset drop back down. I don't think anyone in here said that you have to up your nicotine strength otherwise you'll never quit.

I found that having several tanks (or carts, or whatever) with various nic levels helped me. Most of the time, I stick with 11-12 mg juice, but switch to 18 mg every couple of hours for an hour or so. This keeps me from having the nic fit cravings or OD'ing. I also keep some 24 mg around for the occasional must-have. The advantage of this system is that I also switch flavors throughout the day, which keeps things interesting. But take my method with a grain of salt--I'm on day 5 of being completely stinky-free. It took me a month to get to this point.

BTW, I completely quit by letting myself run out to remove the temptation. I then said, "Let me see how long I can do without one," and promised myself that I will not beat myself up if I buy another pack. Quitting is stressful enough without beating yourself up over it. Each day so far, I toy with the idea of buying a pack ("Hey, it's been X many days! I've proven I can do this, so why don't I treat myself?"), but haven't done it yet. Maybe today is the day, or tomorrow, or next week. Maybe never.
