Insanity-or fairly normal? Either way, I think my mind is set.

Hi people. Hope you are all doing ok.

I was making my juice 0 Nicotine, and quite enjoying it. My missus is using 3MG juice that I make, so I tried some.

My god. It was the same flavour I was using, same mix, just with nic vs without. With nicotine tasted at least twice as good, I would say more.

So, I proceeded to make a juice, at ONLY 1MG. That also tasted amazing compared to no nic.

All the studies I have read suggest nicotine is not addictive alone, and is when the cigarette companies add other chemicals. Thats why vaping works, you ARE addicted to nicotine, but only because of other chemicals in cigarettes.

I also learnt I get nicotine in a small amount comparable in my food, like potatoes.

I understand nicotine is NOT a carcinogen, so I am not worried in that respect. I also went in with the mentality to quit CIGARETTES that it will be a doddle. It was, I did not even experience withdrawal.

So, after 10 months nic free, I am using 1MG as it makes the flavour so much different, and I now understand what 'throat hit' Is. That was missing, but I did not realise untill I tried juice with nic in.

I am currently vaping a cappuccino with 1MG nic in it. I am not worried about addiction, due to the studies, but I think it is worth it due to the AMAZING increase in flavour.

I am of sound mind,(Slight brain damage but I am thinking clearly) and this is a conscious decision on my part as I am now chasing flavours more than clouds, and I feel using the Nic in tiny amounts is worth it for the flavour only Nicotine can provide.

I have given up a severe Alcohol addiction, and I was hooked on the brown stuff in a pin, but beat both of them.

So, do you think this is insane, or a reasonable decision to get better flavour? I may even some times make it without to compare, if I prefer it without I will use without. But I do understand, I am taking something, that is most likely non addictive, or mildly, alone, in the safest delivery method possible.

It has been all over the news in the UK,with one DR saying 95% safe, another saying there is zero danger on TV yesterday.

Thank you for sharing. I enjoyed reading this.
I may try some lower nic based on what you have shared here.
Honestly, in a straight to lung tank, 6MG was far too harsh. 3MG went down much easier, and because you get so much more vapour, it satisfies the craving too for Cheyenne. But I will just be using 1MG due to the AMAZING flavour change from 0 to 1MG.

A little nic in your liquid could even be beneficial, with the stimulant benefit of a cup of coffee as well as possible reduction of alzheimers symptoms. I say vape away!

True, I did not know of the alzheimers prevention, plus a little stimulant wont hurt.

Sorry if people have got confused, it is my fiancee who has reduced from 6MG to 3MG, I have not used nicotine for 10 months, but due to it making the flavour so much better, I am going from 0 Nicotine to 1MG nicotine.

It sounds like your reasoning as well as your mind is sound, #conanthewarrior. My wife took up vaping at low levels after she learned of the possible, potential a proven benefits of nicotine despite never having smoked.
