just curious as to what nic level everyone is mixing at and what your goal is. kinda want to brag to I guess since I just made the switch this past week from 6mg to 3mg. so far so good. started at 24 a year ago and have slowly brought it down . I'm pretty sure I will never cut out nic completely but I do like being at such a low percent and my flavors are much better . so , where are you guys at ? :) :)

I started at 24mg/ml with vendor liquids, a little higher for DIY, currently about 15 with no desire to drop lower. Anywhere 12-20 suits me fine - not sure I could really tell the difference if I didn't write it on the bottle.

I have slowly dropped from 24 mg to 14 mg. Actually a bit below that because I make my base at 14 mg and then add flavors. ;)
I recently dropped from 16 mg so I still have juice made with that. I don't pay attention the what mg I am vaping and have never felt I was missing something. I have used a dripper for the past 6 months or so, so I have a few drops of this and then a few drops of that all the time.

I was a stogie sucker when I started vaping and I went with 36mg of nic.

Then dropped to 24 which was a bit of a bitch, then to 18 and here I am at 12mg. Thinking I may drop to 10 with my next order as BEJ will completly customize your nicotine level for you.

I started with clearomizers and cartomizers at 24. Moved on to 18 and then 12. Dropping the nic levels has been like patting myself on the back moments for me. When I switched from regulated mods to mechanicals and rda's, 12 was too strong, and I dropped to 6.
From there I dropped 5,4, and am now at 3. All since last November.

I have to admit though, every time I lower nic levels (after 6), I consider dropping in increments of .5 :D
I believe I will cave in on that consideration dropping below 3. ;)

I started at 18 and it was soon clear to me that wasn't high enough, so I went to 24 to satisfy my cravings. I am still at 24 and have no desire to, or see any reason to wean myself down since I dont plan to quit vaping and like the throat hit higher nic provides. I don't sub-ohm very often, but on the odd occasion when do, I may drop to 18 or even 12 just for that...

agreed I dont ever plan on quitting vaping. I enjoy vaping like I did smoking. if I didnt vape I would smoke. seems to be pretty much what I figured, the device used kinda determines what levels people are using. if I still used cleros I might be at 18 and 24 still, went to 6 when I started dripping then switched to kayfuns and had to go back to 12 and then down to 6 and now back to dripping again. started at 6 but couldnt handle it so had to lower it to 3. I am liking it right here for this moment in time. who knows might be back on ego batteries and cleros this time next year ha. so many options

I started at 24mg, now about 12 - 15mg. Might stay here, might go lower. Whatever the body says to do, lol.

I started at 18mg, but had to go to 24mg for a short time, then back to 18mg. After about 3 months of that, started decreasing by 2mg every month to 6 weeks. I've gotten as low as 10mg, but had to go back to 12mg. Lately I've been chain vaping like a mofo, so I decided to up it just a tad. Last base I made at 15mg.

Stress or something.

When I'm at home I drip 6mg, mostly, other wise I fill a tank with 12mg. I don't have any desire to go any lower 'cause I don't get cravings like I did when I was smoking. I can go several hours without, no problem, when I was smoking after an hour I'd be going crazy.

I vape a lot but I honestly think* I could quit or do 0mg without any trouble but I like the nic and don't see any reason to quit.

Started at 18 in July, 2013. Was at 12 by mid August, 2013. Went to 6 by mid September, 2013. I've stayed there since, but I've been thinking of going lower. I don't plan to quit vaping. I like it. :D

I've been using 24mg and 36 {WTA jooz} for 4 years. Can't see any reason to go down.
I drip 24 as well usually.

Like I always say,

Whatever floats your boat, blows up your skirt, gives you grins and giggles (sorry I am out of stuff at this point) as long as you are happy that is the only thing that is important and the only thing that counts!

But I will draw the line and to quote Monty Python "I will fart in your general direction" if you ever brag about vaping 36mg Sweet Potato E-Liquid:p

That would just be flat out DISGUSTING:eek:

Started out at 24mg but quickly dropped to 18mg. Held there about a year hen down to 12mg. Held a year and started DIY and subohm about the same time and dropped to 6mg. Now, I have base mixed at 3mg, and grab vendor juice every now and then at 6mg, but have to go easy with the 6. Next mix session gonna make some 0mg and see how that rolls.

Someday Im going to hire a guy to walk behind me clapping two coconut shells together and pretend Im riding a horse thru town just to see how people react.

I started at 21mg and am now down to 8-10mg since Feb 2010. Ill be at 2-4mg by Christmas time this year. I drop down 2mg every month or so now. Id like to be 0 nic by January sometime and keep vaping just for enjoyment.

I started at 18mg. When I bought my WL nic and noticed a metallic taste I started doing some test batches all the way down to 6mg before the metallic taste was not dominating my flavors. Now that I'm using VT, I'm between 6-8mg and like HIC stated, don't know that I'd notice the difference if I didn't write on bottles even at higher levels.

WOOT A report on Nicotine levels and I get to communicate with others which I cant on the other forum, ;)

Anyway, I started at 28mg some years ago. quickly went to 24 within the first year, and now maintain at 15mg. At 15 I can vape as much as I want and no headaches. No I do not plan on quitting. :)

I started at 18 and had horrible analog cravings. Within a week, no more analog cravings. Another week, 12mg, another couple of weeks, 6mg. A month and a half after that, and I just mixed up my first 3mg batch today. :)

Chain-vaping and getting a tad foggy. Time to cut down (nic, not vaping. ;) ).

Started at 24 about a year ago and have dropped and gone back up with the changing of situtations. 12 mg if I'm really stressed, 6 mg normally and 0mg if I'm having a good carefree day

Started at 18mg vendor recommended. No can do . . . quickly changed to 12mg
12mg for months . . . switched to drippers
Now I mix at 6mg, 3mg or 0mg. Whatever strikes me at the moment.
I am prone to chain vaping. Don't think its the nicotine addiction driving me anymore, it is the oral gratification of vaping. I guess I should not be surprised by that, as a child I was a thumb sucker.

BTW the other day I was drinking a bit in excess and bought a pack of my old brand. MY GOD cigarettes are NASTY. I managed to smoke two out of the pack and said NEVER AGAIN.

Over the past three years I’ve gone from 24mg to between 3mg and 6mg. I tried going zero nic for a while but really missed the nic – no matter how big of a lung hit I took, it just didn’t feel satisfying. Moved back to the 3 to 6 mg range and have stuck with that for about the past year. Don’t see that changing much in the future.

Along with the nic change I’ve been moving more toward VG-heavy mixes. I now usually mix at 80vg/20pg. Anything that has more PG in it tends to give me too much of a throat hit.

Started at 18 but quickly went down to 12, and after months now have dropped to 0 mostly.
Still do some tobaccos at 1-2mg tho.
Then...
Fell off the wagon a month ago and started analogs again for a couple of weeks.
Quit again, been just over a week now, jeez what a PITA...
Might have to up the nic again IDK, still struggling.

Pretty happy at 3mg/mL, but I've been vaping MUCH more. Now at 5-6mL/day from 2-3mL/day.

I started at 24 on May 10th of this year. Gradually started bringing myself down towards 18mg. I've been mixing some 6 just for when I want to chain vape my drippers. Still vaping 18 in my Kayfuns and Russians. When things are particularly stressful I'll throw some 18 or 24 in a dripper and feel the nic wash over me lol. So pretty much 18 on average now, while slowly working my way down to average out at 12.

Lots to love about making your own juice. I'm working my way to zero nic by dropping in increments of .25 heheh.
I am now vaping 2.75 mg/ml nic. :rolleyes:

I guess it doesn't really matter if I have a goal of my own as it looks like the state and federal governments are going to regulate and/or tax it to death. I'm going to keep stocked up with 3-5L of nicotine until I know what the future holds. I calculated that 3 L will take care of my needs for over 20 years at a rate well over double my current usage, so the FDA can go fuck themselves. When the People's Republic of Maryland decides to apply outrageous taxes they too, can go fuck themselves. IF I ever get to my last half liter of nic, I will start tapering my way down to 0 nic.

Either way, the FDA and the state will NOT get the opportunity to fuck me.
