Thanks so much, Andre.
What Nic strength do you use?

Almost a year since I cut down from 18mg to 12mg, don't think i'll be heading to the 9mg category anytime soon.
On the odd occasion in which I sub-ohm, i'll vape 6mg.
The throat hit on 12mg is too good

I’ve been vaping most juices at 3mg, and my tobaccos at 6mg. Having just recently kicked the stinkies (one month ago) of course, I find myself vaping a lot. That should have alerted me sooner to up the nic.
Anyway, today I received a few juices from someone. One was Vape King’s Hazelnut Cigar at 12mg and...
I really like it!
That one was a winner for me.
I also received Vape King’s VK5 juice, 18mg. At that nic strength, I was literally taking one puff and then putting it down for a small break.. another puff, then putting it down and so on lol. My lungs were like “no way, we’re not doing this!”. So now I know, 12mg is my limit.
I think this was a great opportunity for me to experiment a little with different nic strengths. From this, I think I’m going to stick to 6mg, and 12mg for tobaccos. I’ll see how that goes.

I started at 6 then dropped to 3 within the first month or 2 (all on commercial juice) then got into DIY and have now dropped it to 2,5 - can't say I really noticed any difference so will probably drop it to 2 at some point and see how that goes.
Started at 9 and now with DIY I'm down to 2, six months later. Still have 3 with commercial juices, but it is not a big difference. I think if I was to try 9 again I might just topple, timberrrrrr.......
, timberrrrrr.......

@Carnival I also find the higher nic more satisfying, but I'm trying to keep SOME of my juice at 3mg
Beware the nicotine stepladder - just one step up ... then another step up ...
I started vaping a few months ago with 3mg. Loved the flavours so much I thought I could alternate between zero and 3mg. Didn't work. l tried a 6mg and, like @Carnival, I found that satisfying. And then ... I bought a Gusto Mini which uses nicotine salts pods of 20mg nic! I loved the throat hit, but I could take only very light puffs. Now, about 2 months later, I'm used to it and I inhale much more deeply and for a longer time. Apparently nic salts are able to have a higher nic strength and still give a smooth vape, but the bottom line is that it's still 20mg!! Did I say that I want to cut down/cut out my nic? Fat chance!

@gertvanjoe It sure does. Nicotine is a stimulant, but a bad stimulant if the strength is too high or if you've vaped too much.

I don't really mind. I vape 0, 1, 2, 3. Whatever really. I'm not too fussy as long as I can inhale something.
I DIY, so my nic preference is not in the list. I vape at 4mg.
I'm at 2mg currently, ready to make the drop to 1mg.
I'm still on 6mg after quitting smokes 8 weeks ago, but since my wife and I are now mixing, I hope to wean myself down to 3mg shortly.....baby steps!
