an honest to goodness post from the heart thumbs up to you
 
Thanks @kelly22 Great post, just lately just not getting the same satisfaction that I used to, started my journey on 18mg nic strength, moved to 12 and now on 6mg, don't know if the body has adjusted, but going to try a 12mg strength to see if that helps.
Keep on vaping away....
 
@Darlside the body does adjust ,also depends on ur gear if u are vaping above 1 ohm and drop ur nic too fast the satisfaction decreases but as u change ur gear and go into the lower ohms you will find that the lower nic is sufficient

@kelly22 I am vaping at 0.2 to 0.8ohm, Billows v2, even tried my trusty Artic with 0.2 and 0.5 ohm coils, have plenty of mods, including the Sigelei 150W TC, just going to get a bottle of 12mg from @Zeki Hilmi and see how it goes

Hi @DarkSide
@kelly22 is right. I think many folk drop down their nic too quickly
Just for your info, i am still primarily on 18mg nearly two years in
Ok, im not vaping at very high power - mostly around 15 to 20 watts, but if i try 12mg i dont get enough satisfaction on most juices. Some work but most of them i still need 18mg.
 
Im lost wat did i miss?

Well told truths there @kelly22.
@DarkSide - agree, do not lower the nic too quickly. After all, nic is in the same league as caffeine. For me, I also require at least 3 flavours at hand to alternate all the time.

Thanks @Andre for the advice and thank you @Zeki Hilmi the 12mg that I collected is working like a charm, nice throat hit and I am no longer inclined to want to chain vape, can actually feel the difference!
