The lower the better or not so much?

I'm in IT, at my previous company I was free to vape in my office and go outside at anytime, but here its a lot more strict and crappy, where you only get certain time to go out to vape and no vaping at my desk and if you miss the time slot, you have to wait for the next 1 :(
 
I personally thought the same thing. However the short answer from experience is my nicotine level has dropped period from 18mg to 6mg. I'm chasing flavour and texture now instead of a nicotine hit.

The long answer:
I vaped 18mg exclusively from my fakes chines Ego, Twisp, and MVP with Aerotank variation and Nautilus. I still have the MVP and Aerotanks with 1.5ohm coils. I tried to lower to 12mg a couple of times in the first 8 months but it didn't satisfy a craving so usually gave it away.

Then I got my Sigelei 100w plus with Subtank and the KUI with Marquis. Both running 0.5ohm duals. I also ordered 2 of my favourite juices in 12mg to use in it with the expectation of needed less nicotine. Trying out 12mg juices from friends on those setups was way too harsh amd I had to immediately get 6mg. And that's were it stuck. I haven't touched my new 12mg juices but bought alot of 6mg 50PG/50VG juices since which is the same ratio I always vaped. I have dabbled in my high VG when I first got the setups but still want the flavour and hit.

The big part is I still have my Aerotanks and tons of coils and about 6 bottles of 18mg. I am struggling to vape it right now. 18mg seems just too harsh at a low 10w on the older equipment so my body doesn't want such high nicotine anymore.

On contrast, I'm plotting to go 3mg about 2 months after being on the Subohm equipment and actually feel like I could go 0mg nicotine as I now chase the flavour and vape to get a nice taste and a nice soth smooth vape feel than for a craving or hit.

Thanks for the interesting responses.

One thing I do find interesting is that RDAs are more efficient at delivering nicotine than tank systems. This is clearly the case if @baksteen8168 has actually managed to reduce his juice consumption.
This has to be the case as I can't take much more than 6mg in an RDA even with the power right down... Cough my lungs out

Weird thing is that I am almost exclusively on RTA's (granted, they are mostly dual coil and low ohm). Only use the Big Dripper for dripping. I might be in the minority, but I am very happy that I am able to tone down. On the whole, Vaping has truly changed into a healthier and cheaper alternative for me. (untill the next big tank / joose comes out... :rolleyes:)

Vaped - not smoked :swear::-D
 
I moved from 24-18 to 12 and have sort of bottomed out there although have used 9 and 6 with no real difference. To me it appears that 12mg seems more readily available than the lower nic level juices?

LoL, in a way its actually helping save some juice, previously my office was like walking into a steam room, so I went through a bit more juice at times when I got bored at my desk, and now I just vape non stop for 15 minutes when I'm allowed to go and play outside...lol :)

Not so much anymore, 6mg has become more popular. Some USA companies dont even make 12mg, only 0, 3, 6 & 9mg
 
I don't want to chain-vape, so I choose to use a higher nic instead.

Having said that, I normally mix my liquids to about 6-9mg. @ [FA]plus-circle[/FA]45w

I still think it's mind over matter.

I do believe the crave for nic when vaping is much, much less than all the crap that called on us to light another cig.

I've chained-vaped 18mg and 12mg. Now on mostly 6mg, I don't actually need to keep any level up. I don't really get those moments when I "need a vape", like when I needed a smoke.
 
personally i dont mind about the nic level . for me is always been the actual act of inhale etc. i can use any level with no prob. thats why i keep buyng juices a lower level because less stuff is in there i suppose less problems can may happen. i can vape 0mg and enjoy, i can vaoe 18 mg and enjoy. I always been one of those fortunate smoker that could start and stop with no problems at all
 
From the start my goal has been to lower my nic content in my juices.

At this very moment I have my Goblin on my Sigeili vaping 3mg liquid at 42W.
That equates to 3.8V.
So in theory I am still meeting at the same level of what a mech mod would put out with a fresh battery.

Sure, from time to time I like to have a warmer vape and go as high as 65W.
But thats only every so often.
 
I agree with most of the responses posted. And as some already said, every vaper's experience, goals and preferences are different. For the past year plus I only moved down in nic concentration when it starts to irritate my throat. 2 months into vaping the coil resistance I used, and still use, stabilized at around 0.7 Ohm (round 25W). Started out on 36mg and within 4 months moved down to 12mg in steps, and for the past 4 months between 9 and 6mg. What I did notice over this time period is that just before I move down in nic concentration I would vape less (<9ml / day), and then with the now lower nic concentration, I would give it horns for the first week or two (about 12ml / day) and eventually stabilize again at 9ml / day.
 
I have noticed another trend while reading this thread....vapers do a l lot of "chasing" :p

Personally I sit back, push the fire button, and make the clouds and flavour come to me - I'm lazy that way :rofl:
 
For me mentally it feels better with the lower nic content and i get used to a lower nic level so quick. So my view on it is why not move to a lower nic level. I still see nicotine as the "addictive" part of vaping same as it used to be with smoking. And i dont like the fact that i am still dependent (addicted) on a substance that is compleetly unnecessary.

Another thing i am wondering about is. Yes higher wattage devices use allot more juice but does that also mean that the nicotine level in your body is so much higher? For example if you vape 1ml in a evod at 20 puffs and 1 ml used in a RDA at 80 watts and 3 puffs does that mean your body absorbs the same amount of nicotine?
