3mg too low ??? excessive use vs 6mg

[r4nd0m]

hi all,

well I ordered loads of 3ml juice to decrease my nicotine level even further - however for some reason I think this must hit an unsatisfying threshold - why?

well usually depending on what I was using - excluding high usage tanks like the TFV4 I used roughly 4-8ml per day - dropping this to 3mg now I could easily kill 30+ml per day - I almost killed a 30ml bottle when I started to notice this ... so I quickly had a few rda's with 6mg juice and I think after 2 rda's I had my usual "break" of up to an hour of not thinking of wanting to vape ...

so the question - could it be that 3mg just doesn't satisfy the nicotine monster?

whats your thoughts/experience on this?

cheers

I find same ....Even subtanks with 3mg im going through 20ml juice per day .Thinking of going back to my kayfun 12mg nic only went through 8/10ml per day

This raises an interesting point (again) do people lower their nic levels because they are Vaping so much more or or so they CAN vape more?
I still vape 12mg in tanks and don't see me changing anytime soon.
I still often vape 12 in a dripper too, I just don't need to vape constantly, which suits me.
I like to vape as I smoked and just as and when I need it.

Same here. Dropping to 3 mg just made me go through more juice. I still use 3 in my drippers. 6 mg in my tanks. Seems a good balance for me.

Yep same here. I can chug 3mg all day long. I dropped to 2-3mg when I started making DIY juice so cost doesn't really come into it.

One thing I did notice though, going back up to 6mg can be pretty rough on the throat!

If your goal is to give up or decrease then what you need is a little will power. Dropping the nic is always going to lead initially to you using your devices more, but if you stay strong and keep with it, there's a good chance given some time you will fall back into you usual vaping habits just on a lower nic strength.

When I first cut to 3mg for the first few weeks I was going through nearly double the amount of juice and almost two battery's a day. After a little while I just settled back in to my usually routine, thought about going back to 6mg a few times but held my ground and made the switch. I now find 3mg just as satisfying as when I was on 12mg or 6mg.

To put things into perspective, I built a device for a friend yesterday, put in some of his 6mg for him to vape. Had a few pulls to make sure all was well and the nic gave me a massive head rush. If your goal is to cut down just give it some time and stick with it.

I dropped down to 3mg to have a smooth vape and when I made my first mix I went nic free. purely psychological I could tell something was missing so I have gone back up to 6 just ti get some sort of hit.

to be honest it's not about the nicotine at all, I have no cravings for it, I just mentally want to know there is nic in the juice so it seems more satisfying lol

The great difference between smoking & vaping is after a few puffs I can put the vape down, instead of having to smoke a whole cig.
I fluctuate between 3-6, need the 6 in the morning with my coffee after that I just go by flavour and mood, not so much nic.
All my favorite liquids are 3, as this is just as therapeutic as the nic itself.
If you mix your own you could try a 4 or 5.
I can't touch a 12 now, which is a good thing

thanks for all the comments here is my observation since starting this thread - I got some 3mg juice of my favourite juice and started vaping it around 10am ... at around 2pm 15ml vanished out of the bottle - I always had an unsatisfying feeling as I would need more ... so I again said lets switch back to 6mg and I probably used another 3ml max for the rest of the day without the constant need to have a drag - its odd ... so I am back on 6mg and I think its the right level for me or at least for the moment to not over-consume juice all the time ... lets see how this goes ...
