I have a question before I go to bed and will look at answers in the morning. After switching from disposables to a ego-c a week ago I started at 30 mg / ml (Too high I thought/think). I was going through about 3 ml a day. I was smoking 1.25 packs a day.
This evening I received my 12 mg / ml and think I smoked 1.5-2.0 ml in 6 hours. That's a lot more vaping but probably same nicotine. Did I drop too quickly?
My goal is to eventually get to 0 mg nicotine / ml. Ideally maybe do no vaping but for now I'm ok with thought of vaping for a year or more as long as I eventually get down to 0 nicotine / ml. What is the ideal method of achieving this goal. As stated I think I started too high but may have dropped too low and am now countering that with more vaping than I was doing before.
As I see it there are several options:
Option 1 stay with 30mg/ml and decrease vaping. Hard to see this working as decreasing number of cigs was hard enough.
Option 2 decrease nic mg/ml and stay at the same amount of vaping gradually. I think this is doable but need to be constantly conscience of keeping my ml intake at the same level as I decrease my nic mg/ml. It's even harder to keep track of if you start saying to yourself I'll smoke the 30mg in the morning, 15 mg in the afernoon, and 0 mg in the evenining.
Option 3 decrease nic mg/ml and also decrease ml intake per day. Again hard as it was hard to reduce cig count per day for myself.
What have all of you had the most success with? Please name other options if I'm missing an obvious one.
Again Ideally I wouldn't have to vape or have nicotine...but for starters I'm willing to lower nicotine hopefully to zero and then decrease vaporing. I don't want to get into debate of vaporing is healther and you should continue to do it as long as you are off analogs. I really want my ideal goal to be to get off all of it. I do realize it would most likely be healthier to vape with or without nicotine then smoke analogs but I do eventually want to become dependent free of this habit. I also don't want to set the goal line too far away that is unachievable. Baby steps as Bill Muray said in movie I can't remember title of
So what advice do long term users have to get to that eventual goal of 0 nic and 0 vaping? Or has everyone just decided to get to 0 nic and continue vaping? Off to bed but am very very curious as to others goals and how they plan on achieving those goals.
FYI: I'm in about week 2 so analogs are still priority and I have relapsed a few times. Namely last weekend. I went from 1.25 packs to about 0.25 on disposables and am basically at 0 analogs now except for minor relapses.
