I started vaping in 2013 and back then started with an Ego and a clearo with 24mg of nic. It took me a year to move down from 24mg to 6mg. Early 2014 got into the diy Liquids and although I bought Nicotine, it is still sitting on the shelf unopened! I just managed to use most of the 0mg liquid through out the day and just kept one tank with liquid that had nic handy if required and also kept reducing the levels in it during refills, which then only took about a couple of months to get off it completely. I have to admit the evolution of HW also helped as the RDAs were what made my transition a lot easier and quicker. Its been 2 years nic free and honestly some days goes by when I'm busy with work without even touching my mod the whole day and sometimes even days. I now do it just to experiment new flavors, and new coil setups and more importantly to fight boredom or maintain my patience, lol. Sub ohm tanks have changed the experience and made it even easier IMHO but i see myself sticking to vaping now to enjoy the clouds and flavors. Can't see myself getting on the Nic ever again.
