I wrote Nay Nay a while ago and got her permission to use her information, in case she wasn't around.
She is a real success story and very kind to let us use her experience. Thank you Nay Nay.
NayNay I began the e-cig using I think 18mg of nicotine. I was at that level for probably 1-1/2 months. Then I dropped to 12 mg for another 1-1/2 months. Then I went to 6 mg where I stayed for a few months. When I stepped down to no nicotine from 6 mg, I did not go through any withdrawal at all. As a matter of fact, I did not notice the change between 6 mg and none. The only difference I did notice was that the e-juice did not have that "peppery" throat hit with no nicotine. Also, some of the flavors did not taste the same and I know longer liked them without the nicotine. Also, I do still get craves here and there, but never felt like I was "just going to die without one cigarette" while using an e-cig. I think it was a much gentler approach for me.
