Got Myself To Zero!

[siffy]

Last time I checked in I was considering purchasing an eRoll and something just clicked in my head.

I had been reducing the nic mg by 1ml every Monday and had got myself calmly down from 18mg to 12mg. Last Friday I just thought..sod it, just jump!

I went to zero and am totally doing fine. All I notice is a little more hungry than normal and feel a bit tired around 8:30pm.

The ironic thing, for me, was my total fear was I would be hooked to nicotine forever. I have personally found nicotine to be a sheep in wolf's clothing, that once it's army of chemicals are removed it's a little bit like the Wizzard Of Oz big reveal....not a lot there.

I am no way saying that is everyones experience as I was sadly one of the ones that went through a hellish chemical detox, so that is maybe why I am finding the no nicotine a breeze?

I plan to vape zero for the next month then put it away but it will always be around filled with zero nicotine if I get an urge.

I hope nobody minds me posting this but I am just so made up and wanted to share.

Just in case any newbies are going through chemical detox, might help?

It's not a virus and you're not going mad...lol

Well done siffy

I personally like the feeling that i get from nicotine, so will vape it as long as is possible.

It is my only vice these days along with the naughty sandwich I have on a Friday :-)

But good on you.

I don't blame you, like you say you enjoy the felling. For me I suspected the nicotine was just giving me that much loved TH, so, tried zero menthol and was right...all wasabout the TH..lol

It's Friday...enjoy your sandwich.

Well done siffy.

When I gave up smoking last time it was the hand to mouth action I missed more than anything, nicotine withdrawal is all in the mind, abit like changing to decaf. There are no known side effects with giving up nicotine, there are with giving up stinkies because of all the other rubbish in them.

I have gone from 36mg 11 months ago down to 16mg during the day and 10mg in the evening and find that too strong sometimes. However as I have so much nic base I wont be quitting the nic just yet, but will be cutting it down over a period of time.

Good on you siffy.....that's my goal in the next few months, down to 6mg at the moment.....................I have a freezer half full of vpg nic panic buy last year

Well done siffy! That's kinda how it was for me too, except I wasn't really trying in such an ordered way! Each time I mixed more juice I cut down the nic a bit, but, when I make a new concoction I tend to make it nic free until i know if I like it as I am too tight to waste my nic! I often suddenly realise that I have only been vaping my testers for a few days and therefore haven't had any nicotine. The problem is, once I realise I think I must 'need' some nic so I change back to a nic containing juice! Ridiculous really as the amount of nic I put in my mixes is almost homeopathic now

I have no doubt at all that you will find It easy to do.

The only reason I jumped to zero was I wanted it over with tbh, the slight dread. Like you I believe nicotine away from the chemicals is nothing to worry about, I read enough on the subject my eyes nearly bled....lol

I still had that slight niggle of worry so rather than it build in my mind for the next 12 weeks I just jumped. I too will miss the hand to mouth, might even use a straw if I need to. Just so pleased to have broke the link with the TH side of things. That was no were as near as difficult as I'd built it up to be.

Good luck (you won't need it) to anyone else going down the zero nicotine route, for whatever reason you want to get to zero. The worst really is over (in your 1st 3 month of switching) and it's no nearly as scarey as you think.

I have also been cutting down started at 18mg now down to 8mg, next mix will be 6mg. hopefully by june I will be nic free.

I have too much nic base to just stop siffy. Now I know how long it lasts I should have stuck to buying just the one litre and not two.
