    I tapered off vaping using the same method, and there is a clear difference in the feeling of a pull when you cut the nicotine down. Also, you can’t just “cut” the nicotine, you’d have to find some way to enhance the flavor of the diluted mix otherwise it will just get more bland. All of that being said, this is a valid strategy for kicking it. Just buy lower nicotine content bottles until you get down to 0% nic, and if your your experience is like mine, you just wake up one day and don’t reach for the vape on the nightstand.

      As far as it being bland, that’s why you get the same flavor juice with 0 nicotine and cut it with that. It does reduce the “throat hit” (that feeling you’re talking about), but you still get the full flavor.

      Mixed my own until I quit. You have to be vaping the exact same shit constantly to have the taste so dialled in. If it’s this slow a taper you’re never going to be notice from one week to the other. And while I didn’t use a ton, shortfills seemed fine to use with or without nicotine added. Just add less or replace with unflavoured liquid.

      If you mixed 50/50 VG/PG with the juice 1% at a time over months, the difference would be imperceptible. If a person vapes only one flavor, olfactory fatigue is going to take the flavor away way more than even a 50% cut.

      That all goes out the window if someone vapes different flavors, though.
