Welcome to VT, Sarah! Nicotine-wise... I'm getting less and less, than when I smoked, and I'm not letting my juice burn up in an ashtray, nor do I miss the smell or taste of smoking Vaping is also CHEAPER, as well as less-harmful than burning plants and sucking toxins into your body! The nice thing about vaping is that I can go many long hours without a "hit", compared to smoking, which was one after another... For me, now, it's less about cessation (been well over a year since I last smoked an analog), and more about the flavor and the hobby of it. Yes, I still get my nicotine, but probably about 2-3 analog's worth of nicotine daily? I could probably go 0-mg nic, but I don't bother... because nicotine is not the cancer-causing ingredient that gov't wants you to think it is. Caffeine, sugar, nicotine, etc... all in moderation, lol As for what is "normal" for most people... that is subjective... I was a heavy smoker, and 1.8% (18mg/ml) was the key to breaking me away from analogs. For some people, 12mg will do it, for some, 24mg or higher is necessary. Most of us tend to settle somewhere between 6mg and 18mg for our daily vaping... but it also depends on the rig you're using (tank, RTA, RDA, cartomizer, etc), and how often you take a drag... Chain vapers will go lower nicotine levels... those that take a hit every few hours may use much higher Nic levels, but I guess if you look at daily intake, most are in the 6-18mg levels?
I will pile on. I am going to try my hardest not to buy a tank that does not include an RBA. I love the Subtank mini. I have been really tempted to buy an Atlantis 2, but keep talking my self out of it. My current all day vape is a Lemo2. I don't really use the RDAs anymore, but I would still like to have a freakshow mini.
I will say that they are not building many tanks like I want. I tried a Kayfun 4 the other day, and it is a bit restrictive, and most open airflow tanks that are coming out are dual coil. I don't like them as much as the single. The build deck is too small to use the wire I want and stay in the ohm range I like.
