Good intentions, implementation, and results here, but seriously folks, think VERY carefully about what you're doing when you tamper with something someone's putting in their body.
Do not try at home to the nth degree.

This is BS. By the third or fourth bottle shed be like wtf is up with this juice?
(This reduction method helped me quit, but it's not imperceptible like that)
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.
It's also BS because it is 4chan and a lot of their posts are untrue and homosexual.
If they were vaping a whole 30ml bottle @ 50mg/mL per week, yeah probably. That's a pretty extreme dependency. I don't know anyone ingesting that much nic, after 7 years in vape industry / over a decade vaping myself. I'm not in the US though, Juul kinda fucked things up over there
This is literally how I quit, except I did it intentionally.
But this is fake because the jump from 0.001 to 0.000 was like the ground disappearing beneath my feet.
For the previous week I was only using 0 nic juice in a pod that previously held a tiny amount of nic (we're talking trace amounts near the end - I wasn't feeling a thing).
Anyway I thought I was going through withdrawal so hard with the 0 nic in the used pod, but NOPE switch to 0 nic in a fresh pod and it was like "welcome to withdrawal 2."
Still really happy I quit though. It's so great not going into a panick whenever I misplace my vape for like 42 seconds. That was always so fucking humbling.
Finally, some hard evidence for homeopathy
I've also done this to quit vaping. I've quit cold turkey a couple times, but diluting like this was by far easier for me. Still difficult, especially when going to zero nic, but it worked.
50% nic lmao. Fake as hell.
OP probably means 50mg which is standard high concentration nic salts (freebase is most commonly 3mg). People often mistake mg for percentage in vaping.
But they claimed to have used dilution formulas to achieve these percentages. Pretty sure it's BS.
everyone i know calls 50mg "50%"
everyone.
I've vaped since 2013 and have literally never heard of this. Could be regional 💁♂️
probably is. personally never heard anything other than percentages
50mg is also a metric fucton of nic in a vape. My strong mixes are 13mg, and low nic is 4mg.
My wife uses 50mg saltnic, it's crazy. I tried hitting it once and dear god my head was spinning.
Other than being blatantly fake this is really nice.
It is okay to assume something is real when it doesn't hurt anyone. :)
Cause maybe, juuust maybe, this story will help someone else.
And then the gf decides she wants to try a new flavor, buys her "normal" nic strength, and fills her vape up with it before anon has a chance to dilute it.
This would actually work out fine because she'd get he new bottle, hit it as hard as she did with her diluted bottles, then to proceed to throw up. The nausea alone from nicotine overdose should be a decent deterrent.
As someone who "quit" nicotine and picked it up again later multiple times... The first hit after a while felt amazing every time. Unfortunately. No nausea at all.
Anon sounds like a genuinely good partner
Isnt fine tuning tour dosage literally the point of vapes? There are a lot of fluids with different levels of nicotine. Also from 50% you would fucking die. Its probably 50mg.
Wouldn't she just use it more often and ultimately get roughly the same dose?
It's possible, but frequency is determined by more factors than simply relief from nicotine withdrawal. It's also possible that reducing concentration very slightly doesn't change the overall equation enough to actually drive behavioral change. But I'd agree that outcomes are better secured with conscious intent. I think quitting successfully and meaningfully means learning resilience against compulsion to engage in behaviors driven by chemical reactions in the brain, which this approach doesn't do at all.
Diluting 50 times you'd need one hell of an amount of "dilution formula".
It's called water
It's eazy to buy:

10 liters - you will never need to buy again.
For those who literally just got a pic in Russian - this is a 10L (12,5kg) canister of 99,8% pure food-grade glycerol
Автор, не забывай, что по-русски тут почти никто не говорит :D
How long does it takes to vape a bottle?
The story is a bit controlling/manipulative in my opinion. Even if the net outcome is good I'd feel like I was overstepping a boundary if I did this to my partner.
It sounds so freaking fake too.
Tbh, I hope it's real and this woman is free from vape addiction. There's a question here about boundaries but what strikes me the most is that I can't take it seriously. The tone is just so characteristic of these 4chan green texts. No details, no heart. Straight to the point. Short enough to get a bunch of upvotes.
He wrote it like it's a simple story that happened within a week. It just feels manufactured
