Patch experience ?

Just seeking peoples general experiences with patches. I go through about 1.5 5% juul pods a day for reference, so I definitely should start at 21mg.

I imagine I am going to experience some pretty intense withdrawals the first few days on the patch. What was it like for you?

Did you notice benefits of quitting while still on patches? Did you have withdrawal symptoms every time you dropped down a patch strength? Did you follow the program week by week or just kind of wing it based on how you felt?
