trying to quit nicotine vs. just trying to quit analogs?

[WerkIt]

I'm curious about how many of you have the goal of quitting nicotine altogether by using ecigs vs. just trying to get off analogs and keep right on with the nicotine?

I have no plans of quitting nicotine and probably never will. I first quit analogs with e-cigs, but then switched to snus. My ideal buzz is a caffeine/nicotine/exercise buzz. That's exactly why I had to quit analogs (exercise effects), although this all really began as a tax protest.

I am actually sensitive to nicotine, so was mixing 4 mg nic solutions when I first started vaping. Even now with snus, I only use mini-portions, which also contain 4 mg of nicotine and I only use 4 mini portions per day.

I could care less if others smoke analogs around me, but only because my fix is already WELL taken care of.

I just ordered my 501, should be here tuesday or wednesday. My goal is to quit nicotine completely, but ill just start with analogs. researching all this stuff has me really pumped on quitting, i think starting tomorrow im going to start chewing the nicorette and give myself a head start. hopefully the gum thing lasts longer than the 2 days that it lasted last time lol.

I went into this with the intention of eventually quitting both analogs and nicotine in time. However, I'm not going to rush myself. I'm a little over a week without analogs, and doing pretty good. I usually vape at 11mg. I've had a couple of tense moments, but have been able to calm those by upping my nic from 11mg to 18mg for a short time.

When I first stopped using analogs, I was vaping like mad. However, the last couple of days, I've been vaping less often. My "tense moments" (need for an analog) have diminished as well.

I plan on ordering some zero-nic of my favorite e-juice, just to try from time to time. Hopefully, I'll be able to switch to zero-nic completely... at some point. But, as I said earlier... No rush.

I cut analogs just 1 week 2 days ago. I smoked 1.5 packs a day and I have found that 6mg liquid vaping once every hour for about 5 to 10 min is more than enough for me. 2 days ago I switched to using an 11 mg cart in the morning. topping off throughout the day with a 2.2 MG home brew. and it is working just fine. I am not sure how much nicotine that adds up to, but I am going to try switching completely over to the 2.2 brew next week, ill keep you posted.

My goal is to get off the nicotine, but probably keep vaping, since I enjoy it and it doesn't seem to negatively effect me. my flem is already gone, I can feel my breath deepen and I hadnt realised just how tight my chest was prior to breaking the anolog habbit. this is just barely one week, I cant wait to reevaluate after 1 month.

I'm calling shenanigans on this stuff even getting a measurable amount of nic in our systems. I vape heavily on my SD, straight 36mg.

Everyone has slightly different chemistry, so it's possible you're not feeling the effect in the same way as others. That said, it's flat out obvious that nicotine is entering the bloodstream of the majority of vaporizer users. Otherwise we'd have a board filled with people on a massive withdrawal jag rather than a board filled with people who made a virtually seamless switch from traditional cigarettes to PVs.

In my case, i wanted to quit the "analogues" the roll your own cigarettes that i have been hooked on for many years. The reason was bad circulation problems. I know that nicotine can create circulation problems, but it is the carbon monoxide and other chemicals that makes the whole thing really bad. I have tried nearly everything.

I baught a PV and stopped the analogue habit straight away. i know that the only way to stay analog clean is to not have the first one. So i wont with luck .

Now on day 17.

i will deal with giving up nicotine in due course and that certainly isnt a current here and now issue.

So long as i dont get obsessive about buying more and more PV gear then I will be saving £50 per month at least on my roll your own habbit.

I have a kid on the way, due in September, so realistically, I need to be vaping 0Nic by then. I just ordered some 12mg(Med) DIY amaretto e-juice and I'm very excited to make my first step towards 0Nic. I'm used to smoking 18mg.

Wish me luck?

I'm curious about how many of you have the goal of quitting nicotine altogether by using ecigs vs. just trying to get off analogs and keep right on with the nicotine?! In other words, are you trying to quit everything, or just the tobacco? I view ecigs as nicotine replacement, not as a "quit smoking" product. Thanks.

Mainly just wanted to stop analogs. I wake up now without coughing, I can smell better, things taste better, and I still get the nicotine I like, not sure where I'll go, too early to tell.

There are lots of people who've posted about using ZeroNic some or all of the time. It is do-able!!
