How long have you been vaping?

[Nev]

My idea was to start vaping, quit smoking then lower the nic levels. My plan has gone awry. Even though I was a 1+ PAD smoker, for some reason any juice over 12mg makes me gag and cough and hurts my throat (even in pure VG).

So now I have a new plan. I am going to suck on my e cig and quit the analogs when they are gone. At this rate that will be 4 months LOL They'll be stale by then.

Actually, I am finding the 11-12 mg good for me. I am only smoking around 3 analogs a day after 5 days of vaping. And I only smoke 1/2 of those analogs pretty much. Not a concious decision, just the way it's working for me.

I think on April fools day I will plan to give up the analogs all together and see how that goes. If it happens earlier, even better!

I have been vapping away for 3 weeks today. Love it...

Three weeks here too as well, its crazy how many choices and flavors are out there. I find myself with about 15 carts of various juices all ready to go.

About a month. Moved down from 24mg to 18mg, prty happy where i'm at currently, but might move down to 12mg in the future.

7 days. Wasn't planning on quitting analogs, but after vaping all day on day 2, the analog I smoked that night tasted disgusting and made me dizzy. So I figured, what's in these things that made that happen when I've been inhaling nicotine comfortably all day? Really grossed me out, and I haven't wanted to light up since.
I think I might be able to switch to 0 nicotine eventually, and if I do, I may never quit vaping. I'm just a "gotta have something to do with my hands" type person.

I have been vaping for a week now and have alread moved down to 11mg juice. I hope to move down to 6mg juice within the next week or so and then be done with vaping.

I am just wondering do people quit smoking cigarettes and THEN quit vaping or do you keep vaping for years?

I don't want to set myself up for replacing my smoking habit with a vaping habit. I want to step down and quit all nicotine.

Any thoughts?

When I first started vaping I only did it for about 4 months. I picked it up when I felt I needed a fix and I put it down when I felt satisfied. Eventually I just stopped picking it up. I vaped 14mg the entire time, no stepping down required. Just thought I'd share, it might be cheaper and you won't have multiple bottles of juices left over doing it that way. But do whatever works for you, don't push yourself too hard to quit and it won't feel so much like a chore and more like an accomplishment (IMO).

When I received my first PV I hadn't even considered switching. I mean, at that point the thought of quitting cigarettes was just a bit scary to me, and it was NOT on my radar. I bought it as an interesting gadget, nothing more. That first PV was in my hands on 1/15/2010. Without the intention of doing so, I dropped cigarettes. I found that these devices would be able to replace smoking, for me.

I don't know if I'll quit vaping. I attach zero importance to doing so. I don't plan to quit drinking coffee either. I enjoy both.

For me it's been 1 year 1 month and 19 days since my last analog and have absolutely no intentions of walking away. But one never knows, because I never intended to quit smoking. Besides I'm having way too much fun with it.
