Thank you everyone for all the support!!!!

A little background since everyone keeps commenting on my post:

I did not drop down to 0 Nicotine because I was trying to quit vaping...I believe I will always vape. My body no longer needed the nicotine. Did not crave the nicotine just craved the action of smoking. I also never threw out any of the my equipment or old ejuices. Still have a least 40 bottles sitting around ranging from 24mg to 0mg. Stuff happened and it probably did not help that my fiance still smokes around me.

I am very interested in dripping can any one tell me what kind of set up I will need for it. Nothing too expensive please. Only want to use it to test juices. So tired of filling up my Nova to find out I do not like the flavor. Thanks in Advance!

Just look for RDAs on fastech.com... so many choices to choose from. one thing about RDAs is replacing the coils and wicks. You can wrap your own coils if your the hands on type or you do have the option to just buy some pre-fabricated coils with wicks. Then it is just down to what coil ohms you prefer/have the equipment to utilize. (2.0 is a more common medium)

Wish you tons of luck with this and I'll use your experience as a support thought to make me not start again. I'm new to vaping. Yesterday was really my quit day (had one analog in the morning and haven't had one since) and I'm still struggling, just not as much as 6 days ago when I started vaping and cutting out the analogs. I'm optimistic but realistic. Won't be in a hurry to cut out the nicotine.

Getting a dripper (RDA) is a great idea. They're not expensive; there are hundreds on FT, most under $10. Read up the reviews and the discussions, so you don't get a cruddy one. https://www.fasttech.com/search?dripping atomizers The drawback is FT can take up to a month delivering the stuff. Other, faster options are 101vape, the US Warehouse for Focalecig.

Drippers and rebuildables are cool in that they get you involved with vaping in a personal way, give you control of your vape (you determine your resistance, etc.) You'll also need an ohm meter, or a digital multimeter, kanthal wire, 28 or 30 gauge for starters, a bag of organic cotton balls, and some small-gauge screwdrivers, or drill bits, something, to wrap the kanthal around. I use crochet hooks and knitting needles lol.

The dripper will also need a battery that's more effective than a simple ego. Innokin MVP, Eleaf Isticks. are good, and sell for under $40.. There are box mods that can give you a sub-ohm vape if you want, etc.

Anyhow, these things are fun, and could make your going back to vaping a little different than your first time, and maybe make it easier. The one problem with drippers is that they give you a more dramatic hit than anything else, and they also give you a tastier hit. If your juice is very old, they'll make the less than ideal qualities of the juice really, really obvious, too.

GOOD luck, whichever way you choose to take this!

Good luck, When I quit the first time I just let my body tell me what it wanted and within 3 days it did not want the analogs anymore. I remember in the beginning I was chain vaping, but it worked did not want to have a analog. Hopefully my body will remember all this and my brain will follow, having some trouble not wanting an analog this time around.
