7 days Vape Free trial = success

[Lightgeoduck]

Well I have been analog free for over a 1/2 year which is GREAT, but now what?

I didn't plan on quiting analogs...I presently am not planning to quite vaping, but with everything going on in the vaping world ,, It got me wondering what if...

I have a big stock pile,but what if I lost all of it..so rather than waiting to find out.. I put my self through a test... I wanted to see if I can go with out vaping for an entire week. Guess what? I amazingly did!!!

I still can't believe it, but I was 100% dependent free for 7 straight dayz.
I just recently had a vape session to try out some new juice I purchased... and most likely will only dedicate a certain time of the day to vape from now on...

The ONLY thing I can see that caused me to be able to do it is... my multitude of mods and switching what mod I use...I think that caused me to loose my "muscle memory" (my coworker called it ) meaning that even though there are similarities to vaping and smoking... the different configurations of my PVs switched up the normal routine... i.e. button placement, not "forced" to go through an X amount of hits to "finish"... by just taking hits when needed eliminated a good amount of unneeded puffs.


Well anyway... I am not sure when I will do this again or if the next time I will shoot for 2weeks, but it is comforting to know I can last TONS longer than back when I was smoking.....


Has anyone tried/ or willing to try how long you can hold out?


I will update this thread... if/when I try to hold out again...

Interesting to say the least......I stopped vapeing for almost 3 hours the other day....And not by choice may i add.....And Honestly speaking i do understand what you're saying....It's not like analogs at all....I didn't have that nicotine withdraw like i did with the analogs....I might give it a try for a few days sometime down the road....Maybe when I'm more Confident in my self, would be a better statement....

I would be very happy to join u, but I'm an addict in a very large sense of the word.

If I was your mum I would be very proud that u r trying to shake the most addictive substance known to all. Not including caffeine.

"Good Luck my Child," as the nuns would say.

I wish you well, and generous amounts of happiness to end this addiction. GL baby boy!

Wow, that's awesome Duck Way to go. I don't know if I could do it. A lot of it for me is the hand to mouth. Do I like the nic? Yep. Do I like the vapor? Yep. Do I like the flavors? WTF kinda question is that??? I LOOOOOOOOVE the flavors and I think that is what would do me in, in a big way, lol. I my give this a try at some point cause that really is awesome!

I have stopped for 3 days, no cravings for vaping and definately not for smoking. It will give you some sort of new vision of vaping world - now i enjoy vaping much more and vaping much less!

I just did it!!!!! Held out just long enough to type this

Seriously though, about 3 months after I started vaping, I noticed I wasn't in the same hurry in the morning to get that cup of joe and a vape. I was able to actually sit down and have a few sips, read a few ECF posts, take my time setting up my vape of choice for the day and then.....take that first puff.

I like the muscle memory term....I think it has merit.

Yeah I thought the term was a good way to explain it..

by the way nice for you to jump in my friend... I have to be honest I miss your borg stick avatar ...

Wow...very kind of you to remember and post about that. I figured now that I'm not really new but forever nubee here, avatar was a good place to tweak a bit.

And like the Ants say: Try another flavor.....

I did a similar trial about a week ago.

I was getting ready to leave the house and decided not to bother taking anything with me. That was a long 10 minute trip to the Post Office and back but I made it

Congrats on both the (over)6 months and the week test

Yes, Thy - VERY similiar

 

[Skyler]

Maybe I should give this a try. I'm a vaping maniac and need to slow down a bit.

I didn't vape at all for 6 or 7 hrs. but I was asleep. Way to go. It's nice when you set a goal and then achieve it. Congrats. I figure if they ban them, well they can't ban batteries and switches and I can always find nicotine. All a ban is going to do is make it more hazerdous for those that do. I don't think you'll have any problems if you can make it that long. Kudos Duck

 

[cliff5550]

Aw duck, you've inspired me. I've been toying with the notion of trying a total nicotine shutdown for a while and now your success at a week has me thinking even stronger about it. If a ban comes I will never go back to analogs.
Alas, I read your post this morning and just yesterday I finally ordered my Ego. I'm afraid my attempt at quitting has been delayed. But only for a time.

 

[Katmar]

Duck,
That is awesome. Especially coming from YOU!!! I love the possibility of giving up vaping at some point. To be completely free of the total addiction.
Please keep us posted. 7 days without is incredible.

 

[Lightgeoduck]

well my goal after the 7 day test is doing well so far... I am only vaping in the last part of the evening... for a short session... NONE during the day....

I still enjoy vaping and not even thinking about a total quit (for now) but I am thinking of a time for that 2 week-er some time in the near future.....

 

[whimzkool]

Well done LGD! Hope to join you... someday.

Duck, I am curious..what is your nic level. Did you cut back before you quit for a week?

I went to the mall with my daughter and spent the whole day there. It wasn't until we were leaving the mall did I realize I had left my e-cigs in the car. I didn't miss not vaping and didn't have one single thought about them all day! However I did vape on the way home.

The hand to mouth may be a bit hard to break..but the nic no longer has a hold on me.
