May I suggest you keep some stuff in case you have a bad day or something and feel the urge to smoke. I don't feel the urge and I'm coming up on 2 years on Aug 7th I think it is. Just don't let vaping become a hobby like i did. Gets expensive. If you want to try not vaping and not smoking great. Go for it but keep some around just in case and make sure it's all kept working and charged. If you decide to keep doing it and want to try new juices etc. sure we can help you. Just don't let anybody tell you you have to keep vaping.

Some people have a goal of stopping. Occasionally, it does seem like some folks end up stopping almost by accident (as your post might indicate). - If your intention all along was to eventually stop: Good for you! It's nice to see success.

I don't think I've ever had any intention of stopping, and my habit remains relatively stable as far as how much I consume. Every so often, I have a day or two where I'm just too busy to enjoy my habit and I consume very little. It doesn't bother me like when I was smoking. I don't feel stressed when I vape less like I did when I smoked less... I have considered what that might mean. It might mean perhaps it's not too difficult to vape less or even stop... But, again: I've never really had any intention of stopping. I like it.

Congrats! I started vaping to quit smoking. I've always wondered if anyone who has started vaping has ever quit, never hear about this side anywhere.... I know this is probably not going to be understood by many, but my goal has always been to quit inhaling anything. Hope to be there one day, until then, I vape.

FYI even if i get to a Zero nic level i will keep vaping as I love the taste. After a really bad injury eating by mouth is problematic with me so this is a way I can taste stuff.

I've actually recently experienced a pretty long hiatus in vaping. I went about a week or two without even touching my mech and juices and I vape a lot less now than I used to. I just like to think of it like I've kicked my addiction to "smoking" or rather, the act of smoking.

I still vape, but more of just something to do when I'm bored - kind of like an on-demand hookah.

I know eventually I will stop vaping............can't live forever. But I think it is great what vaping has done for you.

Only been vaping 4+ months and have dropped my nicotine to 6mg already. Will be dropping that to 3mg and then zero within the next 3 months and then I will drop vaping altogether.

I started vaping to get off cigarettes. I have done that. I have been cigarette free for 3+ months. I can't stand the smell of cigarettes or the people that smoke them now, I find that funny as I was a PAD+ smoker just 4 months ago.

I see no reason to continue inhaling things into my lungs once I have weaned myself off the addictive substances found in cigarettes and e-liquid, nicotine.

So yes I feel the same way.

I've only been tobacco free for 8 days but my goal with vaping is to quit smoking and then eventually quit vaping. I'm at 24mg right now and anticipate this will be a reasonably lengthy process. I'm getting ready to order an APV and a couple of RBAs (rDNA, Provari, or maybe an EVIC Supreme) which will hopefully be my bridge to the end. As tempting as it is to turn this into a full blown hobby, my goal (for now anyway) is to put it all away eventually.

I have been vaping for almost three years and have no plans on ever giving up vaping. I have read pretty much all of the peer reviewed science and see minimal harm and actually some benefits from the nicotine. I love every aspect of the hobby and I don't need to spend much money if I do not want to. Basically, all kinds of benefits, no realized harm so why stop?

I am very analytical so if peer reviewed research shows more harm as time goes on, I will of course reevaluate my vaping. Until then, I will continue to explore this awesome hobby!

Vaping for more than 4 years, I enjoy it quite a lot, still looking for better wicks, hardware, liquids, I can refrain from vaping much easier than smoking but have no plan on quitting, this thing is just too enjoyable for me to stop

 

[dhock50]

My big goal was to quit cigarettes and I did it 10 months ago! Vaping has become an enjoyable hobby for me now and I see no reason to stop. I probably will lower my nicotine eventually, but no hurry. Life is too short not to enjoy it!

 

[rbrylawski]

I'll likely be in the vape forever camp as long as they don't produce real evidence that Vaping is super harmful. I enjoy it. A lot. And it keeps me from ever thinking about lighting a stinky.

Yep, I stopped 2 weeks ago Sunday. No withdrawal, no urge to vape or smoke.

I was using 2mg for the last several months before I stopped.

I would say... if you're contemplating quitting and don't crave the nicotine then you really don't need to vape. I'd love to get there one day and plan on it.

While I'd miss ECF there's more to life than vaping and always plenty of enjoyable things to do.

If you feel like it then go for it. Not vaping eliminates the small risk we now take by vaping. About six months ago I was headed the same way, but I got interested again and I'm going to continue for a while longer now.

Best of luck with it

You don't have to quit ECF if you quit vaping. It might not be the same and you might lose interest, but there's nothing in the rules about former vapers forfeiting ECF membership

 

[HowlinMadMurphy]

Well if this was your goal, congrats! Sounds like you just have such low levels of nicotine in your body that you aren't craving it anymore. I have been on 6mg for a few weeks now and I feel myself getting towards the same spot. The past few mornings I actually had to think a second about what I was missing with my coffee, great feeling for me. I love vaping but I do not want it to be a lifetime habit, I will always be an advocate for it though.

 

[freeatlast!]

I agree with HowlinMadMurphy & also Ryedan - no need to continue vaping if you don't feel the need to - but you can still come on ECF and tell your story! There are others. There are people who do want to quit "everything" including vaping and knowing that some people have done so without a problem is helpful! I am on 0 mg mostly now, and still enjoying it at slightly less than a year since I started/quit cigarettes. I expect to eventually quit vaping as well, although I am still enjoying it at this moment.
