May I suggest you keep some stuff in case you have a bad day or something and feel the urge to smoke. ....
That's some good advice there Steve.
I wandered away from vaping for about 2 years, made my return to it a year ago.
I had a variety of stuff that had been put back so when the need to resume vaping arose I was set.

I am cigarette free for a year and a half now and I love vaping. Am still on 18mg tobacco and have no intention to stop eventhough I started a pretty rigorous fitness regime and have changed my whole diet. When I was still smoking a pack of red Marlboro daily I could not have run for more than a couple of meters before catching my breath. Now I run 9 km with a goal of 10 without a problem and that three times a week.

Perhaps one day I might stop vaping but for now I enjoy it too much.

Just like many of us accidentally quit smoking by vaping, it's also possible to accidentally quit vaping with time. The question is not whether we smoke or vape, but what we feel comfortable with for ourselves. How about if the question is to just be comfortable with yourself?

I also agree with keeping vaping supplies handy for a while just in case, there's nothing wrong with that too.

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.

We joined here around the same time I think. You 2 months before me, so congrats!!! I'm down to 3mg and most of time use ZERO, just need to quit carrying soon as well

I have no short term plan to quit. I used to feel like I'd spent a ton on hardware, until I came here...lol
I just have a few spinners and a pass thru and use cheapy tanks. I'm enjoying trying flavors and a little DIY on my own, so my expenses as opposed to smoking, are almost negligible. I really enjoy vaping. I quit cigarettes for 7 years, via Chantix, but started having problems with depression. I like the little nic kick that I get and enjoy the experience of vaping.

I started vaping exclusivly to help me quit smoking. In the last 30+ years of smoking 2-3 packs a day and all those "I'm done smoking" failures. I quit for 1 month tops, and was back on the death sticks. I used to make excuses for myself to start back up when trying to quit. The day I got my Silver Bullet and all the hardware for it, I have not smoked 1 cig. I go back and forth with 36 and 24 nic levels depending on the flavor I'm buying. Some flavors for me taste better at 24 and some at 36 etc. At this very moment I have no plans on quitting vaping. Instead of a habit, it's a hobby I now enjoy. In hindesight I never liked smoking because of all the negative things that come with it. Like coughing all the time, smelling like an ashtray and to be quite honest the price of cig's has skyrocketed to the point I cannot afford them anymore. It's MUCH cheaper for me to vape than to smoke. In fact It only took a few months for the money I spent on my set-up to pay itself off.

I can't say for sure that I will come to the fact of quitting vaping. I'm just here along for the ride knowing I'm at least doing something that's FAR BETTER healthwise than cig's.

When it comes to quitting smoking never say never.

It has happened more than once here: Someone drops off the board because they quit smoking and then quit vaping. Some times for over two years even - only to report back in when a full blown "wanna cigarette" smoking relapse is staring them right in the face.

Smoking is insidious, a lot more than you may realize. Until/unless you can get replacement gear as easily as you can get hold of a pack of butts I would caution against any urge to symbolically dump all your gear. No matter what, always keep in mind you have a better choice this time than returning to smoking.
