I don't think I could... I had SUCH a strong addiction to smoking that if I quit vaping- I'd probably go right back.. (Heck, I'm shocked I even took to vaping!) If vaping was around 10-15 years ago it MIGHT be a possibility, but I'm just not seeing it now. I just wanna live for the moment right now knowing that vaping will help me live a little longer!

I definetely started vaping to quit smoking for absolute sure! It was my whole motivation and was the best thing I've ever done for my long term health!!! I quit analogs completely within 30 days of getting my first PV.

I've worked down to Zero Nic and now just enjoy vaping for the the enjoyment. It's been really nice to have no cravings..REALLY nice. I can vape like a madman all day and if something prevents me from vaping for a few hours (concert or whatever) I'm not Jonesing or dying for a vape. The move from cigarrettes to vaping was liberating. The move to Zero Nic was just as much more!

I suppose I'll keep vaping till I'm tired of it. That may be never or it may come sometime in the future. But the great thing is that I'm not physically addicted to it anymore and I LOVE that! For now I enjoy it too much to even think about giving it up.

Sometimes I vape a little 18mg, but for the most part I'm using 11mg now (down from 24mg) and I even use a 5.5mg intermittently through the day. It just feels like my nic tolerance has been declining, so I'm going with it and hope to get to zero.

I very much enjoy vaping and I do like nicotine, but I'd like to be free of the addiction aspect. I honestly don't think there's much of that left, though (feels more like a therapeutic habit now than an addiction), but it's hard to say for sure. So if/when I do get to zero, I intend to keep vaping for as long as I'm enjoying it. And it would be very nice to be able to still vape nicotine once in a while, without feeling like I have to. With e-cigs, I really think that may be possible.

Just wondering if anyone looks at vaping as a stepping stone to eventually quit completely? I am amazed, well, shocked actually, that I have been analog free for over a month now. But I rely heavily on my 510. I go out for smoke breaks with co-workers, vape while driving etc. Someone at work asked me if I was going to eventually quit vaping, and I told him I didn't know and was taking it one step at a time. I suppose I am feeling a bit guilty for substituting one habit for another (albeit a much healthier one).

Any thoughts?

Without really thinking about it, I'd say no, I'll never stop, and if I'm forced to (a ban or the like), I'll go right back to analogs. However, when I sat and thought about it, I don't know if I could go back to analogs so easily. Yeah, I love "smoking", but analogs disgust me so bad now that I'm not sure I could do it again.
