When I 1st started vaping I said it was a means to an end and that I wanted to be completely off Nic within 6 months. I am beginning to wonder if that was just a pipe dream and I just changed 1 addiction for another.... What say you?
Anyone plan on quitting?

That was my goal at first. After thinking back, every time I quit smoking I would get bizarre ocular migraines. So now I've decided that I'll slowly step down my nic level and as long as the migraines don't return I'll keep stepping down. If I get to zero or 4mg or whatever and they come back I'm going to go back up to the lowest level that kept the beasts at bay. With any luck it was all a massive coincidence and I can quit...eventually.
Hi Sennie...yeah....I too had planned on quitting by now. I'm still not down to zero. Seem to be stuck at 6mg, but my next batch of DIY will be 4mg. I wish that I didn't enjoy vaping so much. 
Where are you at nic strength wise?

I went in knowing I was changing one addiction for another, but it's not really another. It's the same nicotine addiction/habit but much, much healthier and cleaner than smoking. MUCH! I do think that eventually I will be done with it all, but not yet. If I give myself a time frame, I'll blow that just like a New Year resolution.
no... even if they are banned it just means i will have to pay more for shipping.
HAAAAHAHAHAhahahahaHAHAHAHAHahahaha 
Nope, don't plan on quitting. I just quit smoking and for now that's darned good enough.
If I get a bug one day to cut back the nic, I may try it. If I end up at 0 nic, good for me.

I never really envisioned quitting vaping. It was always just to stop smoking. It has worked miraculously!
That said, I'm down to 2mg nic, which is practically nothing. One day I'll get down to literally nothing.. I'm sure..
But I'm still not thinking about quitting vaping!

Heh I was wondering when I saw the thread title ....."quit what?"
Quit smoking? Already done.... Quit vaping? ....... Nah, no plans to.
It's really the lesser of two evils to me. That is if one of the evils is Hannibal Lectre, and the other is I dunno..... Jaywalking

I told my daughter I would never quit smoking and she said "Well, why don't you just quit tar?"
So I've quit smoke inhalation and that is all I plan to quit.

We are at 11 and 12 mg of Nic but that's exactly where we started. I kind of feel like I failed because I haven't dropped down in Nic level any since I started vaping and I quit smoking almost 3 months ago, I REALLY thought I would have been able to drop down by now... but in all honestly I haven't tried. The thing I guess I keep going back to is this... since I am still inhaling Nic did I REALLY quit smoking or am I lying to myself and others? I feel kinda guilty because it seems like I am being less than honest and I am about as honest as they come. UGH!!
I have no time frame. I'm cutting my nic back 2 mg/ml per DIY mix, but may or may not hit a plateau I have trouble going under. If so, no big deal and I try again later. If not, great.
I'll decide if I want to quit it when I hit 2 or 0 mg.

You know I just started Vaping about 2 1/2 weeks now.. and I got this question today after I told this person I no longer smoke and I told her I didn't. I explained about the ecigs and she said what's the difference? I told her about all the bad 4000 chemicals that I am no longer putting in my lungs but... I asked myself... Did I just changed form one addiction to the other? Well Yeah I did but one that is not as bad as the other. To tell you the truth, I enjoy Vaping so much more than I ever did analogs... Do I plan to quit? no but I never planned to quit smoking either. So take it for whatever it's worth. But right now I fell better taste and smell better can vape practically anywhere, and have stopped smoking after 30 + years. So why argue with semantics? It's a Big step for me and my family. Thank God for small favors...
I do plan to quit nicotine and most likely vaping eventually. We'll see if I actually give up vaping, but nic is absolutely going to be eliminated. I was a pack a day for about 17 years, and I'm currently at 12 mg nic juice. I actually started at this level, maybe I should have started higher but I wanted to lower my nic intake so I was committed to seeing it through. I've seen people who have been able to drop nic levels at about a month at a time, but I'm not sure that that will be the best path for myself as starting at 12mg right out the gate was really a struggle. I haven't set a time table to completely get off nic as of yet, but I'm just starting to adjust to the current level so I'm not going to rush it
The only reason I wanted to quit smoking was because of how bad it is. I (thought I) enjoyed having smokes, and now, I can have that without the guilt. It's still an addiction imo but one that won't kill you or the others around you. Who's to judge when most if not all people are addicted to to something in one form or another. At least we're playing it safe.
I do plan on dropping to as low to 0 nic as I can though, but I doubt I will actually quit it completely Who knows.... Maybe I will drop vaping altogether one day. For now, I'm really enjoying it all.. Couldn't say that for smoking though.

My last analog was on Aprils Fools Day 2011. I stayed at 24mg for a year, for the last almost 10 months I've been at 18mg. In April 2013 I will drop to 12mg, April 2014 to 6 mg. I might quit vaping after that. I'm clearly not in a hurry.
I had to start with 36mg/ml in the beginning and have dropped my nic/ml by a few mg with each 60ml batch I make. I'm down to 12mg/ml now and have experienced no withdrawal symptoms that I'm aware of. I smoked for 25 years+ 2 years of nico-gum. I will reach 0mg and I plan on continuing to vape. I see vaping as nice, relaxing way to spend time with family, friends without the hangover of alchohol (for example) or eventual death from smoking cigarettes. With the thousands of flavors available, there's no way I will quit vaping.
I sometimes catch myself vaping on my 0 nic attys, unaware that I haven't had any nicotine at all during the day. I was pleasantly surprised at the "placebo" effect they provide.
