Stop smoking in 2011m started using vap . Although vaping may not be as bad as cigarettes is but it can't be much better..Anyways after seven weeks vap free the craving is just as bad as day one. I don't want to use any other device (patch, gum or pills) this vaping thing may end up much harder to stop than cigarettes

After cleaning my windshield in my cars over and over got me to thinking all this oily stuff that's on the inside of glass.. how much is in my lungs. So that is the main reason for laying down the ecigs and strange skin rashes that would flair up time to time. The rashes have since cleared..didn't matter PG or VG juice
I quit cold turkey and relapsed after 10 years. As long as I'm vaping that won't happen again. In the mean time I enjoy vaping, it's free, don't see any health reason to stop, and not sure how hard that would be.
Congrats I guess. 
Hope you go back to vaping rather than smoking, if you have the irresistible urge to go back to either.

Do you figure that? I guess we will see.
In any case, you did make a few inflammatory statements like "It can't be much better." So far (admittedly projective figures) would say it is 96% BETTER than smoking, which is a LOT better.
The oily residue on things does not "build up" in your lungs, to the best of my knowledge..
Your rash could be based on a LOT of things, including flavorings, heck EVEN the type of coil material you use, some folks don't do well with certain metals. You may need more research or even an allergist to work with you to deal with the rash.
If you are craving vaping may I respectfully suggest snus? It is considered harm reduction and I can go up to 12 hours without vaping OR thinking about it at work,
You can import much fancy stuff from Sweden (they were the ones that developed it,) However, you can also buy a tin of Swedish snus at many gas stations for like 4 bucks. It is confusingly labeled American General Snus, but it is Swedish, and the taste may be intense at first but give it a try, it may help with the vape cravings, and that's worth SOMETHING.

What
Congrats I guess.
To each his/her own..You can vape not vape..makes no difference to me. That I'm 100% sure of not 96%. Thanks for the info on snus but gonna try and make it without any aid. I don't know for sure if the oily residue stays on your lungs or not..I figure why take a chance
Well its been a while longer still no smokes or vap, urges have let up some. I think going back to my walking in the evenings has really help. Anyways for the first time in 40 years I feel like I can say I'm nicotine free. I'm not telling anyone what they should do or not do far as vaping goes, vaping did help me to get off cigarettes.
Urges pretty much gone now, threw out all my vaping stuff. Will always be grateful to vaping for getting me off cigs years ago. Just trying to live a bit healthier
I'll say congrats!! Quitting smoking is an accomplishment in itself, quitting vaping is no small feat either! I admit I never plan to quit vaping, but there was a time I said that about smoking.
Good job -- you've done it!
Though Anna is 100% correct. There is no harm equivalence between smoking and vaping. This position is advanced by a few vocal ideologues who lack concern for public health, scruples, and basis in scientific fact.
