Did you start vaping as a stepping stone to quit or a permanent replacement to cigs?

I started vaping to replace analogs. I tried everything. Right before I switched over I was using a low dose patch during the week but would always break down and smoke cigs on the weekend. Anywhere from 1-2 PAD. Then start the process over the following week.

I've been vaping now for about 2 months and now use only 6mg nic, but I pretty much chainvape when and where I can. I started at 18mg and quickly went down to 6. I ordered a bottle of 0mg nic juice, and it just didn't cut it. It totally lost it's appeal.

My next plan of attack is to get the some 6mg and 0mg of the same flavors and mix them down gradually until I'm at 0mg. At that point I don't know if I'll completely stop or not. I'm not really thinking that far ahead, just going with the flow. Maybe I'll be a weekend vaper.

Started Vaping with my fiancee a few weeks ago and haven't had an analog since. Started to quit smoking and stop taking in the other chemicals in the smoke, will keep vaping as long as it is enjoyable and I'm not harming myself further.

For me, it's a permanent replacement. Already had one scare with a pre-cancerous condition on my vocal cords.

I will probably never stop vaping because its the hand to mouth thing for me. I also need the security that my mod is by me. I used to vape like crazy especially in the car but now as long as I know its in the car withe me I dont have to vape

I originally started to quit, but now it seems that I just replaced one habit with another.

When i started out (late 2010) it was more about convenience than anything, i just wanted to be able to smoke indoors and not getting the landlord on my neck about the smell. So i got myself a cig-look-alike, i went a year still smoking regular cigs while outdoors and vape while indoors.
Then we got a smoking-ban at work, which led me to start vaping there aswell, and i upgraded to an EGO-T kit from Totallywicked.

Fastforward to late 2012, i'm down on cash, it's either cigs or food now.. and i got crazy cravings every other hour whenever my puny EGO-batteries were charging.
So, i borrowed some money from my dad, got myself an eVic with a 3400mah battery and a ProTank, i was overwhelmed by the difference in vape quality!
And i havn't had a smoke since, now even the smell of tobacco feels weird to me.

I started vaping about 5 months ago as a transition to quit cigs. For about a month I've now been cig free and my vape pen is my best friend!
