Short answer, for me, is no. I like it.
That doesn't mean my thoughts on it won't change over the years of course.

I have no plans to quit vaping either. I really enjoy the activity and, at my current nic level of 6mg, I feel no need to go lower at 3 seems not to give me that 'kick' I enjoy.
I have no desire to stop vaping, and every intention to never light a smoke again.
Absolutely no plans to quit unless the .gov gets rid of it. I loved smoking pipes and cigars, it was pleasurable, sociable, relaxing, meditative even, a great hobby to meet new and interesting people that I otherwise wouldn't etc. etc. Vaping is most of that and more, I have no desire whatsoever to quite.
I've maybe smoked three cigarettes in my entire life, if that many lol.

No. Never. i will vape plain vg out of a kids fog toy if I have to. They will never take me alive! Love vaping.
I'm taking it one step at a time. My original goal was to replace smoking cigarettes with e-cigs. I had cut down my smoking significantly over the years and felt I was down to the cigs I just couldn't stop smoking because I didn't want to enough. Figured I'd make the switch and when I was successful with that I'd see what the situation was. Well, the switch to e-cigs was immediate, probably because I wasn't a heavy smoker by that time. But I love, love, love vaping. So I decided I wanted to cut down on nicotine if I was going to vape that much. I went from 6mg to 3mg without a hitch. I now have a bunch of 0 mg on order. I'm not sure how that will work, but my goal now is all 0. I have some 6 left and a bunch of 3, so I should be able to finesse the concentration if 0 doesn't work right off. After that we will see. Once I clear the 0 hurdle I won't be able to use "nicotine addiction" as an excuse for vaping all the time. My hope is to get it to the point where I can vape as a pleasurable relaxation - kinda like people use cigars or a glass of wine. don't know if I'll get there, because I LIKE TO VAPE, but at least I can get rid of the nicotine.
For years I have relaxed with a cigar and an adult beverage in the evening. Now, I enjoy a vape with the same. We are all creatures of habit and I can't see quitting completely at this point in my life. Like many, I can see cutting down or eliminating the nicotine.
When I first found vaping as an alternative to smoking, I thought that I would stop vaping eventually. I was going to use it as a sort of "step-down" process. However, I've really found that I enjoy it, like so many others have said. It's hard to say where this will take me from here. I don't feel pressured to stop vaping like I did to quit smoking. I'm just going to enjoy the ride, and see where it goes.
I just wanted to add that I think it's great that we can all be supportive of what everyone wants to do. I agree that not everyone wants to remain addicted to nicotine their entire lives. Not everyone wants to give up vaping, even if it's 0 nic. The most important thing to remember for all of us is that vaping has, most likely, saved all of our lives. I can only hope the number of vapers keeps growing so that it can save more.

No I really don't plan on quitting. Not unless I'm FORCED to quit by the government completely banning the product, and I couldn't find the supplies elsewhere. Then I guess I'd HAVE to quit. I smoked for over 25 years and I'd hate to be driven back to smoking but if I couldn't get what I needed to vape I'd likely smoke again sadly. So hopefully I won't be forced into quitting vaping. I find it much more satisfying than smoking!
For me, vaping is a stepping-stone to giving up altogether, and I intend to quit vaping eventually as well. But it's a way to deal with the various parts of the addiction one at a time.
Right now I've been vaping for only 2 and a half weeks. There are so many chemicals in smoke as well as nicotine, so for now hopefully I'm clearing my system of those. Soon I intend to start gradually reducing the nicotine. I have no specific target of when I would like to be at 0% nicotine, I will just see how it goes. To be honest, I think lowering the nicotine will be the easiest part. I expect I will continue vaping at 0% nicotine for quite a while, as I think the habit will be the hardest part to break.
The important thing for me is that I am not smoking. My only goal is to stay off the cigarettes, no time scales, and I will vape as long as I need to, in order to prevent myself smoking. And quit that too eventually. I expect it will take at least 2 years.

I'm not sure what "quiting" is, but I sure don't plan on QUITTING e-cigs. I didn't have any plans for quitting cigarettes either, till something better and non-lethal came along. Now that it has, a smoker-for-life has become an ex-smoker who is a vaper for life. I'm not a puritan, nor a Pure Pollyanna, and I don't see any particular reason for quitting e-cigs.

I am planning on reducing my dependency on nicotine, but only because I feel I have to with the looming FDA regulations. I'm writing my representatives, I donate to CASAA and I go to any political event where e-cigarettes are discussed in my region. Still, against heavy weights like Big Tobacco, I'm not optimistic. More realistic, and realistically I know that the "person" who can donate the most to any candidate is the one who's going to win the political war. That's what this is about after all. The campaign donations and the tax money. Big Tobacco can pay their due, and the less Big Tobacco makes, the less our political leaders make.
IMO, you should raise your nic level, to 9 or 12 mg, and get rid of those last few cigs. Nic isn't bad for you, cigs are. And you'll never be a non smoker by smoking.
I haven't had a cig in over 2 years. I'm fairly sure I cold quit vaping if I tried, but I haven't tried. (I stopped for 24 hours after some dental work. When I was smoking, 24 hours without a cig would have driven me crazy.)
I am off the nic. I may go back to low levels of nic, I'm not sure. Nic isn't really a health issue, and it has some benefits. I vape all the time, though. The habit is still there.
While I think I *could* quit vaping, the reasons that applied to quitting smoking don't apply to vaping. The health issues aren't the same. Vaping isn't free, but it's far, far cheaper than smoking was, at least for me. Vaping doesn't make me (and everything around me) smell bad. And I can vape in a lot of places where I wouldn't be allowed to smoke.
At this point, I'm not really expecting to quit vaping. A bigger question for me is whether I'm going to go back to using nicotine.
