For the time being no. I could go without it, but my temper has a shorter fuse without vaping. That being said I'm down to 4mg, so I'm working my way off of nicotine at the moment.
I'm pretty much the same way, I'm down to 6mg....
I can go hours without it if I'm occupied or busy....
No plans on quitting, just working my way down....

I don't know???? Maybe, not, vaping 12mg now, down from 24mg to start. And that is after 3+ years of vaping. I had a hard time getting from 24mg to 20mg, but, going to 12mg has been way easier then I thought. I even have some 6mg for when I try the sub ohm coils in the Subtank. I think since the gear has gotten better, the nic is not very important anymore. And I love blowing clouds. I stockpiled some nic and if I go to 6mg it should last 5 years. Maybe then I'd be ready to stop vaping. But, don't think so.
As Sgt. Shultz used to say " I know NOTHING!"

None. I intend to carry a 26650 tube mod on my person for as long as I draw breath--so I'll be able to stuff it up Stanton Glantz's :censored: should I ever meet him on the street.

If you are ever so privileged, PLEASE take some pics and post them on twitter!

In principle I have no problem stockpiling against vapocalypse and I'm doing just that. I have a strong behavioral dependency on vaping, and previously smoking. I'm not sure how much is a nic dependency. My big concern is that if open system vaping is made illegal it will force all of us behind closed doors to vape, and that is a very bad thing. I suspect a lot of people haven't thought that part through yet.

They may make it impossible to buy open-system vape gear, but I'll be damned if they'll stop me vaping that way. I will not go back to cartos to please ANYONE.

Thought to ignore this thread, but the Op is a simple and self perspective post.

Personally, probably not going to stop. The over 45 year hand to mouth habit is well ingrained and I'd prefer a mod to a pencil or pin in my mouth.
Nic, I have discovered is not a big issue. It helps in stressful times as it always has, though the need is much less than previous while smoking.
I've easily(read SLOWLY) dropped to 3mg and often vape at 1mg.

Like Ice cream or a good candy bar.......it is something I enjoy

OH, Crap...........there is those(For the Children) Flavors again :facepalm:

Nicotine increases memory, concentration, and attention...
Even in never-smokers...

Why give that up?

It's better than caffeine.
And I don't see very many people on this earth ready to give that up.

And that's not even getting into the potential of nicotine to help stave off dementia.
I kind of like that idea as well.

I don't "plan" on quitting, but if it becomes highly regulated or illegal I probably will. I also have a strong family history of Alzheimer's and dementia, which nicotine supposedly helps. I have pretty severe undiagnosed ADHD (but all the symptoms) and I can really tell a difference in my attitude and focus with nicotine. I also love blowing clouds. Doubt I would start regularly smoking tobacco if vaping was gone. Maybe a pipe or cigar once in a while but definitely never starting the habit of cigarettes. I've gone 8 years of smoking here and there, it will never be more than that, even without vaping, but as of now I'm enjoying vaping.
 
I quit smoking. I like caffeine, nicotine and the occasional mixed drink or beer when watching the NHL or at a party. I do not drink otherwise or do any other drugs of any kind.

Since Sept 7th, I've purchased more than 2,000ml of "prepared" e-liquids, and recently purchased five 250ml flasks of 100mg, Nude Nicotine Armor. I have no immediate plans to quit, but who knows what the future brings! I'll quit when I want to quit though, not when the feds or state tells me I have to quit.

My maternal grandmother, after my grandfather's death in 1985, just gradually came unmoored from the rest of the world, though she lived till 1999 -- she was 95, but didn't even know who SHE was, nevermind anyone else. My other grandmother, I wasn't very close to, but my father told me that she suffered Alzheimers, which is why she didn't even make it to 85.

I'm in the same boat. Different diagnoses but mental health issues will keep me vaping, as it is the best thing for me.

I've posted before, the only thing I planned on quitting was cigarettes, and I accomplished that.

Although I have been cutting my nicotine down over the two years I've been vaping, I currently don't have a plan to quit vaping. I may, some day, but it's not something I've put on my calendar. I enjoy vaping, I believe it's better than cigarettes, and the hobby aspect of it keeps my mind and my hands busy.
