Do you plan to quit vaping?

[Boodle]

On the path to do something better for myself by vaping I've exposed 30 to 40 others who have successfully switched to vaping in my city. I felt guilty about smoking cigarettes with the health risk to myself, loved ones, the smell, stigma and on and on.

Contact from friends and friends of friends sharing how much better their quality of life is analog-free is a gift. I would leave my career and volunteer full-time to the cause if I could afford it. To sum up this rambling answer; no, I don't plan to stop vaping.

I have been vaping for 23 days and LOVE it! I do plan to reduce my nic level but the actual ability to hold what seems like a cigarette in my hand and produce vape keeps me from overeating which is why I didn't want to quit smoking. I'm just going to play it by ear and see what happens.

Great question. Let me think about it...............NO

Vaping got me off cigarettes.
When something works, I'm sticking to it.

Not any time soon - I'm not a heavy vaper though as it is.

I second that...I'm enjoying it way too much

other than the obvious effects of nicotine on the body (which i dont mind so much) the research i find online is a bit confusing to me as to whether or not there are any cancer agents in the e-cigs. i tend to believe that if any danger is present it is soooo much smaller than in analogs it is very good trade off.... but the question is... do you plan on eventually quitting vaping, or are you content to vape for the rest of your lives??

just curious about your thoughts

First Congratulations on quitting analogs

As someone with a strong case of ADD I find the intake of nicotine almost essential to be able to function at a somewhat 'normal' level so I have no plans on ever quitting vaping until there is strong enough evidence that it is really bad for you.

As far as containing cancer agents? ....well the way I see it unless you live out in the middle of nowhere and never go anywhere near a population center than there are already plenty of known carcinogens in the air you breath and the food you eat (assuming you are not on a 100% organic diet.)

i quit smoking 2 years ago with e-cigs, then i gradually weened myself down to zero nic, and i eventually guit vaping as well, i love love loved vaping though, and i HATED smoking. the only reason i quit vaping was because i wanted to spend my money on other things since i didnt "need" nic anymore......these last few months have been extremely stressful for me, my hubby bought a bar, and the stress has me daydreaming about smoking/vaping (i quit smoking one other time and when i went back to the analogs it was worse than before i had quit, until i found vape) anyways, rather than go down that road again, i have ordered all new hardware, and zero nic...just this week. i also ordered a bottle of 6 mg nic, in case the zero nic vaping wont cut it right now in these "stressful" times lol....sooooooooooo i think for me, i will always vape, even if it is on again off again, when needed, i know this though...as long as vaping is an option i will never ever ever ever go back to those stinking horrible tasting death sticks....seriously....

I'm not totally off vaping yet. It's been 5-1/2 months. But I stopped inhaling so I hope this is the last step for me to be free from it all.

Not inhaling cut me down to a few puffs here and there, mostly just to get that oral fixation craving that comes during times of stress.

I will not stop vaping until I hit 10,000 posts on the forum. Then I may just take up smoking again so I can start vaping anew and then create another ID on the forum and start all over.

No, I don't plan on quitting vaping, but then I didn't really plan on completely quitting cigarettes either. Like some of the other posts I am enjoying it and have quite a stash of stuff to use up.

Where have you read about any cancer causing agents in e-cigs?

 

[dragonladee]

I'm satisfied enough with the safety of what I am doing now that I don't feel the need to ever quit. I haven't had any analogs since I started but I'm just 2.5 weeks in myself. I do worry that some politician will somehow manage to make e-cig supplies very expensive or difficult to get in the future. I have a feeling that now that I've been able to kick the analogs that if I needed or wanted to quit vaping it would be pretty easy stepping down the nic but barring a ban, new PIA regulations, or the revelation of some unknown risks in the future I'm probably a vaper for life!

I have been an occasional smoker for 2 years after being a serious smoker for 13 years. So my goal is to get to zero nic then only to do that socially. I don't have a timetable for that right now. I will see. I just like being able to do my thing without the smell, the sneaking and all of the rest. I am very new so I am still in the honeymoon period with my e-cigg.

I love vaping !

I will be buried with my Silver Bullet in hand...

Tobacco is organic.

Quit vaping? Only if it becomes impossibly expensive to do so or requires signing my name in some government registry (or some other wacky .....)

It lifts my mood, curbs my appetite, and seems to have no ill effects on my health - in fact I feel better, more energetic since I quit analogs for good more than a year ago. I will admit that I love nicotine. Could I live without it? Yeah, sure I could. Do I want to? No. As another ADD'er, I'm not sure I would be nearly as functional or productive without my vapes.

Tobacco is organic.

Not if chemicals are used in the growing or curing process it isn't and far more goes into a cigarette than just tobacco.
Besides I was talking about the foods you eat in that part.

Quit vaping? I'd have nothing else to look forward to in my life! No really...I just got laid off and all I do all day is stare at my computer, type, and vape...and occasionally eat something or whatever.

Yup.. I am looking at quitting vaping within the next 12 months. My original intent was never to quit smoking but it happened naturally. Now I am starting to question the reasons I even vape. Yes, I enjoy the similar things.. the throat hit, the flavour, the vapour (simulated smoke) but it's still a habit that I need to spend money on, though considerably less than I did when I was smoking. Nicotine alone maybe be safer than smoking with all the other chemicals but it is still a poison and I have come to a point where I really think it is not needed in my life anymore.

When I first started vaping, I was on 36mg/ml for the first 4 or 5 months.. then I switched to 24mg/ml for about a year.. then, for the last few months, I have been hovering around 18 to 20 mg/ml. For the last 2 weeks I have been vaping 11mg/ml and I am now used to this strength. In some cases the juices at 11mg are even feeling like 24mg/mg strength in regards to the throat hit and I am getting the same amount of vapour and the flavour actually seems stronger. I even tried my first ever 6mg/ml yesterday and today, and it is actually not too bad..

So I will slowly work my way through the most recent batch of 11mg/ml juices I have till I am well and truly ok with that strength and then I will drop to 6mg/ml and spend a couple of months at that strength.. then try 0 to 3 mg/ml for a while till I can get it completely to 0mg/ml without any problem... at that stage, it would just become a purely psychological addiction that I would need to kick.. but at that point also, it wouldn't matter if I kept vaping forever because I have reduced the intake of poison to zero...
