Do you still smoke regular tobacco cigarettes...?

[guyvelella]

I wanted to know how everyone was doing by asking where you fall on the e-cigarette spectrum.

1. Still a smoker, have not started vaping yet but am thinking about buying an ecig.
2. Started vaping but still cant give up smoking. Dual user.
3. Quit smoking but continue being addicted to nicotine in ecigs.
4. Quit vaping and all forms of nicotine entirely.

Hmmm I think you should create a
#5-Quit smoking cigs enjoy using nicotine in my ecig (not addicted)

#3 from the first day I started vaping 29 mos. ago, but I'm not sure I'm "addicted" to nicotine since I don't want more. I want less. I keep reducing my nic level from 9mg to 6 to 3 to 1 and now sometimes none. I do make my own. Don't really care to reduce it to 0 because I'm hoping I'll benefit from nic in my old age mind......but I've reduced it anyway without any problems........Am I tricking myself.....again. Ha!

Help me, Help me. I'm sooo addicted to nicotine!!

That what you want to hear?

#3 but a little bit of #2

I was a pack a day smoker, (marlboro reds) but sometimes i only smoke 1 cig a day and thats after dinner. Vaping for me not only helped but its pretty much a full time hobby now. I use 3mg nico and switch between sub-ohm tanks and RDA's and have quite the collections of mods.

I fall directly between #3 and #4. I haven't had an analog cig in almost two years but I also recently started vaping 0 nicotine juice (per cardiologist's insistence). I plan to continue vaping because I love the flavors.

#5-Quit smoking cigs enjoy using nicotine in my ecig (not addicted)

+1 for addition of #5

Not quite sure where my daughter and I fit. Probably a reluctant #3.

We quit smoking cold turkey around 6 years before we discovered ecigs - not because either of us wanted to, but because we could not afford for both of us to keep smoking. The desire to smoke never really left for either of us. Around 4 years ago, stress and cravings were starting to push us toward smoking again. We got a couple of disposable Blus, and proved to ourselves that we could still be ex-smokers. We have since moved on to better equipment. Once we got cigalikes with refillable cartridges, we did try low nicotine, high vg eliquids, but they were not satisfying to us with the equipment we then had, and so we moved to higher nicotine and higher pg. As our equipment improves, we are playing with nicotine levels and pg/vg ratios.

Neither of us has any plans to quit vaping nicotine. My mother had Alzheimer's. I have cut the nicotine in my eliquids from 18 to 12, and I am now starting to see how things go with 6. At this point in time, I do not plan to go any lower than 6 mg nicotine. If they ever find an optimal level of nicotine to mitigate Alzheimer's symptoms, I will use that.

Another +1 for #5.
#6 - Had no intention to drop cigarettes, even though I knew for most of the 30+ years that I was smoking that it wasn't good for me. Vaping changed that more than a year ago.

#5

 

[tj99959]

3, but I like the sound of 5.

Only one problem, you wouldn't want to share the same planet with me if I didn't have a fair amount of nicotine in my system.
I have never had any intention of giving up nicotine ... I just didn't want to kill myself to get it.

How about none of the above

Hmmm I think you should create a
#5-Quit smoking cigs enjoy using nicotine in my ecig (not addicted)

#5 works for me
Fortunately smoke free for over 4 years and do enjoy nicotine in my e-liquid.

 

[Maytwin]

.. and another #5 here

 

[r77r7r]

I'm going to add another- So #6 here.

I'd tapered down to 0mg in just a few months, but went back to 12mg for medicinal purposes.
Tired of nic at that point ruling my life for so long, but I'm not sure I could've given up the vapor and hand-to-mouth " addiction" anytime soon.

I'm also going 5. How about you, guyvelella? Which one of these described you? Maybe we will finally get to find out if you are a vaper or not.

 

[steam heat]

Hmmm.... I vape at .3 nic, and have not smoked a CIG In 5 weeks so I'm happy with the results. I no longer want cigarettes at all and the thought of one is disgusting at this point.... I like vaping.but i don't really want to call myself addicted. I think imma try to drop to 0 nic in a few mos. Idk............ If i can drop to 0 I will prob still vape
