Does anyone ever plan to quit vaping?

I am analog free for over 6 months now, and have cut my nicotine level from 24 to 6mg. The funny thing to me is I can envision a no nicotine vape; however, I have no plans at all to quit vaping. I enjoy the taste, shopping for the latest and greatest atty, APV, case, tip, etc. I do realize that I have exchanged one addiction for another, but for the life of me, I can't bring up a solitary feeling of guilt. Am I alone in this, or do some of y'all feel the same?

I will quit when I break even that will be in about 379 years

Edit I do not feel guilty I feel more energetic, more stamina, and lighter in the step due to no money from buying mods. ;-) But I think society makes people think you are week or something because you have an addiction. Everyone has their demons Im very happy with mine I love the gadgets and toys!

No plans to quit. I enjoyed smoking. It was relaxing, comforting, a habit I shared with my late father and brother. I have fond memories of having a cigarette with my departed loved ones and bygone friends, it was a part of my life for over 25 years. Vaping provides all the positives of smoking with far better flavors and the advantage of being less harmful to ones health. I usually enjoyed smoking even though I knew it was killing m. I LOVE vaping. Down to 6-12mg and see a nicotine addiction as not far worse than a caffeine addiction and less harmful than a refined sugar habit.

No plans to quit, and see a nicotine addiction as not far worse than a caffeine addiction and less harmful than a refined sugar habit.

I have all three of those addictions with no intentions of ever quiting. I take sugar in my coffee and relax with vapes ranging from 16mg - 36mg. The lessor the nicotine, the more I vape. The higher the nicotine the sooner it is to get over nicotined. But of course if you chain smoked cigarettes you could over nicotine as well, and with more harmful substances getting absorbed in your body too. I would say my addictions are well under control, no drug use, and I feel much better then when I smoked. If you new me you'd say I was a highly addictive person. I smoked pot for years and cigarettes were just great after smoking, combined with my caffine and sugar addictions and there was no stopping me. I had many fights with my wife because she didn't want me smoking pot all the time. It got worse when synthic weed came out, and one bad trip on that and I was in jail for having blacked out while driving and trying a new brand. Luckfully no one was hurt, but it took being taken to the hospital and being in jail for 2 months to get me to wake up.
So I've seen me share of troubles with addiction, and to be honest, I'm surprised and impressed I made it this far without having a cigarette. I really must say these devices do work amazingly well to get people off cigarettes. And while they do cost money to maintain, its far less then smoking costs.

While my goal is to eliminate nic from the equation, I don't see myself retiring my PV when I get there. I enjoy vaping and as others have pointed out, it can be a good social lubricant. When I was smoking, I saw far more of my friends that also smoked than I did those who did not ... I'm not certain if that was their doing or mine frankly but either way, the effect was the same. :) It was something we had in common and could enjoy together. I hope some day vaping will serve a similar role as it's acceptance grows. That's provided of course, the FDA doesn't break up the party.

For me, vaping is just too much fun!
So no, I don't ever plan to quit vaping.
The way I see it, though, I may one day forget to take my PV with me when I leave the house, and by the time I notice, it'll be too late.
Then I'll get home, pass out from a long day's work, and just not vape. I'll wake up in the morning, say, 'I'll vape after my shower.' but realize I'm behind my schedule, then rush out of the house without grabbing the trusty ProVari...by the time the weekend comes, I probably won't even be thinking about it.

Boy, that escalated quickly.

It's a likely scenario, though. At least, for me.
But right now, I'm having the time of my life with my gadgets.

I do not plan to do anything really. That is why vaping has worked for me when those structured patch, gum,etc. programs did not. I am weaning nic, but it has been a very, very slow wean.

I do expect that once I get to 0 nic and I am there a while, I will probably quit vaping. But if I don't no biggie. If I never get to 0 nic, no biggie either. I'm not smoking so it's all good.

The way I see it, i've invested money into vaping. It'd be ridiculous for me to quit! Granted, I also threw thousands of dollars into paintball, then life hit. But, I think the nic is nice for keeping me sane and on some sort of leash. I'll probably drop my level, but i'll still vape. Know quite a few who vape at level 0, it's all in the enjoyment of it.

Also, if the FDA starts to ban, i'm grabbing up a few more mods (or parts to make them), more rebuildables, big bottle of nic juice, and a bunch of Lor Anns flavorings. FDA can't ban everything that we use.

No plans to quit vaping - no plans at all...
I will keep on buying toys, just not those too big or tall.
This vaping thing has saved my life-
All that I enjoyed about smoking with limited strife.

And now the DIY, the Mods, the toys -
The community of fun girls and boys.
Why would I quit, I love this ....!
Oh hell, another store...
Must buy and vape more and more and more and more.

One last thing, before the Awe Shucks
The FDA, big tobacco and anti vaping squad
Sucks, Sucks, Sucks!
