In reality I am not sure as its too soon for me to decide. I've only been off cigs for going on 3 months at this time. I do plan to cut down on the nic over time, but I think I do like vaping more than smoking. The flavors of vaping are MUCH better than the cig taste :)

Once I get down to 0 nic then I will figure if I want to continue or if its time to cut the vaping out. Till that time, I'll enjoy the journey getting there!!!

I never thought I would quit smoking, not because I didn't want to after 20+ years, but because that dang monkey had its claws firmly sunk into my back. I have tried many times, using almost every conceivable method known to man except hypnosis. I managed to quit on a couple of occasions, but the longest period was only a few months.

This goes for me too. Before the miracle of e-cigs I had tried the patch, gum, cold turkey, and other prescriptions I don't recall the exact names of now.

No!

Because I never thought I could do this without a cigar

But I can, and love it even better with a Provari or REO

Part of my problem is my nicotine addiction has been paired with a caffeine/sugar addiction in the form of Mt. Dew. I have all but cut that out with the exception of 1 per day. I was never a coffee drinker.

So, I am trying to let myself down gently. One step at a time. Still getting a little caffeine/sugar (from the 1 a day Dew) so I am trying to balance the nicotine intake so as not to put myself into too big of shock.
Just buy some Mt. Dew e-juice

I've been at this for quite a while now. About 8-9 months ago, I finally moved down from 24mg. Then I jumped from 18 to 11. It's interesting , because 18 to 11 wasn't anything. But from 11 to 8mg was a bit tougher. But now I'm firmly at 8, with all my 11 remnants gone lol. I'm thinking 8 to 4 won't be anything...but 4 to 0 is gonna be a rough morning..maybe. I'm gonna find out soon enough

But it hasn't done anything for my nicotine addiction. Truth be told, it may have actually made my nicotine addiction worse, but that is a different discussion altogether.

How do you know it's made your addiction to nicotine worse? Have you tried cutting down on nicotine strength?

I quit smoking 1 1/2 years ago after more than 40 years of smoking 1 to 2 PAD. Have gone from 24mg nic down to 6mg and sometimes 0mg nic. I didn't go into spasms nor violent episodes. I do vape because I love the flavors.

My wife and I both plan to quit vaping habitually. We've tapered down from 12mg to about 5mg in terms of strength with 0mg being the end goal. We plan to keep or devices handy for those situations in which we would have previously enjoyed an analog (camping, over a glass of wine, etc.) The overall plan is to keep the enjoyment and recreational aspect and drop the daily dependency.

I like the idea of having to spend zero dollars on a nicotine habit that no longer exists, but only time will tell. I've only been off the smoggers for a little over a week, and have stepped the nicotine down from 18-16-12/11 (though I still have a little 18mg juice saved for the rougher mornings). And I have a vamo v3 coming in either today or tomorrow, so I'd like to drive the wheels off that before contemplating my nic departure :)

Guess I could. Seems like every other level is the crappy one lol

Well, that's what I've heard. I'm not there yet. :)

I didn't start vaping to quit smoking. Thrilled that I did though. Didn't even try to reduce nicotine, just sort of happened naturally, - kept adding PG/VG to my liquids and it tasted better.

I quit 2 weeks ago and although I was eventually planning on quitting my "quit date" wasn't planned. Just got so happily busy working on my cars that I literally forgot all about vaping. Will I ever vape again...I don't know BUT I do know I will NEVER light another analog ever again and would have no hesitation of going back to vaping if the need ever arose.

i plan on vaping till i die,and nobody is gonna give a damn! i have cut from 24mg to 6mg, and now and then 12mg. thats because im using a reo grand. if i was still on an ego battery i would not have been able to do that. just not enough vape! pretty much 6ml/day so usage did go up some.

That's very true. That's what's caused me to reduce nicotine- mods.
