Does anyone ever plan to quit vaping?

[GalacticDust]

yes, one day hopefully but cant see it happening in the immediate future

I started vaping to save money - I use low nicotine juice and vape a lot and enjoy it immensely - but then I always liked smoking as well, so no, I am not planning to quit.

Probably not. The flavors are just so tasty. Doing apple right now.

I just recently started vaping and quit smoking accidentally lol. I wanted to try the vaping for a while and just decided to go ahead one day. I had a full pack of ciggs and finished them over the course of a week! I was smoking a pack a day but the vape was so nice I just didnt want to smoke anymore.. who knew?!? Anyhow, I greatly enjoy nicotine and as long as I'm being much more healthy about how I take it in I'm ok with not stopping the vape. I really love vaping and ciggs are a total turn off now so I'm cool with the exchange and no plans on quitting. Just my 2 cents.

So far (it's only been about a month) I am enjoying it so much I do not plan on quitting in the ear future. The problem for me was that I love to smoke! I really enjoyed it. Now, I have this safer alternative that is just as, if not more, enjoyable due to all of the different variations. But, I am definitely going to try and cut back the nicotine.

I don't plan to quit or step down my nic level. It's gone to the realm of hobby for me. I have been vaping for four years now. I love being on the lookout for the next revolution in vaping technology. Always chasing the perfect vape.

I just recently started vaping and quit smoking accidentally lol.

I, TOO, "quit by accident"!!!

After 50 years of analog smoking I LOVED it! I only bought an eGo-C/iClear 16 to use in restaurants, grocery stores, etc. But after I got it, filled it with juice, took a couple hits to try it and put it next to my pack of tobaccy cigs...EVERY TIME I've wanted to inhale a little smoke, blow out a few smoke rings and get a hit of nicotine I've used my e-cig. It's just SO much more pleasurable! (The cost savings, health benefits, clean smelling apartment, etc. are, for me, only of secondary importance.)

So..."ever plan to quit vaping?".....Why would I???

 

[FlameFairy]

Quit? I just started, lol! So many flavors, so little time!!! I really, really enjoy vaping, much more than just a way to get off analogs. It's an entirely new, HUGE realm of tasty possibilities. I have lowered my nic to 9 and below, and may well one day be vaping nic free, who knows? I am enjoying the Vape experience now, not just using it as a substitute!

I loved smoking. I don't know how I would have stopped using analogs without PVs even though I knew what it was doing to me. And others. For me, maybe, maybe not. I like vaping much more than smoking. Twenty-one years on tobacco, 13 days on the juice. I'm obsessed with all of my new toys and I don't think I'm going to stop vaping anytime soon.

 

[Halofan2013]

For me, I have been off analogs for something like 8 years with an occasional stress relief smoke. I got started vaping because I was on a business trip and it was extremely stressful (IT support for executives) and I almost caved and bought smokes to help me through the time. I happened to buy a disposable Blu and loved it. I loved smoking and only stopped because of the negatives and my wife (girlfriend at the time) hated it.
Since I wasn't smoking analogs recently once I started getting my own juice I started with 6mg and I'm bouncing between that and 0mg. I love the flavors and not feeling guilty or shameful for having an analog. Vaping is awesome, it's a fun hobby and solves my oral fixation addiction (another reason I loved smoking) so I intend to keep going

I had a doctor's visit last week and told her that I was going to start vaping again to get off analogs. I was surprised that she stressed that this was a way to quit but must be used as a "gateway" and must be discontinued ASAP. I have been smoking for @ 40 years and if I decide to vape til I am gone, so be it. I do not understand some MD's hostility to this. I definitely want to get to 0 nicotine at some point but I see this is much healthier. Why can't she see this as an improvement to what I have been doing? 2 packs per day. Anybody else have this reaction from their MD's?

 

[suspectK]

I don't plan to quit. I'll listen to medical professionals on subjects that have sufficient research studies put in to them, and even still, I probably won't listen.

 

[_more_]

I have no plans to quit vaping nic. But i have cut my nic levels considerably since I started. I started at 18mg and now am at 3mg while at home. When I am out or am under stress then I use 6mg strength.

Maybe i will require less nic next year idk because i like nicotine.

 

[ocolinny]

I think it was well put when I read that if you don't already smoke, I don't encourage vaping. For somebody coming off the smokes its a great alternative to smoking. I haven't been able to quit.EVER.. but with two weeks of vaping I've only smoked 3 a day and have only bought 2 oacks, where as before I would buy a 25 gram pouch 4 times a week. for goodness sakes I smoked in my sleep. Now im sleeping all night. I hang the pipe by my bed post and if I do wake up, I have a puff and straight back to sleep. For ME I think this is the way to go.

 

[Johnny101]

I'll stop vaping when you pry this thing out of my cold dead hand even then I won't give it up to easily

My goal was to quit 'smoking' period. . .What say you?

When I started vaping in May 2010 I intended to switch my 2.5 PAD tobacco habit over to solo vaping. Having accomplished this, then next goal was to wean myself off vaping. Took me 6 month to get to solo vaping. After 6 months of solo vaping I became concerned I might be inhaling too much Cinnamon. I DIY my liquid so, next batch I left the Cinnamon out. 24 hours later I discovered that I had also ACCIDENTLY left the nicotine out of that batch. Decided who needs it. Continued on vaping 50/50 PG/VG till Feb 6 this year. Emergency trip to hospital, not vape related. Kept me there 10 days, out for 2, then back in for 12 more. Since I went in emergency I didn't take an ecig with me. After 24 days without vaping I decided to give everything to family members that were still smoking. My original intent was to quit smoking, then quit vaping. I smoked tobacco more than 52 years. Now, I don't miss either. Vaping was never a hobby for me. . .just a means to the quitting tobacco end. Things worked out great. Didn't happen exactly like I had planned, but worked out fine just the same.

Cheers,
otrpu

You have to have some form of enjoyment. I do not drink and I enjoyed my pipe. However that was stopped last year following a heart attack. I used gum, but something was missing, then this year I discovered calling and that fixed the missing part of giving up smoking. Then I discovered e-pipes, of which I now have 3. I have no intention of giving up, but I am waiting for the various governments to find a way of taxing vaping then it might be time to quit.

 

[Kenji]

I dont think I will every stop vaping. I am enjoying my vape time, analog is no longer even in the picture. I got my tasty setup but now i am working on my Cloud setup LOL chasing them clouds. I am current at 6mg of nic. I do not think ill ever go down to 0, 6mg of nic or nice in general isnt really dangerous. Nicotine is in the same classification as caffine (spelled wrong but whatevers). Nicotine does have its benifits if you look into it, it only has a bad rep cause its paired up with analog smokes. Well thats my 2 cents - vape on.

 

[firespark]

When I started I had planned on using vaping to quit smoking and that worked great. I had planned on eventually lowering my nic levels and to stop vaping but I have decided I don't want to. I enjoyed smoking and only wanted to quit for my kids. But now that I vape I really have no reason to quit. I make all my juice so I know exactly what I am inhaling and as far as I am concerned it cant be as bad as smoking so why stop. I'll never go back to cigarettes just smelling them is gross to me now.

 

[THETOTALLYCOOL]

It did not seem practical that I would quit drinking, but 10 years ago, I did.
Two years ago, while on vacation, I rented a cabin. Inside, I found a well stocked liquor cabinet, and also cold beer in the fridge. I was alone. Nobody would know. But I would know. It freaked me out a bit, but I moved the bottles so they would be out of sight. After sleeping, I was okay. Didn't touch the stuff. I was surprised and proud.

I was certain I wouldn't/couldn't quit smoking. I tried vaping. It was okay. One day, I made the switch. First two days were kind of ....ty, but after that, no prob. Now, it's been just three months, but I'm confident.

I tapered from 24mg to 18. Now. the only bottles I have are 11mg, and will use those to taper to that plateau. If that works out, I'll slowly move from 11 to 6mg. If that works, I'll try to get to a lower value, or just quit.

I don't know what will happen. If I can't stop vaping, I guess I'll just accept it. But yeah, I'd like to dump the habit, just because it's a habit. If I keep vaping, okay. If I take up smoking again, less-ok, but okay. If I start drinking again, that's not okay.

My brother chews his fingernails. It's disgusting. It's a habit. The thought has crossed my mind, I wish he'd take up smoking instead.
