My g/f seems to think I should quit this after a month or so, but to me, if I dont quit then I wont be that upset because its a healthier alternative. I didnt see quitting analogs in the forseeable future, but I am now on something safer so I am not worried about it until there is solid proof that these things are worse than analogs for me.

If that ever does come out, then at least these dont give me the crazy cravings analogs did, I COULD actually see myself quitting vaping if need be.

I gave my self 6months to quit vaping..that didn't happen! But I like vaping!
I would like to quit in the future, I want to be free of it all. I am going down on my nic slow but sure, vaping 11mg in the day and 8mg or onic at night. I don't feel like it would be too hard to give up nic..but the hand to mouth would drive me nuts!
 
I plan to keep vaping even if I choose to stop using nicotine at some point. I did the math and if I continue to vape for the rest of my life, I will still be exposed to fewer carcinogens than if I had continued smoking just one more day. So as far as I'm concerned, I'm playing with the house's money.

I may quit one day, but it's not a priority. Removing all memories or thoughts of ever having a cigarette is far more important. Vape long enough that if you fall off the wagon, you go back to vaping, not back to smoking. I went from 36 mg to 0 mg overnight. Some weeks I go back to 24mg and some weeks back to 0mg. It really seems to not matter(except going up in nic makes me vape less) no withdrawal or jitters for me

Although I can see reasons (personally) to quit (i.e. my husband does NOT like it--of course he hated smoking even more!), I'm not sure I want to enough to be successful. I love vaping. I loved smoking, except the stink/mess/health issues, so it would be hard to quit something I like even MORE and which is most likely wayyyy less dangerous to me...

I wanted to quit smoking purely because of the health benefits of not smoking. I enjoy smoking so much that I don't think I could quit vaping without going back to analogs.

Yep. That's me, too... I was "allowed" by my doctor to smoke no more than four cigarettes a day, because I have a little astma (not really troublesome at this point; only precaution treatment during the Winter - but it COULD get worse, eventually). Needless to say, I rarely smoke less than 10-15 analogs a day...:oops: For me, the e-cig was a real saver, for it was the only way ever to quit analogs - never touched the inhaler again (I believe it may already be expired :D) in these past fourteen months! Trouble is, I enjoy smoking so much that if I ever had to quit vaping, it would be a real pain... just like quitting analogs. I'm not an heavy vaper (~8-12 days for a 10ml bottle), and was not an heavy smoker, but even so, I feel quitting would be quite hard.
 
At first vaping was going to be a tool for me to quit smoking. But after so much research and so much enjoyment i get from vaping I do not think I will be quitting anytime soon.

For me the only reason I would consider quitting vaping is IF they where to find some hidden health risk associated with it. My goal now is to get to the lowest possible Nicotine mg.
 
I haven't yet decided if I will eventually quit vaping, but one thing is certain... I will never return to smoking tobacco!

I am trying to stay stocked up on everything in case of a ban.

I agree, i don't think i would go to the extreme of selling all my equipment. That is the beauty about vaping if you decide to quit and then further down the road you relapse, you can just go back to vaping with out having to fall again under the clutches of analogs
