I took the "No, I'm not there yet" option. I don't know if I'll give it up, but am not ruling it out. I started at 24mg and have cut back to the 8-12 range without a problem. I still have a stash of 24mg cartomizers I'm slowly working my way through, and they almost make me loopy now - I may wind up rinsing them out. At any rate, I'll continue to try to cut back at my own pace, and if I make it, great. If not, I'm fine with that, too.
Dont know if its too late to alter, but perhaps the first one should read something like:
I vape for taste/ I am already down to zero nicotine..
I vape for taste/ I am already down to zero nicotine..
I have no intention of giving it up m'self.
Having said that I also vape for taste and the hand to mouth, but I never started with the actual intention of saying g'bye to nicotine.
I say we lobby to ban coffee and Alcohol... stick some mud in the other side's eyes.
Ok, bad idea.... I don't drink coffee, but I like my other beverages.

Very interesting: At 26 votes it is 50-50 for plan to quit nicotine vs. never, with zero for already there. What fascinates me about this is that I suspect a poll of smokers would result in much higher than 50% plan to quit. Of course it remains to be seen whether the plans of vapers work out any better than the plans of smokers in this regard.
I said no, I don't plan on giving it up, but really I'm not sure at this point in time. So far I keep bringing down the amount of nicotine anyway, so I might get there regardless
My intention is to be healthier if someday I don't feel like vaping or using snuff anymore that's cool. But for now I don't intend to go nic free. I like it and I am proud to say that now I get to enjoy one of my guilty pleasures without the damage I was doing to myself with an extra 4,000 chemicals.
Some people might be healthy smokers but it was not working for me. Thanks e-cigs and the forum.

I come from a long line of nicotine addicts... My dad's side of the family were all crazy heavy smokers until some health problem made them stop and/or they got old and dropped dead from one thing or another.
My dad still loves his cigars.
My brother likes his chaw.
I loved my ciggies but was afraid of all the side effects, so I fought.. and fought..
Now that I discovered vaping I can still get my minor dose of nicotine without the carcinogens. Win!

Heck, I read more no nic posts than this in one thread, lol.
Woot! Broke Even!!

When I first tried vaping, I didn't even think I'd quit smoking. I thought this would just be an alternative for use when I couldn't smoke and maybe it would help me cut back. But then I really did quit and was so happy about that I didn't care if I ever got off nicotine. Here I am a few months later having dropped my nic level with no problem, thinking why not make it a goal to be free of nicotine addiction?
What I'd love is to be able to vape 0mg for enjoyment and be able to occasionally use some low strength liquid if I wanted a boost. And quite honestly, I think I could be that way with an e-cig. It simply doesn't have the same hold on me cigarettes did. It seems like I vape constantly, but I've been doing that since day one, no matter what strength nic I use. I really think it's more habit and psychological attachment to my e-cig than it is addiction. Whether it'll be just as effortless to go lower remains to be seen, but I'm in no rush. I'd just like to get there eventually.

I plan to quit one day! I am down to vaping 6mg but going to zero nic is very hard. I enjoy the ritual aspects too much to ever really quit vaping though. Since I got my Chuck and started dripping it is just too easy to really ever want to quit!
I've been vaping different strengths as well, and I find that some of the zero nicotine liquids are better than others. But I agree with telsie about it being a pychological attachment. I just enjoy the act of smoking, and the nicotine doesn't seem to matter now.
