Hypothetical Vaping senario..

[DeadPerfect]

imagine a new trend started ... where hardcore vapers started mainlining nicotine to get a fix? snorting "Nico-crystal" to "nic up." think about it.... The goverment bans e-cigs and e-juice... next thing you know, your rambling down the street with shakes, meeting up with a street thug pushing juice and mods at ten times there price. welcome to the dark world of vaping..

Im at the Point i think i would be fine Vapeing 0 Nic juice.

I've had similar thoughts, wondering if I will soon be a criminal cooking up DIY juice in the basement. My grown daughters already think i'm some kind of junky with all my syringes and little tack box of supplies. But yes, we are all thankful i'm off the stinkies so that's a win.

Been reducing the NIC 1mg per month. In just 16 months I will be at zero. Could reduce faster if the situation warrants but there is currently no need to be uncomfortable.

I am concerned though...

I don't think it'll ever happen, nicotine alone or withdrawl from it doesn't have the same effect as what we'd go to a street thug for. Sure it's addictive but we don't trip out, have visions of pretty colors. cringe in a fetal position for days or hold up the corner store without it.

I'm also of the opinion that if a person has successfully made a full transition from cigarettes to vaping for a while then it's much easier to put down the ecig even if they vape high nic level juice than it would be to put cigs down for good, much less to withdrawl from although I think most use a step down method in nic.

I droped from 24mg everywhere to 12 at work and 6 at home. It was painless.

Hmmm, I was close to the "cringe in a fetal position for days" scenario the one time I tried quitting cigs cold turkey .

However I started vaping at 18mg and about 6 months into it, had to decrease nic to 12mg. I had (and have) no intention to lower the nic level I was vaping at; 18mg just became 'too strong' for me

I have tried to cut down on the nic right a way.

I might just buy some DYI and become more scientific about the walk down rather than just cutting the juice I buy.

I see this as a transistion. I might stay on the vap for the flavors. I have to say Vaping has helpped me quit for sure after 30 years of smoking.

I'm not terribly concerned about banning of flavored e-juice. They're not going to schedule nicotine, that would lead to too many problems for tobacco companies (although big pharma would love it). And PG, VG, and food flavor won't be banned. So I could always go DIY.

I am concerned about banning atomizers as illegal drug delivery devices. I can't make those.

I'm with Tersur... I also dropped down painlessly. Nicotine does help my concentration driving.... but I'll just stock up on nicotine liquid, slowly ween myself off. If absolutely positively necessary down the road, I'm thinking about 3 years I'll get those "nicomint" the nicotine mints? whatever JUST for driving. As for going to a pusher? No.... BP just doesn't want smokers who have quit to get their fix from anything but their over-priced garbage. Money, greed, that's really what it comes down to.

Cutting down on my nic as well from 18 to 11 .
I would still like my nic.

The goverment bans e-cigs and e-juice...

'They' won't do that. Over tax and over regulate... yepper, count on it!

Exactly. That is really all that matters really. The Mob, err government needs their skim.

If nic juice is banned I picture "Breaking Bad" mobile nic labs producing our "juice"
