I haven't been on here for awhile, here's my story.

So I originally started vaporizing for fun (around the time I joined this site, a year ago) and though I enjoyed it, I had terrible luck with the tanks and liquids I used, eventually causing me to give up. After this happened, I placed my system (vision spinner and aero tank v1) in my purse (with liquid) and ignored it. During this time, I did pick up smoking for a little under a month but quit and after doing so, decided to pick vaporizing back up. When I did, I realize I have a newfound appreciation for vaping, especially after my system still functioning after cleaning the tank and changing the coils (surprisingly). Even though I still want a cigarette every now and then, I am going to stick with it and try my hardest not to smoke again. I only have 0 nicotine liquid, which I'm sure is half my problem, but any advice and encouragement you have would be greatly appreciated

Get some nicotine juice for sure. I started smoking and quit cigs 3 months ago. Started out with 16 mg nic and have now dropped to 5 mg nic. I still have some 12 mg tobacco flavor for when I need a cig. Hang in there.

I had quit smoking for years prior to starting vaping but if you're still craving the Nicotine (Which is really hard to get away from, in my opinion) you could always try to start vaping the lowest dose of Nic that you can get.



It is possible to quit though, I wasn't a super heavy smoker and it took me three times to quit on will power alone but I was surprised at how hard it was *given* that I wasn't a very heavy smoker.

Kudos to you for giving it your all though.

hi shawneeelynn and welcome back. I kept a separate tank with just a little higher nic in it for when the cravings bothered me. I'd hit it a couple of times and the cravings went away. It's a struggle for certain, but I know I'm going to reach zero too. Good luck, you CAN do it!

Like everyone suggested, you may want some nicotine juice.

Here's a little bit of my story. I started vaping years ago on 18 mg strength. Then I unfortunately went back to smoking a year later. All I had was cigalikes at that time. Then I finally picked it back up again and had the ego and the cheap plastic tanks. That worked for a while and then I started smoking again... so bad. Then I eventually had a roommate with a protank mini 2. This tank was amazing to me at the time. So, I then got that for my old egos and it did the job for a little while. I somehow went fully down the rabbit hole in about 2 months time into rebuildables etc. I'm coming up to about a year off smoking again and I don't plan on going back. I think turning it into a hobby and finding communities like this is what really worked this time for me.

So, with that rant aside. I went from 18mg to 12mg quickly when I got into rebuilding. But, then after making my own juice I quickly tried 6 mg, and now I'm here on 3 mg. I plan on eventually going down to 0, but, I find 3 mg is perfect for me. My advice is to just experiment with some nic juice to wean off those cravings. If it makes you feel nauseous then you should immediately stop, drink tons of water, and know you should lower your nic level.

Good luck!
