If You Could Quit Vaping Today Would You?

[Racehorse]

I don't really enjoy the fiddling part so I guess I'm getting tired of it and might be time to quit.
I don't crave nic anymore, it's just the ritual / behavioral thing for me now.

Don't consider quitting vaping unless you are sure you are ready though. I vaped for a long time already....

I must be odd... I am going between 24 and 18 just fine but I am using egos and clearomisers (both of which are junk not even real ego on the branding I mean) so I am not sure I would stay that high on a better set up.

Not odd. Use whatever strength that keeps you from smoking. There are plenty of folks who've been vaping for quite some time that are still at relatively high nic levels. I've been at 15 for nearly a year. If I drop lower, I just go though proportionately more juice, and I see no benefit to that.

Racehorse I'm with you..I need two of me as it is..the "fiddle factor" is not something I really want (hence my gear)

and yeah if I could waive my magic wand and not need to vape w/o having cravings, oral fixation, not to mention a fierce 30 year nicotine addiction disappear, etc, yeah I'd quit.

Every time you finish smoking a cigarette you "quit". Every time you smoke another one you relapse. The relevent variable is the time between each quit and the next relapse. I started smoking as a teenager, quit for a number of years and relapsed. I quit again as a young man and relapsed again 10+ YEARS later. Each time that happens it's harder to resist the next relapse. After 2 relapses consider me incurable. There has to be a better way and fortunately there is.

Early in October I started vaping. My cigs declined from 25-30 to 4 per day almost immediately. At that point the interval between quit and relapse is 4-6 hours, a huge improvement. Six weeks later I ran out of cigs and didn't buy more. 6 weeks later I smoked a cig on Christmas day with my brother who still smokes, not because I craved it but to demonstrate to him and myself that I've lost interest and he can too. The cigarette didn't taste good. I didn't want another. It took a couple months of vaping for me to get to that place. (I gave my brother an N mini and Istick and it appears he will get to zero cigs.)

Vaping is a game changer because it addresses relapsing. I would happily stop vaping or vape a lot less than today but it's my best defense against relapsing so it will always be in use or at the ready.

I really don't think I would. I, like many others have turned it into a hobby and I really don't want to give up something that I love doing and I'm very passionate about. I told my doctor that I've been vaping for the past year and he said why don't you make it your New Year's resolution to quit. I think that he thinks I'm just using a cigalike. He doesn't know how involved I am with it so I said maybe but I knew in my head I wasn't going to. I am going to go down to 3mg this month though.

When I saw my doc early in Dec, he asked me if it was like other NRT, you quit it at some point. I told him, MAYBE, in a few years, and only because I do have asthma, but after smoking for 39 yrs, I'm in no hurry about it at all. He just nodded. He knows already how I react to well-intentioned lectures, from all the years of my resisting his suggestions of quitting smoking -- he's just glad I finally did THAT.

Stop vaping? No way!

Not a chance. I'm just getting started. [emoji1][emoji1]

They are welcome to pry my vape pen from my cold dead hand ... I also expect them to refill the clearo, change the coil, and lay it gently beside me ... oh, and a charger too ...

I could quit now... But I don't want to! As long as there is good juice to vape, I'll be vaping!

x2 I love tinkering with my mods and enjoy vaping nic-free now. Just like smoking, I love vaping and it falls within the anti-smoking regs at work and doesn't effect my insurance. Blah!!!!
