Bit of background:
Smoked for 25 years quite heavily (40-50 cigs per day). I have a heavily addictive personality.
Quit for 8 years with no slip-ups (quit for the kids)
Started vaping 2.5 months ago and have increased to about 1.25 ml a day of 11-18mg juice.
Now for the test
I was feeling a bit of a head cold a few days back so I decided to use it as a test to see how much of the previous addiction had returned.
Just under 48 hours of no vaping and there were none of the symptoms of addiction. I would get the odd thought once in a while that it would be nice to relax with a vape but none of the jittering, etc that comes from nicotine withdrawal. No clammy skin, no headaches, no stress...nothing.
I was quite surprised by the lack of addiction. I think there might be some validity that nicotine alone is not that potent an addiction. Maybe I just need more time.
