I dont see an end in the future near or far of quitting vaping or going lower than 6 mg
This. Even after such a short period of time. (Little over a month)
Welcome to ECF!
I quit smoking, not nic...Mission accomplished. I have no interest in quitting vaping so I see no good reason, for me, to lower my nic. If my intention was to wean myself off of vaping, then that would be a different thing entirely. As it stands, I enjoy vaping as a hobby and plan to continue to do so...

I originally had the plan to get off nicotine and eventually give up vaping. It took me about a week to give up cigarettes. About 2 months to get to 0mg with a little 5mg thrown in here and there.
It also took me about 1 month to start going to doctors and about 6 months to get diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis.
Actually I was originally diagnosed with Crohn's Disease but my upper came back clean. Gastro still leans towards Crohn's but it was obvious to me nicotine is playing a part.
Nicotine helps Ulcerative Colitis so I put it back in and weaned myself up to more than I quit with. I started doing better.
My next step in drug therapies carries a lot more risks than nicotine does. So as long as nicotine helps my health I plan on using it.
I might give it up if I ever get a definitive diagnosis of Crohn's, have my colon removed or go on drugs that have me as healthy as I can expect. If I give up nicotine I'll probably give up vaping after a year or so, but I plan on keeping working ecigs around with nicotine liquid around in case I get a strong urge to smoke.

My intention was to quit smoking when I ordered my first starters kit a couple of months ago with two packs of 18mg cartomizers and two packs each of the 12mg and .6mg(which are still untouched)...
Until I explored and discovered Vaping (and ECF
Now, along with my 808, I've bought a slightly better battery and moved to ejuices. And I do not plan to quit, atleast not for now, but will eventually reduce the nicotine in my e liquids over the time.

Although the fewer things you ingest the better it is for you, I haven't developed a desire to quit vaping. Smoking? Yes, I wanted to quit and tried a few times. Vaping allowed me to quit and has kept me off the cigs. I'm down from 24mg to 12mg juice. Maybe I'll go to 8 and see how that works.
Vaping is credited (theoretically) by the AMA as a possible agent in the prevent of respiratory related illnesses in vapers. I'd have to find the article, but it appeared about a year ago. PG vapor is introduced into the air through HVAC systems on a regular basis in hospitals to capture airborne particles, bacteria, and viruses. The PG droplets surround the particles and weigh them down to the floor where floor cleaners take them away in the wash water. Hospitals also use PG fog in breathing treatments to carry fog borne medicines into the lungs.
My stats may be off slightly, but a Massachusetts medical college experiment that followed thousands of volunteer vapers over a 5 year period in an evaluation designed to find out whether electronic cigarettes were detrimental to the health of vapers recently published a paper that gave vaping a relative clean bill of health. They found no harmful effects in the vapers who participated and their analysis of our vaper showed all components to be within EPA ranges for daily exposure.
Lots of info here.
Boston University Study Suggests E-Cigs Can Help You Quit | Electronic Cigarette Web
My primary physician is just about as conservative as they come. He's all about getting his patients to quit tobacco cigarettes, pipes, and cigars. When I carried my first ecig into the examining room and showed it to him, he was interested. I told him that I went from 2 PAD to about 6 cigarettes a day my first week, his eyes widened. I demonstrated it at his request and blew a cloud in his direction. When I asked him if he smelled cigarette odor, he told me he really didn't smell anything. Now, when I go in for a checkup (after quitting cigarettes completely a year and a half ago) he asks me if I'm still not smoking. I tell him I haven't even had an urge. His next question is "still using the electronic cigarette?". I say yes and he says good! He's on board completely.

Nope. Never intended to quit smoking but hoped to control it and cut it down.
Vaping is a better alternative to smoking; you have the flexibility to cut down on the nicotine also.
Contrary to quitting vaping what would be nice is to get good stuff that are healthy for vaping

Hell to the nah. When I was smoking, it wasn't my goal to quit smoking. I started vaping because it was before rules were brought up in vaping indoors, but pretty much right when I got my first kit, a lot of places said "no ecigs."
I will quit vaping eventually I'm in no hurry like I was for smokes

I didn't intend to quit smoking, happened by mistake. My sister who owns a Vape shop forced an ego set-up on me, literally. I ran out of cigs late one night, been stinky free ever since! Then the horrible side effects of vaping started up! I started smelling and tasting again, felt a little healthier overall. Didn't smell like an ashtray, wasn't spending $12-16 dollars a day between myself and the fiance. In my eyes... I've already succeeded far beyond my wildest expectataions!

My thoughts exactly! I actually enjoy the sensation of vaping and it has started to become somewhat of a hobby (ok.....addiction!) I don't see myself quitting anytime in the near future.
I started at 36 mg gradually worked my way down to 4 mg a few years ago I have no plans of going down to 0 but hey you never know that may change in the far future
I started to vape in order to quit smoking. I have weened myself off of nicotine down to 6mg. I find myself "craving" my vape less and less as the nicotine went down. I guess my goal now is to go nicotine free. And if I don't need to vape then I want. I like smoke tricks and it's more of a hobby now than a craving.
I quit smoking and started vaping a month ago at 18mg. I was 1 pack a day (completely quit). I've gone from that to 12 mg now and just ordered 8 mg from halo (torque) and no nicotine (curse). I may be vaping for another month or 2 non stop and giving it up after that, but I'll never get rid of my triton. If I need it on a drunk night or w/e, it'll be there. Thank God for e cigs.
