Just curious...

Does anyone plan to shop vaping?

Was this just a method to stop smoking or something you will do indefinitely?

I initially started vaping to stop smoking, but now seems I am addicted to vaping. Not a bad thing, imo.

 

[JenJen]

I'm with you! I feel better, I smell better, I enjoy vaping. No plans to stop in the near future anyway...

 

[bornagainst]

I think it all depends.

For me personally, I never wanted to quit smoking, as I just loved to smoke. Now that love has transferred to vaping.

However, now that I have been hanging around awhile, the reduction of nic levels is doable. If I can bring myself down to a reasonable nic level (say, 8), that's the victory I am going for now.

Baby steps.

JenJen could not have said it better, the same for me.

 

[lonercom]

down from 36 to 8 now but not making plans to totally quit.

 

[thelook]

Nope! I have no plans at all, hubs quit for 3 days last week and he is back at it, of course with a lower nic.
I know that I am no where ready so I will not set myself up for a fail.

Ive gone down to 12mg.I started at 36 and 24mg.Im pretty happy with that for a while.

Does anyone plan to shop vaping?

Lately, I can't seem to do anything but SHOP for vaping. heheh

But as far as stopping - which I realize is the real question - my plan is to stop eventually. Probably. I guess. Ideally... Idunno, I have no plans to do that anytime soon, but I'm only a couple months in.

vaping is everything I ever loved about smoking without the smell and stigma. I vape mostly 0 mg nic with a 4 mg thrown in every now and again. I have no desire to quit...evah! lol

I didn't have any plans to stop vaping and really still don't. But, I've been on 0 nic for a couple of months and I think I could stop. I only use my PV a few times a day now and only for a few puffs each time. If I leave my house without my PV I don't really worry about it. I go hours without touching it.

Lair, I am the same way...no panicing if I haven't had a vape for a while or if I leave them home! I do notice if I am around non smoking and non vaping friends..I have no urge to vape at all! But at home with a smoker, yeah, I vape.
I do have the urge to vape when I drive and when I am at the computer. It's more a hand to mouth thing..I vape and not snack!
My goal was to quit vaping at the 6 month mark..failed that! Here I sit at 16 months analog free, still vaping from 11mg to 0nic.
I do have hopes of stopping. But as Born said..baby steps!

 

[lookin2quit]

Ideally, I'd love to be able to stop vaping at some point. But, since I've still been "falling off the wagon" when it comes to analogs, I think that day will be a long time coming. At least, as far as we know right now, vaping is a far healthier alternative, so I won't mind if it takes me a while.

 

[plantlvr]

I was like Born, I loved to smoke and never thought I would or could quit. Now with vaping I love it even more than I ever did smoking, so I don't see myself quitting any time soon.

 

[terrie1]

I love that I can vape almost anywhere, so Im not stopping for a good long while.

 

[susieque]

i would diffently one day would like to put it down.... i'm on 6 -4- 0 nic. so i'm hoping that one day i will walk away from it... but vaping has been a godsend for me... lair and md good for you - wtg in your progress....

I smoked for 29 years and tried to quit so many times I can't even count. I loved smoking, but I hated how it made me feel. I really love my nicotine, it helps me keep an even keel emotionally. The last time I TRIED to quit smoking (before vaping), I sank into a scary depression. Don't wanna EVER do that again. I haven't had a single cig in over a month now and I'm doing great! I'm vaping at 24-36 and I don't have any plans to lower that and I certainly have no plans to ever stop vaping.

 

[sooperdrave]

ill vape till i die.

 

[GiMante]

I also never thought I would stop smoking.
No plans here to stop vaping. I'm at 36mg, hopefully I'll get that lowered, a little. Like they said before me, baby steps!

 

[tekmnky]

Yes, I plan to quit vaping when I can comfortably handle 0 nic for a couple of months, but that's a long way off at this point. I started vaping a little over two weeks ago and have stepped down from 24 mg to 18/14mg and I'm happy with that right now. After smoking for 38 years I think it's going to take at least 12-18 months to get down to 0, if then! As said in other posts, baby steps.

 

[krazie_Kid]

I can not quit, I get very angry and ....... I am right now cause I have not puffed on it in hours, getting off here for an hr vaping session so I can relax, night all.
