Been vaping for 6 months now. Never really posted before but just read other posts and it really helped me while i was starting off, so thank you. When I started my intention was to cut my nic down and eventually quit. I have cut nic down from 28 to 18, wich i'm happy about. I guess my question is. has anyone really quit vaping, or just consider it a switch for now?
Just saying thanks, and a quick question

Welcome to ECF and congrats. I don't plan on quiting vaping just smoking and it's been over a year since I had a cig.
I just started myself and I quit analogs immediately. From past experience with other methods that obviously failed, I plan on cutting down the nic all the way to zero but very very slowly, it will take more than a year for sure. Getting too anxious to cut it down might make you slip back to analogs and I'm not going to risk it.
If you continue to vape, and make it down to 0 nic, then what does it really matter int eh end anyway? As long as you are off the analogs, that's what counts, IMO.
I plan to lower my nicotine level. Lately I started vaping more than I smoked so I have been stocking up on 12mg juices instead of 18mg, with some yummy flavors I can't wait to vape plus 12mg versions of my current faves. I do hope eventually to get to 6mg or even 0 nic. I hope eventually that vaping will become more like snacking and not a gnawing habit like nicotine addiction.
I think vaping will make it easier for me to go to lower nicotine. I smoked Marlboros decades ago but had worked my way down to really low nicotine cigs. Problem was they cost 50% more than higher nicotine cigarettes and it got to where I could no longer afford my low nicotine faves at over $64 per carton. I was forced to go to harsher cigs with 2x the nicotine that were $45 per carton and that is one reason I am vary happy to be vaping instead.

I've been off the analogs for about 6 months, still addicted to the nic, so don't intend to stop vaping anytime soon.
Cut back to 24-28mg from when I started, when I needed 30-36mg juice to kill the craving, but not reducing it any more right now.

I think we are all kidding ourselves, if we don't admit that ideally the best scenario is that in the end we stop vaping too! I know that's my intentions in the not too distant future!
I'll be giving up the nicotine, but first I need to eliminate all the alcohol from my beer and wine, caffeine from my coffee and tea, and capsasin from my curry and chili, and the....... then again it may not be very soon.
I gave some serious work to cutting the nic level also. Since I mix most of my own juice, and got it down to 3mg/ml at one point. Problem was the TH was pretty much gone at that level using 100% VG.
Im not gonna worry about quiting vaping or cutting down right now, my goal is to get off the analogs.
