Just a small poll to see who is still addicted to nicotine after switching to vaping and who no longer gets cravings.

I started with 24mg of nic and was able within a year to go down to 3mg nic. I have a high stress job so I'm willing to say I still need the 3mg. If I was able to DIY juice then it would probably be less. At 0mg I do crave the 3mg.
Maybe "The getting and using and finding ways and means to get more."
Maybe simply "an obsession to use." Or "a compulsion to use."
I am. But then, I chew not gum too. Started at 32mg/ml and I'm currently at 18mg/ml.
Having read a good deal about it here, I don't think nicotine was what I was addicted to, it was MAOI drugs in the tobacco put there by BT to keep me addicted to it. I used to think nicotine was a narcotic, which sucked you in and kept you smoking, but actually it is a stimulant, similar to caffeine, which apparently has little or no nefarious addictive properties. There are certain circumstances under which nicotine is beneficial for you.
I started at 24mg and began to dilute it with 6mg. About a month in, I found I could go days at a time without vaping and have no cravings at all. Now I'm just using up the last of the liquid I bought four months ago. When it runs out, I'm done with vaping, too.

Addiction as in the obsession or can't function without it, sell a kidney for 60 ml of juice kind of way.
Easy test to see if nicotine is addictive in vaping would be secretly replace like 100 peoples juice with 0mg and see if they have withdrawal symptoms. After like a month maybee, a week seems to short for a proper test.

The day I get to around zero nic is the day I ALSO quit the ELECTRONIC cigarette. Or whatever Politically Correct term we are using for it.
I think that I have come to the conclusion that my body and or mind wants or at least enjoys to be stimulated. Be it coffee, chocolate, nicotine, or light exercise (walking). Dunno? Addiction to being stimulated? Maybe.
I'm the same way, but since "addiction" is so difficult to define, I like your first assessment, you enjoy nicotine, as do I. I quit smoking 20 years ago because I didn't want to die. Now I can enjoy nicotine, with much less risk (none?). Also, I have no intention to stop vaping. My nicotine level is at 6mg, the level that I enjoy. Not to mention the promising research that nicotine may slow the horrific disease known as Alzheimers. (it runs in my family)
Interesting, I quit 13 years ago and I use 6mg as well. We are two peas in a pod!
Yeah this wasn't a off nic completely poll, just a not like smoking where you would probably stab somone for a cig if you were out for 12 hours without any haha
There is a difference between addiction and dependence.
In other words, many of us vapers (but not all of us) have nicotine dependency, but are not necessarily addicted to nic.
Well said. Vaping hasn't hurt anyone in my circles, but has been known to impact the wallet on occasion, but so does the Wife.
I'm going to assume that there will be a lot of people saying "yes" in this poll who actually aren't addicted to nicotine anymore (if they ever were) but still think they are, and probably will continue to think they are for quite some time.

The problem with that is nicotine has a flavor and TH so you would most likely know if you were not vaping it. I know I do, but there is a minimum limit under which I can't tell. Where that limit is depends on the hardware and power I vape at.
