Nope, I have to have at least one vice lol. Nicotine relaxes me and has been part of my life for some time now. I just see no reason to lower and eliminate it.
I'd rather just keep vaping.
Stopping that to, gives a better chance of getting back to stinkies, and I DON'T WANT THAT...
So vaping is here to stay

I reduced my Nic to 12 but I go back and fourth between 12 and 18 but Im pretty happy there no desire at this time to change anything.
Good for you! You are doing well.
I started at 24 mg nic and have gradually been reducing the level. I'm now mostly at 0 mg. Still have a few juices left in 3 mg. Seems I don't vape as much now, either. I often will go run an errand and not even care about taking my ecigs. At work, I don't feel the need to go to the "smoking" area nearly as much. When at home, I still vape quite a bit. I do hope to taper off from vaping even further. I don't know if I will totally quit vaping. I will always want to have it available, in case I'm ever tempted to smoke again. I quit smoking for 8 or 9 years and then one day started back up. Wish ecigs had been around at that time - it could have very easily scratched that itch.
I have no plans on quitting vaping. If in the future it's shown to be harmful, then I'll quit.
At this point, I have no intention of quitting vaping but I may end up cutting my nic down eventually. There's just too much variety and great tasting juices to give it up!

I have been happily vaping 0-nic juices for almost 18 months. Its definitely the hand-to-mouth thing that is very comforting to me - plus I just love to vape! I have no intention of quitting vaping...
in my previous experience with vaping i did quit. I came back to vaping after a life expirence was too stressful and i picked up analogs again for about 6 months. I came back to vaping to get off the stinkies.
once i reached 0mg (took about 4 months ish from 18mg) i started to forget to grab my PV when i left for work etc..after a week or so of forgetting i said to myself hell if i forget all the time i really dont need it. I then sold it to a bud to help him quit.

For me, one step at a time.
Vaping from this point onward until I'm sure t-cigs will never be on the radar again. Then I'll plan the next step, but in due time I'll be done with vaping too. Maybe I'll nic-gum/nic-patch/snu it down another step before quitting altogether. Gradually cutting back, be it Cigs or Vapes won't work for me, and at some point down the road a smaller Cold Turkey step will have to be taken.

Eventually yes .. but not anytime soon. I find I enjoy vaping *more* than I enjoyed smoking. It tastes better, smells better (and a lot less), it feels better for my lungs - and I get the same satisfaction and enjoyment that I did from real cigarettes (after small adjustment period, of course).
I was cursing myself everytime I bought a new pack of smokes or lit up. I felt like a fool for not being able to give up something so damaging to my health, appearance and personal smell. While I think that not vaping is healthier than vaping, I personally feel and believe that vaping is less damaging to my health than smoking to the point where it reduces the urgency to stop. At some point, though, I will use vaping to step down my nic and quit for good.

I would love to quit everything but smoked for 40 years and was never able to quit that until I began vaping. I have reduced my nicotine to 12 mg (from 18) and I will get to 6...we will see what happens after that. If my choices are vaping or smoking I damned sure choose vaping, I can breath for the 1st time in many years. How was that for a non answer?
i'm sure i'll get there eventually.
that was my big plan all along.
but.. for right now.. i'm really enjoying it.

started at 24 then 16 now I'm at a mix of 11 and 6mg. I would eventually like to cap it at 3-6mg possibly going to 0mg but we'll see
Hey Jimmy -- just want to share with you my reduction of nicotine. Started at 18mg over a year ago and slowly reduced it to 6mg (reduction of 3mg each time in the beginning and then 2mg once it got lower). About 3 weeks ago I went from 6mg to 4mg and I am struggling with it in that I am vaping more juice that I have in the past. I think the reason for this is because this last step down was by 33%, which is a lot. Keep in mind that if you step down from 6mg to 3mg, that is a 50% step down!
Good luck to you with whatever you decide!
