Really doesn't matter what anyone else thinks it's none of their business live your life in the way that works best for you and sod the rest of the world. Forums have gone from a place to chat with like minded people and enthuse about a common interest to places of groups each thinking they are superior to each other and looking down at anything that isn't their way. They are a joke really are and they just haven't realised it yet and then there is the emerging group of shame merchants there really aren't polite words for them so we'll leave it at that. You don't have to pay any attention to what anyone says about you it's just words spoken or typed and likely has an agenda anyway, you've cut down on the ciggies so vaping is working for you just not all the way and that's fine everyone's journey is different and yours is no less right then anyone else's.
Chuck try a higher PG level and if that doesn't work opposite end higher VG try both at around 70% if you know anyone near you that does diy liquid be the quickest cheapest way to find out.
Took me over 2.5 years to stop (37 year habits don't just go away like that) and operated a lot like the op. I don't think of myself as a non-smoker yet and would never judge like that.
Especially if you don't want to quit. Every cigarette you don't smoke is a huge plus to your health, and every one you do smoke probably tastes great, lol.
But I'm glad I've been able to stop. Finally. For now anyway.
I don't understand what your trying to say , it's no big deal , what i said is only my personal opinion , i don't speak for others.
Clearly a misunderstanding
Just meant that people vape for all sorts of reasons. Some vape to quit smoking, some so they don't go back to smoking, some to cut down on how much they smoke, some never smoked to begin with but would rather vape than start smoking. All valid reasons, and I'm sure there are more.
Okay, who is judging who?
I certainly have no problem with you working things out at your pace.
I hope you have no problem with me switching instantly? I had my reasons, just like you have yours and they are no one else concern.
By the way, I was a mid/heavy 45 yr. smoker......... Health/Family were my strength.

I'd say you're doing damn good, from 2.5 packs to one is a hell of an achievement. Those damn things are addicting as ...... for some folks. I bet in the next year you'll be posting your down to zero smokes.
Have you tried to up the nicotine a LOT?....that was the only way I could cut the smokes. 24-36 mg nic will make hair grow where it never grew in the past...
Well congrats for cutting back on cigs, even though that wasn't your intention
And even if you hadn't that would have been fine by me, too. Although for me smoking would be hard to do on top of vaping - I'd have a nicotine overload lol. But hey! As long as you are happy. This is a vaping forum, not an exclusively vaping-to-quit-smoking forum.
Congrats on going back from 2 and a half to a pack or so a day! I know that's not easy even with an alternative. Personally I still smoke hookah every week. Something about the smoke makes me keep doing it but vaping has definitely gotten me off smoking so much

I agree. This is supposed to be to help you vape optimally and share experiences.
I have enjoyed a lot of support in my quest to stop smoking though. But I really wanted to stop for my own reasons - not somebody else's.

Everybody quits in their own time frame, but cutting back is a great start. I started the same way. And one day you'll fly your Banner as well; but when your ready. For now take each one less as a victory toward the overall Win on the War. Keep it up; You got this
Some people don't want to quit, and there's nothing wrong with that either.
Be who you are, and don't worry about the opinions of strangers on the internet

No no no no no no no! We must have conformity. While what you said looks good on paper, you can't have people running around all higgledy piggeldy doing whatever and whenever they want. That's how you end up like with things like the French or the Kardashians ... or a secretary of state presidential candidate sending out top secret emails on a private unsecure server, jeopardizing the rest of the country.
I still have a cig or two if really stressed or drunk and stressed. maybr once or twice a month. Otherwise in a normal mood with a sub ohm 30W set up with really delicious e-liquids, smoking isn't even nowhere near as enjoyable, I see no point to it whatever, when it's not as good as sub ohming a gourmet high VG juice and I know from 26 years of experience, will make my body feel like crap.
When I first started higher wattage vaping, I probably cut down 50/50 that was when I was using tobacco liquids to try and replicate as close to cigarette smoke as possible.
But then when I noticed which juices really worked for me, real tasty gourmet ones that sub ohming them at 30W was like smoking some sort of super luxury pipe tobacco or magic cigar with amazing flavours like creme brule or strawberry cookies, or moist cinnamon muffin with burnt sugar, and without any bad health effects, the lethargy, the high BP, general feeling of crap - I found it so much more pleasurable, I felt there was literally no point in picking up a cig.
After sub ohming good juice, you light a cig and can barely taste it and you feel frustrated that there is not 'enough vapour.' LOl.
Anyhow each to their own and progress rather than perfection, as others have said the less you smoke the more you 'win.'

I don't know what's worse, using a vaping forum to force your political views on people or using the phrase "higgledy piggeldy" in a sentence.
Wait till you get invited to HauntedMyst's political retraining death camp....err I mean happy fun time we have balloons camp. You'll be wishing you were French or a Kardashian.
