The very day I received my 510 starter kit I had my last cigarette. Have'nt look back since. The next step was the removal of nicotine. That process went easy too. Been nic free for 2 months (which lowered my blood pressure). The toughest part of that process was the lack of TH but I got use to it.

So no want for tobacco...no need for nicotine...so why is it so hard to quit vaping/puffing? It might be the ease now with autojuice feed mods with long battery life. So I sold all mine except for the REO which is the best mod ever and now I have to sell that too. :( Maybe the annoyance of a starter 510 batt and clogged attys is my answer....well once my REO is sold then I'll guess I'll find out!

rosesense - I can't speak for Unsure, and from the looks of things I also don't have Unsure's willpower, but I too hope to quit vaping in the near-to-midterm future.

I don't like actively needing a substance in order to function. That is where I'm at with nicotine, and the compulsive addiction of the hand-to-mouth action.

I may also keep a PV around for emergencies, but I would like to be able to function for a week without it. I don't like being so dependent.

It'll probably be a long journey for me... I haven't even *really* started taking down my nic. A little, but not much. My life is absolutely nuts right now and I just can't do it. Right now, I need it.

But I don't want to be that way forever.

Mistress, I would like to be nic free at some point and am just now cutting my nic back too.

I think the equipment involved in vaping makes the dependence more apparent, unlike smoking you can't just pick up a pack if you're out and about so there is a lot more planning involved.

Was nic free for 6 months, disclaimer to follow(loved no nic but wanted to dance with the devil becuase I was never addicted to it), then picked up my nic after the favorite vape seemed to lose its kick.Have only vaped/smoked once or twice a week put know that the vape want is as strong as smokng to me.Everyone is different , I can not have ice cream in the house but a pack of smokes in the house would never entice me for the last 30 years with out an adult beer(not drink).Do what works for you and forget the rest.Ecig/pv takes a good spin for most as it is more enjoyable than smoking.Good luck

I'm glad I'm not the only one who wants to quit EVERYTHING! How did you lower your nic levels? I've been trying to decide how long I want to do each level before I taper down. Would love to hear how you did it.
