Quitting

[Loco]

After hours of hassling with cart mods, spending lots of money on buying new atomizers to replace old ones, and maintenance while still having a mediocre vaping experience (very inconsistent, to say the least), I am giving up on ecigs, and stopping nicotine use altogether. The time and money I'm using for this could be used more constructively.

If I sound frustrated and ...... off its because I am. Nicotine withdrawals suck, but they're doable. I'm not dying, just really uncomfortable.

I will be selling all of my stuff and posting it in the appropriate forum. All interested buyers go there!

Thanks for the short (but enjoyable) times, best of luck to you all!

Good luck with quitting

Nicotine was'nt an issue with me even after 25 years of a pack a day. Puffing was....till ecigs came into my life. The day I got it is the last day I quit cigarettes. Been 3 months now and I only use 0mg liquid (never missed the nicotine). Quitting vaping for me wont be as easy......gotta puff....

Sorry you have had such a rough time making the e-cigs work for you.
It is a hazzle when the carts leak, the vapor doesn't happen, the mods let us down, and the nic drive is not fulfilled.
Maybe you'd share more specifics about what PV's you are using and some suggestions could be offered from other ECFers that had some similar challenges and discovered ways to overcome them.
Cold turkey is done all the time with success and I am finding vaping has certainly taken the edge off the entire process of letting go of nic and smokes with a permanent satisfaction and no lingering mad desire for an analog.

I saw your stash for sale...good luck quitting! Even your stash sounds complicated....

I understand the frustrations

I too went through a stage when its was all a bit fiddly and days of unsatisfying vaping
Some days it would work and others not, my hands were always sticky, I seemed to always be having to do something, mixing, cleaning, charging, etc

I have now solved all my problems, and have a consistent daily vap
Good vapor, no mess, no cleaning, no leaking etc
Here's what works for me

I make my own menthol juice at about 20mg, I make it up 5ml at a time as needed
I use an AdapteveR ecig/mod at 6v
I have 3 sets of batteries, 1 set in the ecig, 1 set in the charger at home, and 1 set in the charger at work
I do not use carts, I drip, its sooo much less messy, and it never gets in my mouth, I don't have to carry around paper towels like I used to
I dont clean my atomisers anymore either, every time I did they broke,

I wish you well in whatever you choose to do, hope its not going back to cigarettes

I hit that wall a couple of weeks ago, but finally found two flavors to stick with and got into a routine that was very low maintenance.

There was definitely days before that where the hassle of trying flavors and refilling techniques was just a pain.

Good luck on quitting though.

Milder ones than quitting smoking, but similar symptoms if your nic level was fairly high (24mg+). Many people who quit using ecig, keep their nic levels managed with Snus or snuff, both of which you dont smoke or combust in any way, and are better than nic gum or patches imo.
You can cold turkey quit but why should you when you can step down your nic habit slowly? If you were on very low nic the only thing you would miss would be the hand to mouth addiction; you might find you eat more.

To the OP - good luck and fair weather!
