Success In An Unexpected Way.

[jj2]

It’s been over a year since my last cig. Working on the, “It’s almost a year with no nicotine,” and I just learned something in the last week, and what I learned is that I can do without vaping.

Let me explain. I just got back from my daughters. I took 3 Nicosticks and batteries galore. Two of the NicoSticks never got unpacked because while I was there, I didn’t vape that much. I finally change the battery in the one that I used the day I got home.

It was really weird because there was a couple of days that I just forgot all about it---didn’t vape at all.

Do I plan on quitting?
No.

Why?
Because I like to vape. It’s just a BIG realization that I don’t have that driven need to vape like I had when it came to having a cig when I smoked.

I feel totally great about this.
SO, newbies, if you are having troubles starting your vaping journey, stick with it because it’s worth it.
Ignore that advice if you have problems with allergic reactions.

Great news, JJ!

I also have no intentions of quitting vaping but as others have mentioned on the forums I think it would be easier to quit vaping than smoking.

So I gather while you don't intend to quit vaping you hope to be down to zero nic at some point?

Haven't gotten that far in my thinking but it's only been a month and a half for me and only 3 weeks with no cigs - a far cry from your 1 year+ (congrats!) but I never anticipated quitting smoking when I picked up a PV so maybe someday zero nic is something I too will be striving for.

Best of Luck and Interesting Post - Thanks!

One year is a huge accomplishment and I can understand what you're saying. I'm over 5 months now and there are times when I almost forget to grab my PV not wanting or needing as much nicotine as I used to. I'm using juice that has less than 10mg now (started with 24mg) and still enjoying vaping as much as I did on day one.

I have no intentions of quitting vaping, but I will continue to reduce my nic level as time goes by.

Congrats!

jj2, I agree that it gets easier to go witout a vape as time goes on! I went to the mall with my daughter and didn't vape all day, not even at lunch. I didn't even realize it until we got back in the car! That's when I discovered I had forgotten to put the E-cigs in my purse before going in the mall.
Let me tell you a year ago I would have NEVER forgotten my cig case, let alone go for more then an hour with a smoke.8-o

I vape 11mg during the day and cut back to 8mg or 0nic at night while mindlessly vaping at the computer. For me it's mostly hand to mouth.

I also think that quiting vapeing will be a lot easer then stopping anologs. I started vapeing doing the same actions that I did when smoking. I always went outside to smoke, so I continued doing that for 3 weeks. I now dont go outside so I have broken that habit. Next is to stop vapeing, but I like vapeing much more then anologs. So it will take me time to quit vapeing. Im not in a hurry. Just ordered 500ml of unflavored juice. If I quit before Im done with it I will put it on ECF for free.

Here's to you quitting, Ron!

Yanks, I've been nicotine free since last June.
I sort of rushed getting off of it but had health reasons for doing so.
In most cases, I believe, slowly would probably be better.
