Vape vs Smokeless Tabacco?

Welcome.
Research seems to indicate both methods are much less harmful than smoking. Pick your poison.
Are you vaping to quit smokeless tobacco? Vape until you feel satisfied. Nicotine is a self titrating drug. You will know when you have had enough.
Have fun

While idk much on the subject it's just a substitution as you did analogs to smokeless. So I think if you try and dabble in it you might just find you're able to switch. I think just like analog smokers it might be difficult but it'll taste better!
I wasn't "totally" looking to quit smokeless, I got the first, just to try it.
However I have realized I have only had 1 lipfull on my second day of vaping, prolly 2-2.5 weeks ago. Pleasant side effect I guess.
I like "smoking" more than spitting. Just looking for some empirical to present to the wife.

I was a smoker and used Camel Snus while at work or nerding on the computer (I didn't smoke inside). Every since I started vaping, the urge to use the snus has decreased a ton. I still use it occasionally but not nearly as much as I had before vaping.
I don't have my notes with me to give good links, but my understanding is that safer vaping (lower voltages, limited-to-no flavorings and definitely not organic ones) is probably better for anyone who doesn't have compromised pulmonary (lung) function. Rolygate has a good writeup on the site, but not sure if he has links in it.
I recently finished my last can of dip (Grizz Green) about two weeks ago after I found that vaping 18 mg juice satisfied my nic cravings. I've been a vaper since this past May, but it wasn't until I got into the 18 mg juice that I got the idea that I could quit the dip. Granted, I still use snus for the time being and I only put 1 dip in most days when I dipped, but vaping has made it easy for me to quit the dip! Good luck to you!

I was dipping 2-3 cans a day since I was 16 of Copenhagen Long Cut and Mint when I was able to get my hands on it. I have 2 cans of unopened Copenhagen mint in my drawer still. The day after I started vaping back in March I haven't touched the stuff. I rolled my own cigarettes as well, but dip was my main priority for 6 years.
I quit dipping using the herbal snuff back in July. This was after 35+ years. However, it didn't stick and I was back on Camel snus in late October. I kept that up until December and then started vaping. I think that the vaping has satisfied both my nicotine addiction and my oral habit. Its working quite well right now.
I have dipped since I was 16 and after 3 years of that, vamping has definitely help satisfy the oral habit and the nic as well. Also building coils and stuff helps with the boredom that I would often solve with smokeless tobacco.

Hey mates just to be clear, by smokeless tobacco I assumed (and think) the OP meant snus, not dipping -- dipping can have really adverse oral health effects.
I dipped for about 20 years, on and off. Quit the day I bought my first vape, and it's been over a year now without touching it.. Threw away my last two cans of unopened Griz. about a month ago. No nic cravings at all...though it did take about 3-4 days to get over "itchy lip syndrome."
Kurr, good to see I'm not the only ex-dipper on here. I went from a can or more a day of Grizzly Wintergreen to vaping about a year ago and I couldn't be happier. No more worrying about the spit, no more smelling 6 month old spitters you found under the back seat of your truck when you're desperate to spit in something, no more worn out back pockets, no more .... taste in my mouth, better oral hygiene, my girlfriend doesn't hate it, and if you can keep from splurging on new .... all the time (which I can't), it's a lot cheaper. Also, now I can get a nicotine fix in without taking 30 minutes. Good luck!
