Hmmmm, tough question! My plan now is that I will quit vaping within the year. That of course is tentative! 
Originally, I just wanted something to help me quit smoking analogs. vaping has accomplished that for me. Even so, when I started vaping, it was with the intent of also quitting vaping as some point. However, as I got more and more into vaping, I started investing more and more money on devices, juices, etc. For me, vaping has gotten to be very expensive indeed! At least, I haven't seen the need to get into the high-dollar-all-at-once devices like the Provari, or Z-ATTY lines. I think I'm immune to those items. However, head turner mechanical mods like the Caravela and Mankos are hard to discount totally! Then again, my brother is a machinist, so perhaps I'll hit him up with a project some day!

! I started smoking at the age of 9. One pack every two weeks. By 12, I was up to PAD. For many years, I was 3 PAD, until I had my first heart attack at 26
. Then I cut down to PAD and stayed there, (except when I drank, or got over stressed). At 43, I had over a dozen heart attacks, in one year. I was in the hospital having stints put in, with 3 nicotine patches on, and still sneaked out for a smoke
. Often I would have to take a nitro tablet when I lit up. 
My cardiologist informed me that nicotine constricts the blood vessels. I hated my morning ritual. Every day, I would cough, hack, and spit repeatedly for about an hour, with a couple of nose blows, and a couple of cigarettes in between. I had an aunt, and a step-mother, who smoked 3-5 PAD. Both died of lung cancer. Like them, I knew smoking was killing me, but I could not stop
. I tried everything. Or so I thought. My sister got a cheap gas station analog look alike, and let me try it. I was underwhelmed. A friend with a similar nicotine addiction, also tried them. He couldn't get through an 8 hr. day at work, with only a few cigarette breaks. He got an ego kit to use at work, all day. He assured me that it was better. I went to a local B&M store, where I was allowed to sit in a comfortable environment, and try out different flavors, for over an hour
. I bought my last pack of cigarettes on 1 Mar., 2013. That same day, I got an ego starter kit, with several bottles of juice, and a spare tank. The staff recommended I start with 24 mg. of nicotine. I wanted to be sure to satisfy the urge, so I got 36 mg. of nicotine. Big mistake! I came very close to taking a nitro tablet. I immediately got some 18 mg. juice to dilute my 36 mgs. down to 24. After one week, I bought 18 mgs. and 24 mgs. to get a 21 mg. mix. I may or may not lower it to 18. Right now I'm happy with 21. It's only been one month, but WOW! What a difference. I still cough, hack, and spit, once or twice in the morning, but not for an hour. I can breath! I can taste food! My B&M store is on the second floor. I run up the stairs to get my juice. Who knew I could still run.
, and didn't help with the stress either
). The only real concern, is the amount of nicotine I use, in a short period of time. I was a chain smoker, and now I am a chain vaper. It never occurred to me before, to count the number of puffs on a cigarette. It's 20+ for a 100. I smoked more than one cigarette per hour. I vape 2 or 3 puffs every 10 or 15 min. I don't know how they compare, in the amount of nicotine consumed in a 24 hr. period. I do know I feel better every day. I quit smoking! I don't care if I never quit vaping.
I can live with that. Let me re-phrase that. With that...I can live!
