Will you vape forever???

[Idahojo]

I agree with Rob. I'm using this to get off the analogs & hopefully get off cigs totally. Problem is I ENJOY this habit, real or ecig. I'm still smoking analogs but not near as much as I was. I don't have enough ecig equipment yet to quit analogs totally but as soon as I do I'm getting off the analogs. But the way I see it, it's healthier than analogs so if I don't quit vaping I'm still ahead of the game.

life's too hard to live sober!

to all those who think they will quit vaping after vaping zero liquid for a while....

well, i thought that too but it won't work.

the addiction is not only nicotine,it's the hole process of putting something feelable in your lungs other than air..... so it will need almost as much willpower as quitting analogs (cold turkey).

...sorry to burst your bubble....

There is a chance I may move over to zero nic some day but I don't think I will ever stop vaping. It's a pass time for me and a great way to relax.

I LIKE to smoke - always did. My only reason for vaping is to get away from tobacco. I've done that (well, 99%) and don't intend to stop vaping.

 

[D_Struct]

I have full intentions to move down to 0 nic within a year or so. I'm not placing any strict deadlines on myself.

I might not always be using nicotine, but I truly do love the act of smoking. It centers me.

Provided these things get approval, I can see myself continuing to use them well into the future.

They will have to take my e-kit from my cold dead hands...and that's not a comment on the content of e-liquid...

 

[Vicks Vap-oh-Yeah]

I just started vaping this week - but I'm lovin' it!(sorry, direct McDonald's quote just slipped in!)

I figure I'll eventually drop to the 0 nic liquid - but it's the habit - the oral fixation, the draw, the inhale, the exhale....the entire ritual that I'm addicted to.



Last analog: 03.10.09 at 03:10:09 (just guessing about the seconds...)

I will most likely vape forever, although I suspect I'll basically be vaping 0 nic the vast majority of the time (if not completely).

It's funny . . . my husband had assumed that I'd be eliminating analogs (which I did), reducing my nicotine intake (which I am), eventually moving completely to no nic (not there yet and in no hurry), and then ultimately giving up vaping entirely. Huh?

I quickly disabused him of that one. I KNOW that for me, the habit itself is a huge component of my addiction. I ENJOY inhaling. So, yes, even with the jury still out on the safety aspects of vaping, I still have no plans of quitting vaping.

Awww, bubble bursted 8-o - that was my plan...LOL
I didn't think I could quit analogs the 1st day with my mini, but I did with medium juice...planning on cutting back slowly and even if I have to stay at zero liquid forever, so be it. Far healthier than 2-3 packs a day that I was doing!

Can't see myself ever not vaping. I smoked for 40 years and finally stopped putting tobacco in my lungs around January. Love the nicotine but very happy not having to deal with tobacco. I actually prefer vaping to smoking and have to be sure I don't run out of anything so I never have to light up again.

I keep getting "Great, you quit smoking, when will you quit e-cigs?" I give them the same answer I did when they asked me about quitting smoking..."I'll quit about halfway through the heart attack that kills me."

Until I found vaping, I never intended to quit smoking. Every time I tried, I failed. I enjoyed smoking. I liked it. It was killing me, I couldn't breathe, but I still enjoyed it.

Now I've found a way to get that same enjoyment with something that doesn't make me wake up in the middle of the night coughing and gasping for air. Why should I quit?

If it's found out that vaping is really bad for us, and I'm talking as bad as analogs or worse, then I guess I will have to quit. But until then, I am thinking I'll stick with it.

You can click on anyone's banner and that will take you to the site where you can get one.

 

[chief druid]

hahah i know its a bit off topic but what do i do once i've created the banner i've tried a few times and it gives me a couple of codes ?!?!?! where do i put the codes ???

i will possibly give up vapeing ... about the time i stop buying all thses different starter kits lol

 

[Programmer]

where do i put the codes ???

You paste the banner code in your signature. I think they give you two sets of code, if I remember correctly. You want to use the bbcode/sig version.

 

[rivlez]

The first day I got my e-cig(PeeWee) I stopped smoking analogs and haven't even thought about it. I think it would be disgusting to smoke an analog at this time. Hopefully one day I can give up vaping also.

 

[LuckySevens4U]

I'm still waiting for my first e cig, but I cannot WAIT to get off the cigs and this is the only thing that I think will work for me as the first step of totally getting off nicotine. One step at a time!

I enjoy vaping as much as anybody. I was a 3ppd analog smoker for nearly 40 yrs and haven't had one this year. YAY!!

I disagree with parapo, (sorry) I believe if the desire is there, it is possible. I also believe that if you've tapered down to 0 nic it will much easier to quit without the "cold turkey" feelings of quitting analogs because you have weined yourself from nicotine. I'm not saying it will be easy, but surely much easier because you're only dealing with the habit minus the addiction. Again, the desire to do so has to be there.

Good luck to all regardless what your goals may be.

 

[Zaxx]

Like many, I enjoy the process of smoking (blowing rings etc.) Even if the ban goes through, I'll figure a way to keep it going. I really want to stay off of the analogs.

 

[snap6cat]

I have been addicted to nicotine for my entire life, and before because my mother smoked constantly before I was born. My parents smoked EVERYBODY smoked. I just prefer vapors now. I am still new to this (as most of us are) and time will tell.
