I've quit vaping cold turkey for a couple years at a time twice. Ended up getting readdicted when I decided to get really drunk and people were smoking cigs around me. Currently like 2 months into this current relapse and I think I'll try to quit again after this disposable bullshit runs out.

Both times I quit, it required chewing like insane amounts of gum for a couple of months until the intense need went away. I still can't watch someone smoke, even in a tv show, without feeling this clawing need to take an inhale from the back of my throat.

If you're not willing or able to quit cold turkey, might I recommend purchasing a cheap mod that you can refil with your own vape juice and just titrating it down towards zero for a few months?

It worked for me, started at 50mg disposables, moved to a 28mg nic salt mod, dropped to 12 after a month of that. Then I changed to a big girl mod, y'know, a vapebro robocock. I used that with a 6mg fluid, then a 3mg which is the minimum I could find in town. I purchased some 0 nic fluid in the same flavor online and mixed them 50/50, down to 1.5mg. Rinse and repeat 2 weeks later, .75mg, .25, and eventually just straight 0 for a week.

It works, but it requires a bit of discipline, much less than cold turkey though!

when quitting something it’s easy to get stuck in the “this sucks” or “i’m bored” mindset. sure, that’s part of it, but be sure to appraise the good aspects. “i’m not coughing as much”; “i’m saving money”; “i’m less anxious.”

change “it’s only been 6 hours” to “i’m almost through day one. nice”

i just used cigs to get off vapes, can imagine it's hard as shit going cold turkey, things may as well be an IV drip. wishing you luck with it comrade, I've heard that a stim toy for your hand can help because with a vape you're so accustomed to having it to grip onto.

If you have a refillable vape, start lowering your nicotine % over time. I was able to taper off and just eventually quit once I was at 0%.

I was addicted to vape during the Juul days. It was just so easy to buy from nearby 711. So easy to bring to work and smoke outside, without lingering smell of cigs. At one point I was smoking 2 Juul pods a day, which is nicotine intake of 2 cig packs a day. Only managed to "quit" becaue Juul got banned and I moved to vape mods. At one time the addiction became so expensive, and I was so sick of paying for shitty leaky pods where the wick just burnt out and taste horrible I moved onto RDA type vape where you have to make the coil and the wick yourself to save money. The RDA vape was such a lifesaver, because you can't continuously and mindlessly inhale, you have to prep the wire, wet the wick before each inhale. I managed to eventually quit because it was just too much of a hassle. So the lesson is switch to RDA vape, it worked at least for me.

Distillate vapes for weed have done something similar where i used to have to very much plan my discrete getting high at work whereas now i can basically stand in the smoke pit and get ripped next to my boss because i just tell people i vape and I'm so tolerant of it that i take rips that look like vape clouds.

My weed budget has increased by a lot

kick its ass comrade

Generic nicotine losenges and flavored toothpicks. Candy also helps. You are not alone.

That's rough comrade, I'm sorry. Although I wonder if you could create some negative associations through keeping your old vape and hitting it? I bought a pod system and it pretty much just put me off of vaping for a variety of reasons but one was the taste would just be so off randomly and often that I just stopped wanting it

Also i can't imagine what it's like to quit nicotine with such easy delivery systems nowadays. Take my energy
