Scientists Who Pee Plutonium

Agreed on all points - I don't intend to vape long term, I've stepped down from 9mg to 6mg to 3mg nicotine oils over the last three months - and plan to drop the nicotine altogether in a few months, and then quit vaping sometime after.

I'm effectively using it to decouple the physiological and psychological addictions so I can treat them independently of one another.

Hell, it can't be worse than smoking - or for that matter taking a tube ride, or being in an underground car park... Or being in a place with fog machines - propylene glycol too.

Also don't get burnt cotton with this sucker unless you run it totally dry - wick is always wet, and I run with a low wattage.

Tried quitting previously with a little kanga and while it filled the nicotine cravings, I still lusted for the feel of thick smoke - ended up failing. Not even missing cigarettes this time.

Not even really having to think about quitting either, it's just happening.

Vaping was the only way that worked for me. I smoked cigarettes for 20 years and tried patches, nicotine gum, lozenges, and medications. Vaping did it. I worked my way down from 24mg and eventually stopped a few weeks after I had been on 0mg.

I have ZERO desire to ever smoke again. It's been about 4 years now and I'm still not (nor ever plan to be) an asshole ex-smoker telling other people to quit. Cigarette smoke still smells delicious though and I tell smokers when I'm near enough to smell it:)

Good luck. I don't think you'll have a problem.
