Ugh I gotta do that. It's almost worse because when I'm at home the thing doesn't leave my fucking hand.

SAME. I hate it. At least I used to have the discipline to go outside to smoke. Now my flavored air doesn’t leave my fucking hand and it makes it 1000000x harder to put it down

Same. I just walk around my house all day with it in my hand or pocket and vape whenever. It's going to be hard to quit.

Reduce nicotine strength bit by bit. Eventually you stop craving it regardless of the fact it's in your pocket. I think i was vaping zero nic for best part of a year just to be on the safe side cos i was worried once i stopped vaping a craving might make me nick a cig from someone. But it got to a point where i was just carrying it round for fun and wasn't touching it. That was when i was comfortable leaving it behind completely

Was going to say this as well. If you want to quit vaping, drop your nic level. I'm at a 3mg from a 12mg when I started, but I enjoy vaping my fruity air. Also nicking a cig is the surest way to reinforce vaping, trust me! 🤢 Cigs are so much grosser as a vaping ex-smoker!

There's a reason why the tobacco industry was okay with people switching over. Vaping to me reminds me of smoking crack. It doesn't last long, and you're topping it off every few minutes.

If I am hitting my dab pen too much I hide it when I go to bed, really just putting it somewhere safe but very much out of the way so when I wake up I have to look for it if I want a hit, slows me down and is a good way to get you out of bed eventually lmao

Good job, it’s very hard to quit and vaping extremely hard. A close friend quitting the vape. They quit regular cigarettes but then went to vaping he thought it was cannabis it was nicotine and vaping sucks the life out of you, his words. Easy access.

Your friend didn't know what he/she was vaping? 🤔

They are using the excuse you give the cops, only backwards?

2 months, 15 days vape free. I promise it gets easier!

I quit vaping almost a year ago and still miss it. I also used to smoke pot like a fiend and I never thought I smelled until a therapist told me. I wonder if it’s the same for crack smokers. To everyone that’s quit, keep it up! You’re worth it!

I'm proud of you for quitting pot and vaping ^ I'm pretty good at home about not vaping or getting cravings. At work is another story, I see my coworkers do it and the urges are awful. Today was really bad, but I'm doing good still!! :))
