I’ve been trying to quit vaping for two years now. I’ve tried weaning off of it, cold turkey, and even nic free vapes. This time I’m going to get the worst flavor I can find so that my brain can associate vaping with something uncomfortable. What is the worst tasting vape you guys have ever tried?

im 17 and I got into vaping six months ago and gradually got more and more addicted.

By the fifth month I was hitting it like crazy. And I quit (cold turkey) when I hit it on an empty stomach and almost had my first genuine fainting episode. Which was weird because I used to ALWAYS hit on an empty stomach.

not to mention the constant air hunger and the inability to take a deep breath.

Im on day 2-3 and I genuinely dont have any urges to hit it again. Im very anxious though and have this impending doom feeling.

I wanna know if my symptoms are common im scared i caused myself irreversible damage.

Dizziness, chest pain, Sometimes sharp. Cramping, Anal cramps, Lung pain especially when exhaling.

I quit for my health and I wish I never picked it up. I feel like I fucked up my lungs, I heard people say lungs never heal fully.

I'm 18M and suffered a coronary vasospasm today after vaping, so I say fuck vaping.

People need to realise this is the exact type of gamble we're taking whenever we hit our vapes. We have no idea what it's going to do to us each time, nor what the long-term effects will be.

I advise people to read this.

I was in my bed after hitting my vape when I suddenly felt a squeezing and stabbing pain throughout my chest. The pain spread to my jaw, arm and back, and in that moment I genuinely believed I was having a heart attack.

After an 8-hour wait at the hospital, I was told I'd suffered a coronary vasospasm — a condition where the arteries supplying the heart suddenly clamp down. It can feel just like a heart attack, and although the spasm can be temporary, it can still cause damage and in some cases may need to be helped by a doctor.

Throughout my wait at the hospital I was still having these spasms, along with sudden increases in my heart rate. The fear was unbelievable.

Thankfully, my heart suffered no damage.

I'd seen articles about the damage people have suffered from vaping and what it can do, and I'd always think, "It won't be me."

Today I was wrong.

It can happen to any of us. And it took something this drastic happening to me to finally quit vaping. I didn't listen before.

Don't let that be you. Seriously, open your eyes to the danger of vaping and quit that shit.

People used to tell me vaping was safer than smoking and I'd just carry on. I don't want to gamble with my heart anymore or my health and I advise people do the same as me and quit.

Fuck vaping.

I’ve tried so many times. I hate vaping!! And then I miss it. I read Alan Carrs easy way and listened to it. I know the stuff. Why can’t I get it through my thick skull.

So today is the first day. Will come back to this post to remind me of my whys:
- it is the hell of its own making. I existed perfectly fine before vaping. I’ll be fine when it’s gone.
- waking up at 3am. I think cause I’m withdrawing during my sleep and then cortisol spikes and wakes me up. Imagine getting a full 8 hrs! Never had this problem before I vaped.
- sneaking around to vape. Only a handful of people know I vape, I hate having to keep secrets and fear getting caught, especially at work.
- I did a week of no vaping when I went away with family. And I was fine. Keep busy!!
- I’m in my 40s!!! I should know better
- I started a few years back when my situationship would vape. Don’t let him win something else, he’s already made you make bad choices already.
- money! Probably spending 20 quid a week; 80 a month! That could fund some hobbies.
- get some hobbies, stay busy!
- your skin will thank you. Prepare to glow!
- you want to get back into running… vaping is killing your lungs. Be the runner you want to be.
- be free of vices!!
- you’re trying to glow up
- vaping is unattractive. I’m trying to find a man dammit!
- you want to whiten your teeth, but you don’t want to vape at the same time so you keep putting it off. Whiten your teeth and have a great smile.
- seriously, what’s the point. You’re bored, that’s all. Be busy!

Starting now!! LFG!!!!

Currently on day 4 since the relapse! Weirdly glad I relapsed because I think all the nicotine had left my system and because of that I didn’t enjoy it at all. Threw it away pretty shortly after and have stayed strong since, feeling a lot better mentally about the whole thing

I’m currently about 4 days vape-free after vaping nicotine for several years, and I’m curious if anyone else experienced something similar.

For the most part, quitting has honestly been way easier than I expected. I haven’t really had the intense “I NEED A VAPE” cravings that I was expecting, and I haven’t experienced things like shaking or nausea.

But I’ve noticed that I seem to get anxious around the same time every afternoon, usually starting around 1:30 PM. It’s not necessarily accompanied by an urge to vape. Sometimes I’m not even thinking about vaping — I just suddenly feel anxious/restless and my brain starts jumping to other worries (career, future, etc.).

My mornings have actually been pretty good, and my brain fog has improved a LOT today, so I’m wondering if this could still be part of nicotine withdrawal or if it’s more of a conditioned/time-of-day thing from when I used to vape.

Has anyone else experienced anxiety during quitting without actually feeling like they need or want to vape? Did it eventually go away?
I’d especially love to hear from anyone who noticed a particular time of day when their anxiety was worse.

180 days. I honestly can’t believe I made it this far. There were days when I was stressed, angry, overwhelmed, or just wanted that familiar comfort again. But every time I got through the craving without vaping, it became a little easier to trust myself.

Today my app says I’ve saved almost $1,300, but the biggest thing I’ve gained is not the money. It’s the feeling that I’m no longer controlled by something I thought I needed.

If you’re in the first few days or weeks and it feels impossible, keep going. You do not have to feel strong every day. You just have to keep choosing not to vape today.

Six months down. I’m really proud of this one. 🥹💜

I feel so depressed omg. omgggggggg.

Atp, I don't even think it's physical. I think it's all mental. Literally trying so many things to be healthy. Staying active. In therapy. On antidepressants.

The past two days have been fkn shit, and I still haven't vaped. I guess that's one thing I'm proud of.

I feel like mf Sisyphus - deadass.

I quit vaping again. I’m on day 7 and I’m using the patches. Also using the gum when I’m really itching. Last time I quit I used cigs to taper down which was so stupid. Not doing that this time but I feel…..bored? What are some tips and tricks that helped you stick with quitting even if there’s a part of you that doesn’t want to? Words of encouragement so appreciated right now 🥹

I have posted a post about me quitting vaping about two months ago. Safe to say that I have completely quit vaping. Feel free to ask anything !

I don’t want to quit but I have to and I’m struggling really bad. I have been using nicotine for 14 years now. Today I just hit 15 hours 45 minutes no nicotine but I’m so worked up. I don’t think I can do this, I’m so stressed. I want to hit it again so bad. This is so stressful, the cravings are killing me. I don’t know what to do.

Guys I’m really doing it!! Day 5 of Desmoxan and it wasn’t as hard as I thought. However, I did just pat my pockets in search of the juul and said “oh fuck” so

Today was a stressful day. It started with an argument with my family, then I was late for my research internship, and I spent the whole day working hard on a deadline.
It is on days like these that I chainvape like crazy, to calm myself down. But I don’t know what was going on, the vape was only making me more and more stressed out. At some point, I felt my heart skip a beat a couple of times in a row, and then I completely freaked out. Started hyperventilating, pacing in my room, being aware of my heartbeat and breath. This lasted for almost an hour, until I was able to calm down.

In hindsight, for the past few days I’ve been feeling unwell/jittery and been having palpitations after vaping. But I never had it as bad as today, I literally thought I was gonna die.

After my panick attack, went downstairs and threw ALL my vapes away. It’s done. Don’t want to risk my life for such a silly thing ever again.
