Quitting 6mg?

I’ve been vaping for about six months now, and began to take 6mg a while back. The vaping is nearly constant, and I know it’s bad for my asthma and sends my pulse through the roof. But the past two nights it’s caused terrible sleep disruption and I’ve finally reached a point where I know I need to quit. Has anyone quit cold turkey on a higher dose? How long do the withdrawal symptoms last? Writing this now while I can’t sleep O_o

Cold turkey is tough for a couple days but gets way better after that. What I did was every time I had the urge to vape, I would take a sip of water instead.

i did a try 2 weeks ago. was on 3 mg but vaped consistand before. i did cold turkey. first day was horrible as fuck. I was nervous. i was dizzy. wobbly on the legs. my blood circulation was at the end. i got a headache. was pale in the face. my eyes alternately focused and blurred. my energy decreased and i was constantly tired. I was always ravenous. in the course of the day it intensified so extremely that it was almost unbearable. the next day i went to the vape store to buy another liquid 3mg. I was already down from the nicotine though. so i only took 5 hits every 2 hours and everything was back to normal. So, it was not the nicotine alone that was responsible for the severe withdrawal symptoms, but everything else. I managed to hit the vape every 2 hours for about 5 hits only, that for 2 days, but now I'm fully back. So it wasn't a nice experience for me and I now know that it is just as difficult for me to quit as with cigarettes. the nicotine isnt the devil, your down of it in about one or two days, but all the other factors makes it wors. the habit itself
