Just vape 80/20 PG/NG. No flavorings or nic.

I don't vape. I just smoke normal cigarettes.

I've never done it because I personally don't like the thought of anything going into my lungs but I know a guy that's working on quitting it with snus pouches and working gradually on using less and less by trying to stave it off for longer periods of time. Seems to be working for him.

Weaning off milk or pizza or something in a box that looks like a bunch of bullets is easy to just sniff and set down.

This object that handles like a usb you place from your pocket near the crotch against the lips of your mouth doesn't smell of gold and steel just nicotine yellowed fingernails scratched plastic.

Gonna need to do the tap ting to please yourself. Like finding silver that high ping to remind that's what you treasure. So don't puff just slap it against your wrist or something other specific to indeed sting away that need.

Hey folks,
Bit of an off-topic post, but I’m curious. I’ve been trying to cut down on vaping and it’s way harder than I expected. I always tell myself “just one more hit” and before I know it, the pod’s empty.

I know a lot of gamers vape (especially while playing), so I wanted to ask:

Have you ever tried to quit or reduce it?

What helped you the most?

Do you feel it affects your focus or gaming sessions?

Would be cool to hear some experiences, maybe even tips from people who managed to break the cycle.

I've quit plenty of things; alcohol, weed, nicotine, caffeine, and more.

The most blunt and honest advice I have for you is to stop allowing yourself to be a pushover and commit to quitting. The only reason you haven't yet is because you have weak willpower. Luckily for you, willpower is a state of mind, and not some unchangeable or immovable thing within yourself. You genuinely just have to deal with it. It'll suck. There's no sugar-coating it. You'll get cold-sweats, migraines, irritable, nauseous, lose your appetite or binge eat, stomach cramps, muscle aches, fevers, have trouble sleeping; it's not fun, but it's better than giving your money to a predatory company who counts on you being enslaved to the fear of withdrawal symptoms in order for them to profit continuously from your anxiety/pain.

Any of the things which are advertised to help don't actually help; they just give you nicotine in a different format. Zyns, gum, patches; don't bother. You'd likely just start using them as a replacement than actually stopping

Buy regular gum to keep your mouth busy, and if the oral-fixation/habitual stuff gets to you, find a pen-cap to suck air through. To this day I still find myself idle with a toothpick in my mouth

People do it, it is possible, and > 99% of people go through hell to achieve it. Again: IT IS WORTH IT

Sorry if that's not what you wanted to hear, but it's genuinely the most honest advice, and from someone who has done it themselves.

I still vape, but only a couple times per week. Just CBD for my back pain.

I quit nicotine and THC.

The thing that helped most was simply... willpower. Stepping down worked best. Only allowing myself a certain amount per day worked. I ended up planning my day around when I wanted to vape. And then I only had that little bit of time. Eventually I just started to forget to do it.

My last THC vape has been sitting in front of me for 5 months. I'm not even tempted.

My focus is actually better without that stuff.

If you can't suffer a full withdrawal of 100% to 0%, then consider a gradual reduction. Reducing from 100% to 50% for a while is much easier to do. Afterwards, you can reduce further or go for 0.

Would also suggest you get off the smoke in favor of any other form, like a pill or patch. It'll be easier to manage dose and you're not puffing nasty gunk.

Replace it with another addiction. Nibble on a towel all day instead.

Chew lots of bubble gum.

no

Not really

loved watch'n as 15 individuals go to the same area and use. They say only had 1 and yet the whole parking lot would be and could tell was still door that would open nearby would stir it back up from being put out into the nearby receptacle. Few times they would be caught on fire and begin to melt. Then there was the drivethroughs and those who would just ash and ash and ash would set fire to the mulch near the gas lines. Saving the teller at the window isn't hero work yet warning them of the issues to watch them come out with a cup of dew to put it out was increasing.

Now don't have to take these words as heedings of warns. Just surmise they get rid of the violent action of setting fires so eyes are no longer on them. Just see those already committed to drugging yet turning to another persons addiction for less of a felony rap for claiming wasn't mine it was just a vial of snap dragon potent enough to scratch a itch so deep mars the veins close to the heart to think I'm so pretty so very pretty before casting off that ugliness of a face since depraved lunacy is all the rage.

No point in advertising either: The narcan replacement or the viral webcam head slam from face plant of arrest warrant for channeling into vehicles on street corners with babies on boards for a sweet made by the voices in the head audition for the flashing red light seems to control your actions to stop them from becoming you!

I smoked real tobacco and this is what i did but I used a combination of several things, snus pouches, nicotine gum, nicotine patches, regular gum and sometimes I would just puff on an unlit cigarette.

Hate it
It's a f*cking slave collar you put on your own neck with the purpose of making some companies' shareholders and directors rich
Your addiction and death is part of the profit plan
They did this with ciggies, too

So hate it
Every time you put that slave collar on, hate it
Meditate on it

It is easier to quit an addiction you hate than one you love

With cigs I started by first - I lit up the same number of times, but only smoked half the cig. Half was more than enough to kill any cravings. By doing this - I HALVED MY INTAKE instantly

I dunno if that is doable with vapes, I never jumped into that fire

I quit cold. Got rid of all my paraphenalia - ashies, lighters, filters - only once I knew I was succeeding.

Also - if you get sick or need to go to hospital or visit someone sick - use these things as crutches and time your quitting around them

Most cravings are over after a few minutes - often less time than a whole song - so meditate into a song (or just really, really, REALLY get into a song you dig) and by the time it's over - unless you reactivate it - you can move on with your day for a bit longer

Talk to a counsellor. Maybe this behaviour is covering up/compensating for something else, and quitting might lift the scab off it. Good time to heal it!


A few thoughts, anyway

try switching to a flavor you hate. when i quit cigarettes i started by switching to menthol lights from regular and it helped me cut down until i could handle cold turkey. used to hear best way to make someone quit cigs was to stick a horse hair into one and light up because you'd never want one ever again after that. could also try mints/candies or suckers, like Kojack. 🍭
