Nicotine Craving or Psychological Habit

[Alex]

Thanks @Silver, I might get stoned for writing this following personal thought; I think after 7+ months without stinkies, obviously with the assistance of vaping and this awesome forum, I am know closer to quit nicotine altogether. I am not there yet, but I would like to quit the nicotine in full, followed by vaping at some stage as well. I believe in setting achievable goals, but haven't contemplating the latter yet and its due to happen sometime in future.

I have more or less the same goal in mind, not that I mind the nicotine at all. But I am beginning to hate that nic rush more and more now, which is something that happens all to frequently with me late at night. I blame it on the awesome juice flavours which keep me vaping more than I should. And subsequently lead to that nic rush. Lately I've been much more focused on flavours and far less on any TH.

An interesting point to note is that there are zero peer reviewed published scientific articles that can prove that nicotine is addictive in the absence of tobacco. Which I read about recently.

@johan, lets face it, most of us started vaping as a means to stop smoking.
And most of us probably thought we would vape for a while and then quit vaping altogether.

I never in my wildest dreams thought vaping would be this much fun. Gadget wise and flavour wise...
And of course, this forum and all the great people.

So for now, I am continuing and enjoying it thoroughly.

But I totally respect your desire to quit in full. And anyone else's for that matter. I won't be stoning you at all.
I just hope that if you manage to do that - you will still pop in at the vape meets to say hello and drink a whiskey or two

@Alex, I hear you on the nic rush issue

I think it's a good idea to have a strong setup for when you need a big nic hit and then two milder setups more for enjoying the flavour and for mindless vaping.... what do you think?

Very interesting @Alex, I am for sure still addicted to nicotine (apart from other things) and that after 7+ months , but must add not so critical as before - it might just be "bullshit-baffled-brains" in my personal instance.

Absolutely, having a zero nic juice that tastes great would be a winner for me. Calling @VapeGrrl

Thanks @Silver, well I don't drink whiskey but liters of beer and w

For sure Silver, and I know you won't, but some people are really very religious about vaping

Could be true.

You should check out this site, and have a look through the NICOTINE section

I agree on the nicotine, its not harmful in moderation, exactly like coffee or alcohol and in moderation actually very good for the average person, what bugs me personally is more the "dependancy" on the habit.

I've weened myself down to 3-4.5mg/ml so nicotine really isn't a big thing for me. It's more the process (psychological) of it. I can clear my head and take few hits, then get back to what I'm doing. I've noticed i can go for quite a while without a vape when i'm busy, and when i'm not, i vape quite a lot.
