This may be a really naive question (or I may be falsely inferring that you want to quit nicotine), but I'm curious:
If you've cut out the behavioral addiction with cigarettes and are now addicted solely to nicotine, couldn't you slowly ween yourself from nicotine by gradually using liquids with less and less nicotine until you eventually end up using liquids without any nicotine?
- eknkc 11y agoYou can. Liquids generally have a nicotine rating in mg per ml. I started with 18mg liquids, then 12, 6 and now 3mg (which is the lowest rating on most brands). I consume a little more liquid than before but it's probably due to my recent switch to 3mg from 6mg. As soon as I get used to 3mg, I'm finally gonna get some nicotine free liquids and start diluting 3mg to 2, 1 and then 0. Most people don't do this as far as I can tell though.
- nicwest 11y agoI did this a few years back, after about 9 months of vaping at decreasing nicotine levels. pretty much the day I swapped to 0 nicotine I started noticing people smoking in the street, within a couple of weeks I'd stopped vaping, and within a month I was smoking again. Up until this point I had not realised just how ingrained my nicotine addiction was (before this I assumed I was mainly just behaviourally addicted).
- snarfy 11y agoI could, but that's not my goal now. I've used nicotine for about 30 years. I've quit smoking/nicotine a couple times, for a few years each time. I was so much less productive and nearly failing at my job for those years that I went back to nicotine. I'd sure like to quit, but not sure my old brain can change at this point.
