I quit vaping after 2 years and found the hardest part was the ritual aspect of it, not so much the nicotine. I used to sit at my computer, code, and blow big vape clouds into the air. It was extremely relaxing and took a bit of time to get over it. I used 0 mg liquid for a while to help, but I would recommend tossing out your vape & any oils you have when you feel you're ready. Having them around is just a temptation.
- greenshackle2 7y agoI agree. I got myself somewhat addicted to nicotine gum. I used it to help focus when coding. It got to the point where I was chewing it constantly, so I stopped. I had to switch to regular gum to successfully stop. Apparently, there's evidence that nicotine reinforces habit formation, so that could be why. https://www.gwern.net/Nicotine https://www.gwern.net/Nicotine
- aphextim 7y agoThis is great advice and somewhat correlated with a shower thought I had the other day when thinking about quitting for good. 2 weeks before I pull the trigger and throw everything into the garbage (that is the plan because I agree the temptation would be probably too great), I plan on trying to only vape outside like I would have to with normal cigarettes. This is to detach my habits of also sitting at the computer desk and taking vape hits whenever I want. This would force me to want it bad enough to put on a jacket and physically go outside to smoke it. Where I live we just got our first snow yesterday, so going outside is not exactly pleasant, and I'm hoping that when I do pull the trigger and quit at the end of the month it will easier if I've already weened myself off of vaping at my desk or other areas inside of the house I've grown too comfortable vaping in.
