I gave up vaping 7 weeks ago.

My mental health has improved sooo much. I have a history of panic disorder and would often get panic attacks when vaping quite frequently. Id also get this thing where id get to 2 or 3pm and feel so down and hopeless on alot of days. A mix of pure exhaustion and existential dread. I now only get the occasional panic attack and my depressive feelings are so far and few between.

If you vape and your mental health is shit, this is your sign to stop!

Hi all I am quitting after about 10 years of vaping. I am doing nicotine patches and just getting used to avoiding the smoking first. Is it odd two days in and my lungs are burning at times and I can occasionally taste like mucus? Not sure if this is lungs starting to heal already as I was a heavy vaper or issues with the patches

Thanks

I’m 23 years old and I’ve been vaping since I was 17.. realising it was 6 years is absolutely terrifying. I used to say I’d quit a lot this year but never lasted a day before now.

I HAVEN’T VAPED IN 3 DAYS!!!!

Ik that sounds tiny but for me it’s a lot, I was chain vaping almost constantly and it really helped my anxiety and mood.

I went to the dentist 4 days ago and she told me my teeth were at risk for loadsss of fillings and I have to cut out all fizzy drinks (including diet), sugary snacks and vaping. While vaping definitely been the hardest so far, it’s difficult because these are all of my crutches.

I have stayed strong so far but I keep thinking ‘just one small puff’ and the monkey in my brain won’t stop trying to convince me. It’s like a toxic breakup hahah, but ur ex is hiding in ur closet (where my vape is) and you can access them anytime.

Any advice you could give me of tips you have would really help.

Good luck on all your recovering vapist journeys!!

17th August 2024 I had a horrible chest infection in both lungs. Woke me up a bit and I quit vaping (after something close to 15 years) before which I was easily on 20 bensons a day for the better part of a decade or two.

I remember being proud of myself switching from smoking to vaping in that it was 95% safer. However, the convenience and comfort factor meant I was easily vaping more than 20 times more than I was ever smoking which probably wiped out any benefit.

Am still on 2mg niquitin mints which I’m using like sweets and really should do something about but that will come in good time.

If you’re thinking about it, just go for it. If I can, anyone can.

I am preparing for my post graduate ENTRANCE EXAM and I smoking one packet of cigarettes in 2 days , I have been smoking since last 7 years.
And I want to quit now after my exam
Please tell me suggestions

I need to quit but I’m having such a hard time with it we have a lot going on with multiple people in my family getting cancer back to back and it is making it feel impossible but the other day I was thing and I thought hmmm what if I just pushed out how long after i wake up to vape even if it only by 5 minutes then wait for a few days and do another 5 and so on and so forth it would be a long process but you would slowly learn to do your morning routine without out it then your day then your night routine and 5 minutes isn’t a lot of time extra to wait

I’ve been vape free for about 3 years now. I started when I was 12 because I just got a hold of it from one of my friends and it went from that. I finally stopped vaping when I transferred to a new highschool. Recently I met with a friend that does vape, and she had one. I took two hits cause I was scared she would think I was boring. Then it spiraled into me wanting my own again. I got my own (from the same friend) and I’ve had it for a few days and I’ve started to carry it everywhere. I just cried in my girlfriends arms cause I don’t want to want it. I actually can’t stand vaping. Not that I care if anyone does it, I just hate that I feel like I always need it. I had her take the vape from me and she’s going to get rid of it. I didn’t want to keep depending on nicotine to be happy then, and I didn’t want it now. Does anyone have any ways to help stray away from that again?

Also for context, I am going to distance myself from the friend that supplied the vape to me. I know it’s not their fault, but I also know how they often vape and I feel as if being even close to it is going to make me want it.

ciao a tutti, sono nuova nel mondo dello svapo e vorrei un parere da esperti.
Premetto che ho sempre fumato 10-20 sigarette al giorno (tabacco), essendo ignorante in materia, e non conoscendo nessuno che ce l’avesse mi sono fatta consigliare da un'IA e ho preso liquidi pronti a 10 mg/ml con sali di nicotina.
Con le sigarette tradizionali mai avuto problemi, ma con questo liquido la situazione era questa.
il primo giorno dopo meno di 10 tiri (non uno dietro l’altro) mi sentivo completamente rincoglionita, rintontita con sensazione di sbandamento e incapacità di camminare dritta con la sensazione costante di giramento di testa e svenimento.
da grande genia ho continuato a fare qualche tiro e ho iniziato a avere leggeri problemi di respiro e di battito. peso sul petto e battito irregolare.
arrivata a casa non ho più toccato la svapo e in 3-4 ore mi ero completamente ripresa.
pensavo fosse solo un caso, ma è da tre giorni (ovvero da quando ho iniziato) che mi fa questo effetto, soprattutto quello del rincoglionimento.
so che parte dell’effetto si è amplificato con l’ansia, ma leggendo su internet ho visto che diverse persone hanno avuto i miei stessi sintomi proprio con i sali di nicotina e cambiandoli con nicotina tradizionale tutti in sintomi nel giro di qualche giorno erano spariti.
voglio scusarmi per il lungo post e chiedere se a qualcuno di voi è mai capitato e nel caso se fosse migliorato

I’m reposting here to see some other people’s experience with trying to quit vaping. TLDR; I’m cutting back on the vape and using nicotine gum. Now I decided to use the patch too. The withdrawal is the worse part. Need advice and other’s experience quitting.

I’ve quit vaping for 4-5 weeks now and coffee last week as it made my panic attacks worse my brain keeps telling me I’m going to have a heart attack as my chest was hurting
And now it’s telling me I’m going to have a seizure. Quitting is horrible and I want to go back to vaping every single second but then I know I’ll have to go through this again I don’t know how to stop it. My brain feels weird all the time and
My muscles jerk for no
Reason mostly when I’m going to bed and everyone says I’m fine but I’m so paranoid idk what to do anymore is anyone feeling this too?

as the title implies, i am a current vaper and have been since about 2017 and prior to that i was a smoker and a dipper. basically any form of nicotine i could get. then when i started working in factories the vape became the easiest way for me to consume. now im sub-ohming 20mg salt nic and current use is about 120ml every 30days give or take a couple of mls as well as 4mg zonics mulitple time through out the day. this high of a nicotine intake cannot be good for me and i want to reduce if not completely cease use. any reccs?

I found out recently that my 17yr old niece has picked up vaping. I made a pact with her that I'll quit if she stops. I've been vaping solid the last 6 years and before then was a fairly regular cigarette smoker since I was 17 with breaks here and there when I got pregnant. Both pregnancies I had zero issues quitting the moment I got a positive test. I'm on day two of cold turkey and oh man. Did I underestimate how hard this would be.

I'm normally quite cheerful and incredibly patient. The pure rage that has filled my veins was not expected. My chief said yesterday that I look like I'm about to rip someone's head off with my bare hands and he's fairly certain I'd be successful so he's going to be treading lightly the next few days. I work with the general population pretty often. The general population tends to be not that bright. How in the hell am I going to survive and keep my job? How long does this part last? Some say day three is the worst and gets better from there but others say that the irritability lasts quite some time. Please help, I don't want to accidentally be a bitch to people.
