Hi everyone

I gave up vaping on Thursday

I've been doing alright

Today I had some weird flickers of wanting to vape

I know that it makes no sense
Particularly as I actually ditched about £30 worth of liquid refill on Thursday! Drove to the a vape shop with it and had the embarrassment of telling them in the shop, asking them if I could recycle, and then telling them I won't be seeing them again and thanks for their lovely shop while I've used it!

The really mad thing about going and buying more would be spending more money!

Please tell me your stories of stopping and staying stopped! Thank you

No one?

No one at all

You're all still vaping?

Today is day 18 for me! I don’t know what magic switch flipped this time but I’m doing it. By now I’m in a mindset that I don’t vape and there’s no reason to go and buy one. I bought a pair of necklaces with mouthpieces on Amazon that have been really helpful - you’re only inhaling air but it definitely helps with the urges and just getting around the habit of using a vape. Good luck, you can do it!

I was waiting for a tram on my way home when I heard a laboured gasping, rasping sound coming from a young man sat about 3 foot away from me. His breathing was laboured, like each breath required a massive amount of effort. It was mindblowing, how loud it was and the effort he was using just to survive.

Looks like your motivavtion to give up has been a very good decision, not just to save money.
