This subreddit is a place for redditors to motivate each other to quit vaping. We welcome anyone who wishes to join in by asking or giving advice, sharing stories, or just encouraging someone who is trying to quit. Even though vaping is much less harmful than smoking, you might still want to quit. Whether you don't like the carcinogens in the vapor or you just want to stop being addicted to nicotine, this is the sub for you.
So this is a bit of a impulsive decision to quit, I had started getting some breathing pains and it really freaked me out. I am seeing a doctor in a few days but I was going to get one last one since the one I have now is getting low. However the last two times I went to get one, the store was shut or the attendant had left for 30mins so I kinda took this as the universe telling me it’s time to give it up.
So I went to the chemist where all the nicorette products were right in front of the prescriptions so literally where everyone was which was so daunting. I stood back looking at all the options for atleast 5-10mins and people kept on thinking I was in the line before I just grabbed the cool berry one. I thought about the gum but I’m living with family that don’t know I smoke and so the quick mist was the closest thing I felt comfortable with. Tried it twice and it is so strong and also made me feel a bit sick but no cravings for the vape yet.
My vape is still active but I’m hoping to make it the three days and a week without it before throwing it away/letting it go flat as an insurance that I won’t buy another one.
Wish me luck and 🤞 it hasn’t affect my health too much yet. I’m living in Australia and so I am going to see if I can get some edibles as a bit of a reward and to deal with anxiety. I used to smoke weed every day before but since living with my family I haven’t smoked since November and it was easier than I thought to live without it so I think this may work.

My advice would be to really try your best to not use it much. Only use it if you get a major craving. I was stuck on the quickmists for about 6-8 months last year, it was a nightmare 😂
It burns my mouth/throat so much that I’m worried I’m using it wrong 😂 but I definitely works for this intended use though. I’ve been using it once every 30mins to an hour and I hope I at least slowly reduce it over the next week or two
Good luck you can do it ✌️ remind yourself the reason ! Have you got an app to track it?
No not yet! I’ve seen people use something but I have no idea what to look for
I use a simple free one called Quit Vaping. The symbol is a green square with a white vape outline
That quickmist is like ice or speed you can easily come addicted to it. Use TABEX
I’ll have to have a look into it, so far the quick mist is so gross but I have no desire to vape bc how much of a bad taste it leaves
What other nicotine products have u tried, like lozenges or pouches or gum?
Not yet, I just don’t want something that someone can find easily and I honestly don’t even know how to go about it. I’ve just been keeping the quickmist in my bra like I did with my vape
Why don’t u try TABEX available on Amazon? It is herbal medicine that binds to nicotinic receptors in the brain instead of nicotine. Could work for u?
