Try a vape dude, I've been trying to quit for 3 years, did the gum, patches, you name it....bought a decent/cheap vape last sunday and haven't had one since, and without all the disgusting shit in cigs my sense of taste and smell is already coming back albeit slowly. Even just breathing is feeling cleaner and I've been taking deep breaths and counting how long I can breath in for each night and I'm already improving...in a couple weeks I'm going to give this thing up too.

Might I ask what device/juice you are vaping on?
As for trying to give it up in a few weeks I don't really think that's a good idea I needed like 3 months before I really broke my addiction to cigs and even now I still enjoy them, it's easy to get back into a smoking habit when you used to smoke for a long time IMO
Vaping really isnt that bad for you I've been doing it for like 8 months and my health is only getting better
I understand if you just want to break the whole nicotine addiction/act of inhaling something entirely and that's fine but it's akin to quitting coffee, it's just something enjoyable and fun to give yourself a little boost

I should really look more into it. I started with those first ones - "Smoke Anywhere". They were so awful and ridiculous expensive. Then I tried two other ones, but nothing like those serious ones they have now. Now they can tweak them to make lots of "smoke" and stuff.

this is the one I bought.
I have 3 different juices that I've been switching between, black and blue(which I think is just blackberry/blueberry mix) that's my favorite so far, a honey/banana mix, and one called beetlejuice that's a strawberry pineapple mix.
I honestly might keep going, I started with the intention of quitting the vape once I used it to quit cigs but within a week I'm noticing so many improvements from just plain breathing to taste and smell. Even after just a week I'm not waking up and hacking out a lung or if I do cough it's a dry cough and I'm not hacking shit up.

Vapor not smoke
No combustion occurs in a properly functioning vape
The gas station cigalike ones suck shit, pen vapes are a little better but honestly the best device out right now for a beginner is the Kanger Subox + Subtank Mini
There are many other devices to choose from vaping is a very broad subject but the Kanger is the best beginner vape that exists at the moment IMO
A pen vape might suit you for a while but eventually you'll probably get sick of it

Yeah that's what I like most about it, I still play with the settings a bit but you can keep altering it until you hit your own "sweet spot"

Is that the stock atomizer that came with the MVP?
If not you should really look into getting a Kanger Subtank Mini they're really nice devices I want to get one soon and I'm not even a beginner lol
But as long as it satisfies you that's what counts I personally fucking love it

I don't believe it was the stock one, if I remember correctly I had to buy it seperately and it's an Apsire Nautilus Mini, but it's funny you said that because the guy said this one wasn't bad for a beginner but I remember him specifically saying that Kanger was probably one of the best ones especially for beginners but they didn't stock that brand and I was too desperate and excited to get off cigs to wait any longer lol.

Ahh I see
Well the Nautilus is a good vape too but I used to vape on one of the older Kangers and it worked great for a long time
The Subtank Mini is even better though it's pretty much the best tank atomizer for a beginner because you can get pre-built coils for it or you can also use the rebuildable deck section to build your own coils with kanthal wire, which would save a lot of money
It's a very fun hobby though IMO I've gone a little over the top with it myself because I'm crazy but here's my vape running at full power

I just did that as an experiment, that atomizer had dual coils in it and blasted a massive wall of vapor in 2 seconds flat.. I usually run it at half that power with only one coil but it's just crazy to see what some of these devices are capable of
I don't recommend trying to do crazy shit like this until you have more experience most people would never need this much vapor but it is possible for the crazy fucks

That always drove me crazy, my city removed any and all cigarette disposal attachments thinking it would curb smoking(lol). I always put mine out on the ground, pick it up and waited until I found a trashcan.
For real....
Like I mentioned in my last posts, I do smoke occasionally....but I never leave butts on the ground after I'm done. I have a small container I put butts in for when I'm not around a trash can, or at festivals, or out in nature somewhere. I actually pick up other peoples cig-butts when I'm chillin' out in nature, hate seeing that shit laying around.
I also try to be very mindful and courteous of where the wind is blowing and where my smoke is going, basically I try not to bother people with the smoke..I make sure to exhale in a direction so it doesn't go towards people, or into buildings with open windows, I make sure to step away from people when I smoke. At festivals I won't light one up while around the dance floor/groups of people.
Because even though I do smoke em' here and there, I hate when there's a stream of tobacco smoke going my direction and into my face from another person's stoge.

I want to stop and I can't. It's awful and I feel ashamed, really. It's like, I beat all of this other seemingly insurmountable shit, but this...nah, I want this shit all fucking day long.
I've tried everything except the pill. The most fun was the nasal spray. It felt and looked like someone getting tasered!
I haven't really been dreaming at all lately . I go through lengthy periods of no dreams because my sleep is disrupted and I have terrible insomnia, so I don't think I get too much REM sleep in those periods. I've noticed that it does curb a lot of urges - I haven't been very hungry on it, which is a common side effect, I force myself to eat solely for nourishment or fuel but that's it, I don't really want to drink at all(it's also a bad idea because on the med it lowers your seizure threshold), I drank infrequently on it and one glass of wine would make me feel pretty woozy and dizzy which might've been a combination of the medication and being unable to sleep for 2 days.
I'm on an anti-seizure med for off-label purposes, so that helps, but I've been turning down any and all opportunities to drink socially because I see no need to drink..weed on the otherhand is a different story.
All in all, it affects your dopamine receptor and kind of adds to it all day, so you don't chase habits that made you feel good via dopamine release. I've heard it's also used for cocaine addiction. It might fuck up your sleep, it is a stimulant(but really toned down and not recreational in any sense) so it's best to take it in the morning.
