That's right. I'm trading every single vape related item I have for weed. That way whenever I get an urge I can just puff on the herb. Wish me good vibes 
Ps. If anyone else is quitting feel free to use this thread for support

Congrats! What kind of vape did you use to get off smoking? An uncle of mine has been trying to quit for a while and I was hoping to be able to get him one that doesn't require much vape specific knowledge to use or maintain.

Oh I use a voopoo DRAG. One that came out like 2 or 3 years ago. I also use an RDA(rebuilible drip atomizer) and built my own coils as it saves a FUCK TON of $$$. And I started at 6mg nicotine and went down to 3mg and stayed at 3mg until now. I actually started with cheap gas station shit but once I got a mod and dialed everything in it was great

Several Shroomerites helped each other quit in This thread from yesteryear thats full of motivational talk from all sides.
Godspeed!

Asante said:
LETS QUIT SMOKING RIGHT NOW!
Its expensive as fuck. Its a constant bother having to plan everything around the smoking and availability of cigarettes. One in two lifelong smokers dies as a consequence of smoking and lifelong smoking on average takes a decade off your life expectancy, by making your health express a decade older than you are.
It stinks up your clothes. Enhanced fire hazard in your home. Its bad for every cell in your body. Evil depressing messages on each pack.
Lets QUIT.
TODAY.
I went ahead and quit 4 days ago. The craving is a bit of a nuisance but I notice better circulation, better feeling lungs, I slept better last night. deeper and more restful, all good things. In the past 4 days I DIDNT smoke over 100 cigarettes. 100!
OOOOO OOOOO OOOOO OOOOO OOOOO OOOOO OOOOO OOOOO OOOOO OOOOO OOOOO OOOOO OOOOO OOOOO OOOOO OOOOO OOOOO OOOOO OOOOO OOOOO
My brain is a bit annoyed with quitting, but my lungs, my blood cells, my heart, my vascular system, for them its partytime because the stream of toxins has ceased 
And that is just the tip of the iceberg!
If you quit..
Quote:
Within ... • 20 minutes Your blood pressure, pulse rate and the temperature of your hands and feet have returned to normal. • 8 hours Remaining nicotine in your bloodstream will have fallen to 6.25% of normal peak daily levels, a 93.75% reduction. • 12 hours Your blood oxygen level will have increased to normal and carbon monoxide levels will have dropped to normal. • 24 hours Anxieties have peaked in intensity and within two weeks should return to near pre-cessation levels. • 48 hours Damaged nerve endings have started to regrow and your sense of smell and taste are beginning to return to normal. Cessation anger and irritability will have peaked. • 72 hours Your entire body will test 100% nicotine-free and over 90% of all nicotine metabolites (the chemicals it breaks down into) will now have passed from your body via your urine. Symptoms of chemical withdrawal have peaked in intensity, including restlessness. The number of cue induced crave episodes experienced during any quitting day will peak for the "average" ex-user. Lung bronchial tubes leading to air sacs (alveoli) are beginning to relax in recovering smokers. Breathing is becoming easier and the lung's functional abilities are starting to increase. • 5 - 8 days The "average" ex-smoker will encounter an "average" of three cue induced crave episodes per day. Although we may not be "average" and although serious cessation time distortion can make minutes feel like hours, it is unlikely that any single episode will last longer than 3 minutes. Keep a clock handy and time them. • 10 days 10 days - The "average" ex-user is down to encountering less than two crave episodes per day, each less than 3 minutes. • 10 days to 2 weeks Recovery has likely progressed to the point where your addiction is no longer doing the talking. Blood circulation in your gums and teeth are now similar to that of a non-user. • 2 to 4 weeks Cessation related anger, anxiety, difficulty concentrating, impatience, insomnia, restlessness and depression have ended. If still experiencing any of these symptoms get seen and evaluated by your physician. • 21 days Brain acetylcholine receptor counts that were up-regulated in response to nicotine's presence have now down-regulated and receptor binding has returned to levels seen in the brains of non-smokers. • 2 weeks to 3 months Your heart attack risk has started to drop. Your lung function is beginning to improve. • 3 weeks to 3 months Your circulation has substantially improved. Walking has become easier. Your chronic cough, if any, has likely disappeared. If not, get seen by a doctor, and sooner if at all concerned, as a chronic cough can be a sign of lung cancer. • 8 weeks Insulin resistance in smokers has normalized despite average weight gain of 2.7 kg (1997 study). • 1 to 9 months Any smoking related sinus congestion, fatigue or shortness of breath have decreased. Cilia have regrown in your lungs, thereby increasing their ability to handle mucus, keep your lungs clean and reduce infections. Your body's overall energy has increased. • 1 year Your excess risk of coronary heart disease, heart attack and stroke have dropped to less than half that of a smoker. • 5 years Your risk of a subarachnoid haemorrhage has declined to 59% of your risk while still smoking (2012 study). If a female ex-smoker, your risk of developing diabetes is now that of a non-smoker (2001 study). • 5 to 15 years Your risk of stroke has declined to that of a non-smoker. • 10 years Your risk of being diagnosed with lung cancer is between 30% and 50% of that for a continuing smoker (2005 study). Risk of death from lung cancer has declined by almost half if you were an average smoker (one pack per day). Risk of cancer of the mouth, throat, esophagus and pancreas have declined. Risk of developing diabetes for both men and women is now similar to that of a never-smoker (2001 study). • 13 years The average smoker able to live to age 75 has 5.8 fewer teeth than a non-smoker (1998 study). But by year 13 after quitting, your risk of smoking induced tooth loss has declined to that of a never-smoker (2006 study). • 15 years Your risk of coronary heart disease is now that of a person who has never smoked. Your risk of pancreatic cancer has declined to that of a never-smoker (2011 study - but note 2nd pancreatic making identical finding at 20 years). • 20 years Female excess risk of death from all smoking related causes, including lung disease and cancer, has now reduced to that of a never-smoker (2008 study). Risk of pancreatic cancer reduced to that of a never-smoker (2011 study).
Lets all quit smoking together, right now! We can use this topic for peptalk. Most of you dont smoke for 25 years like I did, and every single cigarette NOT smoked is a gain for your health, even if you later on start smoking again.
LET'S DO THIS

Yeah thanks guys and I agree 100%. I have the will. I'm never going to consume nicotine again. (I quit cigs like 4 years ago and switched to vaping with my end goal to quit nicotine. Took a little longer than I was planning but for some reason now I feel ready. Thank all of you in advance for your support <3 )

I think one has to consider it like an ex-alcoholic would; it's easier to not have the first one than it is to not have the second.
It's definitely a 'teetotal' requirement for anyone that has ever been seriously addicted to the stuff.
I went 2.5 happy years without it in my mid twenties, and just smoked mild weed.
It was the most free that I've ever felt in my life back then.

I cold turkey quit smoking just a bit less than a week ago. It's actually been a lot easier than i expected. I dunno thoigh, i still get serious cravings around once a day i guess. Being broke helps, and corona virus helps...cant just go sniping without worrying about sickness. I wish ye luck in your endeavor and hope that you have as easy a time at it as me.

Right now I’m hooked on really high level nicotine vape juice. It’s got 58mg in a 1.2ml cart and I’ll puff through a cart a day. When I started on these carts one would last me over a week.
I really want to quit. Maybe I’ll use this thread for support.

Hell yeah! It makes me happy seeing others quitting as well. I've already had a couple mild cravings but I just shrugged them off so far. You guys can do it! Replace it with a good habit. I'm trying to keep busy as well and it seems to be helping 
Edit: and even if I wanted to cave in I now no longer have any nicotine even remotely close to me(I also live 10 miles from any town) so I have no choice but to quit now

Ah i see. I used weed and cbd to get over kratom addiction, but i was more worried about losing all my hair on kratom than my lungs, plus the kratom withdrawals. I still vape constantly. and i vape the weed too. idk how unhealthy it is but feels way better on the lungs than smoking does

You got this, once you get over the initial hump you'll feel better than ever. You got a good plan with taking rips whenever you have a hankering for nicotine I've been cigarette/vape free for like 9 months now and it is one of the best decisions I've ever made. Good luck dawg
