Cigarettes smell so awful to me now that even if my PV died, I don't think that a cigarette would even be an option. For me, it would be like running out of Cool-Aid and choosing to drink sewer water.

I've thought of that very question many times since I quit smoking and began vaping (April 8, 2012). I suppose the answer to the "when to stop vaping" question is: whenever maintaining your gear (recharging, refilling, safeguarding, etc.) stops being enjoyable and becomes a hassle to you...when it begins to outweigh the enjoyment you get from the act of vaping, it's probably time for you to quit.

Wow.. Great topic. Maybe because I've been in a similar frame of mind lately. I've been vaping now for about 30 months. My original idea when I started was to quit smoking. And I've accomplished that with no reservations. Even if I quit vaping, I know I will never go back to smoking. Using simple devices I weened myself down to 6mg in about a year. Then I dropped down to 3 or 4 with sub ohming and even that seems too much. I definitely have times when I mindlessly vape but over the last couple of months I've gone for longer and longer stretches without vaping. And actually not missing it. 2 years ago, if I forgot my kit or didn't bring enough juice I would have turned the car around and gone back, lol. These days, not so much. More and more I find my self taking a couple puffs and I'm good. Recently my wife said she's feeling done with it. She announced she wants to stop vaping by next summer. I know her. She'll be done in a few months. I'm starting to entertain the idea bit I don't feel any pressure one way or the other. I still kind of enjoy it, especially at certain times. I just don't have the fever any more, and I'm totally ok with that.

I have been vaping since March of 2009, and have been contemplating this issue as well. I recently quit buying 12mg juice for my non-subohm tank, and using the 3mg and 4mg juice for the subs in the regular tank. I use a Nautilus mini on a VTR all day at work, 1.6ohm coil. The first couple days saw the juice go quick, but I returned to normal juice volume pretty quickly. My next order I may get 2mg and see how that goes. I have to admit, not having the worry of having batts and juice with me every time I leave the house seems nice. Having to check and be sure all the stuff is there is starting to remind me of checking the cig pack to see if I had enough for the day at work, or for the night at home. A couple weeks ago, when I left all my spare coils at home when I went out of town was way more stressful than it should have been. I enjoy vapng still, but lately it is seeming to be the same monkey on my back that cigs were, and I am not sure I want to be carrying it around any more. My biggest fear is that cigs are so easy to get, and I definitely don't want to go back to them. I'm sure I'll be carrying the VTR around with me for quite a while, even if it's just there to prevent a cig purchase.

Well, well, gee whiz, golly, wow guys n gals, seems e cigs actually are a cessation device ...... imagine that!! I've been thinking about quitting everything myself lately. Just have to wean myself down to a low nic level first, tho. 50+ years of burning nasties before finding vaping a couple years ago makes me wonder just how difficult it might be to one day be totally nondependant. Guess there's only one way to find out.

I do like the tank, I just don't think it is an all day, everyday tank for me. I didn't care the Ti 01 build I did on the RBA, I may go back and try to build a Ni200 build. I am really looking for a good 35 - 40 watt (joule) tank, with a single coil and good airflow. I think this tank, even with the single coil RBA is designed for much higher wattage, but without more testing, I can't be for sure.

Thanks! I have had mine sitting on the old ipv3 with the triple coil. It makes my other subtanks seem like plastic clearomizers. I ran it up to 150watts and it still keeps up. I can't, but the tank can do it. (with 50/50 juice). I love the experience from the drip tip. It is so unique. At the high wattages with the airflow open on the drip tip, it doesn't just cool down the vape, it encapsulates it. It is definitely a totally different type of tank than any other i have used. I don't think it is the perfect tank for me, but I am glad I bought it. It out performs most of my drippers with the triple coil.

I've only been vaping 18 months, give or take... and I've noticed when I'm out-and-about, dinner, hiking, shopping, family-functions, etc, I rarely hit my devices... actually I left one in the car the other day for 8-hours and didn't even think about it until I got back to the car! Last night, we went hiking to the peak to watch the sunset, and my vape stayed in the backpack until I got back to the car and started driving home... went without a single hit for 6-7 hours? I do vape more (and heavily) when I'm working, but that was the same for my smoking... stress relief? Habit? I've cut back my Nicotine to 3-6mg for the most part, but still have plenty of 12-18mg laying around... I guess, like everyone else, when vaping becomes more of a hassle than pleasure, I'll start paying my gear forward and maybe hang onto a couple of Aerotanks and a small APV, just in case?

You're right, but since I've gone from 24 to 3 using the same gear (battery and atomizer), I figure it's just a matter of time now.

I've been vaping since May 2012, and it's been on my mind for the better part of this year. Making sure batteries were charged, all back ups were packed, carrying extra juices... I didn't mind for the longest time, but in the last several months I've been finding it to be tedious. Also, when I go out, vaping is starting to be looked at like smoking cigarettes. Finding a place to vape that isn't imposing on others is also starting to feel like the old days. When I first started vaping I was at 24 mg of nic. Now, it's at a steady 3 mg and dropping. Before too much longer, I may be putting my vape gear in the pay-it-forward pile. Only time will tell, but the nice thing is that there's no pressure, I can do this when I'm ready. That's the beauty of vaping, I guess.

Perfect. The issue seems to be that you are posting via HTTPS rather than HTTP. What's interesting to me is why when you post a new topic, the HTTPS field is coming up rather than regular http. (Notice the start of the URL is https://....) Could you try and tell me the exact steps you took to throw that error? I'll try to see if I can duplicate it on my end. If not I might provide you with a browser logger to help me narrow down the issue. (By the way I'll send some free swag your way for the trouble!)

Just want to post on topic for a sec. What I learned today...kinda... Is no matter what you think you want, there is always something new/better that comes out a day after you order.

IStick 50w (battery life and has yet to fail me, second would be Spinner 2) Davide 3ml with 1.8ohm single KPT coil (No longer available in the configuration I like so I am nursing the 6 my wife and I share) Standard drip tip is my preference (I used to be averse to metal tips but now prefer them) Fuzion Vapor "Endless Summer" in 18mg (All I have vaped since for over 2 years) I still have tons of backups for backups but my Istick is the favorite battery I have ever had. I am a fairly basic guy!

I guess what I'm using now is my favorite, but that might change later on. Kanger Subox mini with a Efest 3100mah 20A battery Kanger Subtank mini using the RBA with a 1.0 ohm kanthal 28g coil and a 3mm Ekowool hollow core wick (had to try it and surprisingly it wicks very well) 3d printed drip tip (my own design) In a few hours I will probably switch to a KPT2 with a 1.8 coil, but what I'm using now is what I use most often.

Great question, but, it will change within a few months for me (I hope). For now: ipvD2Project Sub Ohm SauceCodeHerakels Ni200 coilSamsung INR18650-25RIt isn't the perfect setup though. RBA sucks on this one, I have messed up 2. I'm currently testing the TFV4 tank to replace the SauceCode, but it isn't looking like it will be the one. I am holding out for hope the ChutluV2.

Like you, I have lots of vape gear, but my daily go-to favorite is my Russian 91% and IPV-mini. There are many others I use and love, but side-by-side on the desk, and the Russian finds it's way into my hand
