24 hours smoke free (not nicotine free yet)

I tried cold turkey a couple of times and went through craving hell for days days before I quit quitting.
Vaping had worked for me much better once. It helped tremendously getting over the worst part easier than I had initially thought. I was nicotine free for over 5 weeks and the cravings were manageable.

Liquids gave me control over reducing nicotine and the vaping itself gave me something to do instead of smoking cigarettes. I had reduced the nicotine to 0mg over about two to three weeks with little cravings. That method seemed to work for me and after a couple of days with 0mg nicotine I also naturally lost interest in vaping so I put the vape and liquids away and didn’t take the vape with me when I left the house.

I had underestimated triggers. I went to a bar with friends and had one single cigarette even though I didn’t even crave it. I was just tipsy and stupid and it set me back to where I started. I‘ve learned from that.

Last week I felt an intrinsic motivation and will to quit again. So yesterday I bought a refill pod vape and liquids, sat outside the shop and started vaping. After vaping I smoked one last cigarette. It tasted awful and I couldn’t even finish it.

It’s 24 hours. I think about smoking here and there but vaping helps a lot for now and I‘m positive that it will work a second time.

I plan to be nicotine free in 2-3 weeks and since it feels as easy as my first try with vaping and how awful cigarettes taste and smell it seems quite achievable right now.

Ich hatte es vor Jahren mit dem Vapen mal relativ schnell geschafft für einige Wochen nikotinfrei zu sein. Ich hatte einen Akkuträger (80W, 0,2 Ohm coils) mit 4ml Tank. Das war alles recht aufwendig mit den Liquids und ich hab viele Infos wieder vergessen.
Ich plane einen neuen Versuch und hoffe ihr könnt mir mit Fragen helfen auch wenn ein paar davon vermutlich dumm sind.

Ich überlege statt dem Akkuträger ein Podsystem wie elfbar zu holen.

Nimmt man mit Podsystem weniger Nikotin auf?
Verbrauchen die weniger Liquid pro Zug?
Wie oft kann man einen Pod nachfüllen bis er getauscht werden muss?
Welches Podsystem könnt ihr empfehlen das eine Regulierung für den Zugwiderstand hat?
Ich weiß es ist individuell aber wie viel ml dampft man in etwa am Tag? (Ich glaube mich zu erinnern, dass ich so zwischen 4 und 6ml gedampft hab. Kommt das hin?)

Was wäre die beste Möglichkeit die Konzentration des Nikotins zu erreichen, die ich haben möchte? Gibt’s Möglichkeiten um das Selbstmischen oder zumindest das Reifen zu umgehen? Wie lange dauert das Reifen? Und gibt es Qualitätsunterschiede bei Aromen die im Preis sehr unterschiedlich sind?
Gibt es irgendein Aroma oder Liquid das nicht so süß ist?
Gibt es überhaupt noch Nikotin zum Mischen zu kaufen?

Danke!
