r/QuitVaping

Looking to get my hands on these in Australia, anyone know any websites to order from etc?

Any helps is appreciated trying to cut down on nicotine

I’ve only been properly vaping for about 6 months as before I would just borrow my friends etc but I decided to quit recently and I didn’t think it would be so hard,
I don’t have any other symptoms but if I sit down to study or am having a bad day my mind immediately goes to wanting to vape. I try reason w myself like if I buy cigarettes instead then I’d need to go out and smoke so I’d do it less often and it would be easier on me / my studying. but ik I have no self control and I’d just smoke all the time.. i feel like the thing i missed most abt vaping was the self destructive aspect aswell as the buzz
also every tip to help stop vaping is non nicotine vapes or gum and I don’t wanna use non nicotine stuff bc I’ve alr quit long enough and gum or having smth in my mouth does not work… is there any proper tips/ stuff that has helped people other than these?

I’m currently 1 month and 1 week nicotine-free, and lately I’ve noticed that I’m really struggling with expressing myself. I keep forgetting words, even very simple ones, and sometimes I’ll have these little memory lapses where I completely forget what I was about to say.

It’s starting to scare me a little because I feel like I’m not expressing myself as well as I used to. At work and around my friends, I sometimes feel like I sound stupid because I can’t find the right words even though I know exactly what I want to say in my head.

I’ve also noticed that my concentration is worse and sometimes I get these weird moments where I feel physically detached from mysel, almost like a mini episode of feeling disconnected or “out of it.” It’s hard to describe.

I’m really hoping this is temporary and that it’ll go away soon. I know withdrawal symptoms can last for a while but I didn’t expect to still feel this mentally foggy after more than a month.

Has anyone else gone through this after quitting nicotine? Did you experience brain fog, trouble finding words, memory issues, difficulty concentrating, or that detached feeling? If so, how long did it last for you?

I was a cig smoker from 15-18 then quit because I was coughing up blood not because I had the overwhelming urge to quit.
I then got introduced to juul when I was 21 I’ve quit vaping for a little over a year between now and then I don’t know wtf happened. But now I’m going like 6? 7 years or so of constant vaping, I have a big lung capacity so I take monster hits too.
I literally cannot AFFORD to vape anymore and it’s aging me prematurely 2 things I’m deeply concerned about right now.

I got some nic patches prescribed to me and I’m on day 3 of the patch
Yesterday wasn’t easy but today is just insane

I have had like 3 meltdowns today I just spent an hour parked on some side street crying. Im so fkn angry and irritable and what’s making me more angry is that I know that if I get a vape I’m going to hate myself the moment that dopamine rush pulls in, cuz it’ll mean I almost got away.

There is a convenience store that I get my vapes at some times about a 20 second drive from here.

I don’t even know what I’m asking or saying 😭 I’m going a little coo coo for coco puffs.

Any advice that isn’t like the usual stuff I guess?

Hey everyone, after years of vaping I got super exhausted and frustrated today by the addiction and angrily threw my juul (attached to a full nic pod) plus some empty juul pods in the trash, shook it around so it was completely muddled with the rest of the trash, tied it up, and literally chucked it into the garbage bin of the apartment building.

After I calmed down for a sec I realized that it’s an electronic device and I absolutely should not have thrown it out that way. I looked it up and apparently these can start fires? I’m freaking the fuck out right now because I was such an idiot, and I can’t go and dig that shit out of a literal garbage area, plus the juul is probably lost in the ether by now.

I was wondering if anyone else has accidentally done this - like am i supposed to alert someone??? How big of a deal is this??

I really thought this would help me feel better but now I just feel worse :/. So much for that.

I’ve tried to quit over 50 times. And I finally hit 40 days on Friday nicotine free YAY! This is the longest I’ve gone in two years. Well, yesterday I had some intense cravings and I really had to change up what I was doing. Went on a walk at 9 pm. Listen to calm music. I didn’t cave. I’m so happy and feel like my brain will leap bounds after yesterday being so difficult.

John Goodman quit smoking around 2003 and described his intense nicotine withdrawal as turning him into a "werewolf" who went completely "nuts”

Im 28 hrs nicotine free and it’s been a living hell so far , way worse than I thought it would be , sobbing on and off all day

Hi all! Did any of you gain a feeling of depression after quitting? I’m at the 6 month mark and I still feel off mentally. Some days are joyful and I feel great! But overall.. I feel like if depressed. Anyone else depressed months after?

Have any of you gone on medications after quitting for anxiety/ depression? What was your experience, if so?

I’m trying to overcome this hump without medications but will consider it if things don’t improve over a couple of months.

TIA for feedback

I’m am currently 5 days fully vape free. Disclaimer, I am using 7mg 24 hour patches but taking them off early so only using it for 14 hours a day. I am very proud of where I am at but I keep having weird dreams, only sleeping for an hour at a time and feeling like a zombie every day. If anyone has used patches, does this ease or go away after the 28 day patch course? Any hopeful advice will be great.
