r/quit_vaping

I used to smoke a nicotine vape for years. The last few months of me smoking, I started to get a really weird body odor like sweet, tangy, musky, and it stuck to everything. I could smell it on me during the day and my clothes after I wore them, even in my hair.

Eventually I quit because it was so noticeable. It’s been over a year now and no amount of washing my clothes can get the smell out.

I tried everything - borax, sodium percarbonate, vinegar, zero odor laundry booster, etc.

Now my clothes, even ones I didn’t wear while vaping, will smell when I wear them. It doesn’t seem as noticeable right when I wash them but as I wear them and my body heat interacts with the clothes, the smell is back.

I feel so alone in this like it’s embarrassing to be told I smell, and it’s embarrassing to be out and about and know I smell.

Has anyone ever experienced this? I need any help I can!!! Literally at the point that I’m about to move apartments (not because of the smell lol) and want to get rid of all my clothes and have to start fresh because there’s been literally no solution that gets the smell out.

I've been a heavy heavy vaper for the past 10 years plus. Before that it was cigarettes. I'd even wake up before my alarm and reach for it, go vape in the toilet so my husband didn't know then go back to bed. I even had breast reduction surgeryand was sucking on the vape as soon as I could move afterwards which I was told would negativity effect my surgery results. Obviously it did. But at that time I didn't care. How sad is that? I actually secretly vaped anywhere and everywhere.

After many failed attempts at quitting- cold turkey, praying, tapering down, hypnotherapy NOTHING WORKED!!! sleight back into the guilt and shame cycle.

Scrolling on insta one day and I came across DESMOXAN. I bought it from an online polish pharmacy and got it delivered here to scotland. I was sceptical but thought ill give it a go- didnt expect much as im so fcking addicted.

Day 1-5 on the pills and I was still vaping but wow- by day 3 I was literally forcing myself to vape. It was just not giving me a hit, it tasted weird. I even thought about stopping the pills so I could get that hit I was so desperate for.

Somehow I stuck with it- day 5 I was nearly gagging when forcing myself to vape so I chucked it away.

I'm now 2 days vape free, that's the longest I haven't vaped in many years. And I can say- I FEEL ALIVE. It's like I can finally be who I want to be. I felt like a fraud when I was vaping and I can't really explain why. I felt like I have more time in the day, im not interrupting nice moments with my kids to go and vape, I have this whole complete feeling which is just so precious and lovely it's giving me the boost to carry on with those treatment.

So I guess I've shared this because I want others to experience it too. DESMOXAN!!!! BUY IT!!!!!@​

I’m thinking of quitting, I’ve done it before for a few days but gave up.. I thought I’d quit again so I did some online searching about the benefits to make me want too but now I’m not so sure if I want to because everyone’s talking about how you will gain around 10ib from quitting? Is this true or is it just because some people cope with quitting through eating more? If I still eat the same as I do now will I gain or just stay the same? I don’t know if this is stupid but I just need advice.

So I’ve been vaping for a year now but like really heavy vaping I finish like a 6000 puff vape in 2 to 3 days and I want to quit because my eyes always look tired and my face is puffy all the time but I’m not really sure if it’s the vape or not because I get good sleep or that’s what I think because I always weak up tired but I do sleep 8 hours so if you can please tell me if since you quit any of these things i mentioned have improved for you.
