I buy disposable vapes because I convince myself it’s my last one. Once it runs out I’ll quit.

Buying a rig is accepting defeat.

Except this vape ran out faster than I expected. I have a big week at work coming up and I can’t afford the dip in energy level and productivity that comes with withdrawal. I’ll buy one more just this once and then I’ll quit for sure.

Amazing the hoops my mind jumps through for an addictive molecule.

I went from disposables to a refillable one as part of my cutting down.

Being able to mix my own liquid meant I could slowly reduce my nicotine levels, whilst maintaining the habit of smoking, making it easier to finally come off it at the end.

Good luck!

You know they contain rechargeable batteries but are just missing the charging port and a few tiny chips?

Some of them are rechargeable, but you'll only cycle the battery 2-3 times before the juice is gone.

Switch to unflavored. The flavorings likely act as MAO inhibitors and synergistically boost the neurological effects of nicotine which by itself is not significantly addictive (but can be habit-forming for some people).

Exception to the rule is menthol flavoring. Menthol is a kappa opioid agonist. In the nervous system, it produces dysphoria — opposite of euphoria, i.e. feeling bleak, anxious, depressed. This effect lasts longer than nicotine’s effect, leading to redosing.

It might be better to accept what is right now and buy a rig but then play with the nicotine level to reduce it step by step. Once you reach 0 you won.

Sounds like it could be time to get some professional help.
