This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

This is literally how I quit, except I did it intentionally.

But this is fake because the jump from 0.001 to 0.000 was like the ground disappearing beneath my feet.

For the previous week I was only using 0 nic juice in a pod that previously held a tiny amount of nic (we're talking trace amounts near the end - I wasn't feeling a thing).

Anyway I thought I was going through withdrawal so hard with the 0 nic in the used pod, but NOPE switch to 0 nic in a fresh pod and it was like "welcome to withdrawal 2."

Still really happy I quit though. It's so great not going into a panick whenever I misplace my vape for like 42 seconds. That was always so fucking humbling.

Finally, some hard evidence for homeopathy

Tack a few more zeros in there and sure.

I am aware but I am afraid some people might actually be inspired by this!

Well, as a full disclaimer on my part, to anyone reading there are far less expensive ways to activate your body's limited placebo response than homeopathy™ branded products

I've also done this to quit vaping. I've quit cold turkey a couple times, but diluting like this was by far easier for me. Still difficult, especially when going to zero nic, but it worked.

For sure, if cold turkey hasn't worked for someone, I would recommend this option. As hard as it was, it actually stuck (haven't had nic in several years), unlike the hundreds of other times I tried to quit
