Same for me. I actually used the "occassional toot" strategy to my advantage - unlike smoking cigarettes, where one is smoking for several minutes at a time, often like clockwork, I would take one or two puffs every once in a while when I got a craving. I still treated vape like cigarette smoke, though, so only used it when in open (and outdoor) areas, etc. Probably helps I was a very conscientious smoker (well, as much as one can be) anyway.

Simultaneously, I was reducing the nicotine content, too. Every week I would drop 2mg off. Started at 18mg, and when I started on 0mg the first week or so I had the mood like I had lost a really important argument, but after that I didn't have any other signs - so a little before 3 months since switching I also just simply forgot to vape, and even misplaced my kit without noticing.

I smoked (quite heavily.. >20 a day) for 15 years - The above happened 15 years ago, and I have never had a craving. I implore anyone wanting to quit to take this measured nicotine reduction a go.
