I know it's gross, unhealthy, a stupid habit, makes no sense.

Trouble quitting cuz it's something to do with hands, fidgety, restless, oral fixation I think, and it gets me out of the house. Can't find a habit to replace it with.

I quit smoking 10 years ago thanks to vaping.

I'll agree that it's most likely not as safe as not vaping at all but I am also on the side that it's harm reduction and your clothes smell a lot nicer if you vape than if you smoke.

I now mix my own vape juice using premix chemicals and a year's supply cost me something in the neighborhood of $400 and that's including coils and batteries and all of that stuff.

I also use only a very small amount of nicotine, something like 1.5 mg compared to commercial Vapes bottoming out at 3, and on my next batch I'll reduce it to half of that.
