Cheap reusable vape kit + nicotine prescription + premade 0% juice to slowly water it down over time.
It’s a bit fussy and looks douchey short term plus the long term health risks haven’t been researched. But tapering down slowly and then off will help you with a really tough quit. Hopefully you won’t need it for too long.
A decent strength initially helps break the habit of the cigs and then you can work with it from there.
Pick a MTL (mouth to lung) option as it’s more similar to smoking and doesn’t produce huge obnoxious clouds. I bought an Aspire Pockex kit which at the time was around $30 on eBay for vape + charger + a coil. It was about the size of a ‘lipstick’ style power bank. It’s not fashionable but was a very good tool to quit.
Very good advice
Avoid any butter flavours. Choose fruit or go unflavoured (diacetyl = popcorn lung). Avoid sugar in liquid as it can burn coils faster.
Avoid disposable black market vapes (unpredictable strength, heavy metals and lipid pneumonia). These are what led to the acute short term health problems in the news.
Use an online calculator and either a jewellery scale or syringe to dilute as accurately as possible.
Don’t start/use the device when the tank is empty or the liquid is getting low. Also get enough spare coils to change them frequently - when using for the first time or changing the coil either let it sit for for a while or slowly drip liquid inside the coil to completely wet the cotton before firing the device. (Burned coils taste terrible and emit seriously bad chemicals. Dirty ones also aren’t good.)
I don’t know what strength you get prescribed (I quit before the ban) but treat the nicotine liquid with caution. Clean up any spills or wash it off your skin immediately. Don’t let Mickey near it and try to avoid vaping near him.
