not alot of people know about ecig so its difficult to get any feedback or support about it in regards to quitting. so thanks again and congradulations!

Hi, Maureen,
At first, I was like you, using it as a quit device, and gradually stepping down the dosage, but then I discovered it didn't make much difference when I used it, or how high or low the nicotine content. It seemed to wean itself! I can still take a puff on the ecig if I feel like it, or just not bother with it! something I could never have done with tobacco. You are doing a good thing with this device. Even if you never quit completely, you have gotten away from the many toxins in tobacco. Sure, there are concerns about the ecig liquid, and that is why to eventually let it go also, but in the meantime, I think it's healthier not to obsess about quitting. The quitting will come because the ecig is not addictive like tobacco.
Thanks for this!
