Good news for nicotine addicts but Juul devices are re-usable but the pods aren’t which still create a ton of plastic waste.

    If you mix your own juice why not slowly decrease the bicotine in the mix until it’s nonexistent? That should ween you off the nicotine and you won’t have to worry about it.

      I have lowered the amount of nicotine in the juice I make. But getting down to 0 has been very difficult to do. Actually putting less in is not the hard part. Sticking with it is the hard part. It’s really easy to just make a new bottle at the level I had before that. Idk. It’s hard to explain.

        Kinda like when I switched to rolling my own cigs, or later switching to a pipe. In theory, the extra work was supposed to disincentivize use. In practice, I just got really good at rolling cigs/packing a pipe

        Do you have a trusted friend who could hold onto your nic extract and dispense specific amounts to mix into your juice mixture?

        I used to subohm 100 mg/ml salt nic extract and I managed to quit by reducing the nic until I got to 18 mg/ml, then switched to nicotine gum for a couple of months, then to regular gum for a month or two. This exact method isn’t going to work for everyone, and there are multiple ways to quit nicotine. I no longer have nicotine cravings, though, and I haven’t for years now.
