    Good intentions, implementation, and results here, but seriously folks, think VERY carefully about what you’re doing when you tamper with something someone’s putting in their body.

    Do not try at home to the nth degree.

      implying anyone on 4chan gives a shit about consent

      this made me really uncomfortable too, also its extremely fake, you can’t ‘take apart’ a vape juice bottle (theyre a single piece of plastic), and no one on 4chan has a girlfriend (lol)

        You can take apart juice bottles.
        The least realistic part is that anon managed to get to and dilute every bottle their gf used.
        Cause if they miss one, their gf is gonna have a serious shock.

        So, lack of consent and extremely controlling?

          That’s a very good point. The fictitious gf is the one buying the bottles. So if they are used to 1% nicotine and pick up a regular strength one, they’re going to use it, and immediately notice the difference…

        I take apart mine every time I buy one. To add nicotine. Maybe there are different kinds of bottles? I’ve never seen one where the top is not detachable.

        What sketchy cheap shit are you using? I’ve used a vape for a decade now, and you can remove the nipple cape on every single bottle.

        Maybe the ones you use can’t be taken apart but dont assume the whole world aligns to your image of it

        Just be open to things possibly being different to what you experience them to be

        You don’t use a random cutting solution, you use the same juice with no nicotine. A lot of juice makers offer 0 nic versions for people that want to just enjoy the act and flavor of vaping without the addiction, and for this specific purpose of cutting the nic level because they only offer certain increments (usually 3%, 6%, 12%), which may be too high for one’s personal preference.

    This is BS. By the third or fourth bottle shed be like wtf is up with this juice?

    (This reduction method helped me quit, but it’s not imperceptible like that)

      I tapered off vaping using the same method, and there is a clear difference in the feeling of a pull when you cut the nicotine down. Also, you can’t just “cut” the nicotine, you’d have to find some way to enhance the flavor of the diluted mix otherwise it will just get more bland. All of that being said, this is a valid strategy for kicking it. Just buy lower nicotine content bottles until you get down to 0% nic, and if your your experience is like mine, you just wake up one day and don’t reach for the vape on the nightstand.

        As far as it being bland, that’s why you get the same flavor juice with 0 nicotine and cut it with that. It does reduce the “throat hit” (that feeling you’re talking about), but you still get the full flavor.

    And then the gf decides she wants to try a new flavor, buys her “normal” nic strength, and fills her vape up with it before anon has a chance to dilute it.

      This would actually work out fine because she’d get he new bottle, hit it as hard as she did with her diluted bottles, then to proceed to throw up. The nausea alone from nicotine overdose should be a decent deterrent.

        As someone who “quit” nicotine and picked it up again later multiple times… The first hit after a while felt amazing every time. Unfortunately. No nausea at all.

    lmao that’s exactly what I did to quit nicotine altogether. Vaped off of cigarettes, then started lowering the nicotine until about of month of zero, then just stopped completely about two years ago.

    But this was when you could order custom nicotine level juice and get it sent though the mail. I figured out that this was too good to last, so I lowered my concentrations kinda quickly. This was fortunate, because not long after I quit, the last high quantity e-juice company I sourced from closed up shop.

    TBDLiquids, B-X Vapor, and Blue Dot Vapors, you were the GOAT.

    I still have the last half bottle or so of zero nicotine juice as a reminder. So glad I was able to beat the addiction in time.

    Serious question: is it just understood and accepted than almost every one the posts on 4chan are obvious fiction? Is it just an accepted part of the culture there?

      meh, good intentions but tampering with someones consumables without permission is assault if you ask me.

      If she’s old enough to vape then she’s old enough to make the decisions for herself

        but she also wanted to quit. this seems fine by me, cuz that shit ain’t healthy and anon wasnt forcing her the idea of quitting since she had already tried to do it herself, and the anon also wasn’t taking the feeling of winning away from her. just a little white lie to help her achieve her goals.

        if she wouldn’t want to quit though, that would be pretty fucked

          “if she wouldn’t want to quit though”

          she didn’t really get a change to make that decision for herself though, did she?

              i keep going back and looking for the bit where he specifically asked if he could start mixing random substances into her vape juice but i just can’t find it. perhaps you could point it out for me?

              Edit: “My gf was complaining about not being able to sleep so i started putting sleeping pills in her drinks”… that’s what you sound like

    The story is a bit controlling/manipulative in my opinion. Even if the net outcome is good I’d feel like I was overstepping a boundary if I did this to my partner.

    This is literally how I quit, except I did it intentionally.

    But this is fake because the jump from 0.001 to 0.000 was like the ground disappearing beneath my feet.

    For the previous week I was only using 0 nic juice in a pod that previously held a tiny amount of nic (we’re talking trace amounts near the end - I wasn’t feeling a thing).

    Anyway I thought I was going through withdrawal so hard with the 0 nic in the used pod, but NOPE switch to 0 nic in a fresh pod and it was like “welcome to withdrawal 2.”

    Still really happy I quit though. It’s so great not going into a panick whenever I misplace my vape for like 42 seconds. That was always so fucking humbling.

      It is okay to assume something is real when it doesn’t hurt anyone. :)

      Cause maybe, juuust maybe, this story will help someone else.
