I quit by mixing my own vape juice and tapering down to 0% over the course of a year. Was painless and took zero willpower.

    I switched to vaping as well, and when I switched from VUSE pods to nicotine free vape juice I didn't miss it at all. I'm still addicted to vaping, but in my case the actual nicotine was probably the smallest part of my addiction

    Same, then I stopped completely. And I was back again after a few months because quitting nicotine is the first and easiest step

    I did the same except I just started chewing smaller and smaller pieces of nicotine gum until one day I was taking such tiny nibbles that I thought to myself, "this is stupid", spit it out, and that was that. Been nicotine-free for 8 years now.

    Didn’t you get post-a-few-months cravings? Not physical but mental ones. I swear my brain manipulates me, one time I even took a piece of paper and started weighting the pros and cons AND “I” FOUND MORE PROS???

    Unfortunately I can't relate. Never had any issues with feeling the need to have something in my mouth or in my hands. But that's probably cause I was smoking (and then eventually vaping) weed for a lot longer than I was a tobacco smoker. So I guess the cannabis takes care of the oral fixation. I basically replaced cigarettes and Juuls with joints and live resin pens.

    Yup, the habit and optics of “cool” can play with your head too.

    Honestly I don’t really understand the “cool” thing, my problem was especially the habit, and the associations. Like I’d associate watching a great movie with nic, or even some recurring events like weddings for example. That’s what made me relapse too many times.

    recurring events like weddings

    I think you got the concept of weddings wrong. It's "Till death do us part" and not "Until I crave a smoke".
