Has vaping helped your mental health

[Rob Fisher]

So many people have said that they've decreased their nic, or that they can go without nic for long periods where necessary without becoming agitated, but I can't! That's why I never, ever, go out without something to vape e.g. before going into Spar I have a puff. When I return to my car, I have a puff. And woe betide anyone or anything that gets between me and my puff!!

I have reduced my nic, but I carry two vapes wherever I go... I vape all the time... in the shops, on the plane, in the restaurant... everywhere. But I'm very aware and ninja vape if I am in a people area. In the last few years, I have been asked not to vape only twice. I must say the little disposable has been a winner for Ninja vape areas!

Hmmm ... Has Vaping helped my mental health? ... I guess it's maintained a level of relative sanity , as I use Nicotine as a selective controllable non script version of Concerta or Ritalin, and I would rather say that I vape fairly high levels of Nicotine to prevent the physical dismemberment of certain brain dead individuals, (our government included), more than to help my mental health.
As to ever reducing my Nic levels ... I do ... regularly dammit ...every time I DL vape, aaaaand ... like Rob ... I vape all the time, and everywhere, making stealth the (public) game, albeit that I vehemently oppose disposables, and only use podmods with 18mg Freebase for Restaurants, Shopping Malls, Planes, Trains and (other than my)Automobiles Stealth Vaping.

Vaping helped calm me down during rough patches, especially when anxiety kicked in. I used to smoke way more when stressed, but switching to vaping gave me better control. I also started looking for support and found some decent options by searching mental health help near me. Getting help from people who understood made a big difference along with the switch—it’s all about finding what works for you personally.

Has vaping helped my mental health? Not even close.


If anything, I’ve gone from being a pack-a-day smoker to a full-blown obsessive lunatic with a build mat, wire spools, and 500 half-empty juice bottles rattling around in my bag. I used to stress about forgetting my smokes—now I stress about forgetting my hex key or running out of cotton mid-wick. I wake up thinking about airflow and go to bed dreaming of custard notes.


But I’ll say this—while it may have lit a new kind of madness in me, it’s a much healthier kind of madness. I’m no longer chained to those “smoke breaks” where everything else had to stop. Now I take a quick pull and get on with my day. No ashtrays. No yellow fingers. No lectures from the doc.


And yeah, building coils when I’m wound up is surprisingly cathartic. There’s something about wrapping wire and getting that perfect glow that settles the nerves in a strange, meditative way.


So no, vaping didn’t save my sanity. But it gave me a hobby, a healthier outlet, and a hell of a community to rant to while I slowly lose my mind over leaking RTAs and flavour fade.
