it's not something i do to enjoy Perhaps then you should . . . with the added bonus of not smoking as a result.

If you dint enjoy smoking, and you don't enjoy vaping, don't do either. Whatever you do enjoy doing, fill your life with it at this moment in time. By the fact that you don't enjoy either of these things but you feel the need to do one of them to stop the other or vice versa is punishing yourself because YOU aren't happy doing either. The fact that YOU haven't had a cig for 9 weeks is down to YOU and YOU alone. Remember all NRT needs YOUR willpower. Which you have, the evidence is in the fact that you have managed to not smoke for 9 weeks, whilst you have been vaping which you say you don't enjoy, stop vaping and see how it goes. Chin up.

if it isn't working , isn't serving it's purpose i.e. to stop using tobacco cigarettes then i fail to see how it is any way something to feel positive about. It seems to me like saying , 'oh i'm still smoking but i really do enjoy drinking tea, that's something to be happy about'

Chin up. i smoke because i am addicted to nicotine ...if it was as simple as saying i don'tlike smoking i think i am going to stop , then i think i would have stopped a long time ago. People smoke because they are addicted to nicotine , they are dependent on a substance . I don't think it has much to do with personal prefference

No but we are talking about cigarettes, not heroin, aren't we?
YOU have managed to not smoke for 9 weeks. This is really positive, I was trying to make that point maybe it wasn't clear.
What I'm trying to say is something is working because 9 weeks without is really good. If vaping isn't helping then try something else... but your willpower to me seems strong enough. Keep positive.

I'm addicted to nicotine also, I wouldn't be on this site if I wasn't. I know where you are coming from.
Just don't beat yourself up about doing it, it's a never ending road.
Anyway I'm gonna stop derailing your thread.
Peace

@alopezg1 I'm feeling concerned for you, you're obviously going through a real tough time. Forgive me if this is too presumtious, but it seems to me that this is about more than 'just' smoking or 'just vaping' difficulties. Although it does sound like you've strong associations with smoking making you feel awful. Not sure what to suggest. Is there anyone close to you you can contact right now, who can maybe support you better than people on a forum can?

So what gear and juice have you got to hand right now? I have my vision spinner and a kangertech aerotank with some 24mg WTA liquid And you aren't getting any satisfaction from vaping at all? I'm trying to recap things in the hope of having one of my rare flashes of inspiration, the answer to your problems is out there somewhere. How many different juices have you tried so far?

heroin is a different subject I agree , but cigarettes aren't 'just cigarettes' I know two heroin addicts, one recovering and one still struggling , both say nicotine is harder to put down. I think i misread your post somewhat , so sorry , but 9 weeks is nothing great , i have been longer
