Vapes are addictive af, what are you talking about?
I'm way more addicted to vapes than cigarettes. Only reason I ever touch smokes is when I can't afford a 30$ vape and can only swing 7$ for a pack to get by.
Go with an open system and a bottle of eliquid. More of an upfront investment, but with a refillable system you can adjust your nicotine levels much easier, and it's significantly cheaper in the long run.
Not physically addictive, no. The physical addiction to nicotine lasts 3-7 days, while caffeine is 7-14.
It's not the nicotine that has you truly hooked, it's the habit. It's the fact that it's always on you and you can often hit it as much as you want.
Back before shitty closed disposable systems became popular, people regularly dropped to 0 nicotine without any trouble besides some cravings for a few days (which were about the equivalent of caffeine withdrawals).
Have you stopped smoking or drinking coffee? One is way harder, let me tell you. They are both habits, but nicotine is way more mentally pervasive.
You milage may vary but stopping smoking was way harder than coffee. For me, personally.
That's the habit, not the substance. Smoking or vaping integrates into your life way more than caffeine.
Or -and hear me out- it is because it is more addictive. That helps the integration process.
