Is It Normal for Vape Cravings to Come and Go?
Yes. It is normal for vape cravings to come and go after quitting. These cravings are triggered by habits, emotions, and situations rather than a constant physical need for nicotine.
Knowing that fluctuating cravings are normal helps you stay calm during the process. For a complete overview, see our guide on how to quit vaping.
Why cravings are not constant
- Nicotine withdrawal fades quickly
- Habit cues appear only in certain moments
After the first few days, physical withdrawal is mostly complete. What remains are mental habits that surface in specific situations.
Why this pattern improves
- Each craving that passes without vaping weakens the association
- Over time, cravings become less frequent
