@Bspaar Welcome to the Ex and don't be discouraged. Quitting is a journey and by learning about nicotine addiction and creating a quit plan, you'll increase your chances of quitting. It took me 50 years and multiple attempts to finally get it right.
No matter the source, nicotine is an addictive chemical so yes it can be hard to quit. The fact that you vape almost anywhere doesn't make it any easier. The same principles to quit smoking will apply to your quit. Knowledge and preparation has made quitting possible for many of us. I never did either in the past and I was never successful. I was planning my quit this time and found the Ex a week before my quit date. I finally learned how to quit and how important support from other quitters can be. Read lots of material on the site. This link is a great place to start.
Quitting Guides
There are two components to quitting. There is the physical addiction, but also the psychological part that becomes tied to our behaviors. Working through the psychological component takes time, so don't fault yourself. It's important to create tools to us and create new associations to replace vaping. Have you considered a quit aid?
