Hi squilly...Welcome..and congrats on your 3 weeks quit....Yes very normal ugly side effect of this quit thing...(My dog still wont forgive me)..but luckily it also goes away and you will become yourself soon...Ask everybodys forgiveness in advance....!!!

Welcome squilly and congratulations on over 2 weeks smoke free, well done! The mood swings and irritability are perfectly normal especially as you approach 3 weeks and head into the first stage of the 'Icky Threes' - see link below to explain further - worth a read....

Well done on not caving and smoking and opting for the vape - perhaps a visit to your health food shop for herbal supplements to help with these mood swings as you don't want to get dependent on the vaping and replace one habit with another....

We look forward to reading your progress

PS Can you confirm your stop date for your milestone badges when you get a chance....
