Quit vaping · Survival kit

The craving isn’t the hard part. The slip is.

The First 72 Hours is a window-by-window plan for the first three days of quitting. It’s for people who reach for the vape the second they wake up, and again at their desk at 3pm.

Why this kit exists

Here’s the moment nobody plans for.

It’s day two. You’ve been strong for thirty-odd hours. Then someone offers a hit, or the afternoon gets heavy, and you take one. And then you sit there thinking:

“Well, that’s it. I’ve ruined it.”

That thought ends a lot of quit attempts. Not because one hit undoes anything, but because nothing told you what to do next.

You’ve probably read the tips. Drink water. Stay busy. None of that is wrong. It just runs out at the exact moment you need it most.

  1. i.

    One trigger, one action per window. Nothing to memorise. You only ever need the next 90 seconds.

  2. ii.

    The slip is planned for. It has its own page, and you’ll know where it is before you need it.

  3. iii.

    You keep score. Days clean, cravings beaten, slips recovered. Proof you can see, even on days you can’t feel it.

How it works · Hour 0 to 72

Five windows. One trigger, one 90‑second action each.

The first three days are where withdrawal usually hits hardest. The kit splits them into the five moments most likely to break a quit, in the order they arrive.

  1. Hours 0–4

    Hour 0–4 · Morning of day one

    The first four hours

    The trigger

    Waking up and reaching for the vape before you’re fully conscious.

    Your 90-second action

    Water first, feet on the floor, leave the room.

  2. Night 1

    Evening & bedtime · Day one

    The first night

    The trigger

    Winding down on the couch or in bed: the “reward” moment after a long day.

    Your 90-second action

    Box breathing, six rounds.

    Try one round below ↓
  3. Day 2 AM

    Wake-up · Day two

    The morning of day two

    The trigger

    Waking up foggy and flat, and the “just one, to get going” thought.

    Your 90-second action

    Rate it and watch it.

  4. Day 2 · 3pm

    Around 3pm · Day two

    The afternoon crash

    The trigger

    Mid-afternoon slump at your desk, usually right before or after something stressful.

    Your 90-second action

    Take the break, without the vape.

    The window most desk vapers lose.

  5. Day 3 PM

    Evening · Day three

    The evening of day three

    The trigger

    Feeling like you’ve earned it, or being around alcohol or people who vape.

    Your 90-second action

    Count what you’ve already paid.

Slip protocol · Page 10

“I vaped once.”

Read this page the moment it happens. Not tomorrow. Now.

One slip doesn’t reset the clock.

A slip is one hit or one session. A relapse is deciding the quit is over. Most quits don’t die from the hit. They die from “well, I’ve ruined it, so I might as well.”

Next 10 minutes

  1. Put it down. If it’s yours, bin it, outside.
  2. Drink a full glass of water.
  3. Say: “That was a slip. I’m still quitting.”
  4. Do six rounds of box breathing.

Before your next meal

  1. Write one line: what time, where, what you were feeling.
  2. Find which window it matched. That’s your weak spot.
  3. Pick the one change you’ll make next time.
  4. Eat your meal. You’re back on track.

On the tracker you don’t erase your days. You add one to slips recovered.

What’s inside

Fourteen pages. Short on purpose.

Read it once, start to finish, the night before. Then follow it one window at a time.

From the SOS card · Try one round

In 4. Hold 4. Out 4. Hold 4.

The hit you crave is mostly a deep inhale and a slow exhale. Box breathing gives your body the same rhythm, without the nicotine.

Six rounds take about 90 seconds. Count on your fingers so your hands are busy.

Who made this

Hi, I’m Dima.

I vaped for five years, all day. It was the first thing I reached for in the morning and the last thing I put down at night.

At some point I realised I wasn’t vaping because I enjoyed it. I was vaping so I wouldn’t feel the need to.

I quit on 6 February 2024. That’s why I built this kit. I know how loud the craving gets at 3pm on a bad day.

You don’t have to do it perfectly. You just have to get through the next window. This kit shows you how.

Questions

What exactly am I buying?

A PDF. The First 72 Hours is 14 pages. The bundle adds The 30-Day Quit System, another 13 pages. Nothing physical is shipped.

How do I get it?

Straight after payment you land on a download page, and we email the PDF to the address you used at checkout. If it hasn’t arrived in a few minutes, check spam, then write to {{SUPPORT_EMAIL}}.

Can I read it on my phone?

Yes. It reads on a phone, and it prints on ordinary paper if you’d rather tick the tracker with a pen.

Is this medical advice?

No. It’s a self-help plan written by someone who quit, not medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. If you have a health condition, are pregnant or take regular medication, talk to a doctor or pharmacist.

Can I use nicotine patches or gum with it?

Yes. The kit says so on page 4: using them is not cheating. Ask a pharmacist or doctor whether they make sense for you, and which strength.

What if I slip?

Go to page 10. It tells you what to do in the next ten minutes and before your next meal. You don’t restart from hour zero; you pick up the window you’re in.

Is it a subscription?

No. One payment, once. No account to create.

What’s your refund policy?

If it isn’t useful, email {{SUPPORT_EMAIL}} within 14 days of buying and we’ll refund you in full. Details on the refund page.

Important

This kit is a self-help plan, not medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. Nicotine replacement products and prescription medicines can make quitting easier. Talk to a doctor or pharmacist about what’s right for you, especially if you’re pregnant, take regular medication, or have a heart or mental health condition. If withdrawal brings on low mood that doesn’t lift, or you feel unwell, contact a healthcare professional.
