Looking for any tips and tricks. I know they give you vivid nightmares if you keep them on overnight so I'm planning on removing it at least an hour or two before bed time.

Looking to quit (again) since I relapsed last week and bought a vape. But my health is getting worse, notice I've got a bad cough and it doesn't seem like vaping is helping, so now's as good a time as any to try.

Thanks if you got any tips.

I think you may have rough nights even if you remove it before bed. Even going from cigs to vapes messed with my nights but it gets better and my entire respiratory system thanks me because I don't get sinus infections like I used to. Also you may want to look in to some of the other nicotine replacement stuff like the pouches or inhalers for when you REALLY need a cigarette because depending on the vape liquid it could make your cough worse for a while.

I'm gonna see tomorrow how one patch effects me. I'll take it off two hours before bed. If it's bad with the nightmares I could always cut it up like @Dickey_Butts@hexbear.net said and make it a small dose.
