Congratulations on quitting! Do you feel you could explain the difference vaping made for tapering down, as opposed to trying to smoke fewer and fewer cigarettes?
If you were to try and cut down on cigs you can only do it by reducing the number of smoking sessions, whereas with a vaporiser you can keep your sessions static and just reduce the addictive chemical compound.
In essence it's easier to reduce your nicotine addiction if you can continue to comfort yourself with the physical habit part of the addiction
I don't know at what point it happened, but I can easily go a full day and 'forget to' vape. Smoking was never like that
If you can switch from many addictive things to just nicotine, then you can get off the nicotine alone pretty easily. It only takes about 3 days for cravings to stop.
