Try by weaning yourself off, try zero nic- Set a quit date and start vaping less, day by day until you are not vaping by your quit date, then make an effort not to buy any vape products and stick firm to your quit date. Buy gum, hard candy, suckers, and use them to help with any craving instead of vaping.
I vape to quit my 30+ year cigarette smoking addiction- I haven't touched one cigarette since my quit date of 12/1/2014 . Trust me it was hard in the beginning, much will power needed, but you can do it if you really want to quit.

Think @SnapDragon NY has given about the best advice. Only thing I might add is be around those encouraging you to quit, yet not being pushy with it. Let your quitting be organic.
Matter of fact, distract yourself from the goal a bit. If you're not in a relationship you might try finding yourself a girl or boy friend as suits you. Let yourself realize you need to quit for them. Don't quit save for your own desire in being with them.
The distraction can help you focus as contradictory as it sounds. For example you often will not find happiness by looking for it. Once you stop looking it can find you.
Also know the relationship bit helps. Wife seemed to push me to vape instead of smoke. Asked her why and she told me, "I might want you around longer." Forget dying for somebody, that's easy, living for 'em that's the courageous thing to do.

Many quit by going "cold turkey" - just quit buying and vaping, will power and your desire to quit vaping maybe all you need. Like @MyMagicMist said, find distractions, maybe a job if you are not working, a relationship, gum,suckers and hard candy as substitutes. Find better ways to spend your money and save for that , put the money you would have spent on vaping into a jar and save for something special and treat yourself.
Do you have friends that vape? Give them your gear. That way, you won't be tempted to use it. Suck on hard candy or chew gum instead. You're still a teenager. Go skateboarding. Play video games. Do what 18 year olds do. If that doesn't suit you, the military is always hiring.
Thank you so much for the tips
Th
Thank you to everyone who’s giving me tips. There were things I hadn’t even thought of that could help. You guys are all awesome
What were you vaping? Strong small pod system like the Juul (5 % nic)? If so, that could be the issue. If you want to quit, then do as other said, or... find a different device and use much lower nicotine levels. Then taper off.
Can you please explain why (specifically) you don't feel good after vaping?
I feel crappy like I don’t want to do anything and then I avoid things that I would usually want to do. Sometimes also physically like I get a hollow feeling in my stomach. Not to the point of wanting to throw up though, it’s just uncomfortable.
Yeah juul
Mom used to tell about how when she was 16 and wanted to smoke. My Pap told her she could wait until she was 18, the legal age at the time. On the day she turned 18 Pap asked her a simple question. "You've been 18 years without smoking, why do you need it now?"
This is the same Pap that learned to swim by falling off a log in the river while there alone. More and more as I live life, find myself being quiet like him. Often it's a struggle to articulate what is desired said, correctly so as to not hurt.
Pap believed truth never took many words. Think I do too.

I smoked for 34 years before switching to vaping. Ain't had a ciggy since. Yet, I don't use a nic level that high, never did. That's probably what's making you feel off.
Nicotine is used in pesticides (mainly for spraying plants such as rose bushes). If your body is not accustomed to it, it will make you feel ill. If you insist on vaping, use something with a much lower nicotine level, like maybe 1 or 2 percent. Zero would be better. They make them with no nicotine at all.
Haha, similar situation. I am 21 and I would like to quit vaping, but something is not working out very well
A friend of mine quit by limiting the time he allowed himself to vape each day and then every week shortened the time slot. Many day I seen him anxiously waiting for 10 o'clock, then 11, then12 and so on, he has never fell back into smoking or vaping again.
