NIC PROTOCOL
The vaping cycle ends here.
One disposable vape delivers more nicotine than a full pack of cigarettes. Quitting it takes more than willpower. It takes a protocol built around how nicotine actually works in the brain.

The 72-hour trap
Your nicotine receptors hit maximum unoccupancy at 72 hours. Every quit attempt that fails in the first three days fails here. This is a neurochemical event, not a willpower failure.
The week-two crash
Dopamine levels drop in weeks 2-4 as your brain recalibrates. Most people interpret this as depression and reach for their vape. It is not depression. It is biology. It passes, but only if you know it is coming.
The one-hit restart
Even a single puff reactivates the full nicotine reward cascade. This is why just one does not exist with nicotine. Your receptors were not gradually upregulated. They were flooded. One hit refloods them.
Most cessation products fail here. Relapsd was built for exactly this.
How it works
ASSESS
A 7-step intake identifies your substance, your usage level, your quit history, and your highest-risk triggers. Your protocol is built from this, not a template.
RECEIVE
Your first shipment arrives within 3-5 days. Supplements formulated for your specific withdrawal biology, not a generic stack.
TRACK
The app tracks your streak, logs cravings as they happen, and adapts your protocol week by week. The system gets smarter as your data builds.
One disposable vape delivers roughly 50mg of nicotine. Your brain compensates by creating thousands of new nicotine receptors. Relapsd targets those receptors specifically.
Nicotine binds to alpha-4 beta-2 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors and triggers a dopamine surge far larger than any natural reward. Over weeks of use, the brain builds more of these receptors to compensate. When the nicotine is removed, those extra receptors sit unoccupied and signal for stimulation that is not coming. That signal is the craving. The NIC protocol is timed to the recovery of that receptor system, with support sequenced for the acute window, the dopamine dip, and the sleep disruption that follows.

The app
Emergency Craving Mode
One tap activates a 3-minute intervention when cravings peak.
Trigger Mapping
Logs every craving. After 14 days, identifies your highest-risk patterns.
Dopamine Recovery Tracker
Shows what is happening in your brain at every stage of your protocol.
Sleep Protocol
Nicotine affects sleep architecture. The app tracks sleep quality against your streak.
Relapse Recovery
If you relapse, the app restarts without shame and analyzes what happened.
Streak Vault
Every previous streak is preserved. Relapse does not erase your history.
“I had tried four times before this. The difference was knowing why week two was going to be hard before it happened. I was ready for it.”
devon
“The emergency mode is the only reason day 3 did not end it. Three minutes, every time, until the craving passed.”
casey
“I logged every craving for two weeks. Seeing the pattern, always after lunch, was the thing that finally let me get ahead of it.”
