Nic level and stopping with smoking

I am a half-pack-a-day smoker(6-10 cigs), and been smoking now for 2,5 years. I bought my vape a while ago and used it for a while but it didn't feel right. I am asking you if the absence of nicotine is the problem (vaping 0mg)? Because I don't think I am that addicted to nic, I can go for a week without a cig, and I think I'm more addicted to the act of smoking because I like to play with the smoke. That would mean I could easily switch to vaping, but there is another factor- the whole act of smoking, lighting up, the appearance of a cigarette, it really appeals to me. I do like how vapes look and feel but there is just this absence of a small ritual and the "old fashioned" classy which I like (vapes can and do look classy aswell). So I'm asking you on your opinions and advice.
