<p>I believe the Replace By Fee (RBF) mechanism requires that you use at least one of the same inputs. You can only use RBF if the original transaction explicitly allows RBF.</p>
<p>Without RBF, so far as I know, the best you can do is issue a second transaction that includes the same inputs and more; which spends the higher amount and which has a much higher fee. You can then <em>hope</em> that the higher-fee transaction  gets mined / confirmed first. This would cause the original transaction to remain unconfirmed.</p>

I believe the Replace By Fee (RBF) mechanism requires that you use at least one of the same inputs. You can only use RBF if the original transaction explicitly allows RBF.

Without RBF, so far as I know, the best you can do is issue a second transaction that includes the same inputs and more; which spends the higher amount and which has a much higher fee. You can then *hope* that the higher-fee transaction gets mined / confirmed first. This would cause the original transaction to remain unconfirmed.
