I tried it looking for a more effective nicotine delivery method than foul lozenges. I am extremely happy, I get all the joys I miss from cigarettes plus it is a far superior experience. I did not expect it would be not only a replacement for smoking, but even more enjoyable of a hobby.

Also, I can vape anywhere without my smoke bothering anyone, ruining good clothes or damaging expensive equipment. It's a great conversation piece as well. Overall, it has improved my mood and well-being; I don't feel like I'm having to continually and willfully deprive myself of doing something that I really wish I could be doing (analogs), and I am pretty certain now that the ability to get good amounts of nicotine is directly related to cognitive abilities.

The idea that I can vape indefinitely, without feeling that I'm doing something bad or needing to quit is a good feeling. I like the ability to control how much (if any) nicotine I am getting at any time, and enjoy discovering new flavors. As a hobby, this is pretty inexpensive, and I look forward to all the different equipment and juices in my future.

I look forward to the technology improving as well, seems like it is not quite there for what the experience requires (batteries, leakages etc) though I say that while stuck with stock equipment, waiting for my first PV mod to arrive.

So I am not approaching e-cigs as a way to quit anything, though I wish I would have had them when I did give up actual cigarettes, I think it would have been far less traumatic of an experience to do so. In fact I feel I never fully recovered from the trauma of quitting cigarettes until discovering vaping.
