Anyone else drinking less coffee?
I've been vaping for about 4-1/2 months now and I have noticed that for at least the last month I have been drinking significantly less coffee. I used to (when smoking) brew a 5-mug pot in the morning, my wife would have 1 mug, I would have a couple during the morning, finish off a couple more in the afternoon, then brew up another 2 or 3 mug pot after the evening news and drink that through the evening until I went to bed (caffeine didn't seem to keep me awake).
Lately I haven't been brewing that 2nd pot in the evening and I'm even discarding the last cup in the 1st pot.
Since I am vaping a lot, and I certainly enjoy it more than smoking, I'm wondering if I am using nicotine as a direct replacement for the caffeine that I am no longer consuming.

I am still drinking the same amount of coffee; however, since my taste has improved I do not enjoy it as much; taste more bitter to me than when I was smoking. This is the one thing I miss the about smoking; drinking coffee and smoking. I like vaping better with just about everything, including drinking. However, many people will probably disagree with me, but I liked smoking while drinking coffee significantly more compared to vaping and drinking coffee.

That's interesting, mwahle,
I enjoy my morning coffee (1/2 caf) while I vape, but not as much as when I smoked. In the evenings, however, I LOVE vaping with my decaf. It is my favorite time to vape. We are all unique, no?

Yes, we all are unique; if we were not it would be a boring world
.
I am actually vaping and drinking coffee as I write this. It is not that I do not like it; I just do not enjoy it as much.

I'm definitely drinking a little less coffee now, but it's because the caffeine seems to be affecting me more than it did when I smoked analogs. I'm used to drinking coffee morning, noon, and night...now it's more like morning, and maybe 1 or 2 cups in the late afternoon/early evening. Any more than that, and I get a little anxious. Darn it.

12 cups or more a day. Every day. For years.
Vaping didn't dampen that coffee intake at all. Shoot, given the price of coffee I almost wish it would!
Sense of taste improves after stopping smoking so if the coffee doesn't taste as good now, mebbe wash the coffee pot?

Hmm... just had a cup (5 minutes ago) while vaping & watching the Olympics (we picked up a silver in Nordic Combined - All Right!!). Was paying enough attention to the coffee to notice it tasted better than I remember from pre-ecig days. I think what I'm cutting out is a lot of the sip-cool-reheat-repeat cups I used to drink without paying much attention to what I was actually drinking. And I know I am drinking more water lately to avoid the dehydrating effects of vg/pg, but I also know that for a couple months at least that it was "in addition" to coffee, more than "instead of".
and Yes - at the price of coffee I won't complain about drinking less

I as well drink a lot of coffee, on average about 8-10 cups a day all the way up till bedtime.
One thing I have noticed is that I am using far less sugar and syrup (love my Irish cream and vanilla).

Didn't ntice but now that you mention it my coffee intake has decreased dramatically. I don't know if it's from vaping but it has sure on the same time frame.
