Day 21... The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

Oh, there are so many downsides!!!! Twenty-one days into this, and I figured I might as well post the negative aspects I have found. I did post something similar on someone elses post before, but I wanted it here, to remind me just why I quit analogs. Enjoy!

1. I can actually smell what smokers, farts, poo, non-bathers, the city itself, etc. smell like. This is annoying. I really could have done without smelling all of these for eternity. I have a LOT of friends and family who smoke (future vapers, they just don't know it yet) and I don't like the smell at all right after they have had a cigarette. I MUST CONVERT THEM SOON!!!!!! :eek:)

2. I can taste things. Several foods I USED to enjoy are actually pretty disgusting. Also, my tap water taste like ..... I used to think it didn't taste.
I LOVED Life cereal, now I don't. Mac & Cheese used to be one of my favorite sides, but now it just tastes so...artificial. Back to Kraft instead of the cheap ..... Great. On the plus side, my beer tastes MUCH better. More beer, less mac and cheese. I can deal.

3. Now that I actually HAVE taste buds I want to try every damn e-liquid out there and I keep spending my free money doing so. (Free money, hahaha, yeah right) I think I'm up to 30 some different flavors, but I HAVE been able to find three-four vapes that I REALLY enjoy. I hear that with some people this "Search for the Holy Juice" can take a month or more.

4. Analogs used to keep me on a schedule. Wake up, smoke. Drink coffee, smoke. Drive, smoke. Eat, smoke. Now I just vape whenever I want to and go about my day with my head in the clouds without "planning" for my next cig. Now I'm just a damned free bird type of girl. But I'm not complaining, and niether is anyone else.

5. I have had to research as much as possible about PV's in order to educate those around me, and I'm not even close, nor do I think I will ever know all there is to know about the vaping industry. I would really like to meet with other vapers and try their PV's though, just to see what the different ones out there are like. Especially mods.

6. I'm probably going to live a longer life now, so I'm going to have to grow old and worry about falling down and breaking a hip. This is not good. Who wants to hobble around at 102? Not this girl. I wasn't worried about growing old when I was busy killing myself with my analogs. ..... Plastic surgery and metal parts just don't appeal to me. At least I'll be able to act like I'm senial and blame it on my age.

7. Sooo many people want to try my PV, which uses up my juice. This stuff costs me $5-10 bucks and last me a week!!! Pennies add up, eventually. :eek:) No really, I'm kinda frugile. Or selfish. Whatever you wanna call it. I'm cool with you trying it, but I now know that if you're still smoking analogs, you aren't getting the full flavor of this juice anyway. Buy your own. Then we can swap. (Juice you pervert.)

BTW: I LOVE vaping!!!!!!!!!!!!! I always wanted a hobby...

This blog post made me laugh so hard! It's so true, but it's just so damned funny! Awww, come on...you don't wanna get old and become a cyborg?
I completely understand the smell and taste thing. I thought the smells wafting over from Greely were bad when I was smoking. Now they're even worse. Eau de cow poo, anyone? Super spicy food used to be great when I had dead taste buds. Now it still tastes good, but it lights my mouth on fire. I've never had to order a glass of milk with my spicy con queso before. Oh well. Milk is supposed to be good for me anyway.
 
HAHAHAHAH. Nice dude. I agree. I think my bf smells gross now, because he still smokes...and he only has one or two cigarettes at night. Congrats on getting an ego. I just got a Vaprlife Turbo AV and I love it. If you have any juices you don't like..lemme know.
 
I agree with WomanOfHeart. This post made me grin. On the flip side of your food taste problem, I have found I am much less picky than anyone I know because it seems like EVERYTHING tastes better (therefore the reason I need to go on a diet before I blow up to gigantic proportions...). And yes, spicy things do light me on fire in a way they did not when I was a smoker. I kind of miss the schedule analogs had me on, but on the other hand, I seem to get so much more done when i don't have to stop to light up and stand outside for a while to smoke. Now I just work right on through after taking a hit or two on my PV.

Thanks for the smile :)
 
I love your story and blog account! I am just starting my journey trying out everything and am eager to see what lies ahead over the next couple of weeks. Keep the blog account coming!
 
I too never thought that my poo smelled sooooo awful! Also other smokers, my house, my birds, taste of tap water, all different. Some are better and some are REALLY bad!!!
I laughed at your post also! as I am going through the same experiences!
I thought I was sick, or had eaten something bad at first, then realized "naww... it's because I don't smoke anymore! GREAT! now I have to REteach my tastebuds and nose!"
