I know right? Who knew it would turn out into a full blown hobby.I'm amazed at how much I enjoy everything about it.

You, me, and @BreSha6869 all joined around the same time and we are all still here!I'm grateful for this forum as well that taught me so much, and having lots of vaping buddies.
However improbable, an invention came along that can be entirely supereior to smoking. Making that transition wasn't effortless for me. During the first few weeks vaping made me slightly queasy (I figured that would pass and it idid). I hated the taste of all the pre mix flavors I tried (because they were way way too strong). Despite some discomforts I stuck with it because vaping reduced my daily cigs 80% from day one with no effort, meaning it might work. To get rid of the last 5 daily cigarettes I had to push myself through a "cold turkey" phase that was low stress because I was only missing 5 cigs instead of 25. After a month and a half of no cigs I tried one to see what would happen. It tasted bad. There was no temptation to have another. Even after all that it was at least another year + to fully adjust to vaping. For about 18 months I could sense subtle healing, as might happen after a major surgery. My enjoyment of vaping increased as the perceived healing progressed. Now I have this hobby/habit I enjoy in many different ways that costs pennies a day. What's not to like about that?Was just sitting here vaping and thinking to myself how much I enjoy it. I'm still amazed that after 30+ years of smoking, never going more than a week or two without a cigarette, that I'm into my 2nd year of not smoking. Still amazes me.
A big CONGRATS to all of us no matter where we are in the journey!
I give Hon Lic credit as inventor of the modern ecig and Gilbert credit for the original inspiration and early work. Who is Oliver?
Ah, okay. I wonder sometimes how infuential this forum is. Lots of ideas and trends percolate here. How many of them make it into the wild? Apparently there is discusion of vaping in places like facebook but I cannot figure out how to have an even handed dialog there. Conversations are shared. Nobody owns them.The guy who started this website and pops in from time to time?
