Congrats, Yaypudding. We started our Reo journey more or less at the same time. Still envious of that painted Reo of yours.
Congrats, Yaypudding. This is what happen after to you and fellow vapers when u stop taking analog, kind of long but that's what happening to our body.
• 20 minutes
Your blood pressure, pulse rate and the temperature of your hands and feet have returned to normal.
• 8 hours
Remaining nicotine in your bloodstream has fallen to 6.25% of normal peak daily levels, a 93.75% reduction.
• 12 hours
Your blood oxygen level has increased to normal. Carbon monoxide levels have dropped to normal.
• 24 hours
Anxieties have peaked in intensity and within two weeks should return to near pre-cessation levels.
• 48 hours
Damaged nerve endings have started to regrow and your sense of smell and taste are beginning to return to normal. Cessation anger and irritability will have peaked.
• 72 hours
Your entire body will test 100% nicotine-free and over 90% of all nicotine metabolites (the chemicals it breaks down into) will now have passed from your body via your urine. Symptoms of chemical withdrawal have peaked in intensity, including restlessness. The number of cue induced crave episodes experienced during any quitting day have peaked for the "average" ex-user. Lung bronchial tubes leading to air sacs (alveoli) are beginning to relax in recovering smokers. Breathing is becoming easier and your lung's functional abilities are starting to increase.
• 5 - 8 days
The "average" ex-smoker will encounter an "average" of three cue induced crave episodes per day. Although we may not be "average" and although serious cessation time distortion can make minutes feel like hours, it is unlikely that any single episode will last longer than 3 minutes. Keep a clock handy and time them.
• 10 days
10 days - The "average" ex-user is down to encountering less than two crave episodes per day, each less than 3 minutes.
• 10 days to 2 weeks
Recovery has likely progressed to the point where your addiction is no longer doing the talking. Blood circulation in your gums and teeth are now similar to that of a non-user.
• 2 to 4 weeks
Cessation related anger, anxiety, difficulty concentrating, impatience, insomnia, restlessness and depression have ended. If still experiencing any of these symptoms get seen and evaluated by your physician.
• 21 days
Brain acetylcholine receptor counts that were up-regulated in response to nicotine's presence have now down-regulated and receptor binding has returned to levels seen in the brains of non-smokers.
• 2 weeks to 3 months
Your heart attack risk has started to drop. Your lung function is beginning to improve.
• 3 weeks to 3 months
Your circulation has substantially improved. Walking has become easier. Your chronic cough, if any, has likely disappeared. If not, get seen by a doctor, and sooner if at all concerned, as a chronic cough can be a sign of lung cancer.
• 8 weeks
Insulin resistance in smokers has normalized despite average weight gain of 2.7 kg (1997 study).
• 1 to 9 months
Any smoking related sinus congestion, fatigue or shortness of breath has decreased. Cilia have regrown in your lungs, thereby increasing their ability to handle mucus, keep your lungs clean and reduce infections. Your body's overall energy has increased.
• 1 year
Your excess risk of coronary heart disease, heart attack and stroke has dropped to less than half that of a smoker.
and the list go on and on...

Thanks everyone for the encouraging words.
Thanks Della Cirque, everyone needs a lil travolta now and then.
Thanks Matthee, well at least you can look out your window on to majestic landscapes, that should help.
@dragonl I have experienced many of those, but the biggest benefit for me was easing my breathing, but not the way you would expect. I had very bad heartburn, acid reflux, and it would give me a lot of gas, this would push up on my chest, which would make it harder to breathe. Since I started vaping, my acid reflux attacks have virtually stopped, I'm off my reflux pills and the labored breathing has stopped.

Congratulations, yaypudding!!! The next 6 months will go by in a flash and when you reach your first year, You'll look back in surprise at just how easy it was. I'm so happy for you! 
Congrats! I'll reach my half year mark soon, and since I've finally TRULY gotten over the nasty habit of smoking, I'm sure I'll make it without batting an eye. The DIY juices I've finally perfected (IMO) and my new vv/vw PV will definitely help! Keep vaping my friend!!!
