Any ideas what it is in cigarettes that make them satisfying to smoke? Don't get me wrong, I'm finding myself completely satisfied vaping, but it is a different kind of satisfaction. I'm starting to wonder if it isn't the nicotine I was hooked on.

Among the chemicals in cigarettes that amplify addiction are ammonia and MAOI's:

Welcome to ECF! You're absolutely correct. Nicotine is just 1 of the many many chemicals in cigarettes!! Those other chemicals are wayyyy worse in my opinion. The info that was linked to you should be able to answer all of your questions.
Perhaps we miss making fire as a primal human urge. My theory, mine all mine!
I kinda miss using my lighters, tried to light my eGo once.

That's probably why I love to build my own coils, like getting out the Ronson butane torch, to set the coils an oxidize the SS mesh. May even solder something with it one day.
Thanks for the references. Guess I should have searched around a bit before asking. Nevertheless, all good reads.
I've really only been vaping for a couple days, but I too miss the whole lighting ritual a little. I sometime think to myself that surely there must be some way to light this thing!

Lighting an eGo is probably even worse than tossing it out the car window when you're finished with it.
VapoJoe86 I'm leaning more toward the vape as well. Just couldn't help but notice there seemed to be some sort of missing component each time I pulled out the e cig. I think, for me, it might be the softness of the smoke versus the vapor. But the more I vape, the more it becomes less of an issue. The taste of the vapor is just too seductive to want to go back.
I was unhappy my first several tries because 1) the ecigs were thicker than what I'd been smoking; 2) they were heavier; couldn't very well hold them just in your lips 2) most were rigid and unsatisfying to bite down on 4) there was no natural beginning and end to a smoke session; I could probably go on. But it didn't take long before those things no longer bothered me. I think the biggest thing was the lack of natural progression through a "smoke" session; my "smokes" are no longer a convenient timer! Anyway, I've made the adjustments and my gratitude at beating the smoking addiction is huge!
