Got out of class all happy to go home and study for my coming exam (differential equations :glare:). Did my 15 minutes on the freeway and was coming to a stop sign on the rural road to my house when "Pop, flub, flub, flub...". Really feel lucky that my flat was not on the freeway doing 70. Anyway pull into the parking lot (lucky again to have a nice flat area to change my flat) and proceed to get the spare, jack, etc. out to change the tier. Spare is really low on air :facepalm:. But luck again strikes as I have a bicycle pump. So it is getting warm, I am putting air into the flat and think that has to be enough... read the tire.. 60 PSI!??? What the heck man? OK, I have been vaping for around 3 months now and damn if I did not feel the need for a cigarette. It is just old habit when these little diversions pop up to have a smoke. I still have 4 or 5 packs of smokes from my last carton and have been giving them away to smokers (they get a little vape suggestion) but I was thinking how good a smoke would be. Well I took a deep breath, and realized how nice it was to be able to take a deep breath. Picked up my ProVari, added some fresh MBV WhiteOut and took a nice long draw. Changed my flat and carried on. I passed the test :blush:. That was the closest call I have had so far, what was yours?

Huge fight with Hubby...ran to the garage and was looking for the pack I left in there when I started vaping and realized I didn't want the cigs anymore. Found the cigs and lit one...smelled it and nearly gagged...ran into the house and found my blueberry vape...I have not even wanted one again since that day...absolutely no desire...

I haven't had a close call per say, but I've found many little nuances where I'm sitting on couch watching TV, then get up to do some task while doing said task I get this ominous feeling that something is wrong so I look around and all is ok, but the feeling won't leave then after a few moments I think look at the ashtray to see if your smoke is in there safely and hasn't fallen out, well low and behold there is no ashtray and of course no cigarette. It's strange how addicted we get to the many many facets involved with smoking. I've had many of these type of occurrences, all part of how habitual we are.

I had a very stressful day at the 3 week mark and I was on the way home from an estimate. I wanted to stop so bad and buy a pack. But I picked up my little 808 that has some 24mg MBV Wintergreen for just such an occasion, and hit that a couple of times. (I have an eGo-C Twist w/eVod and a Spinner w/Protank). I was itchy the rest of the day (from the cravings, not the liquid) and managed to power through. I just kept telling myself that tomorrow would be better, and it was.

when I first switched to vaping I had 2 supervisors that where real .... heads and I was crazy busy at that job and they used to mess with me all night long on IM and expect me to answer with in seconds no matter how busy I was or they would berate me. I would just put some 36mg juice in my atty and say to my self they are not going to make me smoke over and over again and vape my brains out. man I hated that job and they had a horrible management team. Life is good where I'm at now
