Uhm, yes. Thats what im working towards. Normally I vape all day at work and every second im in the car. Im wanting to work down to just enjoying it at home. This weekend for the first time I went shopping and out for 3 or 4 hours with NO vape gear. I made it ok but boy did I vape when I got home.
That's me... when I get home this computer room looks like a case of smoke bombs went off.
My fiancee refereed to the event as "the great white out" haha. It felt nice not being a slave to a stick, or a chaw or a light saber spewing vapor. I enjoy the habit but I look forward to one day just living without a crutch.
I also find NOT vaping at work gives me more time to read books and newspapers and i can concentrate and enjoying eating more.BUT...when i get home,CLOUD CITY.
I generally vape from the time I get up until I go back to bed and everywhere in-between.
Normal?... Git him!!!
Seriously? Despite 30 years of smoking - and having freak out moments when I had less than a pack of butts on hand - one of the first things I noticed is you can actually survive not vaping for extended periods of time. Without hurting anyone even.
Not that I go outta my way to practice that not vaping thing though...
Well, About a month after quitting smoking, I accidentally left my MVP 2.0 (not that I Really use that anymore) at my hotel when I was in Thailand, We were going to the Zoo. Initially i had a double freak out, because I left in in the resturant part of my hotel. If i lost it, I wouldnt have a vape device at all. But they had it at the hotel still. But then, I would have to survive all day, because I was too far away to justify going back. Even when people were smoking, I was fine. got back at like... 9 pm... almost forgot about it, but boy did I suck on that baby When I Had her back in my hand. So much so that I flooded my tank... haha.
Nice, sounds like you are starting to bring back the traditional relaxing after work/dinner cigar or pipe!
I remember my Grandfather smoking a nice Cigar after a days work.
He didn't smoke them all day until he was done working or after dinner.
I was basically trained that we don't smoke at work. I never used to go out to the smoking area to smoke on breaks as I didn't want to go back into the office and stink like stale ashtrays, so I simply never smoked during work hours. But watch out on the drive home I'd be a chain smoker.
Now, it's pretty normal, when I'm at home I vape a lot, when I was working I never vaped since I never smoked tobacco in the office it wasn't hard not to vape, but on the drive home I used to vape like crazy, chain vaping most of the time when driving. Now I'm unemployed and looking for work on my computer most days and chain vaping like crazy, but then I was also a chain smoker when on the computer when I used to smoke tobacco.
So, I'd say pretty normal sounding to me.

If you're comfortable with it, it's normal. I vape throughout the day, but whatever keep you happy!
No, not by any stretch of the imagination or defined standard. And I have to be honest, it doesn't sound like you are really committed to the cause. Are you committed to the cause? Are you going through 20ml a day? What's it gonna take for you to up your game? Probation? Do we need to put you on vape probation? I don't want to have this talk again....but I will. I'll pull this forum right over if you don't get it together.
Some people only smoked a few analogs a day and only vape a little bit a day, my friend hits his ego around 10-15 times a day and it helped him quit. I was a 2PAD smoker and I chain vape all day, I'll set it down for an hour or so but I'm usually chain vaping just like I was a chain smoker. FWIW I use an ipv v2 at 45w with a .6 dual macro coil with 3mg Alcatraz juice (the vaporatory)
Normal? NO WAY, read my sigline! THAT'S just about normal!
Dude! you obviously need to vape at work and to be more productive!
On to the serious side:
We need to commit you!
I actually drive with vape in hand... if Provape had Provari written on their mod in huge orange letters, drivers who let me by would know what I have in my hand when I wave back at them. If I don't have my Provari in my hand while I drive, it is because I am eating a banana (at least those don't need big orange letters on them for people to figure out what I'm holding.)
I do vape as much as I want when I'm in the office, but I have no problem going a full 8 hours of traveling without a vape or stick it till noon or after work if I'm at a client's site. I guess I grew into vaping when I can as I have had many jobs where I could smoke at work, but I can also easily go without a vape when I have to. I just upped my nicotine a bit to help me on the scuba gear aspect of it, though... My battery charger is sitting on my desk and keeps charging batteries shamelessly as I sit there... so much so that I don't know the difference between typing and vaping. I've become proficient at one-handed typing, that's how bad it can be when I get home from work! Wait.... I do that at work more than at home... who's normal here? Define normal!

I think it is completely normal. In a way, what you are doing is keeping the reward for doing everything to your "safe place" where you could relax and not be bothered by anyone
