Back on the forum, not back on Analogs

[Divreon]

So disappeared for a bit, mostly because I didn't want to want more toys for this new hobby.

Grabbed my 510 kit at health cabin at the end of October. Went through all their juice by end of November. Been mixing my own PG and lorann peppermint mix and combining it with johnson creek menthol since. Haven't smoked analogs since.

I am missing the fire. I slightly miss the feeling of finishing a cigarette, it seems like every time my battery goes its just a feeling of annoyance. I do however like the fact that no matter when I head outside, I can simply pocket my 510 when the smokers are done, and walk back inside without having to short a cigarette, or hang out in the cold for longer than necessary..

The only other annoying thing is how many people ask me "Did you get that to quit?" my response is simple, and always confuses people. "No, I got it so that I could smoke more." I can smoke in my own home with my extremely allergy sensitive wife. I can smoke at work, in bars, pretty much anywhere anytime that I can get my 510 to my lips discreetly.

Despite common wisdom, I love my round mouth pieces, I love my automatic, and I haven't found the need for the PCC or the PT yet. I'd like them, but so far, its a rare time when I have a situation where I'd need them.

So, Doing well on without analogs. Just thought I'd let everyone know.

"No, I got it so that I could smoke more."

Good answer!
I'll use that. lol

I have yet to vap around people I don't know. Most my friends have seen my vap and they seems to support me quitting analogs. So far so good for me!

Good to hear you are doing well. I love that answer you gave. People are so funny, I used to get bombarded by 'preachers' that passed by, usually ex-smokers telling me how bad it was. A few times I got reamed by people telling me I should not be smoking near a building where others had to pass by. Geez...Yesterday a woman tried to bum a smoke and I showed her that I was not smoking. She was interested and may visit the forum.

With so many people looking out for me, I should be the healthiest, happiest person in the world, eh?

If this sort of thing happened to me i don't know how well i would handle it. ive read a few stories here about this and it gets me mad each time. I am normally a calm person but if i am going out of my way to be polite by taking my seemingly harmless habit (vaping) out of the way of people and i still get greeted with aggression i will in turn rip them a new one.

the perfume these people wear ON THEIR SKIN has more chemicals than the vape does and i have to endure that!!!! (we use no scented items in my house. everything is unscented, soap laundry stuff, cleaners you name it) so this really bothers me when i have to be subjected to it. these people are hypocrites and that is my BIGEST pet peeve

EDIT: i should note that i do smoke and i know this has a scent, while i smoke outside and stay away from others the odor still lingers on my clothes. i do MY BEST to minimise this by making sure im in a well ventilated area.

My daughter-in-law has a friend that is practically dying from smoking. She has been on a ventilator numerous times. She is still smoking although only 5 cigarettes a day but having trouble completely quitting.. My daughter in law knows I vape ecigs and asked me about them. She had told her friend about them. I told her to tell her friend to visit this forum and suggested she get a 510. I also told her to call me and I would be glad to explain it to her. She has not called me. I would love to help her. This could actually save her life. Some people just think they are doomed and that there is nothing they can do or think there is nothing out their, I'm disappointed that she has not called. I would love to help her.
