My whole reason for switching to vaping was to STOP smoking.
I wish the people around where I work would feel more bad about their smoking.The fact you're not smoking, while living with a smoker is amazing. I'm lucky, my partner never smoked and hated that I did. I'd be in a heap of trouble if I lived with a smoker. The attraction of cigarettes is too strong. But staying a non-smoker at this time is a stronger desire.
I find it interesting that smokers still try to offer me a cigarette. Often perfect strangers do. I work in an office next to a hotel. I still go outside to vape as I enjoyed the breaks when I was a smoker. Almost daily a stranger offers me a smoke. And when I ask why, they say they know someone who vapes, but always bums one. I tell them I don't bum them, nor do I want one, but I do thank them even though I think they're just trying to make themselves feel less bad about themselves for smoking.
Oh yeah, definitely.Haha. I couldn't find my pv last night and ended up buying a pack of cigs(first pack in 2 weeks) and found myself very disappointed in the amount of smoke. I don't vape anything fancy but I am used to clouds. Anyone else who has smoked since starting vaping been disappointed by this?
Oh yeah, definitely.
I still smoke a cigarette whenever I feel like it, which is maybe once every few months.
And it never ceases to me amaze me how little vapor they put out, and how little throat hit they have.

Yeah, I suppose I do this, too, meaning I've had 4 cigarettes since last October. Not even whole ones as I find them gross now.Oh yeah, definitely.

They act superior when I'm sitting there with my PV and they're burning up their paychecks....lol
It's just that the cracks and constant criticism wear on me at times.Well you just be happy you're not damaging your lungs and just don't let their misplaced superiority get to you!

Most of the time I'm content in knowing that I'm spending far less even on my ProVari addiction than they are on their paper and weeds addiction.
just as dylanlee said the smoke production is disappointing but there is just something about smoking that vaping doesn't quite satisfy. I've been vaping for about 6 months now and i still smoke a pack or two a week. i can't even explain what it is. i almost feel like i enjoy smoking cigarettes because i know i shouldn't. that sounds dumb nd i know that nobody thinks I'm kool (hehe) for smoking but i almost feel like the rebellious side of me drives me to buy a pack. and I'm addicted to the process and finality of it all. vaping is almost too easy if that makes sense. with vaping i fill up my tank and am set for a day or two. or when I'm dripping its just add a few drops now and then. with cigarettes its more of an experience. i go to the gas station, tell the cashier what i want and i still get a tingly feeling like I'm being bad when the guy asks for my ID. and like i said i love the finality of a cigarette. with vaping there is no real beginning and end. i sort of just start vaping and then...vape some more and then...vape a little more...and a little more...and so on. with a cigarette i have to go outside, light it (the beginning) and then watch it slowly shrink smaller and smaller until i get up and crush the ..... i like that. i like how it is its own activity whereas vaping can be done while simultaneously doing almost anything else. i believe that I'm more habitually addicted than i am to the actual nicotine
. All it would take is one and I simply can't - NO WON'T permit that to happen.[/QUOTE said:Been there, done that. Twice. Vaping got me off analogs for good and I wont risk even just one.
I've only been smoke free for a week. I got my VV eGo type starter kit in the mail one week ago today. I haven't had a cigarette since taking my first hit from the pv. I've been very, very tempted and came really close to lighting up on Saturday. I just chain vaped for about 5 minutes and the urge subsided.
I know myself too well - if I justify smoking even one cigarette, I'll be able to justify smoking another... and another. I'd be back to a PAD within days. It helps tremendously that my wife tells me every day how proud of me she is for not smoking. So, one week down, forever to go.
I do agree that I miss being able to start and finish a cigarette and have it be it's own thing. With vaping, you're never really done. I do enjoy the vapor production and flavors more. There are some things about smoking I like more, but I don't miss my hands and clothes smelling.
