Crazy: Vaping is saving me $ in the weirdest places!!

[tygertyger]

My little boy went for his nap, so I seized the opportunity to grab a hot shower.... ahhhh....

But something weird has been happening lately.... I haven't switched shampoos, and I've been using the same amount as always.... but lately it lathers like CRAZY and takes forever to rinse! I have to remember to cut back a little.... what's going on!?

Today I think I figured it out..... my hair isn't full of SMOKE and is cleaner and easier to shampoo!! LOL... didn't see THAT one coming!!

The benefits just keep a'comin'!!....

Ah yeah ... but on the other hand smoking can cause baldness, so I may need more shampoo as the hair regrows.

Well we can only hope.

My gf was amazed that her hair still smells like her shampoo when she comes home from work at night, and shes a hair stylist.

I didn't know this! Gee, maybe my really full mane of hair from my youth will return! woot woot!

Quitting darts is the new rogaine! lol

There is one way in which I save a lot of money as well. Not having to go to the convenience store for a pack every couple of days has put an end to all those extra little purchases; coffee, chips, lottery tickets and so forth.

I know what you mean, but in a different way. I've got a sweet tooth and I'm bad for snacking in the evenings when all is finally quiet (little guy is asleep) and I can relax at my laptop for a while.... but I'm finding vaping is satisfying my sweet tooth as well as my nic craving and 'hand-to-mouth' habit! Last night, the only reason I ended up having a little snack of crackers in the late evening was that my stomach was growling as bedtime neared (we had an early supper). Spending the evening vaping Vanilla Love, Butter Yum, Raspberry Shortcake Cookie, and Black Licorice *completely* satisfied my sweet tooth, and the "treat cupboard" remained closed all night! Woot woot!

 

[haiqu]

Yeah, pity teeth can't regrow as well. :-(

I definitely save money on soap, shampoo, laundry soap, air freshener and the list goes on.......
The need to constantly wash the stench off of myself and everything else does save a few dollars. When I quit, I noticed my hair grew at a faster rate. I suspect our body chemistry does change slightly as it is learning to operate without the cigarette chemicals. Vitamins and nutrients may be better absorbed in time too. I noticed many changes the first 3 months. It's all good

Just wait till you see how fast your nails start growing...and the nail beds get really pink.

*looking at my hands* you know what!? You're ever so right! I hadn't really been conscious of this until you said it, but at this moment, all my nails are long, bare and natural.... no breakage or splitting, and the beds *are* pinker than they used to be (used to be more bluish). Wow! Only took one pic, but the other hand is the exact same! What a nice bonus! Thanks!

Not sure vaping is saving on my "manscaping". When I switched to a 50/50 pg-vg blend in my first year, I noticed I needed to maintain my ever growing garden, vg is a jungle enabler. I'm finding growth in places that I never thought growth could exists.

Wait until your face starts becoming oily, then you can save on moisturizer. You know I read that on ECF when I first started out and thought it was weird and probably exaggerated, but now I have oilier skin. Which is good for me since I had a problem with dryness.

Oh man lol I just made the switch to all VG and don't plan on going back...

Now that you guys mention it, I have noticed the need to shave more often than I used to.

Happy Monday, all!

 

[tygertyger]

Eek! More oils in the skin is ok with me too, like you say Oriana... less moisturizers!

But extra fuzz? Think I'll beef up my PG ratio lol....

Dusty.... the money you saved must go to razors

 

[VintageMitzi]

Huh. I have noticed my skin and scalp are oilier than usual. I just realized I haven't felt the need to switch over to my winter "heavy duty" moisturiser and conditioner. It's all good...

OMG! I agree with you about vaping helping the sweet tooth cravings!
