I'm imagining that many people out there that are now vaping have experienced some of these things too.

First, I would occasionally smoke in the car, but it was always such an issue between lighting it, and then monitoring the ash. In the car now, just pick it up and push the button. Also, there is no smell.
The negative aspects of smoking (smell, having to go outside on a wintry day) are no longer a factor.
When I would smoke, I would have to decide if I wanted the whole cigarette. Sometimes I just wanted to smoke for a few puffs, but it seemed wasteful to stop with 75% of it left. Plus, to me, I found that the further down I smoked a cigarette, in got harsher the shorter it got. That is a non factor with vaping.

I haven't had an analog in about three weeks, was never much of a smoker in the first place, but still find that I'd like to have one. I've read many comments about after vaping awhile, people that tried an analog, said it tasted nasty like an ashtray. Right now I'm content with vaping.

I have a JoyE 510 and from Liberty Flights. So far it hasn't been a hassle with cleaning or battery for me. In my original order I only got minty juices. The kit came with 5 prefilled cartridges. They were what the company called Marlboro. Most of us are brand conscious, to a ridiculous extent I imagine, on many things. For me, I've always had a negative association with that brand. Something about the image I'm guessing. Plus I've had one or two in my life and they were just a bit strong/weird for me. Long story short, the vaping version, especially with a little left over mint, was actually very nice.

Any other experiences you want to share about the differences you've noticed when you first picked up vaping?

I used to dart out the front door for a smoke before I wiped the sleepy from my eyes, first thing every morning. tasted like crap, coughed, hacked, gagged. but had to have my fix to get me going. now I get dressed, get my act together, and walk the 100 yards to work and get situated before I even think about pushing my button for my morning drag...

Hated doing anything that required 2 hands, as I could never function with a cig hanging from my lips. choked me half to death to try. Now I just push my button and continue with what I was doing.

Walking around shopping I just puff when I get the urge, don't even stop to think about it, and when I get in the car I turn the key and go...no need to pause to light up the smoke I have been coveting since 30 mins into my shopping experience...

When I am pushing my button, my kids hover if I have a particularly fruity flavor in that day, just to get a whiff of the tasty smells coming from my PV, instead of making the ewww face and running for cover cause mom's got a cigarette.

When my teenager asks to try it, I hand it to him. No he isn't quite 18 yet, no I don't want him to become a nic addict, but yes I would rather him try what I am doing instead of asking a kid in the school parking lot to let him try his cigarette. I am not doing anything illegal, and I want him to know that and to trust that what I am doing is truly better for me than smoking, and to realize that cigarettes are so bad for you and that I have chosen to make better choices and if ever he decides to go down that road, so should he. If he had ever asked me to try my cigarette I woulda slapped him silly.

and people that smoke, stink. and I may tell you that you stink. I apologize in advance. I am still getting used to having a sense of smell.

One of the best differences is how convenient doing my hobbies is: no need to move away from yarn when I'm crochetting/knitting to smoke, when I'm at a friend's house OR not having to go outside at home to light one up, no need to worry if my projects stink of cigarettes, and so more fear of dropping a lit cigarette on a blanket I'm working on. This is an awesome feeling :D

My other favorite is not having to roll down my window all the time. I usually just run my defrosters on low and vape away; there is no longer a need to freeze to death in rain or snow or cold temperatures because I have an addiction.

I could write a list... and I just might do that! :)

Another difference that I thought of, something that I kind of miss, was that with analogs there was the watching the smoke curl off the lit end of one freshly lit. Sometimes it was interesting to watch it find it's path upward. Also, with e's there is no "playing" with or twirling it around between puffs. I guess you can if you want to, but it is no longer a necessity while vaping like it was while smoking.

....NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO :( This just made me realize how much I miss that, too.

BUT... there's a flipside! I also DO NOT MISS that because I can vape in front of people, knowing it's not affecting them the same way it would affect them with analogs.

Differences that I've noticed:
1. I don't wake up in the morning and think: "CIGARETTE, CIGARETTE, CIGARETTE"
2. I don't get dirty looks from people outside a store as I blow my last drag of smoke away, instead it's looks of curiosity at the blue light at the end of my PV.
3. I don't have to open the window to vape when it rains (HOORAY! This is my favorite cause now my arm doesn't get all wet)
4. Everything in my house smells better...no smog of analog smoke inside anymore.
5. I breathe and sleep better. Which is amazing.
