Don't miss smoking, vaping has replaced that ritual completely for me. Still have friends that smoke and I'm very conscious of their feelings when it comes to my opinions on smoking. I never cared for the self righteous reformed/non smoker comments when I was smoking and don't want to be that person. Keep quitting till you win!

I vaped for awhile then went back to analogs, however I'm now back to vaping again. I can honestly say this time around I don't miss smoking, nor do I want to EVER go back. Ecigs are much better. The variety of flavors, the ability to choose what vaping style you wish, all these reasons and more to want to leave smoking in the past. :D

I smoked for my whole life (2 packs a day) and I have been without a cigarette now for 2 1/2 years....... I can honestly say that I DO NOT miss smoking and it is probably because I love vaping more than I loved to smoke! I feel better and the variety of flavors and hardware is just amazing!!

In the beginning I did not know if I would be able to do it because I tried the gums and the patches etc., etc........ but that was the problem - I loved to smoke and I never loved to chew gum so I needed to find something that I could love at least as much as smoking......enter e-cigs!! the rest as they say is HISTORY..... thank goodness.


NOPE!!....Don't miss it one bit!!;)
 
sometimes i miss being able to tap out a cigarette from a soft pack and using my zippo to light it... the typical cool guy look from the movies (yeah i was one of those guys that started smoking cause it looked cool) BUT blowing out HUGE clouds of yummy smelling vapor has now become an even better thing to do and i dont plan to ever look back

Yes, I do miss the convenience of smoking. I never changed brands in all those decades of smoking. When I ran out, I could always find a place that sold cigarettes within a few minutes of where I was. I am even old enough to remember vending machines which were all over the place and always open. A pack of smokes was easy to carry around.

Now, I am constantly fiddling with new DIY juices and RBA's. Not to mention the number of mods I have! I am weighed down by all the stuff I carry around with me-juices, spare vaporizers, batteries, chargers. Storage for all of my paraphernalia is getting to be a real problem: flavors, mixing equipment, nic, tools. I have a pretty nice workshop in my basement, but that is too inconvenient. Fortunately, I found a very nice semi-antique chest with small drawers to store everything. If my lovely and wonderful wife were still alive, her tolerance levels and patience would have been severely tested every time I took over the kitchen to play mad scientist. It was not the smoking that killed her. She was a heavy smoker, but one day had the strength to quit on the spot.

I do miss the wheezing and shortness of breath when walking 18 holes of golf. I miss my friends backing away from me when I came back in from freezing my .... off to run outside in the dead of a Michigan winter to take a few drags. I miss women shying away from me because of my smoking even though I am handsome, fit, charming, articulate, erudite, talented, and interesting. I miss my house smelling like stale ash tray.


Boy, I really do miss smoking!
 
I can honestly say that I don't miss it.
I've been vaping for about 3 years.

Does that mean that I don't like analogs?
Not really. I mean, I love vaping to smoking analogs about 100 to 1 but still, I guess I grew up with a strange childhood.
I can smoke analogs any day, but I love vaping so much that I neither have stogs laying around nor do I really care enough about them to go buy more.

Vaping has been a hobby for me since the first day I tried it.
The experience of using and making coils is so much fun for me.

I have moments... in the morning and when drinking that I don't miss smoking exactly, but I miss the harshness and rush.

I normally vape 12mg boba's, El Kamino, or deadly sin... in the morning with coffee or with a drink I use a 20mg classic tobacco from a local smoke shop... harsh, lots of smoke, tastes like an ashtray...

I suddenly don't want anything to do with a cigarette and cant wait to get back to my 12mg Bobas
