Don't you sometimes miss...

[Eitje]

The torture and agony from analogues?
Being busy and forgetting you were holding a ciggie or worse having one between your lips, when the sudden sharply stinging sensation hits you and made you realize you should have thrown it 2 minutes ago?
Or the careless dunk in the ashtray, burning yourself or rebounding and burning your table cloth.
The ash cone dropping in that overpriced drink at the bar late at night.
Taking a puff and coughing for five minutes with the whole crowd disapprovingly staring at you.

I know, .... can happen too with ecigs ... I mean I'm not talking about loosing a hand to cloud chasing stupidity type of stuff, which would equal falling asleep in bed with a ciggie lit and burning down the house type of crap.
No, the little daily torture and self inflected pain a smoker has to endure.

Sometimes I feel vaping is just to clean and lovely. It has no rough edges once you get the hang of it. In the beginning I used to poke myself with some kanthal, even zapped myself once or twice with a mech but now with TC being invented I don't even get dry hits anymore.

Somehow it feels so
.... I dunno... Girly?

I got lazy and didn't empty my ash tray for a few days and then knocked it over. I was thinking about quitting for a bit, and that's really want did it for me so I used some coupons to try the markten that say and never looked back. The markten sucked, but it led me to something better. I didn't smoke a cig again after that. I threw out my zippo and ash trays, and got a new car a few months later lol

 

[WillieB69]

I threw out my zippo

Even though I haven't touched a cigarette in almost 2 years, I still have my zippo.
Of course, it's in my prepper's kit now but NEVER get rid of a source for fire!

 

[Eitje]

Well I guess it must be my masochistic genes than... Lol
Maybe I'm just still missing something after years of vaping.

I used to hate getting busy with a cigarette in my mouth then going to grab it finding that it is stuck then my fingers slide down it and get burnt. Don't miss that.

 

[Nermal]

Thanks for the memory, Karen. Do you also remember how it could stick to your lip and pull the skin off?

 

[sonicbomb]

Putting a lit cigarette behind my ear, lighting the wrong end, stinking burnt clothes, coughing up bits of lung. I don't miss any of these things.

 

[Bunnykiller]

never pulled the skin off the lips but I did have it stick and then went to pull the ciggie from my mouth and had the cherry get stuck between my fingers.... that left a blister on the fingers... ouch..

 

[rgerber]

Putting my still lit pipe in my pocket when I also had one or two packs matches. It made for a very interesting show....and almost always another burn hole in my trousers.

 

[bussdriver]

i've probably driven a couple million miles over my lifetime, and my stories of cigs and their mishaps I've witnessed would fill an encyclopedia.

Jeez, I sure hope my battery don't vent...........be eatin' crow for a long time!

 

[ReigntheGamer]

Or flicking a .... out the car window only to have it blow back in the car and land on the carpet or leather.

 

[Spencer87]

HAA
Well, Apart from forgetting the top cap and taking a puff at 60 watts lol.

What I dont miss is the Intrinsic I NEED IT.
Always kinda planning for when I could duck out for a smoke.
Fearing the airplane ride as I couldnt have a smoke for 10 hours.
Now... whenever I feel I need a vape and I am somewhere where its not practical to vape, just duck in the bathroom for a quick stealth puff....

I do not miss a lot about smoking. I think what i miss the most is the head rush after not being able to smoke for a long period of time. lol.

Was driving a cabover Mack with a co-worker one hot day, windows open. He was dozing as we drove along. When I finished my cig, I casually tossed it out the window. Moments later, my co-worker came alive! He jumped up, threatening to attack me for putting my cigarette out in his ear, and all I could do was sit there dumbfounded. Apparently my .... went out my window, around the back of the truck, back in his window, and into his ear! After a few moments we were able to laugh about it, but from then on were very careful as we were both smokers.

 

[ashtrayogdc]

I remember my first month I was just so happy how much cleaner it was in my house. No smell or ashes etc.

 

[NoFumus]

My daughter says she misses being able to track me in public places by my cough. To compensate, she died her hair fire engine red, so now I can find her.

 

[Kmfm0122]

I do miss it sometimes. But it's been 8 years since I have had one so when I smell smoke that urge quickly goes away.

 

[93gc40]

Being able to "smoke" without the strange looks... Contempt, I still get so don't miss that.

LA freeways at rush our and a cigarette falling between the legs. OK I don't miss that.

 

[jdrewry]

To the op:
No. I don't miss one thing about them.

I threw one out the window,and it came back in and went down into my shoe,it took a few minutes before i noticed,and then i thought it was a bug biting me until i seen my sock smoking haha.
