Effects of vaping

[fray]

I have been vaping for about 7 months now and aside from the obvious health effects, I ran into a new one last night.

It was my daughters birthday and I had no lighters to light the candles. It was a very weird moment that I realized I no longer carried something in my pocket I would have freaked out about not having for 10 years.

We did manage to find a book of matches in the back of the junk drawer so she still got to blow put her candles.

Wow... thats awsome! in a not so awsome way.... I feel what you are talking about... I only switched threeish weeks ago and from the start I was resolutely carrying my lighter with me. I figured ya never know when you might need to make fire... kinda like carrying my pocket knife, it just comes in all sorts of handy. A few days into vaping I loaned my lighter to an analog smoker at work and didnt see it for a few days... he returned it several days later and I told him "nah, its cool... I dont need it, I dont smoke anymore" it was kinda a weird feeling.

Fray (sir or Ms.?) that's probably the only down side to vaping...

Happy Birthday to your daughter! It took me a half hour to light a candle last week and the neighbors had to light our sparklers last night lol

hehe i own a greek italian restaurant and we offer on greek nights saganaki (flaming cheese) that we light up tableside after pouring brandy on the cheese... after i quit smoking i got to the table and realized i had no lighter in my pocket where i kept it with my ciggies... pretty embarassing moment to say the least!!!

And, of course, not a reason to return to the dark side. To my knowledge, there have been no public bans on lighters and insurance companies and employers don't even ask the question. I don't think there is any e-cig rule that prevents carrying a lighter. No frowns from me if you should pull one from your pocket. Those lighters were sometimes useful in finding the keyhole in a dark entry.

LOL...I know what you went through. Hubby and I were trying to figure out how to light a brush fire. He told me that that was the one time he wished I still smoked (he was only teasing me). I found an old lighter in my car so all was good. We ate our hot dogs, vaped afterwards, and laughed about it.

JW50 (sir or Ms.?) not enough to go back to the dark side, but it's a pretty good practice not to carry a lighter when you first start. There are alot of stories on here of people trying to light their ecig. The problem is once you get in the habit of not carrying a lighter, you have to reacquire the habit of having one at all times.

I understand. (So the man said.) I never considered the risk of lighting the e-cig. Heck, we're probably headed toward e-candles anyway.

I have e-candles

I have e-candles

While watching some fireworks I got to thinking about those e-candles. How do you blow those things out?

 

[JW50]

Never mind mekakeisei. It finally dawned on me. An e-puff will blow them out.

 

[mekakeisei]

hehe, mine come with a remote lol

I think you're mistaken. That's an e-lighter.

 

[mekakeisei]

lol you're right

Having not smoked an tobacco cigarette for 6 mos or so, I've a brand new pack of Bic's laying on the living room table. Can't find the receipt to return them. Somebody will come over some day that still uses those things, or somebodies gonna get um for Christmas next.

Cheers,
