I started because of my habit.
But now it has become a hobby. Every payday I get my normal replenishing listed down and then there is something new that I want to try..mostly juices. There are still a lot of vendors that I haven't tried, lol, but I try to get a new juice or two every payday from a new vendor.
But next payday, I'm throwing caution to the wind and I'm going vapecrazy, lol.
My pocketbook will scream for mercy!!!

I'm doing this to get off cigarettes, nothing else. I don't consider either smoking or vaping normal or healthy activities. Vaping, for me, is a necessary evil to hopefully prevent me from dying of lung cancer. That's why I have a hard time relating to some of the users here who seem to be vaping for hours every day. Nothing personal against those people. To each his own. I just hope I don't become one of them. I probably will though... :D

It's more of a fun hobby to me, due to the fact I can get all the nicotine I need from snus and nasal snuff. It's a lot of fun for me to tinker and check out all the new stuff that is out there. It actually keeps me sane. I have no other hobbies or interests really. It's great talking to you guys as well. I wish I had friends in my day to day life that were vapers. One of my coworkers is but she only uses blu and doesn't want to upgrade so not much to talk about there.

I love vaping. It's turned into a hobby/habit, and every day I ask myself "when will I grow tired of this?". Probably in the next year or two I'll end up losing as much interest as I currently have.. I'll probably simplify the whole vaping thing & just stick to one thing instead of always keeping up with every new thing that comes out.

More of a hobby for me. It really did help me kick the stupid sticks, I could go without, sometimes I do. I enjoy it though and trying new juices, but I have so many that I don't really care for. Taste is subjective, so I've been letting friends try some I don't like. If they like it then I sell at a cheap price or just give it to them :)

Habit or hobby? It's neither. It's an addiction...

Habit: a behavior pattern acquired by frequent repetition or physiologic exposure that shows itself in regularity or increased facility of performance.
Hobby: a pursuit outside one's regular occupation engaged in especially for relaxation.
Addiction: compulsive physiological need for and use of a habit-forming substance (as ......, nicotine, or alcohol) characterized by tolerance and by well-defined physiological symptoms upon withdrawal.

It's still healthier than actual cigs though, which is why I vape.

I think reading the threads, looking at all of the pretty toys and searching for the Holy Grail of juice has a lot to do with keeping me from smoking, in addition to vaping to get the nicotine. It's probably just the novelty that makes it seem like a hobby now, but when I finally get bored with the show, I know I won't go back to tobacco.
