This is the first winter in about 10 Years that I have not had a major respiratory infection! No bronchitis, no cold, no inhalers, no neb treatments, no bombing my body with antibiotics to prevent pneumonia. I am so happy I no longer smoke!!!
Has anyone else noticed that they have not been sick?

I was just thinking that this morning!! First winter in years that i havent been sick
So true! Last winter, when I was still a smoker, I had a cough so powerful it would make me bring up. This winter, nine months into vaping, and I haven't had a cough, a cold or bronchitis. Sciatica, yes, 
lung or sinus infections, no. 
lung or sinus infections, no. 
I did get a virus that was floating around a few months back, but it went away on its own. I usually always get a secondary sinus infection which requires antibiotics, but that was not the case this year since I quit smoking
I have gotten an occasional cold, but they don't move to my chest and hang around for a month or more like they used to. I used to so dread getting a cold, as it ALWAYS turned to bronchitis. I haven't had a case of bronchitis in the 2.5 years since I switched.
I still got the occasional head cold, but they only tend to last about 3 or 4 days now. Compared to 2 weeks when I was a smoker. Being a bus driver I am exposed to any and all bugs that are currently flying around though. Passenger boards, takes a note out of purse/wallet sneezes on it and hands it over. Gross I know, I'd rather give a free ride than touch the snotty bank note 
I've noticed the same thing over the last two winters. The benefits of vaping are many and varied!
add me to the list of usual winter cold that turns into serious bronchitis or serious sinusitis. So far nothing I'm knocking on wood also.

I can't exactly say the same thing. Last week I came down with something that knocked me on my .... 2 days of a soar throat, followed by fever for 5 days and a cough that is still lingering. On the positive side it did not turn into bronchitis or some other lung infection.
I haven't been sick for the past year, but I still got my flu shot.
Started vaping 2007. Had one sore throat which may have been triggered by excessive PGA vaping and dry hits on my first DIY pass through which I vaped non-stop. Before PT only had poor performance cigalike batts. No flu. No common cold. Far less sinus headaches. Could be chance but that is my longest time with fewest sore throat, flu, cold sick days. Lungs are clear. Hasn't improved body aches though.
Get's a "me too" here. I just through an entire month of sick. First it was a norovirus that hung on for a couple weeks. Got all of a five day break - then a head/chest cold kicked in. Meh.
It sure is a lot easier to tolerate the colds when they do happen, but vaping isn't a miracle cure to prevent you from being exposed to a virus or getting sick either.
I'll have 2 years vaping in next month and have had no colds/flu/bronchitis/pneumonia since I made the switch.
I still get a cold about twice a year,,,,,but they last just a couple days and are not nearly as bad as they used to be,,,,,,,and not one case of bronchitis!!!!
Had a day cold or just not feeling well twice this year
Last year was on two inhalers and had 4 bad colds and the flu
So I'm happy with vaping
