I'm probably an anomaly, but I quit smoking analogs about 22 years ago. Had not picked them up since then or even been tempted. Then a couple of friends were able to switch from smoking analogs to vaping e-cigs and for the first time I was tempted. It seemed like you get the best of smoking without the negative (except cost). I realized I have missed the act of smoking, just did not want (or miss) the nasty parts (unhealthy, smell, etc). So I bought my first ecig - an Njoy. Really liked the taste but at $9 a cig realized that was going to get expensive real fast. I tried the Blu, but didn't like the flavor. Green Stick was pretty good but again, expensive and didn't last long. To get away from the disposables I bought the 21st Century rechargeable. Thought the flavor was pretty good (menthol) and have been on those for a few months. Bought some eliquid and have been refilling the cartridges so the expense has gone way down. I don't care for the flavored eliquids, just like menthol. I've got a Joyetech e-roll kit ordered so I will refill the 21st cartos until that arrives. The only "issue" (for lack of a better word) I've had is that I seem to get accustomed to the flavor, like after vaping one flavor for a while I don't seem to taste it as much. I've bought a couple different brands of menthol and switch them around and that seems to help.
Another of my reasons for picking this up after so long is that I feel I will eat less & can lose some of this extra weight. I've lost about 5 pounds so far. When I smoked analogs I stayed skinny because I didn't eat while the "taste" of the cigarette was still in my mouth. Plus I'd stop eating sooner so I could go smoke. I do this now but do it with my ecig.
I am keeping my habit from my family because I don't want to hear the criticism I know they would have (can't believe you are going back after so long...). But I can vape 10 seconds before they walk in the room and they don't suspect a thing because there is no lingering odor. I'm sure I will "come out" soon, but I just wanted to share my story here first, for what it's worth.

Sorry I had to giggle. After 22 years? I am not laughing at you, just fascinated is all
