How has Vaping improved your hobbies?

[jamvector]

I know there have been other threads related to this, but I thought it might be fun to share the myriad of benefits vaping has on our recreational activities and hobbies.

In my case, I love being able to play my guitars, drums, and keys without interrupting the song to dump ashes or to keep from burning myself. When I used to play out (I was a drummer), I used to turn and do a head thrash to ditch my ash, or try to spit out the cig to a spot where the guitar player would stomp it; ahh, those were the days. Now I can play with an auto xl and toke the whole time (the only time I use autos).

How about some good stories from ya'll on how this has changed the way you recreate?

I can actually smoke while working on (as in modding, upgrading, changing water) my computer. I'm not worried about getting ashes in the system or burning something. Makes for a much less stressful situation.

I can also now watch a movie without having to pause it and go outside away from my wife.

I love perfume...and it's nice to be able to spritz on my favorite fragrance without worrying about possibly blowing myself up.

Vaping and ECF have become my hobby!

Although, it's really nice not to have to worry about smoke getting into my computer anymore

Finally, I can vape while jogging!

I'm with you on the music stuff, Jam. Although I never allowed smoking in my music studio, I often took breaks to head outside. Not having to do that is nice, especially when I'm draped with headphones, guitar straps, and electrical cords! Gotta love the vape.

Dancer as a hobby... so you can imagine the improvement.
I go to special workshops a few times a year that can be 6-8+ hrs of almost non-stop dancing, choreography and drills.
I can concentrate on the workshop instead of thinking how bad I want a cig, much better stamina and I don't get winded like I used to.

It's been great for fishing and hunting. I Deer and Elk hunt around 7-9k feet and can feel the difference in my stamina, especially going uphill. For river fishing while wearing waders, I use a lanyard, which is 100 times easier than holding my fishing rod and juggling my cigarettes and lighter in 34 degree water.

I am currently crocheting a baby blanket for the new grandchild due in March - it won't smell like smoke, I won't drop ashes on it or burn it. Also - takes a lot less time to stop for a puff or two than to put on the coats, hat, boots, gloves and go outside in the freezing cold to smoke...

I wish I could convince some of my friends that are big hunters of the benefits of not smelling smokey - animals can smell you a mile away. I think it matters for fishing as well; I used to think of what effect my nic-stained fingers had everytime I tied or baited my line - unfortunately, I have yet to see measureable improvements in my catch I don't hunt as much anymore but still fish a ton.

I envy your environment snow, I have a couple of grad students in my lab from Idaho and I have been through Pocatello and Boise years ago - truly God's country.

Thanks everyone for playing along - it's great to hear about your pastimes and interests

I do wood carving and crochet..it's nice not setting the wood chips on fire anymore and filling the crocheted blanket full of holes! I don't have any melted spots on my computer keys! Yea me and V4L!

Vaping is my hobby!

 

[BradSmith]

Great topic. I hit a few of the above. I make a living with music but it's a hobie too. My voice is much better, same things as you noted while playing drums. Hunting is nice taking an e-cig out (no led's allowed). I did UFC for a bit in the end it was mostly a hobie it helped my cardio a bunch. (all done after a couple of weeks ago, but it was nice to get one last fight in kinda feeling like my old self). Ice fishing is nice, now I don't huff and puff while trying to keep up with my friends pulling a sled full of ice fishing stuff.

Very Cool thread, thanks

I love plants, so I'm always starting one, a seed, cutting, etc. Hard to smoke a cig with wet or muddy hands, so vaping is a big plus.
But I also love to read, and sitting in my 'smoking room', aka the garage, with a great book and a pack of cigs, was my escape. I still read and garden but I'm actually enjoying other things I used to ignore when I smoked.
And even thinking about yoga, wtf? LOL@myself
