My initial reaction on trying an ecig was surprise -- I was expecting a lame substitute and was really impressed with how unexpectedly satisfying the vapor was.
I ordered a 510 kit within a few days of trying my first ecig in a mall kiosk, and while I was waiting for the 510, I used a few Blu disposables from Walgreen's. First day on the Blu, I smoked 3 analogs. 2nd day I think I had 2. By the third day, I didn't want my Camel Lights anymore and gave the 3 packs I had left in the house to a friend. Even the Blu was so much better than the analogs that I knew right away that with better vaping gear I would never want to smoke again.
I like everything about vaping. I like the absence of that nasty ash taste and smell, the great e-liquid flavors that are available, the fact that I'm not annoying or endangering other people when I vape, the fact that I no longer have to worry about burning my clothes or car seats or about disposing of stinky cigarette butts. I love that I can sit on the sofa and vape right beside my smoke-hating mother (who is so sensitive to smoke that she starts coughing if you light up anywhere in her vicinity) and have her tell me that it doesn't bother her at all and that in fact she thinks the smell is "pleasant." Most of all, I like being able to breathe. It's so great to wake up in the morning with clear sinuses and not have to have a 10 minute coughing fit while I'm starting my day.
And those are just a few of the things I like. I was at a friend's house to watch the Saints-Lions game tonight (WHO DAT!) and everyone was asking about my e-cig. I told them it had been about 3 weeks since I had a cigarette and how amazing it was to me that I had been able to walk away from them so painlessly. Someone asked me when I would be ready to quit using the e-cig.
"Quit?" I asked. "Why would I want to do that?"
