Well, when you have a job like that, you need to do something to fell better about yourself..........
Quitting cold turkey! Wow what a novel idea, why didnt millions of smokers think of that themselves a couple of decades ago?
This guy is a genius and a paragon of willpower. (insert heavy sarcasm)
I think this was less about you quitting vaping and more about his need to say he was better than you.
Napolean complex maybe?

"I quit being a [edit] cold turkey 5 years ago, you should try it, it's not that difficult."

Lighters used to be banned, but no longer are, per TSA website.
......................Hey man !
I loved smoking. I never wanted to give up. Using an electric alternative means i can carry on. I have no doubt most vapists would still be smoking cigarettes if they didn't have the alternative. This TSA guy isn't in the same category. He obviously didn't like smoking so he gave up. Makes me wonder why he smoked in the first place !.
So i vape because i don't want to give up. Why vape otherwise ?.

My favorite reply is, "well my grandfather lived to be 95." Their reply, "Was he a smoker?" My reply, " No, he minded his effin business."

I just got back from San Diego. The TSA here in Hartford, Ct didn't even open my bag or question me when I left. I had 4 ego twists, a gripper, a groove, 4 18350's, 4 slim tanks, 1 vivi mini, 10 cartos, and about 120 ml of juice in 5 bottles. Leaving SD the TSA agent asked if I had e-cigs. He didn't open my bag either but said, "you really have a lot!" I just replied, "back ups for my backups man, you never know."
Congrats on your quitting success. 
People who feel the need to lecture others lifestyle choices, especially while bragging about their own, typically have low self esteem or feel inadequate in some aspect of their lives.

What the heck? When the TSA guy saw my e-cig in my purse he knew what it was but he felt the need to lecture me telling me I should quit vaping. Said he quit analogs cold turkey 27 years ago and I should too. Ugh. I'm just so happy I have been 5 weeks now without an analog! I felt really stupid being pulled out of the line and spoken to like a 5-year-old.
Well! That was certainly a more productive use of his time instead of catching all those guns people keep carrying past the TSA.
(No, I'm serious. They keep finding guns. On planes. All the time. And run security tests and get guns past TSA. Regularly. Gosh, don't you feel safe now that you've been lectured properly on vaping?)

Another reason to luv the TSA..

Call me whacky, but a member of the TSA lecturing anyone about, well, anything I can't help but find comical.
It's his opinion! And opinions are like fannies. Everyone has one and they all stink!
As many others have said, that was incredibly unprofessional of him to lecture you on a perfectly legal item you were carrying. I would have (after your flight and your safe arrival) reported him to a supervisor. Reporting him right then probably would have been a whole huge hullaballoo that really wouldn't be worth it.
I went to Vegas once to visit family. I took the backpack I use for work, which had a BIG ole honking, really mean looking box cutter razor knife in it. I didn't discover it until I was in Vegas. Of course, I had to LEAVE it there with my Dad. I didn't want to risk slipping a WMD past the TSA twice. I could have been arrested for forgetfulness.
It would be fun to load my carry on's with amusing diversions. Oh look, It's Healthy Snack Time!
