Just one of the reasons I love vaping.

[Redruth]

I've been thinking (novel idea, I know) that one of the reasons I love vaping is because in a strange way it makes me think of my grand dad.

When I was a child I was always fascinated by my grand dad with his pipe. It was nearly always in his mouth, wether it was lit or not. I would watch closely as he tapped out his baccy from the bowl, cleaned in out refilled it added some fresh baccy and lit up. Then the look of sheer bliss on his face as he took his first couple of puffs. I used to long to try it and loved the smell of his baccy.
I used to say to mum "When can I have a pipe like grand dads?"
And she would say "Girls don't smoke pipes".
Grand dad would wink at me and say to my mum "Your grand ma did".

Sorry just a nostalgic trip down memory lane.

Does vaping have other associations for you?

That is a cute story

You reminded me of the grandmother of a boyfriend I had in high school. We went to visit her. She lived in the middle of nowhere in a small little cabin and would sit in her rocker with a pipe.

She said I was to skinny and that she had to make us dinner. She got up and went into her kitchen and whipped together the most amazing southern meal I have ever eaten in my life!. She made fried chicken, homemade mac and cheese, biscuits, green, a slad and then whipped together a pie.

I know this is OT but your mentionn of grandma smoking a pipe reminded me
