Just stepped outside for a vape. Why?

[tmoore]

I've just switched over from cigs to e-cigs about a week and a half ago. I've been vaping in my office, no problem. But, I still have this near overwhelming need to step outside once in a while as if I were smoking a regular cigarette.
Anybody else hang on to analog habits while using an e-cig?

 

[Paranoyed]

Yeah I don't want my boss to think I am too productive then start expecting more out of me.

I did the first couple of days but it is too cold out where I live right now. One of the many benefits of switching to the e-cig is I can do it inside.
I know once spring comes I will have an itch to go out and vape away.

 

[tmoore]

I'm doing it even in the cold. Ha

Old habits die hard, I too just switched from analog (no regrets), but find my self trying to flick ashes or thinking it time to go smoke. But I know one thing for sure
I never realized how bad analogs stink til now!!!!!!!!!!

 

[tater_salad]

It still gets you away from your desk and gets your legs moving so you don't get clots.. so it's a health benefit

 

[Chuckq4yoo]

yup, totally do the same but no as much as I would with an analog

I step outside when I'm uncertain of acceptance. Oh, and sometimes to convert analog smokers. Recently I was invited to dinner at a friends place and I stepped outside to vape. He asked me what I was doing and invited me to vape inside. He is ardently anti analog.

My old habits were showing up if I awakened in the middle of the night. I'd catch myself slipping on the jeans and boots...then it hits me...no need to.
Now, I'll head for the bathroom and straight back to bed w/o vaping. Major changes in just 2+weeks of vaping for someone that was a smoker since 1980.

I did that for a long time...habit I guess. One of the cooler ecig effects imo, is that after vaping whenever and wherever you want, you lose lots of your old tobacco triggers. For me, when my .... touched a car seat, it was time to smoke. Not anymore lol

Yah, triggers sometimes come out of the blue!!

Other than getting in a car, and after a meal some of mine were weird I think. Stoplights\stop signs....was time to light up. Getting in the right lane after being in left lane on the highway....time to light up. Get done with something at work...time to light up. Someone else lighting up...time to light up lol

 

[Chimney34]

Yep! For the first week I was still cracking my car window when I vaped. Lol!

Nothing wrong with sliding off the bar stool once a while to stretch your legs.

When the wife's home I still occasionally step outside to vape. I've been doing it my entire adult life when smoking, so why stop? Plus, I enjoy sitting on my front porch. It's about the only place I interact with my neighbors.

And I still step outside at the bar, since all of my friends here still smoke.

 

[Dmforse11]

Haha I step outside in the morning with my cup of coffee and vape for about 5 to 10 mins!

Just go outside and vape, going outside and smoking are two different behaviors. It's a lot easier to just change one behavior at a time bro.
I even sat my e-cig in an ashtray when I first started because that was my habit pattern at the time.

 

[Rynow]

that's funny cus i figure i'll be more productive at work once I find a kit I don't have to mess with.
Just want a set that works without a lot of tinkering.

 

[Dreddsparc]

It IS nice to get outside from time to time to take a relaxing 'break' vape while at work. Just feel obilgated to 'cut it short' if in sight of other employees and they seem like they need me for something. If im outside and out of sight, no interruptions.

And I do still roll the windows down while driving, hard to see the road when those crazy vapor clouds start building up.

After a particularly long gaming session in front of the computer, it probably is best to get up and move around a bit at least, minimize the clot risk

 

[Doglips]

The biggest problem I have is not having the cigarette to use as a timer......I still say to my coworkers before we begin a job, OK let me finish my smoke and we will get this job done....of course a 18650 and a 6ml tank, means I got a little time before Ill be there.
