Just stepped outside for a vape. Why?

I think it is still a good idea to take vape breaks when the weather isn't too bad. Think about it.
-A short walk gets your blood pumping and can combat the 2pm crash.
-Then fresh air and sunshine on your face (10 - 15 min a day for Vitamin D).
-The social aspect, chit chat or vent when needed.
-The deep breathing that is part of smoking/vaping.
-Most importantly, sometimes you just have to walk away from your desk to reduce the chance of casualties when you start throwing things.
But...pouring rain, below freezing temps? I stealth it and stay indoors. It's all about options.

So basically you were like me.....driving=smoke, food=smoke, stress=smoke, and "oh look a bird" = smoke. I had the craziest triggers to take a puff and never realized it till I started vaping!!!!! I still leave the window down while driving cause of the kiddos, and my place of work looks at it like a cig so I'm forced out with the other smokers but, I love being outside and the ppl are way funnier than the Debbie downers inside anyway.
I still go and sit outside on "my" seat and vape for a few min. at work. I can (& do) vape in my office, but I think what I'm looking for is the peace and quiet; the view that has more clouds than spreadsheets...... As smoking became more banned, I had more of an excuse to leave the chaos and be on my own for a bit. I also have a 510 w/cart or nano for driving...'cause it feels so normal!!
I find myself doing that at work. I think it is habit obviously, but smoking analogs started as a social habit for me and even with the nicotine addiction always remained that way. I still head outside while at work to shoot the s*** with my co-workers, but I vape instead.
I work out of my home. I mostly code all day so getting out of this chair and stepping out into the garage was a way for me to take a break. Having an analog was my excuse to do it since I never smoked inside my home. Personal preference.
Now since I have been vaping, I still get up and go outside just to gather my thoughts. Think through what I am working on without staring at the screen and to relax a bit. I do not think that will ever change even though I am doing it less often now. We are creatures of habit, some habits will relax you and are not that bad to keep. Smoking however, I am SO glad I stopped.

When I first started vaping, if I was having a REALLY strong craving I would go outside to vape. It helped me since I was mimicking my old habit. It worked, but I don't feel the need to to that anymore.
Do what ever works to help keep you off the tobacco.

In my case, I go outside to vape...at least when "the lady of the house" and my 2 kids are around. But that's more of a social aspect because when my girlfriend is going to have a smoke (she doesn't see herself vaping although she sees the positive effects it has on me) and than I join her. In the evening when the kids and she's off to bed...then I vape inside (it doesn't leave the awfull smell in the house so why not)
What I did noticed is when we go and do our daily groceries, and the different shop are only 5 mins away from each other, I always have to wait for my girlfriend to finish her a-cig (even if we only had stayed in the previous shop for a minute of 10). Then it hit me...I did that too; leave home,have a cig...in & out shop nr 1, have a cig...in & out shop nr 2,have a cig...etc. Btw, I still do that but I don't have to wait at the shop until I finish my cig (now I can simply take a few puffs between shops)

-another habit for the new vaper - I have had a couple of times where I started to panic....'...oh no! Where did I put it down?' Then I remembered - I did not just set down a half finished cig! Oh! The relief!! 
Smoking triggers? For me - consciousness......

or going outside with you e-cig in your hand and returning inside to get a lighter...then realising that you don't need a lighter anymore only happened during the first weekend I've started to vape (but then it happened a lot)

I too just go outside. I dont want to spend my break time having to explain myself. And as other have said, it is nice to get out of the building other than sitting with my co-workers listening to them complain.
