I like my P.V., but I don't feel like a panic attact coming on when I don't have it. Not like I did when I was down to the last few analogs. I think it's because the 3,995 other chemicals don't have a hold of me anymore.
But I do like having it near, it's keeps the thought of an analog at bay.

TD..I think it's progress!
But the analogs, I can live without.

you're right, come to think of it. i don't get all pissy, like when i needed an analog. maybe i love it so much because it has so many fewer drawbacks ("many fewer"... did i phrase that right?)

also, i love being able to blow fat rings, all day! i never was very good at rings with my cigarettes. never wanted to waste the smoke. but i have so much liquid, and with vapor like this...

Hmmm. I think I've taken advantage of being able to vape everywhere. With smoking, I limited my self to certain bounderies. But vaping, I carry it everywhere. I think I have to be more aware NOT vaping where I used to NOT smoke... I think that is one downfall about vaping. I carry it everywhere when before I used to restrain in certain places.

I average about 6 analogs a day (always with an urge for more) & just started vaping a week ago. I have high hopes for vaping but can feel it will be more 'addictive', I really enjoy it.
My dd's don't want me vaping in the house because of the very fact it will make me become addicted to it (so what). They think it will make me want to smoke more analogs in the future.
What the heck, you can't win!!

maybe not more addictive, but i think I use it more than i used my Lucky Strikes. I used to have one every hour or two, but with my PV, i dont put it down for more than 20-30 minutes when i'm at home.

in any case, i really enjoy my e-cig! it's a cheap-o POS, but it works.

i've been using it for about 2 weeks now, maybe 3, and today may be my first day without an analog. though we will see what the night brings.

EVERYBODY IS AWESOME

Hi, I'm totally with you on the smoke rings, they are practically the coolest thing about this whole vape malarkey.
As for the addiction, I'm not worried, I've had an addiction to nicotine for 20 years and if I didn't enjoy it I'd have given it up long ago...at least these days I'm getting all the hit and none of the sh*t :) Nicotine makes me feel good, which in turn makes me tolerable to be around, so everyones happy. Yay nicotine!!

I'm definitely addicted to my PV. I wake up 2-3 times during the night and used to have at least one analog. I've just gone one week without an analog, but when I woke up at night I'd still want one. Just a few nights ago I woke up and for the first time was craving my PV instead.

When I smoked I was not only resticted in public, but I restricted myself at home 'cuz I hate the smell in my apt. so I only smoked into the the kitchen exhaust fan. Never anywhere else. Now I vape constantly at home. It's just such a novelty to be able to watch a movie and vape, sit at the computer and vape, sneak a few puffs on the bus....

My PV is with me constantly and I'd panic without it. Completely. I'm still fighting the urge to smoke so I guess that's why I'm glued to my PV.......

I've been vaping for a month. The first week I smoked about 20 cigarettes, in the next 24 days I've only had 2. I guess if I weren't vaping, I would still be smoking my two pack of cigarettes per day.

Vaping is great to me. I feel better, I smell better, my taste buds and sence of smell work better, I'm coughing much less, and i have more energy. Don't tell the FDA, but I'm cutting my nicotine, too. I couldn't do this with the patch or gum. To me, it's almost a miracle,,, and I'm getting a LOT of encouragement from people who care about me. They see a big difference,,, I just like it.

Hi Harmony - another new Wisconsin native here! How fast did you cut down on cigs? I've had my 901 for about 3 weeks, and I tapered down off my cigs pretty quick. In fact, Friday night I had my last! I refuse to buy any more cigarettes - now it's only vapor for me!

I REALLY DON'T want to even try living without my PV. Nope, nada, never. Guess I'm addicted. So be it. I love it.

I am with you Sharon. I love my PV and I actually find myself in a frantic panic when I can't locate it!

I lost it a little while (weeks) ago and I bet I looked for a few hours. I retraced my steps, even went back to work, bank, etc - it was no where to be found. Came home scratched kitty and lo and behold he was laying on it! :lol: Obviously, soaked that cart and atty and used new stuffing. My husband said the look on my face was pricelss while I was hunting it down - like a strung out fiend! lol

My husband came up with this b/c of my absent-mindedness:

1 DSE 901 Atomizer - $10
1 DSE 901 Battery - $13
1 Bottle of 20ML juice - $14
Look on wife's face when DSE 901 is lost - Priceless

Now I have 6 complete ones, so who got the last laugh. :D
