Congrats on the switch! Before you know it, 3 days will turn into 3 weeks, then 3 months, etc.

I still have a few lighters. My candles and fireplace still need a source of combustion.

Most people that vape are called vapors. Anyone asks me what I'm doing with my PV, I tell them I'm just blowing off steam. :p

Hey Welcome and congrats on your success. Yes, I think they call us vapers. I know, I thought it sounded kind of silly, too. But it is what it is.

And about those lighters...I think there is a process when you get further along in this where you "dry burn" coils to clean them. I saw it on youtube. You need a lighter to do that, I think. So hang on to them.:)

Welcome to ECF and gratz on quitting. Vaping is much more than just a replacement of smoking. Hope you enjoy the journey.

If you ever get into rebuilding, lighters are good for torching coils.

yes, i am quickly learning that...feeling it in the wallet too. have purchased 9 eliquids, 3 glasomizers, 4 batteries, a wall charger and an evod. hahaha, it's becoming an expensive hobby. 3 days!! at this rate...im gonna have to use those lighters to keep warm.

I got a real kick out of the term 'analogs'. Still do. Congrats on the Quit. I got lighters all over the place. But now, if I need one, I never have one with me. I reach for it and its not there any more. When I first started vaping, I found that I was carrying my lighter around in my hand all day. It was always in the way, and eventually I just set it down and forgot about it.

Welcome! Keep it up... The transition is amazing. Vapor does not saturate everything in your life, and you will not smell like an ashtray all the time. You think the flavors are nice now.. just wait until your tastebuds come back. Then.. it's on! There is no way I would trade in this toasted almond vapor for a lungful of tobacco smoke.

From one ex smoker to another... high five!
