It's all around just wonderful. Keeps me occupied, flavor, looking for new stuff. Of course it doesn't hurt when my family walks in talking about how good it smells, which would be because I've been sitting in clouds of vapor for hours 
Definitely the variety of flavors. If someone would have just walked up to me and said "you know you can vape flavors like Strawberry Shortcake or mint chocolate chip", I would have quit smoking a long time ago.
I knew vaping was a healthier alternative to smoking cigarettes. I actually liked smoking, up until about 2 years ago. My first thought was "I can smoke indoors!" while playing Battlefield 3. The wide array of flavors is what keeps me vaping and I've been smoke-free for almost 7 weeks now.
Funny how you said you family likes the smell. My co-worker will take a hit and leave a smell lingering for a good 5+ minutes. But when I hit it Im not smelling it that much. Smaller hits maybe?
I vape fruits and sweets. They notice it most with butterscotch though. Luckily it's my favorite
Lets see...quit analogs (5 days now, hoping to make it till the end of the month...baby steps), FLAVORS!, cool little toys, daughter says I don't smell anymore, can vape indoors and not have to repaint every year, get a nicotine fix at work, don't have to roll the car window down when its -40 degrees. No particular order...other than quit analogs is #1.
I imagine quitting analogs is everybody's #1. Been a few weeks for me. Congrats on the 5 days. I know the first week was definitely the hardest
First week is being tough, but getting better. Stress is my factor...if I make it through those stressful spots I'm gonna do it. Never worked with patches, pills, hypnosis or any other method I have tried, but I feel good this time!
That has changed over the year but here goes.
started just to have an option to "smoke" indoors.
After I found out it cut my cigarette smoking by like %80 instantly, I did researched, and found out it was healthier, so I continued to vape for the health benefit.
After visiting the first vape shop I discovered there was more than just tobacco flavors, so I continued to vape...for the flavor.
After I found there were more gadgets than just EGO batteries, I bought my first mod and an Clearomizer... tinkering with gadgets is right up my alley... so, I continue for the gadgets.
another thing that is also semi important to others, but I haven't really caught on, is the community. I've noticed that a vaper is nicer towards another vaper. I don't continue to vape for that reason, but it does help.
And something that is important to me, is because it's healthier, it allows me to help others get healthier. I get a satisfaction in seeing someone quit cigarettes. I vape pleasant smelling juices to intice others to give up the stinkies. I'm one of those that carry a big mod.... and I used to have several cards I would hand out to those interested in quitting. When I order online, I always ask for many business cards, but I'm actually disappointed when they only send me three.
That first one, was my own first one; cold winter, tired of freezing on the front porch just to satisfy a craving for something that was literally killing me.
Tired of spending sooooooooo much money on cigarettes.
Wanted to quit for the last 30 yrs, tried 4 times before only to fail; also cut my own smoking by about 80%-90% as soon as I started vaping regularly, and found I didn't miss the smokes at all. So, after just 1 a day for 3 days in a row, I realized I was, in effect, pulling off a bandaid one hair at a time, and it was time to just yank that sucker off. So I did. I do have mild cravings from time to time, but vaping satisfies them very well, so I can distract myself and just forget all about them.
And, the real biggie that I only realized after I had more or less accidentally quit smoking... I don't currently have any health care, so I've gotta sign up before this month is out, or face *some* consequence. I can now sign up as a non-smoker, and get a MUCH better rate.
Also, I have asthma; very mild, I use no medication other than a rescue inhaler; once I get my lungs cleared of 39 years of cigarette tar, probably will not need that inhaler nearly as often.
So ALL of those are my best reasons for vaping. Oh, and I get to live longer, instead of dying too young of lung cancer or some other godawful lung disease. At nearly-53, things like that have become a lot more significant than they were when I was 20. And I know for a fact that I smell better. A friend of ours smokes cigars, and I can't stand to let him in the house anymore, he stinks up the whole place.

I smoked half a pack (PAD at my worst) for 20 years. After leaving a vape shop almost 2 months ago, I lit up my last Camel Blue on my way home after buying a few awesome flavors like Black Label's Belgium Breakfast. I realized then that cigarettes tasted like crap.
The next day on my way in to work, I made an effort to not have a cig... and made it. Was fortunate work was hectic that day and I didn't think about smoking. Next day, similar thing. I soon realized I went a few days without a single cigarette and was 100% vaping. If I can do it after over 20 years, certainly anyone can. Good luck and no one knows the difficulty of quitting like I did, but I made it and I feel great!
Perks of Vaping

You get the idea. There are so many reason to love vaping. The number one perk is finding ecf and the wonderful friends I have made.

My main reason like many others is to give up the analogs. I've found that my sense of smell and taste are coming back, I can play with my kids longer and I don't get winded walking up the stairs in my own home. Flavor is a big one as well, I love the variety. Tobacco all day every day might be great for some, but I enjoy the fruity and sweet flavors as well. I also enjoy the fact that I can wean myself off the nicotine in time. I started out at 18mg and am down to 12 as of this posting, I'll probably stick here for a while, but when I feel I need less I can go lower. Also indoor usage is nice as well, it rains too much here to be going outside or having the window down in the car all the time, even if I do have it down a little while vaping, probably habit, but my arm doesn't get wet anymore.
I can't say I have a favorite... For me it was a convergence of reasons. Cost, smell, flavors, and health being chief among them. With analogs, I coughed and hacked all the time, put on weight because I couldn't exercise, etc. I wanted that to stop, just as I wanted to stop reeking and spending more on smokes than I did on my car.
But I guess so far the largest benefit I have actually realized is freedom, in many different forms.

I just wanted to stop smoking and was tired of being stinky, as several coworkers let me know. The vast amount of flavors has made it much easier , also not having to walk around the building at work and hide. Plus my gf loves the smell of the banana nut bread flavor that I'm vaping now, and that earns me bonus points
