With every addiction, there comes the psychological aspect of a ritual... We all knew it with analogs... The after-dinner smoke, after-sex smoke.. etc. Nothing was as good unless there was a cig after it. With e-cigs, I'm finding that there aren't some of the same sensations as an analog. Like after a meal, it doesn't make me feel less full, the way an analog did. Anyone else experiencing this?

For the most part, my e-cig feels more like an adult pacifier. Whenever I'm bored, or tired, or stressed, I'll vape. What rituals are you developing with your pv? How are they different from rituals with analogs?

I think I pretty much vape the way I smoked. With coffee, after meals, on break at work. The difference is that the stress is gone from the ritual. I no longer light a cigarette, only to snuff it out a second later when the bus comes, or wonder if I have time for a smoke before "x" event occurs. It's nice.

Haha he should be the new vaping god! ;)

I do miss a couple of things about analogs... and one of them is having an excuse to go outside. Sometimes I feel like the only reason I see sunlight is because I'm walking to my car... but I can vape just as easily outside, so it's kind of silly. I miss having flame in my hand too... Which also seems silly, but I have a little bit of pyro tendencies :evil:

However, no analogs for me. Nothing I miss about them is big enough to make me go back!
