At the behest of my girlfriend, we got an ecigarette for me for christmas. It was an M401 that I got from a buddy -- with what I'm pretty sure was a trashed atomizer. It worked okay for a while, but it wasn't great. We visited her family in Kentucky, and I fell into the Smoking Everywhere trap. I don't even know where it's at now. We ordered me up 510 and I've been using that for the last six+ months. Just this last weekend I finally broke down and bought a USB passthrough (Stupid me should have got it earlier).
I've been smoking Tasty Vapor products almost exclusively.
The ecigarette is awesome. I absolutely love it. I am annoyed when my batteries run low especially when they run out. However, I have made the transition from a pack-and-a-half a day to *maybe* one cigarette a week. The only reason for that is because (and I will freely admit) I /enjoy/ the burning tobacco death taste. I have noticed, however, that when I pass by people smoking analogs that I still get a craving, but it's overshadowed by the disgusting smell. I can't stand it anymore. I never realized how horrible it was. I just pull out my 510 and enjoy a delicious tastyfinger or cafe latte vape.
Amy's finally forced me to pretty much give up cigarettes -- I have a cigar or a black and mild every now and then -- by refusing to kiss me for two days if I have a cigarette (She's so harsh!).
vaping in places I'm not supposed to - I try not to. Sometimes I have to ninjavape, and while I don't get the satisfying explosion of vapor out of my lungs, it still works and it's still nice to not have to fiend for a cigarette while I'm in an antique store for three hours with Amy. No one in her family smokes, and I try to not even vape around them -- A trip to the "bathroom" fixes that easily. We recently attended an anime convention where she was selling things out of a booth, and I was there with her -- I, of course, was vaping my head off since I couldn't leave it. The response I got was overwhelmingly positive. I had a lot of chances to educate people about the ecigarette and deter them from buying from the SE kiosks (which is my personal crusade).
A while back I was helping my buddy out at the gun range he works at. Not wanting to be labelled a p***y by gun nuts and the folks he works with, I bought a pack of cigarettes. Smoked the whole pack and came back for more. I felt horrible, like, I literally wanted to die. I don't understand how I did it for six years. Whatever happens, I'm not going back to smoking analogs as my primary source of nicotine. I've spent *maybe* $200 since I first started in late december (minus the SE scam) -- I would have spent that much in a month and a half.
Just my thoughts and observations on life et al since switching.

But that is really cool, I'll have to poke around on the internets and check it out.
