Smoking or Vaping

[Debsters]

Okay, due to the enthusiam here, both me and my son are waiting for our VPs? (E-Cigs) to come in the mail. Now that things have settled down a bit, I am just wondering if there are people here who like vaping as much as if not more than smoking? Thanks for your feelings.

I like vaping much more than smoking. It's funny, after years of smoking when you get away from it and grab a analog just to see what it would be like again most people can't stand the taste and smell. I know I'm one. Plus, with vaping there is so much to choose from -- vanillas, puddings, cookies, etc. I can't imagine going back! Plus, I don't lay in bed at night listening to myself wheese when I try to breath!

I never intended to quit smoking, just wanted to not have to run outside every 30 minutes when I'm trying to do home work for school. I haven't touched a cigarette in 2 months just because I enjoy vaping so much more.

A lot of people never smoke another cigarette after they start vaping. On my third day of vaping cigarettes tasted so bad I never lit another. Some times vaping isn't as satisfying as smoking but most days I find that it is. The variety of flavors seems to make it more fun for most people. I still mostly like tobacco flavors, but I do vape the occasional coffee flavor too. I have no desire to smoke any more aside of the occasional craving but a few hits of a high nic juice usually takes care of that.

I second, third and fourth everything they said- Plus, family and friends accept you more- I was a smoker who "loved the taste" and I converted after my first vape with a nasty gas station ecig- once I got the real thing I was amazed. My BIL was the same way- and he is one of those who hates anything and everything.

And my father in law- He is 10 times worse than my brother in law- and he loves it- BUT is such a north end of a south bound mule that he will only 'vape' when noone can see him. LOL

I never really liked the taste of cigs anyway, but I was hooked....so think of it this way, instead of thinking 'I'm giving up smoking' think, Look at what I am gaining by using ecigs, better health, smell, taste, loads of yummy flavors, weight loss(at least for me) and the list goes on and on.....

I enjoy vaping way more than I did smoking. It's like a hobby whereas smoking was just a nasty addiction. I was able to quit the analogs right away but I still missed the TH & smoke that I got with a real cigarette. It wasn't until I got my first LR 306 for my eGo that I truly liked it more than smoking. Now I'm in vaping heaven with a ProVari & MAP Tank.

I never planned on quitting..not after trying to quit about 6 times a year for decades and failing..but I bought a new car and didn't want to smoke in it and stink it up so I ordered an e-cig JUST to smoke while driving.. then i realized I liked it better than regular cigarettes and successfully quit after smoking for 40 years. What's amazing is that I thought for sure the damage I did from smoking was irreversible; the shortness of breath, chronic bronchitis, etc.. well I no longer wheeze, I don't cough, and can actually run about a mile now (I have a bad knee or I am sure I could run further)

i like vaping allot more then smoking. i vape in the middle of class, in the college center, in the middle of walmart, airports. anywhere ive wanted to so far and never had any issues about it. plus it tastes better and its cheaper, healthier to but not so much a factor for me. only thing ive seen so far is when i had a white battery with a filter looking carto someone stared at me funny when i started using it in class but now mines all black so people can tell its not a cigarette

 

[Debsters]

Wow thanks guys! This is really good news!

Def like vaping more. I quit smoking 3 days ago. Dont even think about analogs anymore. I already feel better too. Also as mentioned, mad flavors to choose from!

 

[Blue1324]

I am (was I guess) a weekend smoker. Now I am a weekend vaper. Tastes great with a beer, is much cleaner and I feel fine the day after. As a matter of fact I work for a cig company, have access to all the free smokes I could ever want and still pay for the e cigs rather the smoking the free cigs.
I had a smoke the other day, mostly as an experiment on how much nicotine I was consuming with the e cigs, and it tasted like crap to me. As long as I can still get juice and hardware I'm for the e smokes!

+1 LOVE vaping so much more than I ever loved smoking. Another +1 about trying an analog. UGH! The smell and taste. The last time I tried one, I got a headache and nauseated before I even finished.

EDIT: also, when I would try to quit smoking w/o my PV I gained weight. Prolly bc I used candy to take the place of smoking. I have lost weight since I started vaping. Now when I crave something sweet, I vape it instead of eat it - not to mention I don't have to use something with calories to take the place of smoking.

It took me a few tries but after reading this forum and finding a model that worked for me, I quit smoking and haven't looked back. I am enjoying this way more than smoking. I don't have to stop what I'm doing to go have a cigarette, my car, clothes, hair, and breath don't smell. And all the e-juices and gadgets are fun to shop for...consequently I haven't saved any money but having a great time and my family is very happy I quit smoking. I am curious as how a cigarette would taste now (it's been a little over a month) but I haven't wanted one.

I am 3 weeks in and to be honest with you I can see no way that I will go back to smoking, the taste is just too bad for me now. So choose wisely my friend as you may find that you will never be able to enjoy a cigarette again after becoming a vaper.
Best of luck to you both.

I agree with what everyone else said. I love vaping much more than smoking. I've had maybe 3 packs since Feb 1 (was 1.5-2 pad). Once I found the right pv and atty, (which is a reo woodvil and lr 306 atty) I haven't had even a desire to have a real smoke. Good luck to you both and keep trying to find what works for you. Keep vapin!

They are PVs

I researched here first, bought models well-supported by multiple vendors, found juices I love, and it's better than smoking. I smoked over 30 years and switched immediately to vaping even when my equipment was a bit weak. Within the month I bought the better models and I am still finding some juices I really like a lot. Once I got over needing tobacco juices (after about 2 months for me) then I could really have fun with flavors. I am vaping dark dark chocolate, vanilla, peach, butter rum caramel.

I got a lot of benefits from vaping. My cheeks are pink, my nails and teeth look better, food tastes better, I can breathe better and my sinuses cleared up. I can vape in the car and at my desk at work. It's great.

I felt the same! I never really liked the taste of cigs but couldn't give up on the nicotine!! I would even gag on occasion when smoking!!! Vaping is much more pleasurable IMO! Finding a flavor u love is a work in progress for me! I really like a few but looking for my all day vape!!!

I no longer have the violent morning cough I had when smoking cigs!!!! Huge plus in my opinion!!! Plus my fiancee loves that I don't smell like an ashtray! Getting a whole lot more kisses these days!!! I would say the biggest perk of vaping

I started vaping 10 days ago!!!! I'm not going back!!! I love the flexibility of vaping! I no longer have to go outside to smoke which I love!! Can spend more rime with my family instead of standing out in the cold!!!

Good luck!!! Happy vaping!!
