I don't get that 'tickle' in my throat as much that made me cough uncontrollably!!! I love that I smell so good now and am working on 'washing' everything in my house too!!!
And the monitor screen doesn't get all yellow and icky (technical term there) while doing so!!!
If you haven't seen it..... it's a wonder more computers parts don't "melt down" from smoking goo coating them then holding every speck of dust like super glue.
Knowing that I will one day be as fit as I used to be. (20yo and I can't even run a mile anymore.)
No more showing up to college reeking like a walking cigarette. (My friend lit one today and I was so surprised at how horrible analogs smell.)
No more waiting for a trip to Mexico for Cohiba cuban cigars and cigarettes. (The Cohiba flavored ejuice I have is not the same, but good enough.)

Made a short run today so I wouldn't be late for an appointment, a block and a half. Wasn't even winded! Normally I could do it but breathing heavily for a good while afterwards.
Being able to read a book without leaving yellow cig fingerprints on the pages.
It has been 1 week since I received my e-cig and one week since I've had an analog. I will not miss hiding in shame in my home because my daughter stopped by unexpectedly and I don't want to explain to her why am still smoking. She stopped by twice this week (unusual for her) but I freely answered the door gave her a big hug and told her that I am done with smoking forever, I will never go back. I now eagerly await the mail man, and look forward to when this actually saves me money. I tend to spend a lot on new "hobbies". 
I am new to the forum, and new to vaping (one week - still transitioning away from analogs, but I'm down to about 4 or 5 a day)! I am already pleased about the following changes: less ashtrays around the house! In my small 1BR apartment I usually had 3-4 ashtrays scattered about, containing anywhere from 0-20 cigarette butts. Right now I have exactly one ashtray out, it's currently empty, and pretty soon that will be put away forever too.
On that subject, my cats have always had a tendency to walk through my ashtrays and scatter the ashes all over the house; that's over and done with now.
Speaking of the cats, they don't mind sitting on my lap while I vape. An analog causes them to make a nasty face and run away, but both of them are quite interested in the PV and the curious vapor it produces.

I can vape in front of my 5 yr old because he knows it's my "fake" cigarette and he won't remind me that I promised to "Never smoke again" I don't remember saying that, but who ya gonna believe!!! I'm not 100% analog free yet, but I can already climb all the way out of the subway without needing mouth to mouth resuscitation on the way up!!!
actually.....i probably spend MORE on vaping than i did on smoking analogs, but this is by choice. it's like a hobby. it's fun! i love trying out new flavors, new accessories, shopping on ecig and ejuice sites. its like Christmas every week at the mailbox. you know, even though i spend more on my vaping hobby and pleasure, i really am spending less....think of what the medical bills could amount to, for Stage IV lung cancer, COPD, emphysema, being on a ventilator etc!!!

yeah, it's costing me more money than cigarettes did so far, but I think that's just because I've been trying all the merchandise and I'm finally at the point where I'm figuring out how to do it without breaking the bank! (and which flavors I do or don't like too)
Here's my list:
*vaping in the car with the windows up -- and let's face it, ever try to sell a stinking used car with burn holes in the seats?
*vaping in bed!!! Hooray!! In fact vaping anywhere inside the apartment is pretty great too!
*vaping before a job interview (or meeting your new in-laws) and not smelling like anything!
*best of all: NOBODY knows one way or the other what I'm doing. It's nobody's business gosh dang it! When I smoked it was everybody's business and I carried around a stigma - just by passing someone on the street they knew I was a smoker. Now, nobody knows I vape unless I decide to tell them.
It's like I'm finally allowed to be who I am and not be chastised for it. (oh, yeah, and having it not kill me is a pretty cool bonus too!)

Your last line is spot on. I told my daugher what I was doing and she supports me in this completely. She didn't even seem to worry too much if I vape around her baby...I did make it clear that I wouldn't mostly because I don't want to be the one modeling smoking behaviors for her. Her other Gramma can do that. lol
Survived my disaster.. Popped both attys i had. had to deal with analogs for a day until I could get new ones. stocked up on em this time. Forgot how nasty (even an ultra light) analog tastes
I sure don't miss that cigarette smell, I smoked for 43 years and the smell is something I always hated, it's a shame it took me 43 years to find something that will get rid of that awful smell.
I'm usually at work at 6am....having coffee and (use to be) analogs before I start my day with my friends. If it rained, we would open the windows and stick an umbrella
outside to keep us from getting wet. NOW, we can just leave the windows shut and vape away...you know how many umbrellas have been broken from the wind and the rain?
oh, and by the way, my friends have all converted to PV's

Not having my wife nagging me anymore. PRICELESS! I would also say saving money from not buying smokes, but I have been spending a buttload on ecig paraphernalia
When me and the little woman feel frisky...
we push all the furniture back against the walls,
I don my spiffy beret, draw a pencil mustache on my face,
squeeze into a skin tight pair of black pants and a long sleezed, black and white striped t-shirt,
she slinks into a frilly lacey little thing,
....and now she blows vapor in my face instead of stinky smoke before we start our French cabaret slam dancing.

Oh Lordy!! Now I have an indelible image in my brain!!
Here's one I experienced today that took my totally by surprise. My mother in law hugged me tight and told me how proud she is and said I smelled wonderful. She also said I could use my *doodad* in her car
To understand how special this was you have to know that she is 76, very non demonstrative of affection, but a wonderful woman non the less. She is extremely anti smoking because my father in law passed away 4 years ago from lung cancer...yes he was a smoker.
