I like being able to vape in bed.......can fall asleep without a fire. The other night I feel asleep with my kr8 in my hand. Never fell asleep with an analog, so must have felt safe doing so with my e-cig.

I never had a g/f who smoked, so being able to vape in the "afterglow" is quite exciting for me

I can see how that sounds cool. Smoking a cigarette in the afterglow is not nearly as appealing as vaping.

First of all, the ashes get all over in places you don't want.
Vaping is much better.

Yup, you got it.
I wonder if anyone has vaped during. Ok, so I wonder strange things.
The nicest thing about vape'ing instead of smoking is that my asthma inhalers are only being used in the spring and fall instead of all year round so saving approximately $240 annually.
Being able to take a quick puff or two anywhere without having go somewhere to finish a whole cigarette
I think the biggest thing about being a smoker vs a nonsmoker that most do not recognize adequately is that the direct health affects of smoking is only a somewhat small portion of what it does to you.
The real negative is it changes your life in what you do. You work out less - if at all, you play less sports - if at all, you basically do less of everything. This has negative health consequences as well as any direct lung issues, perhaps even worse for many.
As some wise person once said: The measure of one's life is not simply the length - but the width. (or something like that...lol) Smoking significantly narrows the width of ones life - no question.
Basically all of the seemingly little things that you once did, or would do - add up to something big.

One interesting improvement to my health after about a month a vaping: being able to energetically dash up a long flight of stairs at work without feeling winded and my legs feeling like "two heavy slow things" by the time I reached the top. Prior to vaping, I found myself using the elevator often, having suffered a pinched sciatic nerve about 2 years ago, and I had also assumed it was my "old age" catching up. I didn't realize to what degree smoking had actually affected my circulation.
I feel as though I've been given a second chance.

Oooh! Nice! I hadn't thought about the legs feeling like anchors when I walked or climbed stairs.
Heating pads all have warnings not to lie on top of them. A friend ignored that -- she had a sore hip. She fell asleep. While she was asleep she shifted enough that the cloth cover slipped off. She burned a hole the size of a quarter in her hip and had to have surgery to replace it.
Just a thought for all of you who fall asleep with a PV in the bed. If you roll on top of it and accidentally push the button, you can do quite a bit of damage. Not as much as falling asleep with a lit cigarette, but still...

I don't have a pack of analogs sitting on my desk anymore. It's funny that I just noticed the empty space where I usually put them.
Re: the heating pad incident: You'd have to be a pretty heavy sleeper to not feel that and wake up! LOL Ouch. Good point, though. I had my automatic batteries with me at night just for that reason. I'm one to do such a thing like push the button with my .... after rolling on it or something. Now, I have manual batteries but I just put it on the table and don't hold it when I go to bed.
Not burning yourself is definitely a plus to not smoking. I used to take tylenol PM at night to help me sleep due to arm pain and my blanket has burn holes in it from waking up in the middle of the night to smoke and then falling asleep again from the medication with a lit cigarette. I burned my chest several times, too but that usually woke me up right quick. I had to learn to sleep with the pain because it was that or eventually burn my house down.

Since switching I've like the fact of No more general funk cig stankness or stankbreath, no ashes in the car or on me for that matter if the winds blowing right, no more being looked down upon by the fam because I smoked(my sister was the worst with this),no more dropping 9-11 dollars per pack,Take that NY with your lame taxes! No more burn holes in jeans from passing out from wild nights, no more tasting that lame fire proofing garbage they put on NY cig's, my garage no longer smells like death, plus I can now vape in the house,girls who don't date smokers don't seem to mind the E-cig, not to mention my physical stamina has gotten better, so really all around its been pretty awesome
When I vape in bed I stick my PV down the front of my shirt so it won't roll around... try that with a lit cigarette!
This is so true. I'm 36 and never openly admitted to my parent's that I smoked because my dad was *THE worst ex-smoker EVER*! I grew up thinking "smokers" were horrible people, so I never came out and told them I smoked. (They could obviously smell it on me, but I always blamed the stench on my boyfriend, since they know he smokes.) I would cut all my visits short since I started craving nicotine after about 3 hours.
This coming weekend for the first time in 20 years I'm going to just hang out with my mom... go to lunch, go shopping, just do whatever. And, it's because I don't have to worry about getting my fix.
