Maybe, soon, you'll be asking to change your name to "less-angry-amy". LOL
OMG yes! I was so paranoid I used to dunk mine in water before putting them in the (outdoor) ashtray. SO STINKY. The last of that went out with the trash two weeks ago, good riddance!
Thank God I no longer have to worry about the thinners in my garage bursting into flames while I am refinishing. I used to get all paranoid about the carriers flashing off and whatever esters turning into a fireball while that smoke was dangling from my lips as I padded down a french polish.
Good points! I am the ONLY one the last several years (sis in law is never there with us, she lives out of town), and am curious how this year might be different... will they allow me to sneak a vape in, or will I still feel the obligation to step outside in the cold/rain/snow this holiday season... Even if I do, when I return, I won't be feeling quite so guilty and smelly ;o) And I know they'll be happier with this choice than anything - hmmmm... almost like a cheap present for them, not having to smell me!
I just like the idea of the 'electronic cigarette'. I'm a tech head, so the concept just feels so 22nd century! lol
not sizzling the right side of my hair trying to light a cigarette on the stove burner because my DANG lighter went dead. It's almost all one length again! YaY
For the first time since I started vaping someone asked for a light, and I realized I didn't have one anymore. 
I love being able to give my son a big hug and kiss without the smell and chemicals getting on to his cute little face.
Not hearing my wife tell me to quit....She might start telling me to buy less juice soon though hehe
Getting more kisses from the wife since I don't smell like cigs, also its kind of cute when I kiss her right after I vape and she smacks her lips and goes mmm cherry.
Being able to breathe!!!!!
Not feeling like someone is ripping my lungs out in the morning having that first vape.
Turning smokers on to vaping. I have been vaping for only a month and a women I work with and a girl I go to college with have each bought kits!
And the best thing about not smoking is meeting some really helpful, and funny people on ECF!!

No more struggling to light a cigarette in the wind!
My partial analog packs always ended up in my bathroom so my bathroom trash was heavily studded with empty packs - now my bathroom trash is just tissues!
The inlaws will have to find a new way to light birthday candles since I won't have a lighter.

My kids looking to me more for kisses and hugs now that i don't stink like an old ashtray!
OMG-passed by a group of ladies walking into walmart the other day that had THE stench of cigarettes just oozing off of them, i literally gagged....gross!

Things I will not miss:
I will not miss the yellow sheen on the inside of my car windshield
The FAKE coughing my Sister does if she thinks i'm smoking..... I haven't' even lit my cigg yet and she starts hacking p.i.t.a.
The lecture from my doctor every single time i see her.
My son asking me to quit smoking for him.... he's 8
Things i am now happy to enjoy
lots of yummy new flavors to vape
getting my nic fix wherever i darn well please (discreetly of course)
rubbing my extra pin money in my still smoking hubby's face hehehe .... what? you didn't have enough money left for McDonald's? well if you would quit SMOKING then you would still have money now wouldn't you?
there are many more for each category but I've written enough of a wot tonight lol

Found out today, I still tend to crack the window open - more habit? Or - it does help the VG heavy vapor dissipate faster ;o)
LoL - I have been trying for years to grow my bangs out, but they never seem to get past - the length of a cig hanging out of my mouth. WooHoo! Maybe soon they'll meet the rest of the length!
It hasn't been a week and I've already discovered so many reasons to fall in love with my PV.
Some things I don't think were mentioned in the previous 68 pages of awesomeness:
I am constantly stumbling upon fantastic advantages over my old analog ways. I love this thing so much I am actually giddy about it.
Some things I don't think were mentioned in the previous 68 pages of awesomeness:
- I don't kick myself now when I finish one smoke, feel unsatisfied, and light up another one. I simply vape until I'm satisfied and then stop instead of delimiting my nicotine intake by arbitrary stick lengths. I also don't have to count what I've got left and decide if I want to save it for later.
- When I'm drinking with my buddies I don't plow through three packs of smokes and end up smoking theirs -- making me feel like a leech while also not really enjoying their brand/flavor
- Not worrying about every little bump or sore in my mouth or throat is the beginning of some cancer that is going to leave my head horribly disfigured
- Never having to see the disgusting pictures of cancer/gangrene/miscarriages that they print on cigarette packages here in Singapore
- Not having to fight my way to the ash bin through my coworkers who huddle around it like moths to a flame
- My fingers will never again brush somebody else's soggy .... while I'm extinguishing my cigarette in some over-stuffed bin
- Never having to look for an ash bin period (you will get fined for littering here if you just flick it)
- I don't need to worry about the kids playing with my lighters.
- I don't need butane cans, zippo fluid, flints, or wicks only to find out that I forgot to use them in time half way through the day and end up bumming a light from strangers

Since I have a bronchitis, it's wonderful not having to hear the MD getting all over my case. Nag, nag, nag.
Feeling much better in the AM. Watching others looking at me and really wondering if they should but not saying anything.
Not getting a nasty rash from patches. Not having to move to the exhaust fan each time I puffed.
AND BEST OF ALL--finally getting my wife to try it out and had success.

Never having the small, hyper, running-at-the-speed-of-sound dogs run over the ashtray and spread it over the sofa...
Not catching the outside .... can on fire

On day 2 of being off analogs and strictly vaping I had an urge for a pop. I drink Dr. Pepper mainly, and WOW! There were so many underlying flavors I was missing that I could now taste! It's amazing how much I can taste now
