Aside from the obvious multitude of benefits health and comfortwise, for me the coolest thing is sampler packs. It's amazing to try a flavor I just know I'm going to hate and find the sample bottle empty 2 days later and me planning on ordering more.
On the downside:
1) People who have never smoked can't comprehend what a personal victory it is to go a week without a cigarette. They feel like the PV is just as bad. No point explaining (like describing purple to a blind person) but you still want to...
2) Everyone thinks I've either developed a rare and disgusting medical problem or become incredibly perverted because I can sometimes be caught muttering to myself trying to remember where I left my condoms and .... plugs 'cause I need them to keep from spraying the walls with juice when I do my Taryn spin.

I'm drinking much more water too, and I've noticed this is a common experience with many others. I wonder what it is about analogs that prevented us from drinking??
Well done everybody! It's great to read everyone here has either quit or dramatically reduced their use of analogs.
Here's my list:
1. The return of my taste buds
2. The return of my sense of smell
3. House, car, hands, hair, clothes all smell fresh and clean
4. No more having to remember to keep a pack of analogs and lighter on me at all times
5. No more stinky ashtrays around the house and smelling like one!
6. Drinking more water
7. Breathing better (the lungs feel bigger and more efficient somehow)
8. My poor husband and pets don't have to put up with horrible smoke anymore
9. No longer worrying about price hikes etc
10. Feeling fine in smoke free areas!
I'm sure there's more. Seriously, after 25 years of heavy smoking I think I can safely say I'm done with the filthy habit. There comes a point when it becomes tiring, disgusting and annoying and I'm glad I reached that point before I developed some nasty lung disease or something. I know some people on oxygen that can't quit smoking!! That is so sad!
OMG LMAO
- I seriously just shot Slim Fast out of my nose reading this!! I'm so happy my office has a door because people would want to know why I'm laughing so hard I'm almost crying, and then they'd think I'm as preverted as you!!Edited to add: after calming down from my fit of laughter, I noticed I didn't hack and cough for 5 minutes like I used to!!
my fingernails are pretty again without the use of polish. no more yellow stain!
now there aren't cigarette packs magically piling up in the car.
and funny earl should mention stamina, while i agree i have more energy, my boyfriend switched with me and we think it has help the bedtime "stamina"
with that being said, i also have to admit that now every time i order something new.... i impatiently watch every day i think my package is suppose to arrive with anticipation. i have a great view of my mailbox from my office window. sitting here now because.... yep, waiting on 2 packages today
I'm also a packet watcher, haha. I'm waiting for 3 packages that could arrive anytime this week. Got the view and all. Every time I hear a dog bark, I'm giving that post box a side glance.
Thanks for the thread, pretty inspiring for a 30-year smoker. I decided to try e-sig's last week (bought an ego - with help from this site). Now, I'm just waiting for that #&@$ mailman. 
Hopefully it will be here today.

I'll second everything that has been listed so far and the .... plug stuff was just too too funny! The other great thing is that my husband and I have "converted" both of our mothers and our oldest daughter. What a real win when you can help get others in your family on board with what you're doing and they look forward to getting their goodies in almost as much as we do. My mom has a horrible cough that I'm hoping to get rid of by Christmas...otherwise I'm really afraid she may have some permanent lung damage. OH...and my husband helped convince one our clients to switch on Friday. She text messaged me when she ordered hers online!
My husband is a marthon hunter/gatherer and spent the entire weekend looking up goodies for us. We're either going to have a TON of stuff come in on one day or even better would be one little package daily. We've started scheduling lunch around whether or not we have a package coming in and when I get to work in the morning the first thing I do is check the tracking information on all our inbound goodies. Waiting for tracking info from DIY FlavorShack and VaporRenu so I can add them to the list.

being able to take a couple vapes and put it away... not left with wasting a smoke or tossing it back in the pack to stink up the rest!
When talking to my 91-year-old father (who never smoked), these are "end covers" and "plugs." I'm willing to say "condoms" in front of him, but he will never hear the words ".... plug" from my lips.
LOL!!
You just gave me a very fond memory of my mom. Back about 20 years ago when I was single my Mom lived with me for awhile. In those days I got tons of catalogs and junk mail because I catalog shopped. (this was before I even knew what a computer was). I worked 6/12's night shift at a nuke plant at the time so Mom would collect the mail while I slept during the day.
I was getting my things ready to go to work one afternoon and Mom was sitting in her recliner looking thru a catalog when I here her aging voice, "Debi? What in the world is a........ plug?" I nearly fell over!!! You can guess what kind of catalog had hit my mail box
HA!
I love Pilates and Gyrotonic. I was once discussing it with my Mom and I said with Gyrotonic you are lying on this machine with your legs and/or arms in leather straps held in the air by pulleys and it basically looks like an S&M machine. She said "what's that?" (Turned out she knew what sado-masochism was, just not the abbreviation.)
Then again, this is the woman who truly didn't know what I was talking about when I referred to Ronald McDonald.

I have the feeling my Mom knew what she was talking about too, She just wanted to see how I would answer her! She lost her battle with breast cancer in 2002, I sure miss her.
True...that sounded dooooooshey...can you say that word here if you spell it differently?...not sure...anyways, I never actually would tell anyone the stink, cuz i know i didn't smell like a rose bush when i was smoking. The worst was when good looking girls at work told me i smell like an ashtray when i came in from a smoke. Not nice...
I like the money I'm saving and the fact that the evidence of my past smoking like is slowly disintegrating in my apartment and my car.
