You know... I've only been vaping for less than 24 hours and already I'm starting to notice little things that make a huge difference! Like I can vape while walking my dog! When he does his business and I need to pick it up... no problem! I can just stick my PV in my pocket and I have an extra hand to get the bag out and pick up the poo!
the little things in life that change when you vape instead of smoke

This is the best thread EVER! I've read through every last post, nodding my head in agreement, laughing my .... off at some, and/or thinking, "Yeah, I hadn't thought of that". Thank you everyone for sharing. I think if I feel the need for an analog, I'll just grab my PV, pull up this thread, and vape away. 
Somebody actually commented on that a few days ago to me. They said it was the first time they smelled cologne on me. I always use the same 3 sprays. Funny how that happens when something else isn't blocking it out. Maybe I can save a few bucks and only use 2 sprays a day. LOL.
Not having to worry if I left one burring some were.Not stinking up the house or car.Being able to breath better and smell better.
i'm sure these have probably been covered, but its a long thread so i'll hit 'em again
1. no smell
2. sleeping thru the entire night, waking up actually feeling rested
3. apparently i don't snore any more
4. my GF doesn't leave the room whenever i vape
5. neither does my dog
6. I actually enjoy a few minutes on my back porch now.
7. I can't find my ashtrays now.....and I'm happy about it!
8. non smokers will actually start a conversation with me....
9. ....and occasionally ask me out.
10. when i see my doctor next time and he asks me if I quit smoking yet I CAN ACTUALLY SAY YES!!!!!!!

OMG I still use my ashtrays......only they have a couple extra atomizers in them a cartridge or two and a pair of tweezers! +1 to people not leaving the room when you vape....this is especially great when it's your 15 year old son and he will actually sit and TALK to his father and I now!!! Gotta love the great things vaping has in store for us
I absolutely love being able to vape in bed. I never smoked inside anyhow but I know it's generally considered an ESPECIALLY bad idea to smoke analogs in bed. Generally in the morning when the alarm goes off (at 4:45- ugh) I hit the snooze and puff on my SD just laying there. It's a great way to wake up.
(These have probably been covered already, but I've just now seen this thread)
Not having to worry about getting a bit of saliva on a filter.
Never hearing "Can I get a cigarette off you?" ... (actually this is a big thing)
Can't cover up a far..... errrr 'natural gas' with vapor flavor.
Rolling the widows up to light a cigarette just to roll them back down to smoke.
When I, my clothes, or anything else smell bad, I can smell along with everyone else.
'Parking' my eGo (w\drip tip) in my mouth like a analog didn't work out very well.
(Great idea for a thread, I'm going back and reading them all, might take me a week to get back to this page.)

This thread is GREAT!!!
Still not totally analog free, but 90% of 2 packs a day for 35 years gone for almost 3 weeks! YEAH! Very painless so far.
What stands out for me other than all of the things mentioned; smelling better (or for the worst), eyes not watering, midnight runs to the store, taste, breathing, stamna, hair, skin, ash-n-da-eye, burning things that need not be burned, better sleep, less snoring, ect...
I can go out to dinner and not have to leave the table/conversation at least 2 times to go smoke. Friends used to say they would talk about me when I was gone.
What I dont miss..having to decide wheather to pee or smoke on break...floaty eyeballs by lunch always gave away my choice.
OH..and the BF, who gave up analogs over 2 years ago, LOVES my eGo...and he can blow incredible smoke, opps vapor rings. Gonna hafta get him his own, and with no nic juice!!!

I don't have the guts to visibly vape in public places that don't allow smoking. But I'll do it in their restroom! I was at a religious ceremony and same-building reception yesterday. Previously these were a nicotine fit nightmare, with relatives (none of whom smoke) and having to slip outdoors and out of sight to smoke. But yesterday I just went to a restroom stall and vaped my low-vapor mix of PG Marlb w/ just a bit of Backwoods Brew Peach for the nice smell.
And same day - on the way over, my fiance let me vape in his car! He's had that car 10 years and I was never allowed to smoke in it.

You know that dead slug looking thing you used to see in the sink? That little piece of what used to be a lung?
Yeah, I don't miss that at all!
Yeah, I don't miss that at all!
I second that. Never smoked in bed before and it's the most glorious way to wake up.
never having ashes blow in my face outside in the wind;
never having to empty ashtrays again;
never having to smell like an ashtray;
never worrying about dropping an analog and starting a fire in my car;
being able to breathe;
and being able to have my tastebuds back!
Thanks everyone for sharing!

-No "behind" flavored aftertaste.
-No more sinus problems
-No more deadbeat friends smoking up all my cigs(however.. it seems to have migrated to my deadbeat friends vaping up all my liquid).
-Going outside at work with my nicostick, and being hassled by security because someone reported a man outside with a radio detonator. Then, being asked by a security guard if he can take a pull off of it(for which I always cary a couple extra blank carts-to avoid peoples heebie-jeebies).
-One more gadget to oogle, buy, and then heavily customize. (<---technophile)
-Another forum to spend waaaay to much time on

Being able to keep the promise I made to my dad 8 years ago to quit. (He was a 3 pack a day pall mall no filter smoker, and died from lung cancer at age 63).
Feeling like a man who can set and meet goals.
Having new gadgets to play with.
Waking up first thing and not having to go outside to smoke in the freezing cold/rain/snow.
Not seeing the clerk at 7-11 more frequently than 99% of my friends.
Praise from my Fiance's family for quitting.
Stealth Vaping all over Blizzcon. Sitting back with some backwoods brew maple tobacco in the hot tub at the hilton was freaking awesome!
Tasting things again; not needing to order things extra-mega-spicy in order to taste them.
