I don't miss forgetting to get smoke before I get home and having to go back out at any hour of the night to get some.

Accidentally drinking from a beer bottle at a party which happens to be an ashtray... Yeah. Not cool.
I can get my nicotine fix by vaping in the hayfields, barn and a mountain trail without the danger of starting a fire.
Oh Boy do I agree with these! Except as a female, my cig would try and get a feel of my boobs while driving. Nothing like a lit cig down the front of your shirt!
Oh I can relate!! then smacking your chest wildly and swerving around the road while trying to put out that cherry that is burning your boobs and shirt!
This is a great list. I'm 5 days in without an analog. The downside is that my boyfriends stinks to high heaven now from his smokes BLECH.
I don't miss:
- scrubbing my hands like I have OCD after each time I smoked because I couldn't stand that nasty smell it left on my fingers.
- craning my neck around to look in the back seat while driving just to make sure that red hot cherry that came off really went out the window and isn't sitting in the back seat scortching a hole in it.
- having to ration your last remaining cigarettes of the evening just to assure you have one or two for in the morning before you're able to get to the convenience store for more.
- looking at my bank account statement and being able to identify every entry that was a trip to the store for smokes just by the amount.

My kinda Gal!
You missed the not burning your lips part, whoop, was that just me?
Great lists! Here's a few of mine:
Ashtrays- 1)No more acrobatic felines landing in them and spewing their contents everywhere. 2)Forgetting to empty it before a big rain-isn't that a joyful cleaning experience. 3) Digging in them for a "long ...." so you don't have to run to the store right this second (come on you know you've done it!
) 4)Not having to be ...... off that car manufacturers don't put the damn things in cars anymore!
Lighters- 1)no more panic when the wheel refuses to spin on those cheap ones you picked up at the dollar store and there's not a match in sight. 2) Not having to buy torch lighters and bottles of butane and keep them stashed in your car just so you can enjoy riding with the top down while praying someone doesn't plow into the door holding the can of fuel.
Sneak Peaks- one of your students/parents sees the pack in your purse or the dirty ashtray in your car.
Film-all over the computer screen and tv that is just beyond nasty to clean.
Taxes-need I say more?
Driving-in a car...with nonsmokers...who don't want to stop....then complain when you finally do get to light up. After all, their bladder is empty, so your lungs should be also.
$-blowing 50 cents every time you plop one down in the ashtray and forget about it....

I'll third that... Oh the desperate times of being a smoker. The other thing I don't miss is smoking in my apartment then coming back in later and it looks like the fog monster moved in.
I don't miss how much time and effort it consumed. I didn't realize how much analogs determined what I did, or how I did it. Its been almost a month and I don't miss it. Besides I now save money on gum and body spray too! Too bad I spend it all on juice. Good luck everyone... great thread
OH forgot one.
This is aweful. Using the toaster and/or burning on the stove to light your smoke when you can't find the matches or lighter, then SPRINTING to the door. Especially fun when you are working with a half a smoke and can feel your eyelashes burning off.

I can relate to them all. E-cigs are really amazing, and I'm so glad to be analog free.
That's one hell of a drip tip!
Congrats on putting down the analogs!
I was on a five-hour drive back to town yesterday, with the mother-in-law that's on oxygen. The wife and I would be stopping every 30 miles if we still smoked. Instead, it was a five-hour vape. HEAVEN!!! (although the wife got tired of refilling my attys/cartos while I drove!)
My wife and I were both smokers so I def dont miss giving the nice gentleman behind the counter at 7-11 $25 dollars everyday for 2 packs of smokes. Now I just give him 1.75 for my coffee and a have a nice day 
wondering why your leg feels like its burning when you over fill your zippo
wondering why your hand is on fire because you over filled your zippo
having to grow your moustache back because the wind blew the flame of your zippo into it.

I Definitely dont miss my apartment smelling like an ashtray all the time! My girlfriend still smokes a couple a day but she goes outside. Although I have been really trying to convert her completely.
You missed "being unable to enjoy a movie/sports event/concert/travel/etc fully if at all because at some point your thoughts simply turn to 'god I need a cigarette'"
