Bravo @inswva on your 3 year milestone!! 
Like you my switch was immediate, alas I wasn't strong enough to keep any ciggies lingering around. smoked my last one the night before my kit was due to arrive. that was 4 years ago last month.

I have a similar story. I've been cigarette free for 14 months except for one Cuban cigar I smoked with my bro-n-law as we chatted on the back porch while sipping Gran Centenario Anejo Tequila and drinking Genesee Cream Ale.
They found a spot on my lung May 2016. When I left the doctors office I threw a 1/2 pack out the window and never lit another cigarette.
I had surgery to remove the upper lobe of my right lung, that was almost exactly one year ago today. Lymph nodes they removed from the area proved to be cancer free. I've had 3 follow up with the Oncologist with good results.
Lots of people have asked me how I seemed to quit smoking so easily to which I reply "I was highly motivated"
vaping is a crutch for the nicotine addicted which I have accepted.

Yep, great milestone, a big heavy one. No matter how you got here, the journey was a grand eyeopener when I passed my 3yr mark, working on my 5yr vapaversary myself.
Keep on
Keep on
Well done! I have only been vaping a few weeks but its helping me never want a stinky again. When i do get an itch i vape and read inspiring posts like this and imagine all the lego i can afford in the future from not buying tobacco 
I share your amazement. In the beginning, I read of people celebrating several years. I wanted so much to be able to be that far along, but I wondered if it would really happen. It did! I'm 4 years free now (the 2nd of July), and I still can't believe it.
You've got this, inswva! Congratulations!
I had to fight tooth and nail to quit with that ego-kit, and had tried everything for decades to quit, but finally did it with that type of setup. Every year is a new landmark, don't ever let anybody tell you it's not. Buy or do something for yourself to celebrate, you damned well deserve it.
Ditto congratulations on 3 years smoke free!
2pm June 16th, 5 weeks ago, I smoked my last stinkie before walking into a local vape shop on a mission. 48 years smoking 1.5+ PAD and done just like that. Vaping works for sure if ya want it to!
