As I await the delivery of my first PV hardware/software (shipment confirmed as going out today, hooray!), I am daydreaming about what lies in store for me in this new endeavor. Here's a list of some of the things I'm looking forward to in my life as a vaper. It's a "top ten + then some" list, in no particular order, except for the first one; followed by my predictions on the future impact of vaping:
- NOT ingesting 4000+ chemicals!
- Gaining back my life 10 minutes at a time: no longer holding up other people or myself while I step outside the car, the house, a restaurant, etc. for a cig.
- More social time: won't need to segregate myself from non-smoking friends in the midst of a visit or outing.
- No more braving intense heat or frrrrreezing cold to steal a few precious puffs.
- No sense of waste if I only want just a few puffs: with the price of analogs, I often smoke more of a cig than I truly care for, because smoking a previously lit/stubbed out/relit cig tastes awful; rather than doing that or stubbing out a good length of pricey unsmoked cig, I tend to finish it up, even when I'm already satisfied.
- Since I won't "have to" puff a predetermined number of times as with analogs, but can take a puff just here and there as I wish, I expect my overall intake will naturally decrease.
- That attractive hoiking sound first thing in the morning? Adios.
- Won't have to keep pushing my kids back at arm's length (this is, by far, one of my favorite prospects about vaping).
- Can have some puffs while I wash dishes and do other housework, instead of interrupting the flow of things to pause for a puff. (Wait; this is good, right?)
- Won't have that self-conscious shame of smelling of burnt smoke on my hair, clothes, breath, etc.
- Won't bypass opportunities to stay at lovely "non-smoking only" hotels when travelling or on vacation.
- Can vape in the room w/kids while homeschooling (during certain subjects, I truly jones for a puff!)
- No more wasting a freshly-lit smoke because I had to suddenly answer the phone, help the kids, whatever; then come back to find an expensive line of ash in the tray where my cig had been.
- No more scrambing around for lighters or chafing my thumb on those rough wheels in attemps to get a cheapo lighter to work.
- No more driving over 100 miles each way to get a deal on bulk purchases of cartons from the Reservation.
- I'm looking forward to my senses coming alive again!
- Enjoy a drink and a puff together at the same time inside a bar? Srsly? Oh yes, I'd like that.
- Long drives w/kids in car won't feel quite so long if I can vape!
- I finally know what to ask Santa for stocking stuffers.
- I'll be able to puff while in my square dance outfit (stop laughing. I adore square dancing). Have you seen how far those skirts stick out? I've burned holes in $85 crenalins for want of a quick puff at the break.
- No more guessing at nictoine strength by purchasing cigs by their "colors" ("Are my cigs now 'blue' box or 'orange' box or what?") ever since analog manufacturers can no longer use the forbidden word "lights." I can purchase or mix up the exact e-juice nic mix I want, even if that's zero. Try to find *that* in an analog cig.
- Tastes galore!! Coffee, chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, piña colada, rose (!), and even peanut butter and roast beef! (Not that I'd mix those last two together.) Far more taste choices than tobacco, that tobacco, or this other tobacco.
- The Kewl Factor: "...saay, what's THAT you've got there?"
- The Stealth Factor: PVs without LED for more descreet puffing.
- No longer having to stand in the Penalty Box at stadiums, theme parks, and other places that confineheathens smokers to a 3' x 5' rectangle painted on the ground.
NEW TRENDS TO LOOK FOR AS VAPING BECOMES MORE PREVALENT:
- The old opener of "Care for a light?" will become, "Hey, baby, can I give you a charge?" LOL!
- More off-color pick up lines can be imagined if one considers PVs as something new, different and exciting to put into one's mouth.
- 7-11s, Circle Ks and the like will carry e-juice and carts (maybe even bats & attys, too) just as commonly as they now stock cigs & lighters (are you listening, PV and e-juice vendors?)
- Holly Golightly "cig holders" will become all the rage, combining fashion with a much longer and stronger batt built into the length of the "holder."
- instead of ashtrays at building entrances, bar counters, etc., you'll find little PV charging stations. They'll be as ubiquitous as wi-fi is getting to be today.
- In a similar vein, Vaping Cafés will pop up like cyber cafés have, because vapers will want to congregate together, not because they're an ostricized group.
- Anti-smoking folks will get to find more worthy causes to throw their energies into.
- Smoking Jackets will make a comeback as Vaping Capes, designed with internally wired pouches for charging batts (pouches removable for washing).
- Analog manufacturers will start marketing their cigs in black papers and perhaps find (yet another!) chemical to add to their tobacco such that the tip burns blue or green or purple. Ha!
- instead of bumming a cig, people will ask, "Hey buddy, can you spare a cart?"
- iPhones won't keep suggesting "gapers" when we try to type in "vapers."
- People will return to enjoying a nice, satisfying puff in bed after a nice, satisfying... :whistles:
