Hey, you're lucky to have a pre-menopausal woman who consents at all.
My husband would probably LOVE to be in your shoes. Andria
That used to happen to me ALL the time; I burnt a hole in the back of several of my favorite shirts from the stupid thing flying back in and landing between me and the seat-back, which is mighty hard to deal with, when you're driving! I had to learn to roll the window all the way down and put my arm COMPLETELY out, to keep that from happening.
Now it's so nice, not having to roll the window down at all, enjoying the nice AC instead of the summer heat/humidity. And I'm sure it'll be equally nice in the winter, not having to roll the window down when it's cold, raining, etc.

Not getting ash in your eye. No catching a burning coal between your fingers when the filter decides to glue itself to your lip.
Bad side effect: Now I can smell everything, and most of it STINKS! Have to buy all new soap, laundry detergent, shampoo, air fresheners, fabric softener, candles, garbage bags, deodorant.... Good food tastes better but mediocre food tastes WORSE!
My wallet has also lost some weight. All this money saving from quitting smoking is making me go broke!

That was the whole reason I first started looking into vaping, it was so cold last winter -- coldest winter in Atlanta in over 30 yrs. So I'm pretty grateful we had such weird weather last winter, or I'd probably still be puffin butts out on the porch!

No more nasty chew stuck in my teeth. No more receding gum lines. No more icky chew breath. I could go on for hours.
Although this thread is about smoking, I was a chewer so I figured I'd post anyway.

No more singeing my long hair on windy days. 
No more lighting the wrong end

Never thought about this until now but it's nice to not have to worry about what to do with the butts when there's no ashtray around. I flyfish and kind of felt bad about flicking buts into the river but did it anyway ... but not anymore.
Above all, the smell. I can stealth vape in the bathroom, and no one knows. The lack of smell makes it a much more private habit. Now, I know that if I don't get a job, it's not because I smell like cigarette smoke.
Just don't use stainless steel drip tips, especially in the cold.

I use to have to go outside to smoke at work and hear the complaints of "you smell like a cig". Now I can sit back at work and vape inside and all I hear is "hey that smells good and your making me hungry" lol

Ha! That whole thing is a lie. She's post-menopausal. Based on your comments, I think she hit menopause 30 minutes after she said "I do" 25 years ago with only a brief break in her celibacy for breeding. I thought the upcoming millennium was making her amorous at the time and my luck had changed for the better. But it turns out she just wanted to reproduce and with my backed up stockpile of artillery did the job with one or two barrages.
My dear wife, who doesn't smoke, would never complain about my breath when I smoked. She'd kiss me without so much as a hint that I stink...
Now she says I don't smell like an ashtray anymore, and she likes.

I CAN SMELL THINGS. And everything smells so much better. Except, you know. That smells horrid and I never put much thought into it, but ya, mine stinks. :+(
I use tapatalk on my mobile and there is a like option [emoji6]

My wonderful wife is a never-smoker, but I smoked when she met me, so she never, ever complained, she simply asked no smoking in the house. 11+ years of that is over with! I can vape in the house anytime. She claims my vapor smells like cake batter
I have not smoked in my car or house for many,many years. It is nice when it gets cold out (and in Florida it does get cold sometimes) that I can go inside and vape away. Or in my car.
I was happy about vaping in bed too... Until I read the Cat Pg issue thing. Since my cat sleeps next to me I no longer vape in bed. I never noticed an issue prior to reading that and of course I did not blow vape in his face but I still worry that even blowing it just in the room could somehow harm him.
I am surprised at how many of you threw your butts out of car windows etc.

Good and bad. This delicate little cat (with tiny feet) is now happy to spend lots of time in my lap. Good, because I can't get up and do things when she's there, bad because that's a lot of lbs. per square inch on each of those feet.
ROFL!!! Well I discovered this particular downside of post-menopause about 6 months into it. If I had insurance, I could get some of that estrogen goop... but no insurance here, so celibacy has to reign in my household.
I don't like it any better than my husband does, but compared to agonizing pain... I'll deal. Actually he doesn't mind that much, since that means he doesn't have to buy or take those little blue pills. Andria

Yeah even with the celibacy, I get a lot more hugs and kisses since I don't smell like an ashtray anymore.
Kisses, I can take or leave, but more hugging is always a good thing.
