Vaping rituals?

[generic mutant]

Very definitely. I have a pair of Magnetos I use as 'beaters', part ghetto-rubberised with bicycle inner tube, so I carry them around a lot. I have a minor obsession with trying to spin the locking ring in one smooth movement, just like this:

It only really works when the mod is horizontal. If I screw a Genisis on one one day, I'm going to make a horrible mess.

Also I have a few battery related 'superstitions', like leaving them to stand for 1/2 hour going on or off the charger. I suspect that contributes to safety, but I have no idea by how much, and no particular reason to think 1/2 hour is the magic number.

before bed, i make sure any battery i've used at all during the day, gets on a charger. even if i only used it a little. i also make sure all my tanks are full, clean, ready to go if i need them. also if i do a rebuild of anything before bed and test it out, sometimes it's such a good vape i don't want to put it down to go to bed.

Lol, apparently I'm stranger than I thought!

Nawwww... no special vaping rituals here
When I started vaping (and made the switch from tobacco cigarettes to e-cigarettes effortlessly, lucky me!) I did a conscious effort to transform all smoking rituals into vaping rituals.
You know, like the cigarette with my morning coffee, when making a phone call, when relaxing, when having a drink with friends, to take a break etc etc.... and it worked quite well, until all former smoking rituals had become vaping rituals, and I reach for the PV as naturally as I used to reach for my smokes.

Apart from that: nawwww... nothing special here

Yup, pretty much me too. I literally replaced smoking with vaping after the first day. (I had one cigarette left and of course, smoked it after starting vaping). I've had crazy cravings now and then, but I just vaped my .... off, and they eventually went away. Haven't really even noticed them in the last month or so. Been too busy vaping and mixing new juices lol! That's why I asked about new habits/rituals specifically linked to vaping. Apparently I'm not alone, but there aren't exactly a lot of us. (at least that have admitted it yet lol)

I'm a tip chopper, too - most of my evods have teeth marks in them. LOL I've even cracked a few...oops

Love sitting down every morning and filling my tanks for the day - digging around the juice box deciding what flavors to vape every day, and trying to remember how many times I've refilled a particular tank (usually refill 2-3 times before setting a tank aside to be cleaned).

Lol, I've heard about people cracking them (Eric from DV admitted it too), but haven't done it yet. Never say never right?

I had to think about this one. I guess I do have a ritual. Wow. Who knew. In the morning I have to use my SiD for a couple of hits and then drip for a few minutes while I read the news. Then I put all my eGo's on their chargers and fill tanks. I line up all the tanks and any devices not requiring chargers and pick a flavor to vape while getting ready for my day. I always have two flavors going for work with my eGo's but at home I just hit the SiD with Cafe Mocha or the dripper with Suicide Bunny's Mother's Milk (OMG YUM). I only drip at home or the vape shop that I am at every two or three days to hang and talk shop. When at the shop I only drip. My only ritual with analogs was packing in the palm of my hand and slowly ripping away the foil. I never flipped the first cig. And then.....at night in bed whilst playing Bookworm on my ipad and listening to the television, I only chain vape my Evod eGo with Protank II Mini.

Wow. Sounds like a great ritual though! I've heard nothing but good things about Mother's Milk, gonna have to try it. I don't know if it's just me, but I get a calm and relaxed feeling just by reading and imagining everyone's rituals lol! Told ya I'm strange lol.

Too funny! I have watched a bunch of GrimGreen's videos, but never saw that one. I want a Magneto now! I'd be spinnin' that bugger too!!!

Haaaaah! I saw some of your posts the other day (love the bubble vape suit!) but didn't notice that you were a local lol! Yeah, you may be right!!!

Lol, they're really tiny aren't they?

In 18350 mode yeah the K100 is tiny

I have a morning ritual that I couldn't do involving cigarettes.

Oh, and the other one is that I lay my tongue on the end of the drip tip before I take a toot.

 

[Scootaloo]

Sort of in the exhale, when the nicotine hit happens I often keep doing a big open mouthed exhale for some reason. I’m not trying to do it fancy it just like some bizarre habit.

I even took a video of it whilst watching a documentary on YouTube

For me that's a good thing though. I'd like a steam train for at home, and a mini steamer for on the go.

Hmmm...you're a male, over 30, and from Florida. That takes me to quite a few places, but I guess we should just leave it to the imagination eh? Lol.
Tonguing before a toot? You're a very interesting man from what I gather already smacuser! I've got an open mind, and I love to laugh. Can't wait to hear more lol!

Omg, too funny! Trust me, I'm laughin' with ya dude!!!
I totally forgot, but your video reminded me that when I used to smoke, people told me I always exhaled out of the left of my mouth with it closed. I never realized I was doing it, and now I wonder if I do it when I vape without knowing!...OMG I DOOOOO! That's insane! Why the heck do our mouths take over?!
Wow, screw strange. I'm totally weird, and you're right there with me hehehe!

Mine is that i tap my chest every hour or so. My ex girlfriend made me a necklace holder for my ego-c knitted. But it would fall out every once in a while (until i got smart and started using a rubber band to secure it). I broke 2 ego-c's in my pocket bending over so now im always tapping my chest to make sure its still there. Im a primer puffer too. When im at home and not ussing the necklace holder i tend to twirl them in my fingers when im not doing other things with my hands.

They're pretty good - I'm a fan. If you're going for the old style, watch the pbusardo video though, as they do have a safety issue (it's relatively easy to fix, as long as you're happy fixing stuff). I don't know if the new style is different.

There's another one my wife and I call the Steam Monkey, but I guess we should just leave that one to the imagination, as well. lol.

I never really noticed some of my ritual until I read this post and paid attention to what I did.
Every few puffs, I take a few primer pulls to make sure the carto in my carto-tank is saturated.
I do the same thing after I top off the tank.
My pinky is usually on the bottom the battery when I used my lighter weight batteries, like my iTaste VV.
If my pinky can't reach the bottom of the battery, it's pointed out.

Nothing too strange, but I'm sure I haven't noticed everything either.
