I didn't know Gummi Bears had distinctly different flavors. I knew they were supposed to, but I didn't think it was true. I thought there was sort of a generic fruity Gummi Bear flavor. I'm sitting here eating one at a time, quite fascinated.

I noticed this with Jelly Beans at Easter too.

I have a cranberry zippo I love... I really miss it!!!

I've got a BLU Zippo that I still use when I'm making my bracelets. Funny thing was I had shipped all my old broken zippo's back to be repaired and about 3 days after I started vaping they showed up in the mail. (Won't ever get rid of them cause they were all gifts from friends long gone.)

I noticed that the world STINKS LOL I can smell better now which should be a good thing right? No! First off I work at a gas station. Every time someone fuels up I can smell the gas, I could never smell it before. yeah you can smell the flowers and grass but I can also smell the fertilizer. LOL I can also smell peoples BO and Bad breath much better then I did when I was smoking. :(

ok now to change topics:
There is a lot of people that miss there lighters.
It's weird not having a lighter handy when you need to light a candle or to burn the oil from Kanthal wire. Also (and I realize I'm probably just very lucky) haven't had a cold since I stopped smoking.

Everyone around me knows I always have a lighter and when I started vaping they kept asking for it and I would check my pockets each and every time wondering where the hell is it

Playing with my zippo used to be able to do all kinds of neat tricks besides lighting an analog of course. Now let's come up with some pv magic.

Also no one has mentioned trying to flick the ashes on their pv used to do that all the time.

went to light a candle but couldn't find a lighter or a match

no bic lighter to open my beer!

I miss having a lighter to open beer bottles. Now I have to ask if someone has an opener

Having to make it a point to bring matches or a lighter on camping trips.


I'm with JENerationX and tnt56. I make sure to carry a lighter with me at all times. I think everybody should carry a lighter at all times. I am kind of a survival nut LOL and you never know when you might have to light a fire to keep warm or boil water, cook food, etc... you dont want to get caught in the Zombie apocalypse with out a lighter :D



To this day... I always grab a lighter or make sure I have a lighter in my purse. I have no idea what I need it for, but it's part of the habit that never died.

We are all lucky in that smoking Cesstion does not bring on some of the more horrible withdrawal symptoms often encoutered in the wild of some illegal drugs. And even at that legal drugs too, for instance if you are taking a 'heavy' SSRI Antidepressant and run out of pills and you think "Oh I'll just wait a week to get them there pills from the doctor" - Big mistake. Coming off of some SSRIs is more hellish than some other drugs.

i hear that. i'm on 2 SSRIs, a gaba inhibitor, and a mood stabilizer.
when i run out of my meds and forget to order more i go nuts. like constant panic attacks and the like

Having only been doing this for a few days, there's lots of weird stuff:

- My boss has told me that it's ok to vape in my office, which I do...but I still go outside to vape sometimes, just not nearly as often.

- That moderate sense of panic when I reach for my pocket and there's no lighter there, until...oh yeah, I don't need one.

- Feeling "naked" because my pockets aren't bulging with my pack 'o analogs and a lighter.

- I still vape on the back patio at home most of the time, even though my wife is fine with my vaping indoors. But I have a rockin' patio, so that's part of it.

- Remembering to grab a bottle opener for my beer rather than reaching for my lighter.

- subconsciously flicking my PV as to remove the invisible ash

- Numerous "where the heck is my ash tray" moments.

- vaping with the windows down and blowing the vapor up through my sun-roof while driving

And so many more!
