What do I like the most? Really, there are a LOT of things I like about vaping, but if I had to pick just one, it's rebuilding an atomizer and getting it right. With cigarettes, there was no skill involved, no such thing as a "good" smoke or a "bad" smoke" (well, they're ALL bad, but I digress).

When I get a coil and wick just right and it gives me what I consider to be a perfect vape? Heavenly!

That is a very simple question to answer.

The thing I like most about vaping is it allowed me to stop smoking cigarettes. All other pluses, if there really are any, comes in a distant second.

If it wasn't for the personal vaporizers that we all use in many shapes and sizes I would be smoking a cigarette right now. I'm not and that is so much a "PLUS" no words really describe it.

> The vapor isn't offensive to bystanders.

> Vaping satisfies the need for nic and the hand to mouth habit

> It's relaxing to vape and there's no harmful carcinogens in the vape

> Your lungs and sense of smell recover from smoking while you are vaping

> It's less expensive than smoking (if you read ECF and buy the right hardware and juice without trying one of everything).

> And the best part: You don't have to go through tobacco withdrawal like you did when you quit cold turkey.

I enjoy, for lack of a better term, dosage control. When I smoked, I would light up and even if I only felt like a drag or two, there would still be an entire cigarette/cigar to smoke. Sure, you could put it out, but everyone here that smoked knows how vile that really is when you relight it anyway. I can vape as much or as little as I want, at lower or higher wattage, whichever flavor at whatever nicotine concentration I feel is appropriate. It's cheaper by a long shot (cigarettes in Canada are outrageously expensive!) and nowhere near as harmful physically (vapor molecules are much larger than smoke particulates and cannot be inhaled as deeply into the lung structure) and chemically (the known effects of tar and carbon monoxide, aside the thousands of other by products of combustion far outweigh the potential risks of pg/VG chronic inhalation).

The hobby aspect is perhaps the Achilles heel of vaping, as most users are, by their very natures, addictive personalities. I think it's a question of finding a rig that works for you first and foremost.

I vape off a mvp2.0 kayfun at 6 watts, its the perfect alternative to cigarettes. There is no need for lighting and dedicating yourself, theres no ash or butts to deal with, there's no open flammable cherries, theres a healthier more "pluming" inhail, it's just all around better.

Vaping on the way to work and being able to vape at work without having to take 5 mins away from what your doing just makes an awesome experience.

1) Quitting analogs. 2) I can actually exercise now (running more than 50ft isn't a problem anymore! lol). 3) The hobby aspects of it.

I feel the exact same way. I let myself get so out of shape over the past eight years (went from a manual labor job to sitting behind a desk in my basement office and never exercised but smoked 2+ PAD). I would be out of breath just going upstairs for coffee and hated that. I could never exercise because of the bad health which I blamed on the weight but once I started vaping and quit smoking I noticed my breathing got better. Over the past month I have watched what I ate and started exercising (riding a bike and using my bowflex). I feel great and have lost 3 notches from my belt and shirts that were tight are now loose. I love the fact that vaping allows me to exercise again. Life is good again, yay!

the freedom. when i was smoking cigs i had to be outside smoking. and at my college that meant a 10 minute walk from my dorm to the "designated smoking area" and being surrounded by several very suspect people. not to mention having to be outside in the cold and if anyone else is from the baltimore area you know last winter was a ....*. now i can vape mostly anywhere
