What pleasures can you now revisit,,,,,,,

[vrodder]

now that you are vaping ?? I'm sure we all had some things that we really enjoyed doing back in the analog days. Thought it would be interesting to see what they might be.

As for me:

• Can vape in my truck to & from work
• vape while looking over repair manuals, schematics, etc at work
• The before & after shower vape
• Using the "Throne"

I'm sure I'll think of more. Let's hear yours!

Being able to thoroughly enjoy the wonderful smells of moistened earth and wet grass after a light rain shower. I experienced this for the first time in probably 30 years after becoming smoke-free. For me, it was one of those uncommon "stop you in your tracks" moments where you just have to enjoy the moment for what it is.

I garden, and loved the scent of a hybrid tea rose. I can now actually smell them.

Im alive and not dead anymore.

Being able to chase the grand kids around the house or park without doubling over gasping after the first minute.
Being able to taste my food again, which also means I can cook again.
Not having to worry about second hand smoke

I just had the same experience a couple days ago. I had forgotten how good it smells outside after it rains. Freshly cut grass is another one that I haven't really noticed in years, and I'm looking forward to the next time they mow the lawn here.

Being able to taste food again, on the other hand, has been a bit of a bummer. My favorite foods in recent years were mostly junk food - pizza rolls, hot pockets, ramen noodles, etc. Now I've come to discover that they mostly taste like crap. It's left me a bit lost and confused when I go to the grocery store.

To be in a public space in close proximity to others and not having to worry if there is a cigarette odor coming off me, and filling the whole room

 

[MoonLit_Water]

Not having to find a place to smoke. Tasting and smelling the world as it was meant to. Climbing stairs without wondering if I'll make it to the next floor.

For me, just being able to vape in some places

Nah, you aren't smelling what you think after it rains. That's sewage and pollution washed down from the sky.

OH WAIT, just because you are from Cincy doesn't mean you are in over the rhine. Yeah, maybe you are smelling what you think. It is a good smell.

Beer tastes sooooo much better!

 

[Zuxana]

I am enjoying that I can actually put my car windows up and use the AC now that it's summer. My sense of smell is coming back too. Not always a good thing, I've discovered

 

[Ken62]

not killing my daughter; sitting through an entire movie; vaping while watching TV; driving with the windows up and AC on; tasting food; tasting coffee; not getting "you should quit" from family at gatherings...

Most of all, I enjoy knowing that I am extending my life so I can enjoy my grandchildren once my daughters decide to have kids.

Clean clothing that still smells clean at the end of the day and outerwear that does not need dry cleaning once a week. My pets spend more time close to me and don't run away when I vape (okay not 100% sure on that one).

 

[Leithan]

Vaping on the can.......is pretty epic
Smelling and tasting stuff again is nice
No more "dad your killing yourself" guilt trips from the kids
Laying in bed watching tv and vaping.....pretty damn epic
My Bradley crew is a lot happier, especially my gunner who would have to put up with me buttoned up in the turret for hours on end. My driver and gunner (both non smokers) would bring cigs to the field so they wouldn't have to deal with my wrath if I ran out.

 

[Worzel]

Vaping in the house! Vaping in the car! Sneak a tokes in the restrooms of places that restrict smoking! Love it! Saving monies not buying cigarettes!

My first spring I was out mowing and smelling good stuff and kept looking around to see where all the flowers and stuff was.

There weren't many yet- the air alone is what smelled that sweet. Good stuff! 35yrs waiting to smell that again.

OTOH- 10yr old boys mid-summer = Bad.
