When I think of all the smoke that went up in thin air!

I'm an equipment operator for a logging outfit. Its a high-balling company which means its geared for high production. In a typical day, I have to find the right time in the 9-hour day where I can pull my lunchbox open (on the run, mind you) and grab a sandwich or drink of water. No lunch-break, no coffee-break, 9 hours of nonstop frantic production.
That said, I've been a smoker for 40 years. In the typical workday, I would normally smoke a pack and a half of smokes per day. Since my hands were always busy running controls, much or most of the time, those cigarettes were just hanging from my lips.
When I began vaping, I was curious just how many carts it would take to get me through a day. I began by carrying 4 extra carts. That is what I continue to carry after a month of cigarette-free vaping on the job.
The amazing thing(to me anyway) is that I have yet to use a second cart during the day. I don't deprive myself. I just take a couple hits when I want or need them, but make no effort to reduce my nicotine intake.
Most of that pack-and-a-half a day that I smoked previously went up in the air into second hand smoke which I suppose I ingested.
I actually considered myself a relatively heavy smoker, but I guess I wasn't actually taking in as much nicotine as I thought--just burning it up. I like being able to pamper my addiction with a bit of precision:).
FWIW, I am vaping 36 mg atomic cinnicide, but only one cart in a hard 9-hour day? I feel good about it.

That's a great story and equally impressive success as well. 36+ years of smoking I know exactly what you mean getting so wrapped up in work that there were many cigs that I only took one or two puffs from before they were done.

And as you said, one of the great things about our PV's is that you can grab it, vape it and put it away within seconds - any time you want to. Try and do that with a cig!

Good Luck and stay safe!
