If I was to give up vaping, then I know I would return to smoking.
I have vaped for two and a half years but I smoked for 49 years.
Perhaps when I have vaped for 49 years I might feel different.
Actually I know I will feel different.
I'll be dead by then!!!
So hopefully by the time I start smoking again, I will be halfway up the crematorium chimney!
No no, vaping has given me far more than just a healthier lifestyle. It has brought with it a financial status that is beyond my wildest dreams, save winning the lottery (which I don't do) and it has pleased the wife no end with our clean and pleasanter smelling house.

Yes, I am amazed by the number of people that think that Vaping is just another "stop smoking" aid. To be fair she was the one that got me on to vaping. She came back with a cig-a-like pack, having given up on trying to get me to go to hypnosis. I was always her expectation that it would be a stop smoking aid, and I suppose it was also mine when I started...it is just I really enjoy it. When mixing my own I am down to less than 5mg (started on 24 mg I think). I no longer get the craving and empty feeling when I wake up, and if I don't vape for a few hours I am not crawling up walls or shouting at people. Even when my battery ran out I didn't really think about buying the stinks. Hopefully I will never go back to those dreadful things that ruled my life for over 30 years, I am just not sure I want to give up the pleasure of a nice custard or cherry menthol. |

I am just not sure I want to give up the pleasure of a nice custard or cherry menthol. Don't.  My intention always was, to find a better/healthier alternative to smoking, never to quit nicotine . . . ecigs have fullfilled all my dreams and some. I can't imagine my life without vaping and all that's associated with it, the friendships and forum I've also found as a result. Love it all I do!  |

Although I smoked for 49 years, I never once thought about building a Smoking Shed in the Back Garden and equipping it with shelves and a desk so that I could keep all my Tobacco and Papers all neat and tidy and then spend my time experimenting with different flavours to produce my "Perfect Blend".
Yet that is exactly what I am doing now with Vaping.
And what is more. I am getting as much fun building it as I am hoping to get using it.

I intend to quit the nicotine at some point but in no rush. Never quit vaping though  Vaping is my hobby and as I said to a medic yesterday - yes I often have to 'fiddle' with my e-cig but I like fiddling with little, ickle bits of wire and cotton wool It would have helped no end though yesterday if I'd remembered to close my fill hole after refilling at kirk LOL Jane |
