Just curious.  Why do you vape?

Cause I enjoy it and it got me off of cigs. And I do not use Salt Nic. That shit doesn't agree with me. Typically make my own juice.

ETA: Been on 3mg NIC for about 4 years and after about a month of vaping went down to it. Works for me at the low nic levels.

But why do you need to vape?

In all fairness, if I had more options for the poll, I probably should have included oral fixation - abet I don’t know how many people would choose to admit it.  That said, I do think it is wired into our DNA.  We are programmed to graze.  Be it chewing or hand to mouth movements - they are part of our nature.  I think it is part of the reason people are overweight, I think it contributes heavily to the addictions to drinking - both soda and alcohol.  There is no question in my mind, part of the reason I am currently enjoying a tube mec mod (over the vastly superior regulated mods I own) is in part to the fact that it feels more like a long neck in my hand.  The circumference is about the same as the neck of the beer bottle, and being machined from metal it has a good deal of the weight as well.

FWIW, I voted to piss off pajama boy - but honestly oral fixation probably plays as much into it as it does with my wife’s obsession to chew gum while driving a car.

I went from a pack a day Marlboro menthol and a can a day of cope in Afghanistan, to vaping for a few years, to general snus when my Provari broke for a couple years, to Chantix and sunflower seeds.

It's been months, and I still miss it all.

I started when I needed something other than caffeine to keep me alert on long-distance nighttime drives.  A hit of nicotine works well.  And it's not illegal.

Pretty much why I still do it. I enjoy it and am on the lowest nic at 3mg. Really need to change the coil out in my squank or at least the cotton.

To quit smoking, been vaping for close to 13 years,  I've only had 1 real cig since day one, and that was back in 2013. Tasted like shit and made me feel horrible.
Used to smoke 2-3 packs a day for 27 years, only flavor I vape is tobacco.

I had a cig after vaping for 4-6 months and it tasted like shit. And I smoked about the same amount of years like you did. When I really got into vaping to quit I avoided the tobacco flavors mainly cause they all tasted like shit to me. Fruit and desert are my choice. Yet each to their own. Had a buddy at my last job that hated any flavor unless it was tobacco like you. He ran out of juice and didn't have his bottle to refill it and asked if I had some cause he knew I was one of the very few that vaped. I gave him some juice and then he bitched cause it was a fruit flavor instead of tobacco. Next time he asked I told him to fuck off beggers cannot be chosers. I said ok you are correct I am sorry for bitching your juice is not what I vape sorry for being an ass.

Keeps me off cigarettes until I have the self control to quit all nicotine use, and I save almost $300/month over smoking.

I never really smoked before. Every now and then I’d bum one when drinking.

Randomly started vaping and should probably quit or dial down the nicotine to zero

To quit smoking. Vaping is magnitudes better than smelling like a stinky cigg and diminishing your health.

Started vaping a month ago to quit smoking. haven't had a cigarette since.

I know that's not very long, but definitely feel my health has improved.

I like the fruit and dessert flavors.

I have not taken a hit off a cigarette in over 5 years.  The members in this subforum gave me the advice and direction to get equipment that actually worked at reducing my cigarette cravings.  Eventually I was building my own devices and mixing my own juice.  I vaped nic juice for about 6 months, and then another 6 months or so of 0 nic vaping.  I spent a lot, (kayfuns, provaris, DNAs etc,) and learned a lot (mosfets, pfets and OKRs).  Best of all I don't smoke anymore.

To those of you who were around then, thank you.  Sincerely.

Its cheap as dirt to make juice and better health wise than smoking.  Also better than dipping too much.  I like to diversify my habbits and not overdo anyone.
