100 Benefits Of Vaping In SA

[Silver]

Hi all

I saw something similar on ECF but thought we had to have a South African version. I am sure ours will be way more interesting.

Basically, what are the benefits you have found to vaping, since you started? It can be anything but it has to be real and genuine. Try describe it carefully.

I will start the list. Each time you post, continue counting upwards. Try not repeat what someone has posted before. Lets see if we can get to 100.

Here goes...

1. I don't smell of smoke any more, instead I smell like a perfume factory of 5 Pawns and Vapour Mountain.
2. My breathing is a little bit easier. Taking that last bit of air into my lungs doesn't feel so tight anymore.
3. I am getting my nicotine fix without exposing myself to the many carcinogenic byproducts of combustion from smoking.
4. I can smoke indoors at my house and in my office and dont need to go outside every so often for a smoke, which mostly wasted time.
5. The vaping flavour journey is way more exciting than smoking the same cigarette. I thoroughly enjoy trying and tasting each new juice to find the gems.

Hey Riaz - great comments. I think number 7 is a super real benefit.

As for number 9 - fully agree. Imagine what vaping would be like without this forum...

I love number 10 @Matthee!. What do you use to stealth vape in the plane? The REO?

Absolutely, it hides well in the hand and you just double clutch on the inhale to minimize the vapour exhaled. And blow down. No-one till now has been the wiser. For a full session visit the you know what.

how do you get past security with your device?

Good question. When we toured NZ in November 2012 we took some Twisp Clearos for using in the campervan. The customs guys were very wary of them, but satisfied with our explanation. I travelled Cape Town/Amsterdam/Washington with 2 Reos there and 4 Reos back (one was a Xmas present for someone still to be revealed) in my hand luggage. Nobody, not one single person queried the Reos. I was amazed.

not even when you pass the metal detectors?

surely you have to remove them before passing through?

Yes, they were not on my person, but in my hand luggage, which goes through the X-ray chamber.

Wow @Matthee - that's really stealthy

And I assume the vapour from an e-cig does not set off the smoke alarm in an aeroplane toilet?
I think I read that somewhere.
Nevertheless, I suppose if you exhale downwards, the vapour dissipates quite quickly or just disappears before it gets to the smoke detector.

Yes, ecig vapour goes down, cigarette smoke goes up. Heard about the smoke detectors, but still blows down - just in case.

and if the alarm goes off....nothing can happen anyway. the air hostess will come and check, no smell of cigs or fire, so it must have been a false alarm

 

[Gizmo]

Talk about topic derailing haha.

More like deplaning, but you are right. Come on peeps, 74 to go!

You said it @Matthee

27. There is no smelly ash involved and this pleases me greatly.
28. No more accidental cigarette butt drops in the car. I'm sure you are all familiar with the following scenario: "Whoops, dropped my cigarette butt. Let me find it. Oh no, can't find it. Stop the car. Ok I can stop here and get out of my car. Can't find it. Damn! Hope there's no fire starting under my seat"
29. No more accidental drops of my smelly cigarette butt water bottle. This one needs some explanation. When I smoked, I smoked outside. I used a half filled Valpre water bottle to ash into and dispose my cigarette butts. The nice thing is that when its full, you just close the cap and chuck the whole bottle away. But it has to stand open to be used. And on a few occasions it's been knocked over. The stench from the ash and butt liquid that spills out takes literally an hour to clean and only goes away after a few days. So glad that's all over!

71 to go...

30. Girls look sexy when they vape

 

[Silver]

Yep you are right Derick - just a pity I haven't seen ANY of these types of girls vaping yet

Where are you hanging out?

 

[Johnny2Puffs]

31. It becomes a hobby.
32. My burps have improved to the extent that they sound like a Boeing jet passing 6 feet above making my kids very proud of me. Strangely, not my wife though.
33. Everyone gets to know who Mr Ohm was and what he did for us vapers. If it was not for him, these things would not work.
34. Nobody used to look at me and now they stare at me. I have even started combing my hair.

 

[Silver]

LOL Johnny, those are CLASSIC! You had me in loud laughter that my better half came running up to see what was going on.
