Hello everyone,my intentions was to ask @Rob Fisher and @Silver but decided to create a thread so everyone could give there input,I was just thinking earlier if there was no such a thing as vaping then what would I have done with all the time I spent buying vape gear,mixing juice,browsing the forum,anything vape related,imagine a world without any vaping,no Eciggsa forum,no vape shops,what do you think you would have done with all that time? Perhaps another hobby? Nothing? Please share your thoughts
 
@Slick good question... firstly I probably would be dead because 4 years ago I was suffering from heavy smoking for 40 odd years... if I was still alive I would probably be fishing a little more and spending time in my Boat Garage playing with my tackle. And chatting on a fishing forum. ;-)
 
Ime going to keep it short and sweet.

Life would have been crappy and i would still be a smoker and stink like crap.I would have wasted tons and tons of money on a slow suicidal mission and 10 2 one wont live to see my grand kids.

And another thing that comes to mind is the people i would have never met such amazing and kind harted folk like i met on the forum and that i met thru vapeing.
 
Ah what an interesting thread! I'd have a lot more money in the bank; a lot more cupboard space and a lot less frustration at my Internet connection which keeps bombing out. In addition, I'd have a huge stock of barefoot sandals made and ready to sell when the hoards of visitors arrive for the season - instead I haven't even started making them yet - AND I still have to learn how to!! I wouldn't have Vapers Thumb from pressing the on/off button on my device 5 times. Furthermore, I'd be asleep at 01:19 instead of being on the forum. Ah! What a blissful life that would be - money in my pocket, barefoot sandals on my feet and a pillow beneath my head.

Thanks and I agree its a good question @Slick

For me, without vaping and this forum I would most likely still be smoking.
And that would have been detrimental to my health.
I dreaded stopping smoking and when I found vaping and this forum I could not believe how easy and fun it was.
Without it I fear I may have stopped smoking way too late (the conventional way).

The money spent on vaping is worth it for me - for the health benefits I believe in the long term.
The time spent on coiling, pitstopping and the forum has been well worth it too for several reasons:
  • Without some of the people that helped me on this forum, I probably would NOT have stayed on vaping (in the early days)
  • It's been a motivational factor that has often kept me going when things got tough
  • It's been hugely fun and has allowed me an outlet to "switch off" from the normal work mode and do something totally different and fun. It's helped me to destress big time.
If there was no vaping and ECIGSSA I think i would still be smoking, be less healthy than I am now, probably more stressed than I am now. I probably would have spent more time on the normal work.

Am very grateful that vaping came along
 
The vaping has definitely improved my health! In saying that, for me the biggest thing that vaping has done for me is giving me access to the forum, and getting to meet, and hang out with so many fun people all the time.

It really started off as just a way of finding out information, but once you've asked that first question, and got the right answer from a complete stranger, the hook is set and there is no turning back, the forum and vaping have become a big part of my identity!

:campeon:
 
Stressed, unhealthy and hating myself for it. I'd definitely still be smoking and at the rate I was going probably two to three times the amount I was when I found vaping.

Vaping has helped me curb my intake of sugar and has given me ways to decompress that doesn't involve staring at a screen (for the most part).
Funnily enough vaping has also helped me strengthen my relationship with my dad which is really cool too.
 
I would still smoke, coughing my lungs into my mouth every morning, stinking of stale cigarettes, clothes and house smelling, wouldn't matter what colour paint to decorate house as every wall and door would end up being tobacco dirty yellow and easily getting bored so off to the pub.
 
I would still be smelling and coughing. Wife would be moaning about ashtrays, butts and empty packets all over the place. Car would be smelling...... all the stuff smokers go through.

But most importantly, since I started vaping permanently, my kids did not have to use their asthma pumps. We use to give them before bed if their chests sounded tight and sometimes wake up in the middle of the night if one had a weezing chest. Since I started vaping I had no more of that. And no, I didnt even smoke in the house back then.
