Good thread @Pieter Geldenhuys

Initially it was to try cut down on smoking and try stop smoking
Which worked

Now it has become a hobby and I love all the different flavours!

I am in the exact same boat as @Silver ........ from a smoke killer to a avid hobby.
Which makes this hobby so great is the diversity of fields in which one can play.
Testing flavours, making wire combos', different builds, variety of hardware ......... so much fiddling that can be done.
I must say becoming part of such a wonderful community was a huge added bonus.

Was a 2 pack smoker a day for 12 years, even though i had severe asthma. Landed up in ICU for 2 weeks with fluid in my lungs. Got out and went straight to Clearwater mall and bought a twisp, that was 3 years ago and the rest they say is history. Now vape just for the pleasure of it. Its my vice but i love the taste, smell, and because its just so damn fun. Also im addicted to nicotine, but thats a given

Like most I started to stop smoking.

Now I Vape partly to keep of the cigarettes but vaping 1mg nic I can go a day or two without vaping and not crave the nicotine at all anymore so that's more of an excuse than anything. Mostly I Vape cause of the hobby, all the tastes and all the new toys

Im also sailing aboard the to stop smoking boat and vaping has worked brilliantly in keeping the boat afloat. Next Feb will be 12 months.
The vaping transformation for me is that now it is a lifestyle.

Stopped smoking through vaping and really enjoying it.

Started vaping to quit stinkies , started again with stinkies few months ago but back again on the vaping ..... it's a see-saw battle sometimes especially with an addictive personality.....

 

[papabear]

For me its purely fun. Love the smells, tastes and fluffy clouds.

PS. Never been a smoker.

I started vaping because I HATE money. I just want to throw it all away. What better way to do that than throwing it into the endless Vaping abyss! I'm sure all of the folk thats been on here for a while hates money as much I do. Some hate it so much that they buy DNA's and Reosmods. Even seen some extreme money haters buying Mechanical Mods for R2K+.

Actually started to get off the smellies, couldnt breath well, my sons chest wasnt doing too great etc. Then it became a hobby, and here I am today, paying insurance on vape stuff (my mommy is so proud of me).

 

[PsyCLown]

So for me, at first I thought it was stupid as I have never smoked and surely this stuff can't be good for you... right? Then I met this girl, she smoked and I hate smoking - but I liked her!
My friend got himself a vape as he thought it was fun and an alternative to hubbly and then the idea grew on me. The clouds were kinda cool.

I then put two and two together and me being me, I ended up joining this forum to do some proper research before running out and purchasing a Twisp.
I got my GF a device and then after trying my friends vape (Cuboid Mini) I decided I wanted one for myself too.

Since then my GF has stopped smoking completely and is even able to vape 0mg juice without any cravings.
I vape for the fun of it, it has become a hobby of sorts with the coil building and DIY juice mixing and I guess looking for the ultimate vape which is a never ending journey.

I had stopped smoking for a few years, I was introduced to Vaping by a close friend.

Primarily I Vape for the flavour and fact i need to keep my hands busy, i also use it as a reason to take a break from work.

 

[RichJB]

I think I'm one of the few who didn't start vaping to quit smoking - because I'd already quit cold turkey for a month before I started vaping. What I missed about smoking was not so much the nicotine but the manual routine of it, plus the fun of blowing out clouds. This is where vaping beats patches for me, it replicates the routine of smoking very closely.

 

[PSySpin]

For me it also was to stop smoking the stinkies, but now its a hobby and also that relaxing moment where you sit at home after a long day of work take a big drag and blow clouds

I feel uncomfortable if my hands are empty

 

[Ian_F]

Started vaping to get off cigarettes, which was a phenomenal success.
figured out I actually have tastebuds, and can smell, so now I'm a simple flavour chaser...

 

[Lord Vetinari]

What got me into it was a need to quit smoking, whats keeping me fascinated is the DIY scene and the boundless creativity expressed. It is like being part of rock n roll in the 60's. Just plain fun and exciting. Just sort of really LOVE juice.

 

[Huffapuff]

After trying just about everything to quit smoking I realized that I was more hooked on the mechanical actions of smoking than nicotine itself. So I had to trick my addictive personality into thinking I was still smoking - thus vaping. And it's worked better than anything else I tried - it's been over a year now and still going well.

Nicotine.

'nuff said

I never chose the vape life, the vape life chose me.

So true!

 

[gdigitel]

mmm...
I started vaping because the smell of stinkies was hampering my after dark recreational activities. Along with my wife's pregnancy she got some superhuman olfactory sensitivity amongst other abilities.
Vaping has become a lifestyle bordering on obsession for me. I scare myself at times when I realize how much time, money and effort my newly found "lifestyle" is consuming. Then I take another drag... and all my concerns go up in clouds.
I am definitely a nicotine addict, but I also really enjoy all the tinkering involved - it suits my inner geek.

after dark recreational activities

hmmmm....
