Vape Nerd

In Feb 2023 I started smoking again after 10 years off. Within a couple of months I was encouraged to vape rather than smoke, it quickly became a very very regular occurance. (c. 600 puffs a day from a disposable vape).

In August 2023 I got a reusable vape which happened to have a counter on it. Every morning I wake up, record the puff count from the previous day in a google sheet and clear the count. There have been a number of days I’ve missed recording, but in general this has been going ever since. 3 months in I created some initial graphs and realised my location was a significant driver of the number of puffs I do in a day.

Slowly but surely I’m on the way to understanding and therefore reducing my nicotine intake….

Office Attendance

With a 60% expectation of office attendance, of course I made a tracking tool for myself. This is currently non-automated and some digging with the desk booking app data I can’t see that I’ll be able to fully automate the data creation any time soon… time to learn how to webscrape I guess..?
