I don't want to get too ahead of myself, there are several factors in play here...

I'm about to have a hormonal issue, the job situation isn't as bleak as it was last week, I have a lot of stressors under control this last few days, and there hasn't been any sort of death (knock on wood) in several days.

That being said, the financial situation is still total crap, thus affecting my ability to buy a pack of cigarettes. Day 3 of Vaping and I feel no depression symptoms. None.

Might there be something to the Co2 theory?

I'm not looking a gift horse in the mouth or discounting the other things... But the timing is interesting.

I'm glad you are not having any depression and that things aren't as bad as they were.

I might be making connections where there are none, but what does vaping have to do with no depression symptoms? I vape, but I've never heard anything about it affecting depression, either positively or negatively.

There's a theory that high co2 concentrations lead to... Not depression, but increased bouts of depression. Smoking analogs increases co2. I'm just wondering if the drop in co2 helped kick this round of depression sooner. Not that I'll get an answer, just wondering. It'll be a one off if it did, the oxygen counts will normalize the more I get away from smoking.

It really is wondering out loud. There's a theory that, not depression itself, but bouts of depression can be attributed to increased levels of co2 - which smoking analogs causes a build up of. IF this bout ended prematurely due to increased levels of oxygen, it would be a welcome one off.
