My 64 year old father (I'm 39 in case that info is needed at all), who has been smoking since he was 17, and has in the past, quit successfully, but claimed it gets harder and harder (and I believe him)...he's been making fun of my vaping since I started, but today I announced my first successful month of being off ciggies and he said 'wow'.
A little while ago, he asked if he could try it, so I let him hit off my iStick 30w and Subtank, just for a laugh (0 nic at the time in it) (Circus Bear by Vape Wild, good stuff) and he was all...'wow'. I took the liberty of turning it down quite a bit so his first attempt at a vape wouldn't be a massive cloud. So I asked him what he thought, and now he is the proud owner of my two Vision Spinner II-Protank Mini II setups, and all of the 12mg juice I had left over. When I left, he was vaping away like a champ. I about had a breakdown at 'I think I could quit with these'...because I did...and I think he can too. I've been trying for a month to get him to accept vaping, much less take it upon himself to try and quit with it.
Tomorrow I'm rebuilding the 20-ish Protank heads I have lying around so he won't have to worry about those. It was a weird thing, showing him how to work the Ego-style batteries, how to charge them, how to fill a tank, explaining burnt hits and wicks and coils. He picked it all up really well, though.
I am so happy right now, my macho man exterior is starting to fade. Almost.

I have that same (sort of) experience happening as we speak. My Dad, 64 as well (must be the age) said he will always smoke till the good Lord says it's his time. My parents always travel for work and spend a lot of time in hotels. He smokes about 3 packs a day and when I showed him the e-smoke and said to get Unflavored as it had no smell, he could vape inside without them knowing. Needless to say he did just that and now, a pack lasts him 3-4 days. I told him to smoke whenever he wants to (analogs), but now he says they are tasting like crap. So this summer, when they come back here as they are snowbirds, I will be giving him my older 2-Vision II spinners (gotta have backups) and a new Kangertech Areotank as a Vaping present.
