Any tips on converting a spouse?

[Jay-dub]

We started with Green Smoke and she only stuck with it for maybe six months; though I highly doubt she didn't smoke at all or she would have started having some of the same benefits that I was enjoying. Suspicions aside it was obvious that Green Smoke wasn't cutting it. GS eventually got old to me too but I did the typical cig-a-like to PV transition. Anyway, I got her a Halo Triton battery because it was pretty and I thought it would motivate her to keep it with her and use it. But since Halo is so proprietary I got an adapter and threw a Protank II on it which made it look kind of ugly since the adapter is this skinny little neck from the battery to the tank. I'm hoping it would help to find an adapter that connects the battery to the tank seamlessly but haven't had any luck. Does anyone else have any experience with converting an apprehensive person? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Honestly - I think I just got lucky and caught her in an agreeable mood.

I went the same route as you and bought her a cute pink evod setup. She seems to be enjoying it so far.

You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink.

Honestly, the best tactic might be to just let her continue to see you enjoy your vaping. If you are saving money that can be used to buy some stuff for the house that might help too. She will probably come around on her own. Teaching by example and common sense usually wins out in the long run.

 

[wheezal]

well, make sure she's drunk, and the third party is relatively anonymous...


oh..you mean convert to vaping....

 

[Mark Anthony]

I wish I had an easy answer for you but I don't.... Hopefully she'll see how much better you feel and enjoy life smoke free and hop on the bandwagon.

 

[WillyZee]

maybe take her to a vape meet

... peer pressure probably got her smoking in the first place

 

[cags]

you have to let her decide if/when she will start vaping. nagging will probably only make her dig her heels in (it does me!)
as others have said, just enjoy your vaping and hopefully at some point she will decide to do it. you could suggest she vape when she can't smoke.
I'd leave her alone

As far as getting her into it

Its tough you cant force her if you push to hard you can push her away
I know my wife is still on ciggalikes I know at least she is doing that but I'm just saying I understand the resistance
Because she doesn't even really like that that much and she still has bad urges to smoke

I haven had the desire to smoke in 6 months

she at one time would be so angry at me using Mod and tank she would call it angrily from her gut "that hookah thing"

the point is some people think its weird and cant get into it and if you force it gets worse
She wont entertain any of the girly set ups I've shown her
She just has no interest

But recently she started messing around with an old ego I've had laying around But the moment
I took notice and encouraged she would back away from it


but at least she wants to be smoke free thus she has done at least what she has done

If some one does not want to be smoke free from within they cant get into it

Just forbid her from touching it or using it.

Oh, sorry, you said your spouse. The above only seems to work on teens...

 

[devauto]

Sorry, no help here. I still get ridiculed by mine for sucking on a ... erm ... vibrator!

Thank you so much! I didn't want ot spend the next couple of weeks doing trial and error over the mail.

Well, I kind of geeked it up and bought a lot of vape gear to try and experiment with. I settled with an iTast 134 and the behemoth cracks her up. She knows I've been learning a lot and that I'm not the person to look at as an example of how to save money through vaping.

 

[CommaHolly]

all you can do is keep vaping, let her see how awesome it is,,,,,,,,,,let her see you enjoying one in bed,,,,,or in front of the TV, etc,,,,,

and answer any questions she has,,,,,,,

every now and again you could offer her a puff of a great flavor and see if she likes it,,,,,,,,

 

[FringeChief68]

Buy her a Pink ProVari Mini with a green LED with extension cap, plus two 18350 AW and two 18490 AW batteries, throw in a Z-Atty-Pro - Rebuildable Tank and a nitecore intellicharger i4

Then tell her how much you just spent on her and now she will have no choice but to put all that money to good use

Or she beats you half to death for spending that much money, gets arrested and put in a Smoke Free county jail! Win Win Either way!!

 

[CommaHolly]

buy her something besides the pink Provari,,,,,,

because when she beats you into submission with it and gets sent to Statesville,,,,,,,,you won't want it to go to waste,,,,,

Maybe when the hoopla dies down from all the money I spent finding my vape sweet-spot she'll be more willing to delve into finding hers. The more things change the more they stay the same I guess... I mean, men always tend to find their spot first. LOL!

Itaste vv3(the female authority figure in my life loves hers..always having me play the puff counter game for special prizes. I haven't won once, yet..), jwraps, tanks like IBtanked rio carnival. .pretty, and different liquids. As soon as I tried liquids I fully enjoyed..there was no turning back. I just tried a friend's cigarette the other day, just because it's been almost a year. I was grossed out.

im in the same boat when were at home she vapes most of the time and likes it. the main thing is find a juice she loves. My GF loves bobas but she doesnt like it all day long so were trying to find another juice she loves. But when shes at work or with her friends she smokes. When you have a habit you have to want to change for the good no one can talk you into it. So just dont push it and maybe they will slowly follow.

Take the Gene Roddenberry approach... time and space


soooo cheezy, i know.

 

[BigCatDaddy]

When you figure it out, let me know. At least mine has quit rolling her eyes at me every time I get my vape on. I know she is seeing the improvement in my breathing and has even mentioned that I have pretty much quit coughing and hacking. Maybe one day she'll want that for herself.

I just got an idea from another thread! There's an area of town we walk around and people always ask to bum cigarettes. We should walk there more often. I can easily say "I don't smoke". She'll be too nice to lie and end up bumming out cigs. Oh, sucks to be a smoker huh? LOL!
