When I started, I asked my fiance to try it instead of smoking. I told her I wanted to be with her for as long as I could, and it would mean a lot if she gave it a real try. She did.

I don't want to scare you but fiancée's (sp?) and wives are often two different animals LOL

I would stage an intervention with all of your closest family/friends who vape. Sit down with her and "have the talk". Recommend that she call a suicide hotline as she's clearly killing herself by smoking cigarettes.

Seriously though, telling them that you want them around to spend as much time with as possible is probably the most heartfelt thing you could say there, so good work danca90! And then there are the other thousands of reasons to make the switch. With e-cigs it can also be whatever flavor you want :)

My wife and I started with Smokeless Image Volt cig-sized...similar to the Halo G6 batteries. Frankly, I've been married 38 years because I don't tell her to do anything. "Yes dear"...is my normal utterance.

That being said, she was so impressed that I quit, being a 40 year heavy smoker, that she jumped right in with both feet. The smaller batts in colors and gem style endcaps helped keep her interested...accessorizing is the correct term, I believe.

My wife and I have moved on to larger batteries and tanks, but I'm not sure my wife would have liked these in the beginning. Perhaps your spouse would be more comfortable with smaller batts and smaller tanks, like the Smokeless Image or Halo batteries with the mini T4 style tanks.

I NEVER thought I would ever use the mechs, Provari or larger mods. I started out with cig a likes and moved up to ego minis. Color coordinated of course.
I still use almost everything in 18350 mode but I love my MODs and pretty tanks now. Peruse the bedazzle site when she's around. :)
I'd probably buy a couple of egos, a mini and a 650, in pretty colors and get matching evods or protank minis and just keep them around. Go ahead and rebuild them so she will get good flavor and vapor. Take them with you when you are going somewhere she can't smoke. You may end up a hero.

Don't push, don't force, and absolutely no ultimatums.

Just enjoy your setup and show that you don't need the cigs. S/he'll continue to smoke, knowing you used to join him/her, but now you're happily not. Jealousy will overcome resentment, and s/he will demand to... "toot"... ;-) your rig. Eventually s/he will straight hi-jack your set-up, and then you have to buy a whole new one.

A week later you're in a B&M or on a vape site arguing over juices and upgrades.
