Really, I'm a lone vapor of a sort. I turned my husband, mother in law, sister, and sister in law onto if but I'm their go to person for issues unfortunately. I guess it was bound to happen. I'm their go to person for computer issues as well despite having no formal computer related education myself. I'm computer literate. That's about it, but that's more then they are. Seriously, when one calls me with an issue the first thing I ask is if a) the computer is on and b) if the computer is plugged in. 80 % of the time, that's the issue. So sending them to ECF is kind of out of the question. I'm not sure they know what Google is, let alone navigate a forum. My husband is better, but forums aren't his thing and neither is fiddling with gadgets. He can at the least, change his own coils now even if he doesn't know how to dry burn yet. He switches them through the week as needed, and on weekends I clean and dry burn the ones he took out. He switches his mothers out when needed as well and I clean hers each week too.
My sister is a bit more Internet savvy, but she isn't 18 yet and shouldn't be buying stuff for herself. My mother allows her to vape because her friends buy her cigarettes anyway, and at this point my mother decided to go the harm reduction route. She tried everything else. Gum, patch, and even sending her out of state for the summer to stay with my other, adult, sister and her family. As soon as my sister came back home she had a pack of cigarettes. Short of locking her in her room per neatly and home schooling her, she'll find a way to smoke. She will not help my sister restock, though she did buy her her first set just to get her off cigarettes. I've been buying her replacement parts and juice and sending it to my mothers house in my name. She can lie about her age on these sites of course, but I'd rather not have her place those vendors at risk. She links me to what she wants and western unions money to the pre paid card I use for online purchases exclusively, and I place the orders for her. Not an ideal situation, but the alternative is smoking.
My mother in law is completely helpless. She's also going blind, to make matters worse. There is no way I can leave her to her own devices. Smoking is accelerating the macular degeneration as well, so my husband and I have taken responsibility to get her set up to vape, maintain her equipment, refill her tanks, and stock her liquid. She absolutely can not do this herself, and she absolutely MUST vape more and smoke less. Getting her off nicotine entirely would be ideal, but at this point, her doctors are thrilled she's cut as much as she did with vaping already and have told my husband to oversee her vaping situation and keep her vaping.
. But it would be nice wouldn't it to have someone to sit with, have a drink and a nice vape and chat.
Lone vapor here too!!!
