One down, 5357384857483 million to go Miss B!




I dunno. What do y'all think? Am I overdoing it? I don't want to overwhelm anyone. But I do like to be prepared.

IDK if you're over doing it TBH. If you see their eyes glaze over, go back to the easy peasy and tell them there is more info on other options if they ever want to hear it.

Thank you SMRT! I did go purchase some of their strawberry ones, and bought a couple extras things to show my appreciation


Miss B: (TBH?) Your view on Boge seems to be a popular one. Good to know that tidbit too. I tried to stay with only Boge for the cartos and things.

I don't plan on whipping out my arsenal, that would really scare them, but I do want to have things tucked away for any situation I may run into. As I said, it may not present itself.. not the whole "ecig 101", but I already know they will *at the least* want to try them, so having the disposables will be perfect. AND I'm leaving a kit for my aunt. If she uses it, or passes it to one of any/many of the others.. fine, cant make someone quit.. but I do want to give her that option, be it today, or next month.. sooner or later I think she'll try it.

and I figure, if it's overkill, and I buy too much.. I can always PIF it

TBH = To Be Honest

 

[leannebug]

yay!! I'm SO psyched!! I just won a 510 kit from MyPVshop!! How perfect!

 

[atsirk]

Congrats Lbug, great timing!

 

[cleolove]

wow .. talk about the universe giving you a sign that you are on the right path. Congrats. I hope you can put it to good use with your auntie.

When we seek to help others, we often help ourselves.

Peace

I saw where you won! I was SOOO happy for you when I saw that! Its serendipity!!!

 

[leannebug]

It IS perfect! I didn't even mean to enter.. I was trying to enter Saturday's contest, and just missed it. I didn't realize it counted for Tuesday's round. Very nice surprise

 

[DLite]

Im with B on this one !! Most new vapers want the cigs to look like a cig after they get tierd of battery life is when they want more !! good luck to you Lbug

My brother is a truck driver who just went from an in town job to another over the road job. He suffers from anxiety attacks while out on the road but he needed the increase in income so back out he went and started smoking some (he quit 4 years ago) and snacking constantly. I suggested vaping and he came over and I admit I overwhelmed him but he left with a few cartos, a couple of 510 batteries and a simple box mod and the lowest nic juice I had in my box. He has called several times since then and he is now a happy vaper but says he uses the 510s the most. Mary_d made him some 0 nic juice so he doesn't get hooked again. But I did overwhelm him but he was easy to convert.
I tried to convert my two younger sons at Christmas but they weren't ready. The youngest showed the most interest but they lead busy lives and for them it is easier to light up. Next week is the youngest 21st birthday and he is getting a new bauway spring kit I traded for and a bottle of gummy bear juice... Maybe the bears will do it for him

Good luck charmed ..... I hope to be at 0 nic someday and I think I remember being 21 once. I am still busy but I will be thinking and praying that your son(s) see the "LED" light.

I just got off the phone with a young friend I am helping get started vaping. She is so excited - had been saving for kits for her and her husband, but she just got laid off and hubby's hours got cut so she thought she wouldn't be able to switch, with the expense of getting started. I let her know I had kits for her and hubby (my Riva & eGo), and had to get her address for rec't of some juices from here at PIF, and have saved a little aside to buy cartos, so she will soon be vaping along. I just wanted to post here to let y'all know she was practically in tears - she couldn't believe the generosity, couldn't understand why I would need her address so a person she didn't even know would mail her something. This is a young couple with a small baby, and they are good, hard-working kids who would never ask, or expect to be given anything. I wanted to hug her for an hour, and I just wanted to share with you her happiness and excitement at getting started vaping!

This is also to thank the people who made it possible to do this - I can only pass on the kits because of the mods I'm currently using, the juices from PIF, and what I've found in myself while I've been part of this community. I'm feeling so much love right now I could burst, and that's a pretty farking good feeling!

That's so awesome, its always nice to hear about those we help get off the stinkies. Thanks for sharing. I am proud to be a part of such a wonderful group too. We are changing lives, one PIF at a time. Making the world a better place!

P.s. If they need more juice or a pack of cartos, I can spare some. Just PM me.

(((((((((((((((((((krista))))))))))))))))) (((((((((squeezeya!!!)))))))))))))))) So glad to hear it!! I hope to experience some of that too, firsthand.

I tried to convert my own son too, Charmed. I tried everything I could think of, and had a lot of PIFers helping too, but I think it was just a coolness thing, and cigs are easier.. you do have to want it. (hope you are doing OK.. I think of you a lot, and you are in my prayers)

DLITE!!! LONG TIME.. well, not really that long, but you need to stop in more we miss you and Candy! Hope yall are all well! MamaBear too

Thanks for the continued tips and ideas... KEEP them coming! I know a lot of us have smokers in our lives, and some just need a little encouragement, or a little help.

I'm home. What an emotional, exhausting, heart wrenching time. It was wonderful to see family, and to have each other to lean on, but that's another story.

My vaping supplies made it all to the destination, and I was able to share with many of my beloved family members. (I'll fill in on details of what I hope will have been a successful time, and we may even get some new members... but after a little rest.)

In the meantime, my sincere thank yous to:


SmokingRT for all his fabulous support and for arranging the impossible
GotVapes for extending a sale I missed by minutes (and for the freebie!)
Sensay and Librarising for sniffing out sales
Cleolove for her wonderful insight
Biancamontgomery and Keyzgirl for the carto tips and ideas
Jeannest and Kellyinbr for all the flavored cartos
Godzilla and Kellyinbr (again!) for the sampling juices
Big Chief for all of his help and just being him
Randall of MyPVShop for the free 510 kit
Zane, Sallany, Quitting, TTG, Krista, (and many more) for their great ideas!!
Lynlee for the coolest of mods (the Chuck I ordered didn't arrive in time)
and special thanks to Paula, ♥ who insisted on picking me up at the airport.


(((hugs))) Love yall like family!

 

[lynleestar]

[BiancaMontgomery]

Glad you are home honey. Welcome back to your PIF home too. Got nothin' but love for "The Bug".

 

[librarising]

Welcome home (((Leanne)))!!!
Missed you! I'm looking forward to hearing how it went!

ps..loved the pic of you and Paula!

 

[cleolove]

Welcome home, I, too, look forward to hearing how it went when you are well rested.

 

[leannebug]

Thanks yall I love this place and all it's peeps!

Not rested yet but have to work on cleaning up the house (after leaving the kids here alone) and getting ready for my gramma to come over for a visit. We brought her back with us. She was a real trooper! With all the time changes, our travel time ended up being over 14 hours! Bless her heart, she hung on and kept on going!

Paula is just as sweet (even sweeter!!) in person!! I had travel delays going up too, and she patiently waited... gave up her Easter dinner plans... just to help me. What an angel ♥
