Hi all,

Starting day 5 with no stinkies!

I went out Tuesday night and took my eGo with me. I was playing a dart tournament, and some friends of mine were there. I was vaping inside, while a lot of them would take smoke breaks outside (I never realized how much TIME was spent smoking, it seemed like the dart tournament went on FOREVER because we were waiting for the smokers).

A couple of things...

1) That was the first time that I REALLY noticed the smell associated with smoking. It was strong as hell and I was absolutely mortified with the realization that THAT'S WHAT I USED TO SMELL LIKE. (I can already tell that I *might* turn into one of those a**hole ex-smokers...*burning shame*)

2) I thought I would be tempted to borrow a smoke, but I wasn't. At all.

My friend Brett, who is a heavy smoker, asked if he could try vaping so I let him. He loved the taste, said it felt like he was smoking a real cigarette. Fast forward to this morning. He sent me a text asking if I could go with him to our local vaping store (.... Out, Phoenix AZ, big shout out) today. We're going at 11am.

I'm really hoping he likes it as much as I do, and that it will help him get off the stinkies.

First off, congrats to YOU for making the switch!!
Secondly, good job on converting your buddy. From your post, it seemed like you didn't push him at all and just let him make his own decisions after you showed him there are better options. Kudos to you for that!
Hopefully he can find something he falls in love with at the shop :)
