extremely RANDOM, sorta weird, how to convert & how I feel about my Reos thread

[bmwjen]

Just wanna say I'm sorry in advance, because this thread is extremely random, not well thought out, & touches on a few different topics.

Sometimes when get on ECF, all I wanna do is read the Reo forum. I wanna read each thread over and over. Through these threads it's almost like I can get to know each & every one of you through your thread comments, (but secretly pray that you don't think that you know me by just my thread comments).

Then there is my Woodvile. It's sorta different than my Grand, or Mini. It tactically FEELS different, vapes different, and even makes me "feel different when i'm vaping from it. The Woodvile is so super smooth that I don't think I could even try a 306 on it. It would kill my super soft smooth vape. I'm not exactly positive, but I think it feeds different. (I rarely have to squeeze the bottle, it's like it feeds itself). vaping from the Woodvile rather than the Grand is what I would compare wearing a necklace I bought from Tiffany & Co. to wearing something I bought from Zales. (Both extremely high quality, but just "different")

My Grand is like "Big Daddy". Huge in my hand, huge plumes of vape, even a huge battery to go with it. I find it extremely masculine. Now this I will not hesitate to place a 306 on and assume that "I rule the world". hahaha

My black on black mini aka "femme fatale" was my first Reo, and the only Reo that I purchased from Rob exclusively. Even though i'm a "PINK" girl, & not black, it's still my baby. It makes the trip to the ER with me every shift. It even makes it on my flights with me along with all of my other gear. It's small feminine, and perfect in every way. At home if i'm feeling "badgirlish" on goes the 306 and "it's on!!"

Then there is my husband's boss that "wants" to convert. He sees my husband making tanks while things are slow at work & got interested. The boss however wants to start vaping with "whatever your wife first used when she stopped smoking & started vaping"......................My husband doesn't smoke, has never even hit a cigarette, has no clue about the hold nicotine can get on you, but has tried to explain my journey since February with a Joye 510 to my Reos. So, now i've got a guy that thinks that a 510 set up is gonna solve all of his problems. Meanwhile my husband also attempts to explain that i've got one of those "20 510 battery chargers" beside my night stand, because a 510 will last me like 10 minutes tops. (I use the 510 to drip a new flavor that I get in the mail to see if I like the vape).......................How can I explain to my husband's boss that the money that he will invest in a 510 set up, the extras, etc, he will be sad that he spent? Honestly, a Reo is less than the price of 3 cartons of smokes. The boss is a chain smoker, (mechanic & can smoke in the shop).......a 510 is NOT gonna cut it. How can I talk a wannabe into a Reonaut? Do I have my husband make him a cheap bottom feed mod? flashlight/tank mod? let him start with a 510?

I feel guilty, selfish & like a hoarder for not letting my husband take the Grand to work & allowing his boss to "try" it. I don't want my Reos at a mechanic shop though..........like I said I compare them to high quality jewelry. I did manage to make a trade today for like 5 different tobacco flavor juices for my lovely hypnotic mist. So, whatever I do to try to convert this guy I'll be able to show him that "juice flavors are totally unlimited". Life is more than Camel, Marlboro, or Pall Mall. When I give the boss the tobacco juices......i'm gonna throw in some "snickerz" to REALLY show him how good the world of vaping can be.

If you've taken the time to read this far and not fall asleep.....Thanks

How about lending him your 510 set up? Explain what it does and it's shortcomings, but let him try it to see if vaping is satisfying for him as an alternative to cigarettes. Once he's used it for a week or so, take your Grand to the shop (with a spare carto or drip tip) and let him try a few vapes. At that point, he should be able to appreciate the REO, and understand the value.

Think of it as saving a life.

I've considered lending my 510 set up.......ALL of my 510 batteries have a crystal clear jewel instead of the ugly grey thing at the light up tip. Not sure he'd be cool vaping a blinged out 510.

I told my husband last night as we conversed on the topic of his boss. "Getting someone to stop smoking is REALLY saving a life".

I've got to add that my mini also goes in the tanning bed with me, and also to the gym. YES, I vape at the gym & am not ashamed to admit it.

Is it at all realistic for you to meet "the boss" face to face where you might explain the basics of vaping and the huge differences between a Yugo and a Mercedes in the vaping repertoire? Its kind of hard to pass this info on through a 2nd party--especially one who has never known tobacco dependency.

I've sorta figured out that..........talking to & vaping with the boss face to face is what i'm gonna have to do. I just need to make some time for it.

LOL, if it hits anything like a cig (and, despite the limitations, the 510's are pretty decent) I bet he doesn't care about the bling on the tip

My Mini goes everywhere with me too...my trainer has just gotten used to it.

I usually talk someone into starting the journey with a Riva 510, it's a great place to get started at. It usually seals the deal when I show them a web page where they are selling a Joye 510 for $40+, then show or tell him/her about the Riva @$29 and tell them that the Riva will last for 8-12 hours each battery, and that the Joye 510 will only last 1 hour and then you have to charge them for 2 hours. Just the price difference is usually the selling point. I think that getting started, trying it out that $30 is a good price point to start out at, plus then they aren't going to have to do what most of us did, and start with the Joye 510, then I went to a Joye 510mega, then got a T-Rex, then got a Joye Ego Tank, then my bottom feeder, next my REO Grand. They will do the two stepp! And will appreciate the bottom feeder more then just starting out with one. Ayway that's what I usually suggest I tell folks to go to liberty flights, click on the 20% off button then order the Riva 510 Lite bundle $29.99, then get at least 30ml of dome tobacco juice, well good luck, and I might have a second hand bottom feeder for sale in a few weeks too, I'll let younknow if I do sell my old bottom feeder when I get my grand if you are interested.

Thanks P, my husband can make those plastic bottom feeders all day & night. hahaha. The purple one in my albums was made by him. He's got the parts here to make about 10 more. He is registered on ECF as an offline supplier & actually closed his thread on the forums for selling them because there was just no interest. Old Goat has got the market on those. However I get about 10 PMs a day about the "tank" mod he made for me while my Reo Mini back with Rob being repaired. lmfao

I just ordered the disposable thing on litecigusa for him & a few others that I know who are interested in trying.

**note to ECF, I am not promoting my husband, I did not mention his username, he is no longer even selling the bottom feeder mods on ECF**

I LOVE this!!!!
