Flaky new vapers need some inspiration

[Brewmaster B]

Plan a trip to the juice bar. Invite them to come along. But don't pressure them. If you can get the one who's doing great to come, then maybe the others will want to come to so they don't feel left out? But I can't stress this enough, don't be a nag about it! It has to be their decision or it will never stick.

They've been invited a couple times, but in general they don't have the desire. I will invite once more, but that will be it. And yeah ziggy, I really don't want to be a nag. I wish it didn't bug me like it does.. There's something in my personality I must understand better or it has a danger of pushing people away I'm thinking. Maybe I'm being selfish thinking I can "help" these people find something better for them. that's why I wanted the perspective of others vapers like you guys at ECF. I really appreciate your responses, I know you guys understand this is heartfelt. I'm not going to put myself in this position anymore with people I love.

Beat me to it. Wow, how frustrating that must be. I would certainly level with them & give your concerns for their health & the gifting.
Maybe you can get the successful one to help out a bit. Perhaps offer up a couple good vendors & definitely do the juice bar thing.
Beyond that I don't have any idea how to express your concern. It's too bad they are all set up & some minmal effort on their end doesn't seem like much to ask considering what you & others have done for them.
Are they just being lazy or what.... what a waste.

Good luck & I hope they snap out of it, they really are missing out on a whole lot more than just vaping.
Have they all completely given up? & if so I would definitely ask for their fine equipment to go to someone that can & will use it
Maybe that would be enough of an eye opener to perhaps get them to reconsider their status. & the Provari thing kills me.
A direct slap to the gift horse's mouth.

Best of luck! I know how you feel. I was really hoping my parents would be interested when I told them I was vaping instead of smoking, but they didn't seem the least bit curious about it. I even had a clearo loaded up with "marlboro light" (their brand) when I was down for Memorial Day weekend - just in case. I'd love for them to make the switch too, and I think they'd love it if they tried it, but for now I'll just set an example and hope they get curious.

That really stinks. I've only been vaping a week and have already broke even. My kids are a lot happier and I feel better. The biggest thing is having the desire to make the switch. If the time comes when your friends truly want to quit analogs at least they'll have the equipment needed to do so.

Quitting smoking is just something that one has to really want to do.
It sounds like they don't want to spend the startup cost of vaping, which can be a lot, so they rely off of others to "gift" them things. At least now they know that there are other options out there than smoking so when they are ready they can drop the startup 150$+ or so and get right back into it...in the meantime...if she doesn't want her provari...ya know....ill take it haha, just kidding.

Went thru this as well, bought kits, mixed ejuice and shared ejuice. One still smokes and the other quit as soon as she vaped. You just never know who is ready or who isn't, at least you tried! bnrk
