Hi. Both my girlfriend and I smoked about a pack a day until we found out she was pregnant. Then she stopped, and after a few weeks I transformed into an evod 1 starter kit vaper. But she suddenly began to really dislike the vape. First the dangers (which I've spent hours explaining and now she understands finally), then the smell (okay, the juices I had at that time STANK. Later I began DIY and mostly vaped unflavored. Still she said there was an odour on me after I vaped. Which was a lie. She even said "ew your vape stink" when she thought I was out vaping. Hadn't vaped since the evening before, so that's just something she said), then she got irritated and a little ...... off every time I mentioned vaping, refilled tanks or went to another room for a 2 min quick vape. She tried it a couple times and said it made her nauseous (not the nic as she took 2-3 small non-lung hits every time)

But after she made birth, she has picked up smoking again. I convinced her to give vaping a solid try and not give up after a few days. So I have ordered an evod 2 starter kit with color of her choice, and some flavors of her choice. As kind as I am, I'm going to mix her juices (this sounds so wrong to every non vapers), change coil, take care of the vape etc to make it easy for her in the beginning so she doesn't quit tryign after a couple of days because it's "to much of a hassle".

Any tips to raise the success rate of project Vaping Girlfriend?

just be patient... and BTW pregnancy does weird things to girls... all sorts of hormone swings and temper changes... nice one moment and then will become a tasmainian devil looking for blood

Quoted for truth. Also, when a smoker stops smoking, some of us smell phantom smells. I could have sworn that someone had smoked a cig or had one burning but there were no smokers in my house.

Hormones drive, even those of us going through those changes, us nuts.

I always tell my wife what to do, and she obediently does it.
After all I am the boss.
I just tell her while she is sleeping.

I'm calling your wife.....

Make sure the device she's using to vape with suits her;
make sure she enjoys the flavors she's vaping (she may not vape that flavor all the time, so make sure she's got a nice selection to choose from;
and make sure the nic level is right for her....
Good luck! :thumb:
We ordered four flavour so she has a little to choose from. Peach, lime, pina colada and green apple. And she has used the previous version of the evod before she hated the thought of vaping. No problems then. As for nic, she wanted 9mg. If that's to little, I got 15mg and 12mg vpg. And can dillute with a pure vg pg base 0nic :)

tip: don't go for an evod :) (too late) but start with a decent kit like Istick 30W/Nautilus mini combo ;)
It's expensive. The kit is cheap and well performing. As well as it is two in one. Much more practical. You don't have to wait x hours to get a fresh vape. If we had the money for it, we'd go all out and buy everything....Twice. And never bothered with DYI probably :p

A lot of people start out with some version of a tobacco flavor and then kind of evolve into other flavors. Tobacco flavors seem to give more of an illusion of smoking and can be more satisfying as a substitute. Sometimes you crave tobacco, not a green apple, you know what I mean?

Good luck to you and her, it's worth the effort.

if youre looking to get more vapor down the road grab a subtank mini and slap it on there. i quit cold turkey with it, but i moved up to a smok tfv4. Im a bit of a cloud chaser
Are you drunk again Lahey!?

I'm more of a tootle puffer. I am satisfied with the amount I usually get. Will pick up new tanks and products along the road as we walk further.

Thank you :)

I've been vaping a 100% since february. I didn'y enjoy the tobacco juices i tried at least. I just bought all kinds of juices back then though. Now I mostly vape unflavoured and pick up a flavor every once in a while :)

My girlfriend could tell when I've changed flavor just by the smell! Gave her my backup though because I was sick of being told off for buying things. She's one of the eGo pens forever style vapers who reminds me constantly that my reliable iStick 20w and delicious Nautilus Mini arr a waste of cash lol

I've been down this road and failed. She just wouldn't switch.
Hope your results are different. Good luck to the pair you.
Thank you :) I really hope she switch. I'm gonna help her do that. She promised to give it a solid try. And cigarettes is getting so expensive here anyway. One pack is more than my average juice expense for a month.

Women only understand force, so you have to play the bad boy with her (it's the eternal irony of women, they say they want us to be nice yet are always attracted to the douches who aren't nice). When I started vaping, I told my wife she should switch to vaping. She said "No, I'll keep smoking." So I installed a trip wire on the stairs that night and in the morning, she fell down them. It was good fall to because our stairs have two bends in them and she bounce off the corners like a pinball! I said "See, told ya you should vape. Now look what happened." So she got up all crying, went into the kitchen and spit in my eggs while she mixed in cig ashes into them. They tasted like crapola. After breakfast I said "You gonna take up vaping and quit smoking?" She said "No" so I cut the brake lines on her car. She ended up going down the hill we live on uncontrollably right into the hog farm pond at the bottom of the hill. She stumbled home covered in mud and pig poop and I said "Gonna try vaping now?" She said "No" and made me a Chocolate cream pie made out of Exlax. It took me about 6 days to stop having uncontrollable ........ but when I did, I slept with her sister. She walked in and was all crying and blubbering "How could you? You are a jerk!" I said, "I didn't want to do it baby, but I just want what's best for you so I had to go bad boy on you. Now will you take up vaping" She finally acquiesced and now enjoys vaping.

My wife likes vaping but won't quit cigarettes, you gotta want to quit to quit.
