I'm almost at that point with my husband. Of all the people I've turned, he has been the most difficult pain in the you know what. This includes my 60 something mother in law who is going blind and needs me to fill her clearo and perform all maintenance. My husband never really wanted to quit smoking. He did it because I did it, and because it's $12 to $14 per pack here in NYC. We've been priced out of smoking, which is fine by me because I thoroughly enjoy vaping. I love to tinker with things, I love all the different flavors to try, and so far I love the Internet community and real life fellow vapers I've met so far. My husband however, hates to tinker with things, is a bit anti technology, and just loves the taste and smell of cigarettes. He always will. That's okay. I never told him he HAD to do this. I don't get angry if he has a cigarette. All I did was buy him a starter kit along with others I bought for other people. At the price kits were, I was able to just buy them for a bunch of smokers I knew with all the money I've saved from not smoking cigarettes. $15 is a no brainer when packs are $14 each.
Regardless of his anti tinkering, anti tech, views, he found vaping to be simple enough to quit smoking for the most part. He still has a cigarette now and then, after the kids go to bed but I have no issue with that. We've always smoked in the garage, and he still does. I never say a word about it. Once it was apparent that I could quit smoking entirely and he could quit for the most part, I decided to buy us some nicer gear. Something that'll last us longer. I bought myself an iTaste VV v3 and a Mini Protank II. Offered the same setup for him, but he refused. He couldn't understand why I would buy something more expensive then that original, $15 set up. A set up he didn't particularly enjoy, as it appears it doesn't give him a hard enough throat hit and he inhales too hard for the cheap, bottom coil clearo that it came with. It constantly gurgles and floods on him. Instead of trying to fix it, he then waits for me to get home from work and whines that he has been without nicotine all day. Regardless of these issues, he made me buy him the same starter kit as back up, rather then what I got myself. My guess is that he figured he wouldn't be vaping for long.
Fast forward a couple of weeks, and I've left my mini Protank home a few times. He starts to use it. Next thing I know, he refuses to use anything but the mini Protank. So, I buy myself another. At least this way there isn't whining. He has never had an issue with it thankfully. We have been able to vape it to the last drop and there's no gurgling. Then, I start noticing that the iTaste has no charge in mornings, after I KNOW I plugged it in to charge over night. Come to find out he's been vaping with it exclusively in the night while I'm sleeping because it gives him better throat hit. He's also discovered there's no need to adjust the volts on it once it's on wattage. It gives him the same kind of hit no matter what clearo he's got on it. I CAN'T GET I BACK NOW! The man who refused to let me try to make vaping better for him is now stealing all my gear. Gah! I get shiny new things in the mail, and it becomes his. Thank goodness for this board and all you wonderful people though. With it being so close to Christmas, it's harder to buy replacements for all the gear he claims. Because all of you post where to find the best prices for the best stuff, I've got an MVP2 coming to replace my iTaste VV v3 for cheaper then I bought the iTaste. Also, because do all of you, we haven't had to go through every single clearo on the market to find something that works for both my husband and I. We've got the mini Protanks and we couldn't be happier. Thanks all!
