My wife has NEVER been a smoker, but always jealous of my vaping for some reason (she says it smells good??psh??) Anyways i got her a little pink ego 650, a pink evod, and some 0 nic juice. She never asks or complains now! Also she very rarely uses it, so it seems to be no big deal to me

My hubby never smoked either and he keeps commenting that he always wanted to take up a pipe and my eliquids smell so good. I just say there are ePipes. His call. SO far he has chosen not but he knows he can if he wants to.

Of course I don't now, it's a science. But in the beginning you will, even with a mentor you think ''I have enough" no need to get outta bed and charge that battery. Or when running late to work, you forget that 10ml bottle. we've all been there.

You said you did. So you're playing "what if" and treating "what if" as a fact. I'm well versed with anxiety issues and know the "what if" game is one that can never be won because there's always another "what if" around the corner.

I haven't ever been there.
Not even when it was RN4072s and a SuperBowl party. I always knew to carry way more than I need, backups to backups.

Use the "what if" issue to her advantage. Make sure she knows to always carry spares. Make sure she knows that if worst comes to worst right next to that pack of cigarettes is probably a disposable ecig. I actually have a lot less "what if" fears this time around because I know disposables are just about everywhere cigarettes are sold.


This.

That's exactly what it is. I could never quit, I had to vape. She cold turkeyd the .... out of cigs, I couldn't. She is stronger than me, maybe she can vape and not smoke. If she was able to avoid cigs for 3 years she should have the strength to not smoke if she has to go a few hours without vaping because of a mishap.

Thank You

That too. But I was saying her desire to vape is actually a desire to go back to smoking. Refusing to help her get vaping right is making it more likely for her to fail and smoke instead. Her flat out telling you she is going to vape may as well be telling you it's either vape or smoke.

When I picked up cigarettes after 2 years without I was still using nicotine with pipe smoking. Too much of a hassle that day and missing something. If she goes back to cigarettes it won't be because vaping lead the way, it's because that's where she's heading and vaping will possibly keep her from going there.
If vaping does keep her from smoking I wouldn't worry about it leading to smoke. The thing with me pipe smoking was I already had ashtray mouth. I don't with vaping. I'm actually afraid to have a bowl of pipe tobacco because I know how bad the aftertaste is.

Right on, if he wants to vape 0mg i think the blowing out clouds and such is all very relaxing and soothing. I see no reason why a grown adult cannot take part in something they have an interest in, and its negative impact is minimal if even at all, why the heck not? Heck vaping 0mg is surely safer than a lot of man hobbies (riding motorcycles and ATVs, and all the other dumb stuff us men do for a kick)

All I got to say is SUPPORT HER!!!!!!!!! Let her vape, help her pick a really good mod. Let her have what she desires. Zero nic is no worse that eating a candy bar. IMHO. I sell to a lot of people that never smoked and they all want the same thing. Cure that hand to mouth addiction. Anything is better than having her go back to cigarettes. Or gain 200#. After all this is just my :2c: A lot of folks I deal with everyday have lost a lot of weight after vaping. Not everyone will do this but it's a ADULT choice. The love of my life really enjoys the smell of all the different juice I use. When she comes to the shop and walks in the juice room she just loves the smell of all the flavors. Seeing her smile is worth everything to me.

Actually if he must smoke tobacco pipes are the way to go. There's a slight increase in risk of mouth cancer because of alkaline burns (especially with the types of tobaccos non-smokers wanting to take up pipes gravitate to) but other than that the anti-smoking reports may lump it with all smoking but when looking at the actual studies pipe smokers actually lived longer than non-smokers. It's thought to be because of the laid back relaxing way pipes are smoked.
This all hinges on smoking pipes the right way and not inhaling them. Not doing like a friend who quit cigarettes for cigars to be healthier, and then I found out he inhaled the cigars making it a worse option.

I felt just as good when I was an exclusive pipe smoker as I do being an exclusive vaper. I don't think an epipe would cut it for me. I need the ancient ritual.

If she wants a PV clearly she's suddenly having cravings for some aspect of her old smoking habit. Muscle memory and conditioning doesn't simply evaporate. It remains with us for the rest of our lives.

She's an adult whose making an informed choice. Stop trying to run her life or belatedly talk about the effect it'll have on your spawn when you're already long since guilty of the same thing. Pot kettle black. Eye boogers laughing at nose boogers.

Help her out or let her go to find someone whose actually supportive and sympathetic.

latexyankee, I have the solution to your problem. Please have your girlfriend read below.

[Note]

Dear Latexyankee's Girlfriend,

I understand your boyfriends concerns with you starting vaping. Given his hypocritical stance on the subject, I suggest you start your quest for vaping gear on your own while at the same time implementing an extreme sex embargo against said hypocrite until he relents and helps you find the equipment you desire.

Stage 1 will be to announce the embargo. This should be enough to shut him up.
Stage 2 will be to start the embargo. He will fold like a house of cards within days.
Stage 3, If he fails to relent should commence with your wearing increasingly less clothing around the apartment until your only clothing comes from Fredrick's of Hollywood in increasingly trampy stages.
Stage 4, In the event of an extreme resistance, should include you inviting similarly dressed hot girlfriends over to make out in front of him until he caves like a Frenchman in the face of danger.

Not only should he help you buy your vaping gear, but if you get to stage 4 and win, he'll probably buy you a new car

Hello OP, I quit smoking years and years ago. That means I'm not addicted to nicotine. I have been vaping for many years. Never once did I think to myself after quitting "A cigarette seems like a fantastic idea right now". I disagree with the mainstream view that vaping should only be undertaken by smokers who are looking to continue to get their nicotine fix while saving their health. I started because I enjoy puffing away on wonderful flavors. Not because I needed to quit smoking, as I had already done that long ago.

Bless her sweet heart, if she is that stressed out, please, please help her. I haven't been vaping nearly as long as you have, but I have had my share of bad days. After smoking for almost 20 years never once durring a dead battery or the gross hits did I even think to buy another pack of stinky's. If she quit cold turkey it sounds like she has no intention of lighting up again. You have a great opportunity to be that SUPER RAD boyfriend and get her a cute little set up.
