As i've upgraded my vape arsenal a couple of my friends that also are coworkers had just started to get into vaping. I had just got the new evod 2100mah batteries the ones that have the small screen at the bottom . So steve had been buying the overpriced under powered blue tobacco the ones that taste like coffee kind of. Anyway so i sold them to steve for $5 bucks an let him use a emow mega tank till he bought own an box of those crappy coils.
It's really cool to see your friends stop smoking an take up vaping not mention talking about vape stuff with someone who actually vapes. People who don't vape really don't care about your mod , tanks, rda or coil builds.
Have any of you had the same or simliar experience ?

I just sent one of my quit smoking kits home with a co-worker this weekend.

Provari, 3 batteries, charger and 2 freshly loaded IBTanks with a couple of my ADVs made @ 18mg.

told him, just press the button and vape when the urge for a smoke happens.

I upgraded last year, and in January I gave all my old ego and evod stuff to my step-son and his wife. They have now been smoke-free since January. I am very happy I was able to get them off the cigarettes. Of course like ,most vapers, they have been slowly upgrading to better equipment, but it was my old starter stuff that gave them the push. Its a great feeling :)

It started with my wife then my mom (who was a 3 pad smoker for 45 years) to a couple of co-workers. I had about 8-10 ego battery kits at the ready for anyone who i can get interested in switching. I got them at a great price so i keep them for such occasions. It includes 1 ego battery, ego charger, pt3 and box of 5 coils then i have some tobacco flavors in 18mg i bottle for them to try.

I have so much stuff, it's been a roller coaster giving it away. I've had some people who, after I helped them, completely converted and some who went back to cigs. It's not my fault they couldn't make the switch. If someone is not really ready to quit, nothing you do will help them.

I gave away a mini tank, and older battery that I replaced with a bigger one that still worked fine, and a small bottle of 18mg juice to a coworker who is a 2-3 PAD cloud chamber, and trying to quit. He said it took him about a week to quit smoking cancer sticks completely. Now he has a couple of ismoka tanks, two or three big spinner II batteries and lots of liquids. He says there's no way he's going to be in a position without being able to vape because some piece of equipment died. He gave the old setup to his wife, and now she's quitting smoking using it. ha ha makes a guy feel good to help people get away from the cancer sticks.:)

Every three or four months I go through my juice cabinet and round up samples and such, drive them down to a local mental health social club where members smoke at higher than typical levels. The manager is always happy to accept the donation, even open bottles, and tells me that a couple of clients have successfully made the switch.

I have given beginner kits to co workers, cousins and other family members! I now have 3 coworkers, two cousins and one other family members that have quit smoking! I'm still working on my son and DIL but I know they will come around!
Keep passing it forward folks! It pays to PIF!

Yes.. but I have also had non-vapers and non-smokers interested in hearing about it.
