I quit smoking a month and a half ago with one of the 7-11 type E-cigarettes . I had been smoking for 18 years without any breaks longer than a week or two without a cigarette from patches or gum . 3 weeks ago I bought an Ego-C and right after letting a couple friends try it out two have already bought their own Ego-C's and quit with me . I have a couple other friends ready to purchase kits themselves . I was wondering if this is normal for most people .. It feels like switching over to a vp is like wildfire around friends and family who still smoke .
How many have you converted ?

Well I am new to vaping but personally I have found resistance from friends who smoke to even consider the idea. I don't blame them, when you are not familiar with e-cigs it's very hard to believe that they could actually be at all comparable to smoking - I know I didn't believe it. I didn't really understand how they worked and thought it would just be similar to nicotine replacement gums etc, (which I disliked and which didn't make me want to smoke any less). My next conversion tactic will be making friends try my e-cig. That is what worked for me, that someone let me try their's.
I have been vaping for a little over two weeks. In that time I have converted 7 going on 8 people over. Next is my mom and her bf
. I just wait for smokers to ask me about it ( I have to vape in the smoking section at work) once they ask I tell them about it and offer to let them try it. I have several drip tips so that I don't have to worry about strangers germs lol.

It spreads like wildfire, my wife and I started vaping and have converted about 9 people, not to mention those 9 have bought pv kits to give as gifts to those that they want to covert. Who knows maybe soon we will see the president vaping, he is an ex-smoker.

I keep trying - got one friend semi-successfully sorted. Just need to work on my mother - she's 75 and smokes 40 a day. Too old to change possibly. She even had a loan of my Orion v2 before I swapped it and was not keen.
There's huge interest among the smokers at work. Several have bought kits, too early yet to see if they have converted completely.... But definitely strong interest.
I'm thinking of posting an information sheet at work, cause I'm kinda tired of constantly answering the same questions. Lol!

Seven....both my sisters, 2 friends and 3 people in my poker league. My brother in law converted me 3 weeks ago.

I would imagine the pres would be a stealth vaper......
I converted two, but now it all of the sudden seems more difficult as everyone "knows" e-cigarettes are bad for you. In fact, someone just told me they strongly consider going back to cigarettes because "there's too much out there" about how dangerous e-cigs are. Me <-- furious
My mom's interested, but I'm still searching for a kit which is going to be simple enough for her. This sounds silly, as these are pretty easy once you get the hang of it, but my mom is probably the worst person with technology ever. She doesn't even get the hang of her cellphone.
A few friends of mine are also interested and are in the stages of shopping. And oddly, I have a few friends who are on very restrictive diets who are considering PVs as a way to taste the carb-laden sweets that they so desperately miss, in a zero-nicotine format. (This may be caused by me vaping cheesecake. Oops.)

Glad my mother quit smoking when I was a teen .. You think your mother is bad with technology my mother still doesn't understand what the address bar on a browser is . I catch her typing in hotmail.com , youtube.com in the google search engine instead of the adress bar . I can only imagine trying to teach her how to use a VP would be .
1 1/2 months in, converted 3 and started the 4th yesterday.
It is an "emotionally" fulfilling endeavor, considering the health benefits. But also, it's a great way to pass along my many newbie purchases so that they're not wasted $$$.

I only got 1 person, my aunt, to switch. I've told, shown, let try a BUNCH of people but I think most people, even though e-smoking is WAY better, are just stuck in their ways and won't ever change.
Since I started a little over a month ago...I have gotten 4 ppl to switch hopfully more will follow
