How many of your friends still use a tiny battery? (the gas station stuff...blu, fin, v2 cigs, 21st century smoke, logic, etc.)

It's always a constant struggle explaining to people what a difference the bigger batteries make...just wondering if most of your friends listen when you tell them to go BIG or do they still use the wimpy batteries from the gas station? Are you successful at converting most of them over or do most of them just refuse to go BIG as they keep puffing those baby batts?

I carry a 400mAh Vision Twist a lot.

I like the Size because it is Light and fits in a Shirt Pocket. It also is VVPV. Because once I started using a VVPV, it would be Very Hard to go back to a Fixed Voltage PV.

I'm not Really into Converting people. I figure if they want to use a ________ and they like it, Great.

A LOT. Amazing and suddenly, almost all of my "smoking buddies" at work are now vaping. (3 switched just last week) There's only two of use that aren't using cig-alikes. I keep telling them, if the the cig-alikes aren't working to upgrade before they give up, but they are insistant on buying the cigalikes first.

Whatever, most of us had to start there. At least they're vaping.

I still have 2 friends that use them. It's mainly because they don't like having to do anything but screw on the carto I guess. 1 has been using them for over a year & she's never wanted to use anything else. The other I gave 2 egos a while back & he destroyed them. They aren't smoking so I let them be.

At the moment none, but I was talking to a few friends and they said they had previously tried cigalikes, but weren't satisfied with them. I use my PV around them quite a lot though, so I know they will ask me if they're interested in taking the leap. I know they aren't going to quit analogs yet and that's fine too, I just like sharing the fun (sometimes...) of vaping. :)

A year ago, I started with the Volt auto 78s and gradually moved up to twists, spinners, now an Evic, vamo and gripper. Every now and then, I like to go back to the penstyles for ease of use while driving, running errands and walking my dog. There is something very satisfying about using them. I've recently paired them with the T4 mini clearo... the perfect combination.

Better for you may not be better for everyone. :)

Disposables are great because they give the smokers a chance to at least TRY ecigs.

Also, you're talking to somebody who has owned a lot of big battery mods.......and I've returned to "low tech" vaping (14500 batts and/or egos that aren't even VV).

I don't try to convert anyone to my way, but I am always happy to explain the options, IF they are interested.

Don't kid yourself, there are plenty of people who can afford to buy whatever ecig they want......and choose to stay small. :)

I'm don't care what people use, big or small, as long as they aren't smoking cigarettes. :)


Truth? People will keep finding excuses til they are ready. I just set up somebody with a spinner and evod......and they went back to smoking cigarettes.

Some people need the cig-a-likes. I did when I first started. It was part of my letting go of my 33yr long addiction to cigarettes. LoL it didn't take me long to move on though.

Same thing here. I needed that at first so it felt like I was having a real cig. I also moved on pretty quickly, but those were what worked at first. I don't know if having a giant mod would have, and now I'll never know.

As far as knowing someone who still uses them. I don't.

What's wrong with my eroll? :)

I have bigger batteries. I prefer the size and form factor of the little guys.
