I've tried to convert several smokers. I let them hit my KGO and explained it to them in detail but none of them converted. They are dedicate to an expensive and horrible death. It's also funny to note that each one of them that hit the KGO coughed like first time smokers much to my lulz. It's not an easy thing to do. On ECF I have converted like a dozen people and steered them towards the SLB KGO starter kit on DarkCityVapor with my outspoken posts and my in-depth blog. We are all friends now too and correspond regularly.
If you don't want to read my blog but are wondering WHY KGO? The answer is this: It's the cheapest, most powerful (4.1 volts! compared to the 3.7v of an EGO - it can even outperform the popular IMR 18650 battery used in much more expensive PVs and
mods) and most versatile (510 connector), and at 1100mah (and you get 2 of them) it lasts me 2-3 days before recharging even one of them. It's the best starter PV on the market at that price range; it's perfect for any beginner no matter how much you used to smoke. Even later on when they move up to a silver bullet, provari, lavatube, or 5v vv box
mod it's still a handy thing to have around, or it makes a great hand-me-down. I quit the second I got mine. I love it.
