How many people have you 'converted' from analogs to digitals?

Try a non tobacco flavor.

When you give a noob vaper a tobacco flavor, they expect it to taste like a cigarette.

^^^^ This for sure. My best friend is interested and dabbling in vaping and we're trying to find something she likes. She kept going to the menthol tobacco flavors until I handed her some cool watermelon. She likes that and will vape that all night with maybe 1 or 2 analogs.

2 things a newbie needs to tackle. First find a vapeable flavor. Second, trust that if they continue to vape the nic fit will go away.

I started vaping 3 weeks ago and now have my sister and mother along with 2 aunts already on the e-cig. I smoked almost 2 packs of Newport a day and they see how I have done and want the same thing. One nice thing is that we have a store that opened up 2 minutes from my house called Vaper Trails, in 3 weeks since I started their store has brought in all the new devices out there. 3 weeks ago there was very little but now it is great.

So far there has been 6 people that I converted but only 1 has stuck with it. And he was the only one that has come to me with lots of interest. The others I went to them. I guess what I getting at is the one guy was ready to quit smoking and the other 5 werent but thought it was cool. I start all of them on A KGO kit and have them sample many juices. I've always like the KGO and I have 2 kits myself for backups. My main PV is a Provari.
 
New vaper here... I vaped for about 3 months, got frustrated, went back to smoking for 6 months... but bought a new set up that I'm loving, and I'm back.

Although I'm still new, I can see where attraction rather than promotion is going to be the case. As a smoker, I was resistant if I felt someone was trying to compel me to their lifestyle. My neighbor introduced me to the ecig, and I was totally disinterested the first time. But then after seeing it a few times, I asked a few questions and decided for the cost it was worth a shot. She smoked as much as me, and if she liked ecigs... Seeing is believing.

So far 1 person I work with gave it a shot after seeing me vaping and asking about it. There have been a few interested queries from some strangers

If it happens that my dad actually takes up ecigs, I'll be amazed. He lives in IL and when he came to FL to visit, he was intrigued. He smokes ultra lights but he smokes a LOT. He's about 74. Mostly resistant to change... still hasn't learned how to use their cell phone...

At the time, I doubted he'd succeed and I was afraid to try to promote it because I believe he would have been intimidated or frustrated dealing with refilling cartos and charging batteries - and then never try again. And I didn't think he could troubleshoot if he had problems. He could buy the prefilled, but he smokes so much that I wondered how many cartos he'd go through in a day. Plus he doesn't have a computer, so I'd be ordering for him and sending them to his address. Gauging his need might be hard and he may not have patience.

Now I'm using smokeless images X2 clearos and batt, and I think MAYBE he'd be able to do it if he spent a week here and I could show him what to do if the clearo leaks... how to clean it, etc.

I know I gave more info than the question asked for, but... i dunno... my DAD? That'd be huge!
