One friend from work got a pv. Others that really need to quit smokes have been curious about it. People usually ask me if its helping me quit smoking and they get confused when I tell them no. I already quit. I vape now.
How many people have you 'converted' from analogs to digitals?

Well, I haven't even finished converting *myself* yet. And I keep 1-2 clean "guest tips" with me in my kit, so that I can let people I meet in "smoking areas" get a vape.
But even though advanced folks use eG0's or clones or mods, I have found I get *immediate* positive feedback if I let someone try an automatic 78 MM Smokeless Image Volt with a Bloog carto with some kind of tobacco flavor.
The vaping doesn't vary because the voltage doesn't vary. The Bloog is very slightly lower resistance than the Volt cartos from what I read (and experience) -- so (3.6 * 3.6)/ 2.4 = 5.4 watts, vs same/2.6 = 4.98 watts.
I prefer manuals already after only 2 months but newbies don't want to worry about burning a carto by pushing a button at the wrong moment.
I also find that although I'm happy to vape a manual on a long freeway drive (I don't smoke in my new car!) that in traffic I really want an automatic -- it's like a cigarette that won't burn the carpet if I drop it, or stink up the car. (The car is *not* an automatic, so SOMETHING needs to be!)
So I've ordered a self-designed Volt+Bloog kit for my sister and crossing my fingers.....she has at least expressed interest.

I started vaping for myself but my wife was intrigued and has now converted also. Now my sister is curious.
Only one so far, set him up with an 801 I had for now, have a few more friends at work thinking about it, got a few 510 kits coming in to get them started
I set up a rule in my office. Vaping is approved. Last time i was always going crazy when people are missing from their workplace and the reason is " i went for 10minutes break to smoke". Since i approve that they can vape in the office.. i converted around 15 people to vaping.. Is like forcing but is good for them.. lol
Hey All.
Tried with an ex to get him to quit, and for awhile he was doing okay. Then he lost one ecig, another burnt out and he wasn't smart enough to know that he had to research what to move onto from there. So he went back to the cigs.
Mr. Boyfriend now has mostly quit. He's having some issues with his Ego-C, and an advanced model-- all the battery lives are going downhill quick. So he's looking into Provari when he can afford it.
So except for the rare cigarette when he's too twitchy about all his ecigs being dead, he's pretty much quit.
Malty Toffee smells SO much better! And I love that he can smoke in the car or house, though this means, of course, that he's perpetually vaping which is also a condition of the less than stellar ecig, but hey-- beats analogs!

So far 115 BUT I'm run a vaping prog at a shelter. Also friends/ acquaintances are VERY concerned about immediate health issues because of their age (50- 70) and the length of time they've been smoking.
Yeah TJ...
I think that " attraction rather than promotion" stuff works best. First learned about it from a friend of Bill's.
Got the spouse into vaping using that method.
Keep coming back
Bullette says woof!
I too am friends of this Bill guy. Well I used to be, I don't really go to his conferences anymore. I was lucky and got what I needed, when I needed it, and it stuck for some reason.
Hi Stern
Glad life is working out for you. Don't forget to pass it on.
Been a friend of Bill's over 27 years now. Great guy, that Bill.
Cya 'round the ECF.
Actually none ... for now, but I think a friend of mine will take the stape soon

Most are curious as mentioned. I don't typically "sell" it on them. But when I vape outdoors, it draws attention and I talk. One guy has a pair of ego setups I was gonna toss since they have outlived their "usefulness" in not being as long of a charge life. But they still hold for a shirt time. He's intrigued. It's up to him and those that try.
I tries to sell once. But I get the reaction that one typically gets when a mom smoker tries to get a smoker to kick the habit.

I'm so ready to start converting people as I'm absolutely amazed by how painless the switch was for me. I'm going to wait a month though so people understand that it's not just a fluke.
I will recommend the Firebird(Pheonix) bottom coil tanks and the eGo twists until I run out of breath. There's just no cheaper and better way to get into the game.

Wife, Aunt, Friend, and possibly a brother in law. Call it 3.5
Did not make a real push with any of them. I just relayed what happened. I never intended to fully quit, but now the analogs just don't interest me. This is after 20+ years of smoking.

Lol... Got 4 more on the hook today! I gave them the address here and told them to come check it out. They are all gonna get a PV and give it a shot.
Lets see, at work, the LT, several sgts. and a few CO's. Now they are looking at the feisability of allowing PV's into the prison I work at (Non smoking) since they DO allow chew. My smart alec'd little mouth actually stood me in good stead there. One of the LT's said, "Well if they get ahold of one of the batteries, they could use it in a Tattoo gun!!!" (This was in reference to my Reo Mini) I pointed out they should leave the 14500's laying AROUND, them little hummers would KILL a tattoo gun quicker than greased lightening. Them there con's are counting on regular AA's! Got a laugh and a maybe!!!
