How many people have you converted?

[thedoc610]

I've converted quite a few. As they think electronic cigs are the ones that they sell at gas stations which are terrible...

I always get the statement" that looks like a ...." lol but i'm like no this is a real e cig, throw on a tip that I do not use cuz you never know if that person is sick and they get so impressed and I end up giving them the site addresses that I use... like gotvapes, dfwvapor, sterling vapor etc...

I was smoking my e cig on a bus to atlantic city and out of no where this old lady starts making a scene telling me I'm high as a kite, I'm smoking weed, yelling up and down... I'm like mam if you would like me to put away my e cig that produces water vapor I will. Note that this was on our way back so she seen my girlfriend and I smoking our e cigs for hours... Anyway she did not understand what an e cig was and she's like you think I was born yesterday going on and on and on getting in my face... I had my itaste with me and I showed her where it said electronic cig and she grabbed my vivi nova 2.5 tank that i just got and since the itaste has magnetic features it pulled out... It about 1 second I ripped that .... out of her hands and I yell sit down... her husband was like lady come here and sit down... I got so frustrated and the people in front of us said to the lady you have no idea what your talking about... How stupid can you be? Thats a story that you just had to be there for.... it was halrious I'm just glad I got my tank back I think I broke her fingers...haha

None yet, I've only been vaping for 2 days or so. It's so hard to explain to people that haven't tried vaping what an amazing thing it is.

I feel like some kind of religeous freak trying to recruit members !! They are all NON Believers ! ... So far any way lol

 

[Chrissie]

Ballsy, IMHO the best thing is not to push it. Just let the smokers see how well you are doing

I haven't converted any close friends or family but helped convert several people online on a none e-cig forum I use and they're all loving it.

 

[Chrissie]

Well done Mev

It's just so weird not to be craving a cigarette... I know that we are vaping in place of smoking but when I tried the e-cig yukky thingy I was still craving analogues and indeed still smoking them.

Now I just don't want one !

Converted the chap that came around to fit my satellite dish yesterday, he has been smoking for 20 years and is desperate to give it up, I told him about my experience and went home to order one.

I've converted my mother who was a pack a day, my step father who was 2+ packs a day, and a couple guys at work gave it a shot, but were too embarassed to use something other than an analog look alike and gave up. I'm still working on a good friend that I also work with. He is around 2 packs a day and takes a hit off mine when he's too lazy to go outside to smoke. Maybe I'll get him one for Christmas!

Add another to the club, just converted my eldest son from last Sunday.

 

[piper1]

only managed to convert only the only for now

Only converted 3 peeps...........................But they haven't seen the Riva yet

 

[Vappa]

Ha, converted my nephew 1 week ago. And he concerted 2 colleagues of his two days later

 

[Balders]

About a dozen at work.
They all knew I was a die hard smoker (28 years or so). Bought my first one, Screwdriver, to try and cut down a bit whilst visiting a friend and parents oop north. That was in June. Then progressed to a Tornado-c and Twist from TW.

Recommended Vapingliquid (good service and cheap) to mates who witnessed me stop smoking. The other day one of our smoking shelters at work had 6 vapers in there and one smoker.
We are allowed to vape inside at work but most feel uncomfortable vaping in the offices. It's banned on our shopfloors though

I Just converted my Dad last week! He had bought a really bad kit about a year and a half ago, and due to his frustration over the bad quality, and extremely short battery life, he went right back to his old habit. It wasn't until he saw me using my X2 that he even considered switching. His eyes lit up, and he said "Wow, I like that!". As soon as he tried it he was hooked. He went online and ordered himself a bunch of stuff right away...and he hasn't put it down since. I am so happy that he stopped smoking....just in time for Christmas! This has made my whole Christmas!

Excellent news, Irishgal, well done, the health benefits alone make it worth the switch, and this will also give you a good idea on what you can get him for Christmas, juices, spares etc!

Another benefit I am enjoying this Christmas is spending £10 to stock up on vaping as opposed to £100.

One! My sister, neither of us are finding it very hard!

I have only been vaping for about a month after giving up ordinary cigs for 13 months. Since puffing merrily on my 'pretend' ciggy, I have introduced five friends to the alternative, one I know has taken it up and I have yet to hunt down the others )
