How many people have you converted?

[Robotin]

so im trying to get my friend into vaping, hes 21 and smokes more than a pack a day. Hes eats like crap, overweight, doesnt work, smells terrible, etc. Just a totally sedentary lifestyle. He is so on the fence about vaping, always say " i want one, but i dont know..." so now, I've decided to buy him a small K101 starter kit. Im hoping that if he stops smoking, it will make him want to live a better life.....


anyway...

how many of you have converted a smoker?

would love to hear your story and how you got them to do it!

I've converted one friend to it and trying with my dad still. Mine was simple, she saw me vape in my pictures (we went to college together). We hung out one day and I had my mechanical mod she tried it and fell in love so we went to the vape shop and my treat I bought her a set beginner set up and now we vape together each time we hang out. I paid as a birthday present to her and plus I got Military discount which saved 20% at the shop.

I got my brother and his wife to start vaping but they are still stuck with smoking as well.. also got my gf started on it but she is still smoking as well. SO I cant say I really converted anyone lol... They have to really want to quit and Im not forcing them. I just hope they decide to quit soon. The benefits are great

My girlfriend is super into my vapes, and I have yet to get her one! She only smokes in times of extreme stress, but it came out to not even a pack every few months. However, she loves the taste and cloud production without the harmful side effects!

My brother is a chimney with his hookah, but he's given it up now because of his preggo girlfriend. I suggested he should start vaping, and he likes the idea, but hookah is kinda his thing.. "We were gonna open a lounge together, maaaan!" haha I might grab him a vape though to keep him from having withdrawls.. He's kinda freaking out now about work and not-smoking.

1, ... Sort of ...

I am still new to vaping, and am still having a few death sticks from time to time, but I'm about to 95% of the time vaping. (~3/day, down from ~30) It's the after dinner and morning coffee ones, that vaping just isnt the same for. However I ordered some new juices, hopefully they will do the job.

anyhow, i turned 1 dude onto it at work when I explained the whole thing, he's like me, still a few coffin nails, but he's down from a 2 PAD habit to about 10 smokes/ day.

I got a couple of friends to try, only 1 has stuck with it. Convincing him to try various flavors, and getting an apv with longer battery life did it I think. I also got him into his first Kayfun and I'm pretty sure he's a vaper for life now. So, one so far.

Best guess for me is 20 or so. I can think of 12 that I know either stuck with it or quit completely. I work in a vape shop and when I'm out in town I leave a 1300 twist and mini pro tank 2 in my car along with 3-4 popular high nic flavors. When I meet someone curious I pay it forward by giving them the twist, tank and a quick lesson on how it works while explaining if they have questions a vapor shop should be of help to them.

I get everything at wholesale so it doesn't cost me more than $30 to get someone started out and they are more likely to give it an honest effort when they have it in their hand. If I don't have anything on them I have $25 vapor shop gift cards on me too so I'll give them that hoping they will visit and get started off cheaper than need be.

Zero.

I was the only person I knew that smoked (still)

I don't have an exact number but I've converted quite a few people. I was the first of my friends to start using an e-cig and now all of them have one. Most of them still throw in the occasional lip or smoke a few cigs but I've gotten many people to cut down/convert. When I pledged at my fraternity I also got a couple people to start vaping.

A few friends and 2 people from work. I try to tell everyone I see that is interested how great Vaping is! It feels good to share with people how great Vaping is and how much better it is than smoking.
