How many smokers have you converted to vapers?

[Shadav]

I've been talking with my mother-in-law about it so I ordered her some ejuice that is supposed to taste like her winstons to see if she thought it would work for her...so yesterday I gave her one of my blu ecigs filled with her juice. Today while at work she ran out of smokes and decided not to buy any atm and give vaping a true go
So I went ahead and gave her my blu kit and I'm giving my vv twist a true go lol instead of switching back and forth.

Working at a gas station we have all at some point discussed our thoughts on e cigs but after I made the flying leap with the blu kit and joining this forum and actually learning more about vaping....I can inform better
but lmfao when I bought the blu my boss and I sat in the office taste testing the variety pack and after her seeing me now vaping for a good solid week or two at work she's talking about buying a kit herself if nothing else just to vape the java jolt lmfao but she admits that she likes my vv twist and thought it was clever that I could use the blu carts on it as well as my evod/vivi nova...

give me time hahaha I can convert a lot of people while at work

In my group of friends, I have either gotten, or helped get at least 7 people off of analogs and onto vaping.

At work, I have managed to get a few to buy some Ego setups.

I would say 10 at least.

My wife will be converting on Saturday because I was able to quit smokerettes by vaping. very excited about this.

I've converted about 5 people. My next door neighbor, a guy I work with, my GF's step-mom, her brother and her uncle. I probably have converted a few strangers too. I've given info and business cards out to at least 20 people but I don't know what came of it.

I have still not converted the most important person though. My GF. She just thinks it's silly. Everything I've tried has failed. She thinks it's weird to "smoke" all these different flavors and has been totally stand-offish about it. She totally refuses to take even one puff. She likes to make fun of me about it actually, telling me I'm "smoking" girly flavors and that I look like I'm sucking on a woman's pleasure device. I just blow her off because I know it's just some kind of defense mechanism or something. She's also really stubborn about most things. She won't try new food. She can only drive "her" car. She won't talk on the phone to customer service or to even order a pizza, no matter how much I try to get her to. I think eventually I will get her to come around. Or at least I hope so, for her sake.

my gf was the same way. same attitude - won't try new foods. stubborn as all get out. at first she made fun of me for using my twists and clearos. said they looked silly. became almost hostile whenever i'd suggest she just try them. so then i ordered a vamo, and a pink clearo for her without her knowledge. one day filled it with some tobacco flavor, stuck it onto one of my now-backup twists, and handed it to her to try. she said it was a setup. but she took it and started using it. that was about a month ago. now she has both my twists, several of my clearos, and the other week started asking me about different flavors, so she has several clearos filled with various tastes to try. she's only bought one pack of smokes in the past month, and as of last weekend has 'raised the white flag' and told me she 'gives up' and i've 'won' and converted her.

Stick with it, JDP. she'll come around eventually once she sees you sticking to vaping.

So far I got both my roomates into vaping, though they still smoke an occasional stinky, neither of them are buying them anymore. I also just spent the last week going over the ins and outs with a coworker. He just ordered his first setup, and in the meantime I got him setup with an old ego of mine with an evod. Hopefully they can all stick with it, and that I can use the mass of information I've obtained here, as well as my failed experiences, to make their transition that much smoother.

I convert at least a few people every week. And have probably lead to the conversion of many more.

[Neskweek]

In 5 month so far I nearly converted my brother.

I've tried to plant many seeds, but they were all random people I've met who asked or were curious. I don't know if it took with any of them. One guy I had a very long conversation with while on vacation seemed like he was ready to order. We emailed a few times, but I never heard that he had switched.

I tried very hard with my fil, but he is old and very set in his ways. I set him up with juice and batteries while we were visiting, explained everything. Never got him to take more than a puff. I wouldn't trust him to keep juice up and away from his grand kids though, so I never left juice there for him to try. I'm going to pick up a couple of NJoy kings to give to him next time we visit though.

Two - with another two on the way

One guy at work, so far. He actually just came in my office sporting his Twist + eVod combo. He seems really excited even though he doesn't know he's about to be spending all his money on e-cig stuff

I quit 6 days ago and just converted my Father to vaping. He is 69 years old and has been smoking for 50 years @ 2 packs/day. Yay me! My Mother is also quite happy for the change. No more second hand smoke in their home.

1 of the higher ranking guys, a fellow NCO, and 2 of my Airmen.... I'm still working on more converts! I really should buy a newby starter kit that I can pass around and clean up between.

 

[motrix]

trying to convert 3 of my coworkers that use to be my smoking buddies last year. since i started vaping it has peaked their interest. its only a matter of time that they convert. then i will have back up juice pushers at work when i am in need, at least that is my plan.

 

[ChillinMonkey]

Have converted 4 so far. Hope to convert more of my smoking friends. So much better!

Without trying (or preaching ) I`ve converted 4 people now and supplied them with the kit (just basic 2 x Ego`s,charger,cartomisers and juice to get them on their way) as I`ve given away the basics that got me started so figure they might as well start with something tried tested and not too complex that it`ll put them off
If they want to move on later I`m here to help with things like clearo`s, RBA`s and variable voltage but I have found with all four guys so far they want something to take and vape anywhere.
I`m not on any sort of "mission" but it is nice to see results as well as dispel myths about vaping.
