The next time, just tell them where you got the equipment (have a business card on hand) point them to the liquid place you purchase from. Do not offer to do it for them. Once you start, it is hard to get off that train.
How much more forward should I pay it!?

Something like this happened to me with someone from work. I decided to use irony and sarcasm to get my point across in an Amos and Andy sort of way. I put on black face, a butlers suit and follwed her around saying "Canz I gets ya sommo juice Ms. Daisy? Id'z be happy to payz for it mi self! Canz I getz ya anything else Ms Daisy?" Man did that backfire! She didn't get the point and HR yelled at me for 2 days for being racially insensitive. I ended up having to host the Black History Month information table at lunch time every day for a week.
This reminds me of old smoker friends.
'Can I bum one from you?' - Yeah sure, I don't see why not.
'I'm broke, can you spot me a pack?' - Well sure, as long as I get one back sometime (haahaha)
'Dude get me that carton.' - Um...f-no.

Yeah eh! Whats up with that, there were some guys you could pretty much set your watch by.
Yeah, it's break-time, here he comes again, "Can I bum a smoke dude"?
Get a job ya bum...here ya go then.
Has anyone ever, I mean ever, been paid back by this type of guy?
Back when smokes were under a buck a pack is one thing, no probs!
But now at 10 bucks plus.....Heck no, get a job! lol
Sadly people today expect a free ride. The more you give the more they take. Don't waste your time. You open yourself up to liability issues these days trying to help out. They have a problem with whatever and can sue. Believe me I have seen it all.
Years ago, while drinking beer and playing cards, a good friend finally hit me up to bum a smoke. No problem! A while later, he hit me up again and again, no problem. The third time he hit me up, I said "they sell smokes right there at the bar". He said "no, I quit!" I said "you didn't quit smoking. You just quit buying."
So far, I have never been hit up for a vape.

I have givin away a lot of gear I did not want to. All part of the person inside you. You must be a good person to do it. CHEERS!
That joke is olderNdirt
Edit: But I've used it myself on bums
And now, you know where it originated!
Just gave a coworker a Spinner, an Aspire topper, charger, and juice. I hope it works out for her.

That's a variation on a more common issue. You convince someone that vaping is a good alternative to smoking. Next thing you know, they are bugging you to fix every leak and problem that comes down the road - as if they've suddenly become your responsibility.
Hahahaha! Actually I would be in trouble if I handled it that way, as this lady is black.
This is so true...I work at the USC School of Law so I too have seen a lot of things I never would have believed before.
That's awful... I can't imagine going up to someone that I've never talked to before and asking them to do that. And then to act like it wasn't good enough? That is just craziness. The sense of entitlement some people have is insane.
I have a co-worker that is interested in starting to vape, but all he asks me about is where to get stuff. I can't imagine him ever asking me to give him anything. But since I know him, I have no rpoblem letting him trying liquid that neither my husband nor I like to see if he's interested in it.

I'd pull a couple of vape business cards out of my wallet (you get them with just about every order from just about every vendor), hand her one, and get on with my day.
