How often do you see cig-a-like users?

[chopdoc]

I've seen all types here and there, it's not every day, but when Ed's driving the motorcycle he's not really able to watch more than traffic so I'm back there looking around contemplating my belly button, so I've seen quite a few drivers, folks walking etc. eGo's to mods..more and more each week, or I'm just noticing it.

So thats what yall do when riding back there. I havent rode the missus since quitting smoking but I always thought yall was there to light smokes for us when needed.

I never see any unless I am at some vape related thing. I do get asked a lot about what I have and asked where they can get one. I am usually out with a provari. I never suggest that they get one. I tell them they should start off with something less expensive to see if they even like it before they drop a ton of money.

How often do you see cig-a-like users?

Hardly ever, but I also rarely see vapers around these parts. One of the managers at work is using a Blu kit, but he wants to switch to something along the lines of what I use because he's not that happy with it.

Never almost everyones got egos and the rare vamo or MVP

This.
I've never seen anyone use a cig alike. When I see ppl vaping which I AM seeing more often now, they're usually on an ego or something similar.

I know a couple of people that use them. Neither of these people have managed to quit smoking, but I guess using the cig-a-like sometimes is still an improvement.

I don't see them around a lot but I don't think that they are going anywhere. Alot of smokers wanting to quit can pick them up at any gas station or c-store and it appeals to smokers being the same size as cigarettes.

I will say Blu started me vaping.
I was off work one day and woke up and went to the local gas station and bought a Blu. It didn't last nearly the 400 puffs it said it would but it got me searching. I ordered an Ego kit that same day, Provari within 2 weeks and a year and 2 months later I haven't taken a single puff off an analog.
Blu's are a gateway!...to better vaping

I've only seen three vapers of any kind in 10 months and two of them were husband and wife. Lots of smokers though when I go for walks downtown at lunch. Lots of shadowy smokers lurking about. But no, none of those very pleasant vapers. Cig-a-likes? (scoff) hardly.

 

[cocoloco]

We've been vaping cig-a-likes for three years now, and other than seeing each other, we've never run into another vaper ... period.

You weren't up in Canada were you?

Nope ... just Colorado.

Only once or twice ever, and I see people using mechs at least 10 times a day if I am out. Granted, cig-alikes are harder to spot.

 

[samturdo]

saw one last week at a party. it was an older greek lady. she firmly believed that it contained no nicotine because it wasnt smoke. if u know greeks, u know why i didnt even try to argue. she was happy with it though

 

[Racehorse]

but literally everyone I see whose got a device hasn’t ever got a cig-a-like.

And so, you have completely missed the advantage o cigalikes.

They are stealthy. People are more apt to notice big PVs, which is why many cigalike users buy what they buy. They don't want to be sucking on a big ol' PV in public.

I don't see a real future in cig-a-likes personally, seriously I don't because nobody buys them.

and that is why the eRoll topic here was given it's own forum here, and has been busy, and the main topic is 84 pages long.


By the way, guys n' gals, there are lots o folks who have hand/finger problems, they need cig a likes, no buttons to push, lightweight.

(lightweight also appeals to people who like to do other things, while hanging an ecig on their lips, or gripped, while working with both hands.)

Cigalikes will not disappear......unless we want to disenfranchise people with arthritis, etc. from vaping. Smething to keep in mind........and I realize a lot of young people don't think about these things......

 

[WhiteHighlights]

i see people with cigalikes quite often. just not as often as i see people with mechs or egos.

either its 50+ old women (not trying to be sexist but thats ALL i see) or its 17 or younger(which i think is sad) children with them "hooka pen" cigalikes from the gasstation...

I will say Blu started me vaping.

LOL. I'm a 50+ female who impulsively grabbed a Blu starter kit instead of a carton of cigarettes and 2 weeks later had a Provari. I agree Blu is a gateway to vaping

I didn't see another vaper in the wild until close to my 1 year vaperversary - we were visiting my in-laws in Ohio and I saw a man in a bar stealth vaping an ego. My husband didn't understand why I was so excited, ha ha. Back home, I caught a guy getting out of a van slipping an MVP2 into his pocket as he went to play a round of golf. Third and final sighting of a vaper in the wild was a week ago I - driving past the library I saw a woman with a cigalike, probably Blu. I'm happy to see more vapers around, whatever they use.

An aunt of mine vapes cigalikes, so I see her doing it at family functions, don't know if that counts, though. Never seen anyone using them in the wild.

The only fellow vaper I have seen in the wild was while I was out and about in traffic. I was sitting at a red light, vaping one of my 650 Spinners/w iClear16, and this fellow pulls up beside me and honks his horn briefly. I look over, he held up his own eGo setup for me to see, then grins and gives me a thumbs-up. Pretty cool.

saw a pretty purple MVP 2.0 Shine with a mini nautilus on it at the gas station in the hands of someone pumping gas and vaping I gave 'er a "cheers" with my iStick Mini and of course she had to come over ..."what is that?" *lol* I was late to getting my dad to the doc's but I gave told 'er to go to ECF do a search on iStick *lol*

Ed's brother in OKC still uses the blu but hates it..but hates ciggies more, we're sending him a care package.

^How cool is that? Very cool.

 

[Brynglas]

As far as i know,i've never seen a cigalike user in the flesh.

Or are they so life like i didn't notice.Nah!

Only once or twice ever, and I see people using mechs at least 10 times a day if I am out. Granted, cig-alikes are harder to spot.

Especially if they don't have a lanyard around their necks like my wife and I have. Maybe that's why we haven't spotted another of our kind in the wild. And I have to agree with others that just because they are hard to spot, doesn't mean that cig-a-likes are a dying breed.
