And even if she doesn't 'take to it' as soon as you might like (like right away, lol) ... just remember that at least she will be aware of it now. Sometimes it takes awhile - some people jump right in and others need to think and digest it for awhile. Who knows? She may come back to you in a month or two or whenever with a 'remember that ecig thing you showed me, unc? And remember to tell her how much fun you have had quitting smoking with it! ;)

how about something like this Purple Bloog with blue light and then get carts in purple or whatever color she loves seeing as she is 22.

How about a ego with a ego-t LR? ego battery with a smokteck dct tank and some strawberry juice from flavor crafters? i know when i use those here in Winnipeg, a lot of smoking young girls (younger then me who is 40 in a few months) ask me what i have i have and are interested in it

What difference does it make that she's 22? IF she wants to quit, she will give it a good go, and if she doesn't then she won't. It's more about her mindset than her age. I'm 21 and my boyfriend is 29 and we both quit without issue, using e-cigs, but only because we wanted to and believed it would work.

Well, don't want to start an age war :) but I was just looking for some guidance on the best way to approach her since she is young. I know that my mindset at 22 was a hell of a lot different than now. It's been sooooo long now, that I can't really remember what it was like at 22 ;)

This could go one of 3 ways... I'll get the worst out of the way first...
1 - No matter what you say or do she won't be interested.... Would be a sad end point, but it can clearly happen.
2 - Get her something like the Smokeless Image Volt, Halo G6, or Bloog - These "look" much more "ordinary" and are much less likely to "stand out" if she's concerned about that.
3 - Get her interested in something more substantial, at minimum an eGo type.

There are really too many unknowns here to really be of too much help to you... How much does she smoke? This will be a big determining factor as to whether a 808D like the Halo G6 etc will fit the bill...
"Why" does she smoke? Enjoyment? May be more willing to go for the eGo style. Socially? Maybe the G6 is more suitable, etc...
Does she like the tobacco flavor, or would she be interested in better, true, flavors...
Maybe equate it to a Hooka to some degree, which are growing more familiar with younger crowds lately and people seek for the social aspect and flavors are MUCH more common in that world.

Bottom line is I really think the conversation needs to be about introducing her to a safer world she may not be familiar with, and dispelling the many myths.. Maybe a friend had a bad experience with a mall or gas station ecig, etc...

Education is everything, I think any new potential vaper needs to understand what's available out there from the hardware to liquids, etc.. Prefilled carts are all some are interested in, where some (myself included) spent countless time and money trying MANY different devices and ending on a ProVari....

The other question for her, you, and her mother - does she want something to help quit, or does she enjoy it / is looking for a long term alternative...

Sorry for the rant, but I hope this may help...

Too bad Jug'z is down - I think his organic french vanilla might do the trick!

Hey Farmer_bric, I am not that far away from you and I just got a 10ml sample of the Organic French Vanilla, I would be more than happy to swing over with a few filled LR Boge carts for you, or give you half my bottle if you think it will help.

Heck I can tell you all the juice I currently have and you could pick from them as well :)

I also have my Canadian E-cigarette Redds, with a few un used carts if you thought an auto battery might be more interesting for her to try, I could loan that to you as well.

On the note of if she wants to, just vape away in front of her , you would be surprised how interested she might be.

I know at the Legion for the Dart banquet, a few 20ish year old's were quite interested in the EGO and lavatube me and the betterhalf were using. One pulled her father out and said.. " that I want one of those"
