    Please do not get her hooked on disposables. I see a trend with disposables users where they get too hooked on the convenience & flavors and also get addicted to the high mg nicotine in these disposables. Learn all you can and start with a refillable open system with 20mg or lower juice.

    Also be aware that changing someone's life is impossible if they themselves are not wanting to make any changes in their life.

    Hello and welcome, etrips.

    What is your own preferred vape setup? I think the best way to get a partner to convert from smoking to vaping is to get them a setup they will like. I am not fond of disposables. A real starter kit with rechargeable batteries and refillable tanks can still be had relatively inexpensively.

    Best of luck to you both.

    to ECF etrips. So glad that you are here. And yes you have found the right place to find out anything you need to know. I think that is a wonderful idea about helping your gal. Good luck to both of you.

    Make yourself at home.

    I just want to edit my reply above, to etrips, to say that you won't convert your girl from combustion by insistence. If it happens it will be because you offered the starter kit, a couple of fabulous flavor liquids, and maybe issued a challenge/reward. Like "try vaping instead of smoking for one evening, and if you make it to bedtime, you can still have a cigarette if you still want one, and if you succeed at meeting the challenge there is a gift for you (beautiful lingerie, bottle of brandy, invitation to dinner at her favorite restaurant, or whatever will appeal)".

    Show her a list of flavors. If you vape yourself, make sure the starter kit you give her will be one you'll be fine using yourself if she rejects it and doesn't like vaping at all.

    Welcome! My husband was the person who introduced me to modern vaping. He had gotten off the cigarettes and started vaping and would simply invite me along when he went to buy stuff. The atmosphere around vaping is quite a bit different now you used to be able to try the juices they would have like a counter almost like a bar where you could sample stuff. Now that isn't available in most places I believe and some places might not even have a store. But what he would do was basically he'd buy whatever he needed and then he'd pick up something for me. Be like pick something out and I pick something out and he's like all right we'll take that too pick out a flavor oh my God I'll take this All right we'll get that too and we would leave and he would pay for it. Now our relationship dynamic is a little old-fashioned like I'm a housewife so that might not be a good idea for your situation. But there is one thing that will be true no matter what a relationship is like and that is a person can only change when it's their decision. And their reasoning can be lots of different things usually is many different things all at once. One of those things could very well be you. But for the most part it's going to be about them. At least for me had my husband pushed me or pressured me or something else it probably would have turned out a lot differently But instead he kept his complaints to the minimum and just helped me by showing me how to do vape stuff like buy coils and put them in and fill up tanks and all that kind of stuff. So it was almost like an activity we did together we would try each other's flavors and it just became more interesting to vape than it did to smoke. Lol Just my personal story I don't know if it's applicable to you but it sounds like you have a jump start in that they are already interested in vaping
