Well I'm just going to have to step up my efforts!! Great to hear about how many people are no longer on the stinkys!

I tried that. The tribes people of the Amazon rain forest though I was a devil and darted me. I woke up three weeks later on the edge of Peru. I'd be angry with them for darting me but that's the best, most psychedelic sleep I ever had.
I had to laugh about this...and here they say we germans don't know how to laugh (or joke or whatever)
you so lucky....I tried with several people/friends....I seem to be unable to get anyone as enthused as I am about it.
what am I doing wrong
Here in the UK we have Champix instead of Chantix, and yes, it's just as bad.
Tried 2 courses of it before I gave up on giving up. Then I found vaping.

I'm a pharmacy tech and I always want to recommend vaping to people on Chantix or those who ask about smoking cessation products, however, by law I'm not allowed to. :/ when I become a pharmacist, I will!
Hi Kim. good for you. I had a script for Chantix and I read and asked for Wellbutrine. None of that side effects for me. I got neither. An joytech starter kit and 3 piece sampler...... that was all that I needed.
If I remember correctly the Pharmecutical companies rebranded Welbutrin as Zyban and charged 5 times more for it!! They may be evil but they are smart!!!
lol-I backed off-I was initially maybe a bit too enthusiastic with smokers at first trying to convince them to switch because I was so enthralled with fact that something finally worked for me-then I just stopped talking so much, and just did my thing; people would comment on the nice smell and how I didn't have to freeze my .... off in the cold at work since I could stealth vape. I bought my mom a cheap kit and flings "to play around with on the side" for Christmas(had no other ideas for gifts, she's got enough stuff-figured it was worth a shot)-now she bought her best friend a similar kit-so I have them two under my wing-and mom's neighbor wants to switch. then a janitor at my work is interested now. Luckily a vape shop opened recently, and I have been giving these fine folks flyers too to check out stuff/juice flavors that I can't do on the side(got kids and other stuff taking precedence at moment-baseball season beginning-heck I have enough of a hard time finding juice I like, let alone others). I post on fb; I'm proof movement stuff mostly and info from local shop. Got a pm the other day from an old friend from long ago youth cheerleading days saying my posts about e-cigs led her to try and she gave up cigs for lent and is using e-cig now. So in my case, less is more. If people want to quit, and are seriously are interested, believe me they come around and ask lots of questions or just quietly take it in and try on their own-if they want to try, great, if not, their choice.
Two more converted today for a total of eight.
I'm averaging more than one every two days since starting to vape. At this rate I will singlehandedly create a smoke free Australia!

When I first started vaping I used to tell everybody that asked about it, Id give them all this information on all the pluses of vaping vs smoking. Even once got a girl to vape for a couple weeks. Never got anybody to quit.
Now being over a year vaping I dont even talk to people about it. Occasionally someone will make a comment or ask what it is, I tell them an electronic cigarette, and they look at me like I'm lying. Or theyll start talking about some vaporizer for another substance and I'm like good for you, dont really care about what youre talking about. Or sometimes I'll get the totally ignorant person who would get mad at me suggesting someone vape instead of smoke because smoking's 100% natural and "that thing" has all kinds of chemicals and I dont know whats in it etc. etc...
I think I just realized after a while smokers were just nodding thier heads in agreement with everything I told them about vaping vs. smoking, and could care less, they wanted to smoke, so I was just like why bother talking about it anymore. Now the conversation is usually
"hey, what is that?"
Electronic cigarette...
"Does it work?"
I quit last february, havent wanted to smoke since.
"Yeah Im quitting soon, I quit back in Y, but then I went through Z and I bought a pack" *lights up and blows smoke in my direction at which point I then make up some reason to move along*
I dont know how you guys have gotten people to quit honestly :/

If you use Facebook just post a "How I Quit Smoking Using E-Cigs" post. Worked for me.
I have 5 converts. I have given all of them an ego battery and a topper filled with a juice that they liked. Only one is still 'part time' smoking cigs.
Earlier this week made a visit to my 'part-time' vaping convert who had totally given up on vaping. She had had a shoping list of vaping issues with her ego twist and t3 tank. She had not ever cleaned or replaced the atomizer on it. So it tasted like refried cow dung and the juice was the color of chocolate syrip. She had been using the pv for approx 4 months. So I definitely understood her frustration. Got her cleaned up and happy again. Also gave her a Puritank and 5-6 atomizer heads, and the block of instruction on cleaning.
So the moral of the story is once you find a convert a 'follow-up exam' may well be in order.

Congrats stratster.
Thanks Sirius. I see myself as less of a missionary and more of a conversion MACHINE these days...
Vaping silly? If so then smoking is just STUPID! Now that a safer alternative that has helped thousands quit is available. I would like to see a poll as to how many people across the US, UK, Canada, The EU, and Oz has quit smoking using e-cigs.
