Three smokers I tried to convert over a year ago. None showed ANY interest, well, not any real interest. Suddenly, I have the below to work with:
#1
A woman who was going to be a "die with a cig in her hand" person. HEAVY smoker. Suddenly she has gone three weeks without a cig. Saw her with a chrome blinky tube of sorts (some china job) with a tank on it. She is my first target. The beginning of success. She will be back in a heartbeat once things start failing is my worry.
#2
A friend who took advice he remembered from a year ago when I was holding either a provari or zmax. Another blinky tube mod. Still smoking a little, and has already complained about juice cost. ($1/ml)
#3
His wife got him a mail order. Called firestorm or something, so I suspect I will recognize it as a blinky tube. Not yet started, I am going to have him see if he can return. Bet he has enough invested to pay most of the startup on a reo that he can get back.
Things I suspect of all three:
-no backups
-no research or desire to
-none will treat it as a hobby
-they all paid too much based on my first two points and will continue to if I don't help
I'm going to set up two grands as loaners. I have plenty of batteries, and a charger at work. I can charge and swap all they need. I'm going to find out the power level and resistance of their stuff and post here my coil estimation to see if people agree. I'll use silica wick so I don't turn them off as cotton burners, they can try that later once I hook them. I'm going to tell them about rebuilding coils, but let them know they need to just try the reo first, I can show them coils later. Once they find out that $10 in materials will carry them a LONG time, it may sway them.
I'm going to print out an RTD order with an xtar and two batteries, and a reo order with a grand and RM2. No springs or rebuild kits, I have lots and will have more when the sub ohm kits hit. I am sure I have at least 5 cards from Rob, they will get one each. Around here, that whole setup is less than a month of cigs. I will drive that point home if they go to a reo or not. If they don't, I will be handing out a lot of toppers I still have around that I had good luck with.
For juice, I need some help. I DIY and haven't bought any in over a year. I need suggestions of vendors who are reasonable cost and quality. ECBLends is the only one I remember that I used and would use again. I just woke up with the idea less than two hours ago...so I will re-read this later and see if I am missing something. Comments and suggestions are always welcome.
