I kinda feel bad for trying to be an "enabler" (a somewhat funny story)

My co-worker is pretty much responsible for making me move on from Blu cig-alikes. Long story short, I tried her eGo during my "Blu-phase" and ended up buying a Spinner, then I bought a Sigelei Zmax V5, and sold her my Spinner. (I also ordered a genesis atty and mechanical mod to try my hand at that tinkering aspect of vaping, though I still love my carto tanks!)

So now, after what seems like only a short time later, both her eGo and my former Spinner are always blinking, not holding a charge, misfiring, etc. What's the first thing I think to tell her? You got it. I tell her, "It's time for you to make the jump...upgrade to a Provari, sister!"

I don't even own a Provari and I'm telling her to buy one! LOL, what the *BLEEP* is wrong with me?

As we chit chat more about devices and vaping in general, I ask her if she's cleaned her batteries and connections - yep, she has. Then I'm like, "Hold up, you've been vaping straight cinnamon for like 3 weeks...when's the last time you changed the coil?!?!" She says, "Oh, you mean the wick thingy? Never."

That resulted in me being speechless, a lot of :blink:, then a big :facepalm: - LOL!!!

Love your avatar MadOzodi.....
Yeah, you might as well face the facts and get a ProVari.

Thanks! It's really weird, isn't it? But I'm really not as weird as my handle and avatar might imply, trust me.

And yeah, I've already given in to the fact that I'll be getting a ProVari in the near future. :thumb: It's not even going to be a "quit-analog-anniversary-gift" or anything like that, heheh.

I don't think a ketchup bottle head is weird. :blink:

Phew...ok, I'm glad I'm not the only one. But in the past, I've kinda had to act like it at first, due to some people's reactions. LOL

Update on my co-worker's saga:

She went to a B&M last night after work to pick up a new eGO; I suggested she pick up one of the smaller (800mah or thereabouts) batteries to hold her over/have as a backup. So she purchases one and charges it overnight. She said she checked to make sure it was charged before leaving for work this morning, but when she broke it out to use it earlier today - zilch, nil, nada, no-worky, toast.

I need a ProVari meme-generator so I can send her a pic of a 'Vari that has just one word at the bottom: SOON

:lol:

Tell her to click it five times to turn it on.

(I bought my daughter's in-laws a kit as a gift, charged the batteries, then gave it to them. They didn't work and we went back to the store, where we found out I was stupid)

Oh so funny that you mention that...I got a txt from her about an hour ago saying it was exactly what she failed to do! My response was, "Hrmmms, maybe you shouldn't get a ProVari..."
I know I told her to sign up to ECF several weeks ago and she told me she did. I hope she doesn't figure out I'm publicizing her woes! Nyuk-Nyuk-Nyaaaah :evil:

You might be surprised at how many times that shows up in the New Members forum. It's really hard for me to ask someone if they tried that.
