I missed the shows, but I did convert an old friend

I was hoping to make one or both of the Canuck shows that were on this evening, but events turned out a little differently. I've been talking to a friend I recently reconnected with; we've known each other since our earlier teens, and he is my oldest friend. It has been a few years since I spoke to him last -- he had a lot of personal stuff pile up and we kind of fell out of touch. But we've reconnected again, and this evening he decided to spontaneously drop by.

I had already told him about my discovering E-cigarettes, how they worked, and how I got fairly passionate about them. Even directed him to some of my videos. He had tried one his mother got him from the mall a while back, but we all know how those usually turn out, and this was no exception. I told him to come by some time and I'll show him what vaping is really about.

So tonight was that time. We chatted and stuff, I showed him a few things in Photoshop, but a large part of the evening I devoted to showing him a little slice of the world of vaping, and let him try some of my gear. He was rather surprised. He liked the taste, the feel -- it seemed to agree with him quite well. He immediately liked a grape juice I let him try that I already had loaded in an 808. I explained how they worked, what sort of things he could expect as he started out and a little further in the long term. In the end, I hooked him up with a full 808 PCC kit and some juice to last him a couple of weeks at least so he could try it out, see how he took to it in more than just an evening, you know, give it a proper go. I think he's going to like it quite well.

He was here for probably 4 hours or so. In that time he only had one cigarette. The rest of the time he vaped. I have a good feeling he may not be heading for that pack for much longer.

So, yeah. I missed the shows, but I think I had a pretty good excuse for doing so. :)

Sounds like a productive evening. I wish your friend the best of luck.

Actually, it was a pretty productive week -- got caught up on a lot of my reviews, it's just that this was kind of a great way to cap off both a productive week and my vacation time. I'm just kinda proud of the guy and glad he took so well to it initially. He started smoking around the same time I did, possibly a little earlier, and nothing worked to get him off it either, so it's great to see that he may finally be able to get off the 'baccy.

Nice work! Always great to add another one into the fold!

Way to go Mindfield

glad to hear you and your friend found each other again , nice work brining in another convert to the good side..

Thanks. :D I did kinda-sorta convert my brother-in-law, but he's never taken to it very well and he's currently weaning himself off of cigarettes -- and this is his second attempt. He's never been too enthusiastic about it though. My buddy here though was very keen to try a proper E-cig and so far he's really liking it.

love peace & chicken grease.....

Now there's a Texas saying if I ever heard one. :D
