I think I converted someone!

[MiztrezzLyn]

Our friend came over today. He's been trying to quit smoking for a long time. He saw our PV's and asked about them so, of course, I told him all about them.

He lives with his gf who is very anti-smoking and SHE HATES HIM SMOKING. Anyway, he HAPPENED to just have $60 on him and instantly wanted to buy some PV stuff.

I ordered him an EGO kit from Liberty Flights ($40) some cartomizers, and a drip tip. I drip so he might like it also. I gave him about 30ml of juice total of stuff that I absolutely hated but he liked. Its the cigarette tasting kinda juice from a couple places here. Some cartos and some cartridges.

Now, *I* myself just started vaping 2 weeks ago. I started with a 510 and then my husband got a Riva kit from LF.

I lent him all my 510 stuff! Just to borrow and I'll probably have it back in a week.

I just really felt sorry for him, he has his stuff ordered but might not get it till Thursday or Friday and I don't want him buying a pack of cigarettes.

NOW, My husband and I are vaping on the 2 Riva batteries we got with his kit. One charger, 2 vapers...I hope it goes okay hehe

Ahh well, at least I've converted someone whom I care about to vape and save money, not to mention his health. I feel good I told him about these forums and the myriad of videos that he can watch to learn about vaping.

Oh, I also gave him a 510 pt that someone here pif'd to me. I can't seem to get it to work, I think because the usb extension cord I have doesn't put out enough...volts? or whatever it is that it needs.

Anyway, yay!

[KissMint]

Nice story, yay yay

 

[Dooter]

That's so cool of you!

I hope that I'm in a position one day to let someone borrow my stuff to help convince them how much better vaping is than smoking!

 

[malaga82287]

Thats awesome! I actually converted a co-worker a few days ago! He was so intrigued with my ecig he went and bought one the next day, and hes loving it! I think I also have 2 more co-workers who are probably gonna get one as well...they just gotta wait for their paychecks! LOL!

My best friend quit smoking a few years back, right before he got married, at the wife's request. He said it was hard, but he made it look easy. He just quit and never complained. However on occasion he will comment about taking a drag off mine or something, and naturally I don't let him. I am thinking perhaps that if he keeps getting urges then maybe a 0-nic PV solution might work for him and possibly also give me a buddy to vape with. Then again, I would also be afraid that it would bring back the old habit of smoking and he would go back to analogs. Something I will discuss with him tomorrow I think while we're out.

Fist bump!

I converted Mrs. Doctor Vapenstein and one of the Sergeants at my day job. It's a good feeling. Lots of people who smoke wish they didn't. Some of them are ripe for conversion.

 

[afrsss]

good for you! Let's hope we all can pay it forward.

 

[julieann]

Way to Go! I'm still trying to convert my husband, with semi-success.

 

[kathy365]

Nice! It feels so good when we can get others to at least try vaping...I have 2 co-workers now vaping & some family members are also now joining the bandwagon. I found that having a few people around to learn with (along with this wonderful forum) helps the process of quitting the anologs & learning all that goes with vaping is so helpful.

 

[dormouse]

That's nice!! Good luck to your friend!

I showed my PV around the small office where I work and one girl is going to suggest e-cigs to her mom.

 

[rpm13]

I am trying to convert my wife...very hard going...She still buys analogs at 12.50 a pack (current price in NYC), although the phone calls to me on my way home to get her cigs stopped because I now refuse.....I wish everyone would stop smoking now, I can't stand the smell of analogs anymore....

 

[DocWyatt]

I have tried to get a friend to try them. She won't try ecigs as she isn't sure if they are safe... but then asks me to go outside and have an analog with her...

LOL, I have explained and explained...she won't listen... so whatever.

 

[Rhapsodies Fire]

Excellent! Well done! That is what we have been doing with our friends who show an interest. Hopefully he'll join us here and carry on the tradition!

 

[Wilvin]

Well I may have one of my Facebook friends interested. I gave him the link to here and told him to read the info in the library and in the New member stickies, also to ask questions. I have been giving daily updates on my status and that got him interested.
