So my husband, I'll call him Brian since that's his name, is the one who got us started in the wonderful world of vaping. One day last June, he was talking with someone who had a little Ego and enthusiastically told Brian how he and his wife, both 20+ year smokers just like ourselves, had been successful with vaping for almost a year, told of a local B & M where they could help us get started, and that weekend off we went, both nervous and excited.
Cut to today. I am sitting here reading message boards, watching coil building tutorials and trying to decide which high watt box mod to buy while he is happily using my hand-me-downs, relying on me to send him off to work with a charged battery and full tank of a flavor juice I fill for him I know he finds tasty (not that I mind that part but if I didn't do it he would not have any vape gear with him) and still smoking. Granted, he's cut way down on the cigs, especially since I set him up with the MVP/Nautilus mini combo, aka something trustworthy.
I'm trying not to remind him (too many times) how he's the one who got us into this to begin with because I don't want to be the naggy ex-smoker wife. But I wish there was some way to convert him completely (okay that sounded way creepier than I intended) and to become a full time vaper. I realize that as a free thinking human that's his choice, but I'm wondering if anyone is in the same boat with a spouse or loved one on the fence.
He is impressed with the Atlantis, and was interested and helpful Saturday night when I was crying, swearing and sweating through my first coil builds, so I'm hoping the more I get into the hobby side of building and such, that will lure him in a little more?
Sorry about the venty vent, and thanks for any advice if you have it!

the way you deal with it is up to you personally. I just stopped buying packs of smokes, so no one could bum off me, and even if i wanted to bum off someone it would just be that 1 or none at all during a break. Eventually I just stopped socially smoking, I dont even socially vape if that means anything, to everyone else I look just like a non-smoker nowadays. I just vape in my car and at home the more I vape at home and in private, the less and less I felt the need for cigarettes on a day out.
It's just the way things work.
