So I was just wondering how many people out there have started their own mini vape revolution? Everyone I have encountered seems to vary in reaction and acceptance, but almost every smoker has come around and warmed up to the idea. Even the smokers who said it would not work for them have begun to crack. 3 weeks ago I didn't know anything about vapin, and just by talking to people and showing them what I have learned(more so answering questions, then advertising).... I now know 7 people giving it a shot! Its kind of crazy, but PV's kind of speak for themselves. I passed on every Website possible, and I hope it works just as well for them. Its exciting to think of the ripple that creates.

ive been converting people quickly i thinkmy total is 5 but most happened since last month so it spreads quick thats for sure

Now if we could just make a pyramid scheme out of this..... 25% from the people you convert... then 10% from the people they convert and 5% from the converts converts converts.... be a gabillionaire in no time!!.... nah just kidding (sort of) as long as those people are healthier happier people its good enough.... well that and a giant short on phillip morris and rj reynolds stock!

It's getting so every time I turn around someone is asking about my vapestick. Just this weekend I had three people ask where they can get one. I give my usual spiel about ordering online, avoiding kiosks, etc and I've got a standard email drafted & ready to go because I'm responding to so many requests. I have strangers stop me when they see my blue light to ask if it's one of 'those electronic thingies'. My husband was vaping at a bar when the owner started to tell him "there's no smo........oh, it's one of those elcetronic thingies, no problem!" I've yet to encounter one single detractor or get one single negative comment, and I'm pleased that even out in BFE where I tend to socialize the most people are aware of what these things are. I've not encountered anyone who has a problem w/me vaping in their car or home. I will say that when in public places I blow my steam downward so as not to make a spectacle and draw unneeded attention.

I read on here about all these Negative Nellies and their pearl clutching, but I just haven't had the displeasure of actually meeting a live one. I suspect it's because most former/anti/non smokers are not as zealous or rabid as the extremists we read about on here. I think those are a minority, and I hope they stay that way. In fact, I'm heartened to read more comments to articles where non-smokers say that even they think these extreme rules and bans are going too far.

When I was taking some college classes awhile back, the first night I vaped outside on campus the campus pd noticed right away. Once they found out it wasn't a joint of some sort they started asking questions. Well to make a long story short, within about 2 weeks I had managed to convert every smoking cop into a vaping cop.

Lol I had this happen at a bar here in MO where smoking is legal. I was trying to be kind of covert with it and he made me go outside with him and a week later he was vaping as well.

Funny, I just got an email this morning from a major Television star who has his own show. He comes out to Arizona every year to visit me after he's done shooting the year's series. Last March he was here and he tried my e-cig collection and said "Well, I got to get some of these and quit cigarettes." I told him to just let me know when he's ready and I'll send him out a kit and some juice with detailed instructions. Well he just did and I'm making up a package for him. It will consist of 2 KGO 1100 Mah batts with charger, a riva 750 kit and a couple boxes of Boge 2.0 cartos with a box of dual coil cartos. I'm throwing in some Prime 15 from Halo at 18mg, some tiki juice from Halo at 18mg and a couple bottles of cappucinno from Mad Vapes. Also some tobacco flavors from various vendors I liked when I first started but quickly tired of and went to flavors. I've made a deal with him. If vaping works and he gets off cigarettes, he's got to show vaping on air in one of his episodes. Hope it works and I will keep ECF updated on his progress. I've come to the conclusion that whether we like it or not, If we vape in public then we are all ambassadors for e-cigarettes and if asked, we have a responsibility to share our knowledge. The life we save may be our best friend's.

I ran into my first "other vaper" experience the other day. I took a Vape break in the smoking area (I work with other companies and am often a visitor, so I try and be PC) and I met another vaper.... we were kin from the moment we spotted each others led lights. We talked for 35 mins and exchanged vendor names and such. It was really neat
