A friend of mine who has been saying "Yeah, I need to get one of those." finally asked me for the V4L link. He said that he's ready to order. I'm excited! I'll let you guys know how it goes.
My buddy asked for the link.

That's really awesome! I actually wound up buying from V4L because I was at an anime convention, and I didn't want to leave the third floor of the hotel to go outside to smoke. My friend had two e-cigs (both from V4L) so I asked him if I could pay him a couple dollars for a cartomizer and to rent one of his batteries for the day...wound up renting it for a while longer. I liked it so much I went home and googled "V4L electronic cigarettes" since I didn't know the full name of the company, only the V4L logo on his XL battery. Found Vapor4Life's site and bought a kit.
Now I've shown it to a few of my friends, as well as shown them around the website a bit and handed them a business card to hang on to so they can remember where to go when they're ready to buy

That is wonderful! I have passed out so many cards. I hope those people ordered. My Brother called me a couple of weeks ago asking for the site...He said a friend of his wanted one and he told him I was the e-cig guru. lol My brother also ordered a kit for him and his girl friend so I am so happy about that.
My parents are in Florida visiting my step dad's kids. They all smoke like fiends. I gave my mom a handfull of business cards. Hopefully, we'll have some new V4L family members soon!
After 6 months of vaping, spreading the good word, and handing out cards like crazy I am proud to say I am the "mom" to 3 new vaping converts - 2 of them hooked on V4L. Woot!
I'll have the 3rd guy switched over soon, I think. He has cartomizer envy -- I can see it in his eyes...

Good luck to your friend!
I know how everyone feels; it's great when you convert someone and you see that they "get" it. There's a learning curve and helping someone through it and watching them come out the other side healthier makes my heart sing!

I've sent quite a few over as well.
I also think there's a lot to be said about guidance at the beginning. I've got an exceptionally long email that I send, covering everything from hardware explanations, links to refilling/cleaning videos, to vaping techniques, to juice strength and explanations of VG/PG (with repeated suggestions to drink a crap-ton of water), etc... One of the first people I referred mentioned feeling extremely dehydrated, at which point I realized that just handing them the card wasn't quite enough. Not everyone is as prone to doing hours of online research as I am

BP you and I think alike, I actually set up a PowerPoint covering everything I could think of when it comes to vaping, and V4L products. I used to just send links to ECF, however quickly discovered nobody would check the links and found myself repeatedly answering e-mail questions.
Now I just attach a file and wish them the best of luck.

haha! powerpoint - good idea. My email is SO long I sometimes wonder if they even read it. Maybe a PP would be better for hitting the bulletpoints - although not everybody has PP. maybe an interactive guide in Flash with video demos, embedded on a webpage... hmm, the noggin gears are grinding. sounds like a lot of work. nah! heheh
Just got a reply. he ordered 2. One 4 him, 1 4 the wife. Should be in his mailbox by the end of the week.
I converted one of my oldest friends last night. He had "the patch" on and a half squished cig-.... in an empty pack of smokes. He was reluctant to try it but I made him. He did and his eyes lit up. Wow 555 gets'em every time.hahaha! I told him that if he was serious about it and learning the ins and outs(I will give the crash course) I would buy the starter kit for him. He agreed and is pretty psyched.
He, like me, loves smoking and doesn't want to quit....per say. We are both 35 and the ill effects of analogs has really started to show it's ugly head ...or .... for that matter. It is a way to quit...without quitting...while deciding how to quit.

I let my brother-in-law try one last night - I also gave him the Wow 555 first (had it with me specifically because I had a feeling he'd want to try it, and knew that would be a good option, instead of my weaker 50/50 fruity stuff). Its so fun seeing their expressions when they try it for the first time - "eyes light up" is exactly what happens - they always seem to be expecting something really crappy and disappointing. He said "That's really good! I'm shocked at how good that is!" Then he asked me to send him the info, with a kid-like excitement and a hint of "please don't forget"... so I forwarded my ginormous, pre-typed primer with website links right when I got home. Fun stuff.Like a missionary, spreading the good word... fighting the evil forces of tobaccobeelzebub.
I've already converted about 5 people over as well. V4L should have a referral program imo.
