Yes, I would never vape any fruity flavored e-Liquid is what I was saying here I am half a bottle through my Fruit By The Drop and vaping Tropical For the last couple of hours. It used to be how enjoyable a cigarette was after a good meal. Tonight it was cutting it and I have been vaping my Tropical Fruit since............ :w00t::vapor:

Good idea i'll sneak some flavours into his tobacco first then he can gradually ease over to the dark, but sweet, light and juicy side

I personally would not sneak it in on him you could turn him off on vaping. Maybe ask him to try something of yours? I doubt your worried about sharing it with your Dad or maybe him more about where your lips have been? Ha Hah. If you are grab a rubber tip from the vape shop! Good Luck!

Good luck, helping him make the switch. When I first started, I thought I wouldn't be able to go without Tobacco flavors. Funny thing is, I didn't really like any of them. The one exception was a caramel, vanilla tobacco flavor that I had found by accident (it was called Golden Pack, so I thought it was going to taste like light cigarettes...lol) . So maybe let him try tobaccos with other flavors added to it, along with the "traditional" kinds. He might suprise himself. Also, unflavored might be key to helping him switch, as well. To me, it's the closest thing to tasting like a cigarette.

Congrats and good luck to you amd your dad.
Like many have said, get him the tobacco flavors first, so many out there, then get him to try something else, you'd be surprised. That's how I started amd now I'm vaping mostly creamy dessert type while still enjoying fruity sometimes and almost haven't gone back to the tobacco type at all.

Last night when speaking I think she did not want to hear about giving up smoking again and politely got off the phone!
I tell people to not look at it like giving up/quitting smoking because you still get to smoke/vape, look at it like you're giving up the cancer emphysema and heart disease.

My friend is a very intelligent person but is one who is sort of negative when it comes to change. She knows all about the health risks and her husband had to give up smoking because if it. I just keep asking if she broke out her vaping gear yet because she owned it before I did. Trying to get her to have a little interest and start using it again and maybe get on the road to quitting again. Treading lightly! :shock:

kitchen isn't exactly a place I'd be comfortable leaving a lithium battery to charge.

Depends on the counter material and if it is an open floor plan ;)

I have granite counters and feel quite safe charging my 16850 batteries there. The charger is plugged into the socket right next to the stove top. Granite back splash and nothing flammable sitting on the counters near it. I actually feel safer charging there than in my office. I am not in my office area all day but I do cruise through the kitchen multiple times during the charging cycle. :D

I also have an open floor plan.

My dad is 70 and he has just started vapeing he's nicked one of my istick50s and a nautilus tank he only vapes ry4 but hates the feel of the driptip in his mouth so keeps putting a cigarette filter in the driptip with a bit hanging out says it feels more like he's smokeing. Least he's trying I keep telling him its not about the cigarettes you smoke its about the ones you don't.

Thanks guys. He had his first vape today, really likes the flavour! Got tobacco and toffee (kinda) in. I feel he is being overly nice because I sorted him out. He is using loads of the nicotine mouth spray so he said he's gonna have a proper vape tomorrow and see how he gets on. He has tried the crappy cornershop pens up until now so I think this little rig has surprised him somewhat. Hopefully tomorrow will be nicotine spray free. We will see.

Hey, even if he is using nicotine spray, he isn't smoking cigarettes. If that's what he needs to stay off the cigs, so be it. My dad actually used meds from his Dr. (not sure what) to "quit" ciggies, and now that he's off them, he vapes a little nic a couple times a day to keep off them. Whatever works. He seems to be doing good and isn't nearly as crabby as he was the last time he quit. I didn't actually notice for a couple days after he quit, until I realized he wasn't running outside every few minutes.

No your right bud but after 2 years of no cigs and just spray he told me he wants a cigarette again and asked how much would it cost to start vaping. I never said a word to him about vaping because he said that's not for me and I didn't want to lure him. No fags is the initial point after all. I would much rather him get involved in vaping than tobacco again though.

I received some new drip tips today from Fasttech and had to hunt this post down to tell you about them. They are silicone drip tips. They aren't too soft nor too hard. But they do give a bit when you are vaping, so to me, they are more like a cigarette than the hard plastic/glass/stainless ones you normally would have. They come in a bunch of colors. I'm sure you can find them on other sites besides Fasttech if you don't normally order from there.
$1.38 Silicone 510 Drip Tip for SUBTANK Mini Clearomizer (5-Pack) - 20.6mm / Black at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
Hope this helps!
