My family is getting onboard

[BlitzkriegTim]

Sorry I've been off the forums for a while, been on vacation and such. So I just got back from Ontario this past weekend and it seems like my whole family is having a change of heart towards E-cigs. When I went home at Christmas it was like they all thought it was a gag "look at that neat little fake smoke". Suddenly they all want one, my little brother, my mother's fiance, my older brother, my best friend. They all seem jealous that I just happily puff away wherever I want. All these hardcore smokers are now coming to me privately and telling me they wish they could just quit, and they're sick of not being able to breath. I sent them all too Happy Vaper and Epuff, I don't know if there are cheaper suppliers nowadays but customer service is why I suggested these two. Anyway, sorry for the rant, I just found it quite amusing how this took off throughout my family after a couple month delay. +4 for the good guys!

I showed my mother my eGo she thought I was nuts. A few days later when she found I wasn't smoking she asked when was I going to give up the eGo. She didn't get it. She is not a smoker. Last week she gave me the money to buy one for my brother. Today he used it for the first time and is happy as can be. She told both of us to use them forever if it kept us from smoking.

Sometimes they just have to think about it.

I have to say it was somewhat the same for me. When I first started vaping, I stopped smoking immediately. My wife was shocked and surprised but supported me through what she thought was just going to be another one of my gadgets. My mum who has been after me to quit smoking since I started (19 years ago) was also not completely buying the fact that I was actually enjoying my eGo's more than analogs.

Now, 8 months later, I'm happy to say they are all on board, although my mum can't help asking if I'll ever quit vaping. Mum's eh, gotta love 'em!

Thank you. Ernie isn't a Bengal though. He was a little itty bitty kitten I found in a country cemetery 12 years ago. Although he looks so much like a Bengal he has fooled vets and breeders. So we always wonder if he doesn't have some bengal blood in him.

Tried to get my GF vaping. She did it for a day, tried all my methods but just didn't enjoy it.

Although I think she should have another go at it when my Go-Go arrives next week.

She is used to having something big in her mouth, know wut I'm sayin'

That's great to hear. I got a couple close friends who are thinking of changing their ways. I'm still working on them.

Sometimes it can be tough when your close family and friends just do not care to quit or do not have the courage to... These people make a pretty good challenge.

You sayin' I should quit visiting her while you're at work?


My peeps all laughed at my PV and now my friend, his wife, my mom, and my sister are all vaping. I also hooked them up with HV and ePuff.ca

Working on other relatives, gonna have an army of folks who owe me their lives mwahaha - though fielding questions is becoming a full time job...go google dammit!

Lol, she did mention some big jerk came by her office last week, I thought she meant a client not an ECF'er

I'm glad that our suppliers include business cards. They should have a bird-dog program though, I'd love to get discounts for referrals.
