I just returned from week long visit with my sis (set her up with a starter kit last year-she likes smoking-period). She smokes (outside) But I was kind of stressing over what to take with me for such a long trip. As she watched me unpack pretty much every piece of vape gear and bottles of eliq, I could see her thinking "My baby sister has a problem" lol ! Took more vape gear then clothes. But being in the pool most of the day, every day, who needs a bunch of clothes. Now about being around a smoker for a whole week; sitting across from pool from her, her exhales would come my way at times. I was thinking, "It really smells good" I wasn't really tempted, I was just glad it didn't smell bad and cause a rift. But as I walked by where she sits by the ashtray: OMG!!! It stinks to high heaven. So even if I had been tempted to light up, the smell of that ashtray crushed that thought real quick! I vaped at both Houston airport and Phoenix, in hiding in stealth mode. Bath room stalls, or just taking short quick puffs away from groups of people. My sis was kind enough to not smoke in the car while we were in it together, I really appreciated that. Went to a casino, it seemed like every single person had a cig in there mouth, hand. Didn't see a single smart one (vapor) among them. It's only 2+ hour flight, so no major nic fits. I did have some nic gum I chewed a little bit of the time in flight.

Next month is my one year vaporverssary (probly didn't spell that right) First few months went by kind of slow, now time is flying by.

Don't feel bad! At least you tried.

I have 3 siblings of which only one has showed even a mild interest in vaping. I don't get it, but then I have been doing this for 8 years. If I was into Tobacco flavors or even had a decent cig-a-lite kit, maybe I would have been more successful.

I may just purchase one and next time I go to visit give it another try.
