Well i caught my 19yr old smoking today. Said she didn't want to tell me because she knew i would be disappointed. All of her friends smoke so guess i should have seen it coming. Needless to say i am worried and upset as we all know the trap she is walking into. Apparently she just started so i think i have time to turn this around before she gets in too deep like the rest of us have. I immediately started preaching to her the dangers of smoking, which i thought she already knew from me smoking, but just in case i went back down the list. I then started the vaping sermon. She said she didn't think she would like vaping and it wouldn't be the same. I invited her to try my provari, which is flavored lightly with trebeca, and prayed she liked the flavor. She did and kept vaping on it. I was surprised but she said she thought she would like it and how to go about setting her up with something because she didn't want to end up a smoker but the nicotine made her feel calmer and more relaxed and why she was smoking. She agreed to go to a vape shop in the next day or so and check it out.
Any suggestions or thoughts are welcome. I am alittle uneasy because when i was new at this and went to a vape shop they set me up with a unregulated mod, which i didn't know what that was at the time and really still don't now, but i learned real fast it wasn't for me. It burned my throat and lungs so bad i was in pain for a couple days over it. It was just so hot!! it almost scared me from vaping the experience was so bad. So i know to make sure she doesn't get one of those, but other then that, i don't know much. I don't want to get her a cheapo ego either, i want her vape experience to a be a good one so she will stick with it. She needs something easy like my provari which requires nothing more then reloading a battery and filling your tank, coils premade. I want something new not something used and they don't make provari's anymore. Any suggestions of what i might be looking for and what to stay away from. I am prepared to drop a couple hundred on a nice setup because i will do anything i can to make sure she will have a good experience and stay off of the cigs. A couple things i noticed when she vaped on my provari was she liked the clouds, the flavor, and the nicotine. She did say she preferred a more fruity flavor though. I consider this a positive sign that vaping will work out well for her I just got to get this right first time around or she will just go back to smoking.
I made it clear to her that if vaping did not work out, be prepared for my rules. No smoking in the house, no smoking around me, and never ask me to buy you a pack of cigs. That if she wasn't going to listen to me about how bad a mistake this is, be prepared to suffer the consequences, and there will be consequences that will come at the expense of her health.
