need help with wife

[rege]

i smoked for 18 years ive been vaping for 27 days my wife still smokes now that i quit i cant stand the smell of them its horrible Ive tried to get her to try my ecigs several times she says it burns her throat and is harsh is she hitting it wrong? im not sure what to do but i could use some help

 

[Rosa]

Did she sample all of your e-cigs or just the one you are using now? Did all of them hurt her throat?

 

[rege]

yea i tried to give her newport witch is her brand and ive tried fried apple cotton candy marl and creamsoda

Try a milder flavor juice and show her how to drag slow. Nearly choked when I took my first long hard draw.

 

[Hoosier]

What strength?

 

[rege]

nuport 24 fried apple 18 creamsoda 8 and cotton candy 0

 

[Willriker]

lower the PG value for less throat hit? What % PG are you using?

Perhaps, too much nicotine?

Perhaps the cart was over filled and she got a mouth full of ejuice?

 

[WomanOfHeart]

Is there a lot of PG in those juices? I was also thinking that maybe she's drawing too hard on it. Have her try sipping. If she's trying to suck on it like a thick milkshake through a straw, that might be part of the problem.

 

[Hoosier]

Burning with 0mg Cotton Candy?

Wow!

Maybe there is something more subtle than juice at work here?

 

[rege]

she may just be nuts

My wife also doesn't really like them and is still smoking. which makes it harder on me since they always seem to be around. I have noticed with alot of smokers that they hit it like a cig and choke right up tho.

 

[WomanOfHeart]

We got one of our friends to try it out the other night. Should've warned him not to hit the eGo like a regular cig. He took the biggest draw, followed by a strong inhale and immediately went into a coughing fit. Once he got done, he said "Damn, that was tasty!" The cart was filled with our mix of banana and dark vapure from VB.

 

[tybin]

what kind of atty are you using?

 

[elyn]

she may just be nuts

She may just not want to quit. ;-)

 

[rege]

[rege]

She may just not want to quit. ;-)

i dont think she understands how to hit it she tried to smoke it like a joint

 

[OldDragon]

Go at like this, -you don't have to quite, just try it every once and a while - and apply all the above with low nic and a good flavor. You didn't say, but maybe she needs her own small e-cig, it you are using a big e-cig, it maybe too big for her to start with.

 

[Luvs5rugrats]

well, all I can say is keep trying different juices with her until she says, "Yummmmmm." Also, if you can get her to give it a chance with a cart's worth, maybe it'll be easier on her. There's just no way you're going to convince someone with just one drag, especially when they're not excited about it to begin with. If she's simply not ready to quit, she's not going to.

My husband was bought with $$ dollar signs (as in how much we'd save by vaping) not for health reasons or anything else, so if she's frugal, try that angle. lol He still smokes a few a day but not in the house anymore.

 

[rege]

i just made her hit it with a cart instead of a drip tip she said it didn't hurt her throat this time. but she still says they all taste like alcohol

 

[WomanOfHeart]

Sounds like she's still a bit resistant to the idea of quitting. She doesn't have to quit, but it's good that she knows there's an alternative. Her taste buds are still all screwy from smoking, too. Don't push her. She might come around when she gets a taste of something she really likes. Then again, she might not.

Side note: She might also still be in the mind set that switching to vaping isn't going to work because nothing else has worked. This was kind of my attitude and I ended up being an "accidental quitter."
