No way are you nuts! For one, vaping tastes way better, and you don't go around smelling like an ashtray anymore. You can also do it inside (work permitting, of course), and you can do it all day long without stopping.

After 3.5 weeks of vaping and no analogs, I tried one puff off of a friend's on Friday night and it tasted horrible. I had to vape a lot to get the taste out of my mouth. But they were all intrigued with my eGo-T and the girlfriend's PigCig and asked a lot of questions. I let them try it and they were all impressed. One guy had previously tried a mall e-cig and threw it away because it sucked, but maybe now he'll try again with good equipment.

Welcome to the nut case central, I mean ECF. :laugh:
Guess you'll just have to outlive them, and show 'em they were nuts.

They can write that in my obit:

Rosa, aged 108 years, once a long time smoker she'd went nuts at 38 at began vaping. A mere 70 years later, she has passed from unrelated illness.

I caught a lot of crap from my smoking crew at work when I first started vaping, too. I thought they'd be as interested in it as I was when I found out about it, but rather they thought it was ridiculous! I got the whole "it looks like you're smoking a crackpipe" (my eGo), and "it's just a fad", to "but how do you KNOW it's safer than smoking? NO THANKS!", etc

Interestingly though, a couple of them DID end up buying starter kits, and are happily vaping away with me! Everyone else still thinks we're nuts. :rolleyes: Oh well, to each their own.

..."but how do you KNOW it's safer than smoking?...

I love this one especially! It always makes me laugh. I think playing hopscotch on the freeway in L.A. with a loaded gun is safer than smoking. Jumping out of an airplane holding two umbrellas may even by safer than smoking, I'd have to see the stats, but it would have to be damn close.

I know! It's like, "well, then lets just stick with what's been PROVEN to kill us then, shall we? Smoke 'em if ya got 'em." LOL

You should let a few of them give it a try, load up a good juice for them and let them hit on one of your units for a few hours and see what happens then, once one of them tries it and likes it you will have an office full of vapers, that would be cool...!!!!

i was just at my friends house for a superbowl party with my wife and i let my friend and her boyfriend both try it and they loved the flavor, just cherry that came with my inferno kit. they both liked it i wish i had something to let them borrow. as far as the coworkers... i don't know i work in a shop and some of these dudes can be pretty ignorant. but as someone else said to each their own.

I'd rather be certifiably nuts than smoke cigarettes. There will always be people who have to deal with anything new or different by giggling and poking fun at it. But, people like that usually don't go down in history as the most innovative thinkers...

Maybe it would be fun to wait a year or so, then challenge one of them to a couple of running laps around the block...see who makes it without collapsing, and then see who's nuts!
