Of the Fourth Kind

[Diggnthis]

Hoi all
Being still new to the Vapor world and diggn it, and eager to spread the word to friends, family, and love ones. I've came across some down right wierd encounters with people about the e-cig. This has happened twice so far and I would like to hear, if it has happened to you.
I have found to be Four types of encounters you can have with people, who have never seen or heard of the e cig.

People of the First kind: Ask about it, hear about it, try it, love it, and go.

People of the Second kind: Ask about it, hear about it, try it, like it, do about 8hrs of research, then buy, and go.

People of the Third kind: Ask about it, hear about half of what you got to say, get's up and leaves.

People of the Fourth kind: See it, turn around and runs.

This has truly happend to me twice now and my first encounter with this type of people, was a good friend of mine. It was like , he was a vampire and I had some holy water in my hand. I walked in to his house, said "yo man, I have'nt had a real smoke in days, due to this." Whiped out my trusty T-Rex and took a big pull off it, blew it out, held it out for him to see and said said "You got to try this" He slouched deeper in to the corner of the couch, then got up and said "Get that thing away from me. I ain't try'n that "
Has this ever happened to any of you?

Yes.

The latter happens to be a close friend of mine. Now she listens to every bad media thing out there.
It's getting harder for her all the time though because I haven't died yet and I think the flavors are tempting her.

the "fourthers," are you sure they don't think it's an illegal substance?

Excellent title, and how true.
But what else can you do? Unless you'll come across as one of those crazy
ex-smoker types...

Honestly...that was a little aggressive.

Personally, going into someone else's house, I would ask for permission and explain a little first before vaping.

We should probably just do our vaping casually, and let them come to us asking questions, rather than taking it to them and exclaiming it.

I have found that not mentioning my PV at all, while using it, generates more interest than waving it around lol
I was in MY house last week, and my SIl came over and was talking to me and I was using my eGo (but not mentioning it jsut using it normally) and she said eventually 'Ok I have GOT to ask, what IS that thing - it smells lovely'
So I gave her a quick demo, changed carts, re-dripped and let her try it (she's a big time smoker btw). She was very impresed that she could 'feel something' in her chest (as in TH) and thought the flavor was wonderful (TV pina colada lol). She had ac ouple more pulls, blowing out a plume of vapor and looking impressed.
I gave her some cards, cignot and TV I think, one with ECF info on it, gave her the quick speech about start up costs and better breathing and then said no more on the subject
