So I and my mini me are out running arrands and Im vaping while driving and all of a sudden I see the disco lights behind me. I pull over not worried because I have insurance my mini me is in her car sit and tags and window sticker is all in order and I didnt run any lights, so what did I do??? So I get all my things license and registation together and he comes up and ask me what am I smoking on?? I said huh?? and he said what is that looking at my kgo sitting in my lap. :blink:So I say oh its my ecig this is a kgo with a clearomizer and it has ejuice in it, its helping me to stay off cigarettes. He was totally amazed by it he asked if I would use it and I did and he was in shock it seemed( lol). I told him since Ive been using it I havent had a cigarette in a month and how I feel so much better, the officer said he has been trying to stop smokng so I gave him all the info I could I even wrote the name of this forum down and where I got my Kgo tried to tell him about all the cool stuff but being new it was kinda hard. So even though he scared the heebeejeebees out of me I was glad I could help.:blush:

Awesome story! Isn't such a great feeling when you get a chance to share with a smoker how vaping has helped you? It's made such a difference in my life already that I want every smoker I meet to experience it as well. My wife's best friend and her husband have just started. We set them up with enough to get by for a few days and they are coming over Fri night for a Vape Party where we can help them pick out their juice and hardware. They are off to a good start, 3 days without cigs.

By your tag you say Chicago.
Was this in the city or an outlying area?

I hope he does follow through and spread the word to his fellow oficers. Vaping can spread like wildfire. I was at the car dealership vaping outside when the salesman came up to me with his eGo and stardust. 7 people in that dealership have started vaping. I think we talked more about vaping than cars :D

That's a really cool story. Maybe we will see him on here soon? Haha.

Every time someone asks me about vaping, or wants info, its like my mind goes blank and I sound like an idiot. I really need to rehearse something to tell them, including this website. LOL. I hate talking to people, I have horrible social anxiety. I feel like all of the info just flies out of my head as soon as someone says "Hey, what is that?". I have yet to convert anyone.

I have pretty bad anxiety problems. So much that I rarely leave the house. I do answer on the rare occasion that I'm out and someone asks me about my e-cig. They'll usually ask something along the lines of "Do you mind if I ask you what that is?". I say "It's an electronic cigarette" and the usually response is "Oh yeah, I've heard of those". At that point I say "What would you like to know?". The rest is answering basic questions. The people I've talked to that way have been strangers, so I don't know if I made a convert or not. Several of them have written things down, so hopefully I helped them along.

Very cool. I don't leave the house much, myself. I have been asked by friends mostly, and even when I am trying to defend myself (They pull the usual "thats worse for you than smoking cigs! It causes pneumonia!" LMAO) I stumble on words and sound like an idiot. Oh well, to each their own, and I'm done trying to give myself cancer.

Great story, I just ordered the ecf cards on there store link,it was free only paid shipping, I pass them out, when i have others that want to know more, even to others that just tend to ask a million questions, I just pull out a card and say, here you go, you can go to this site, and learn more about ecigs. then the convo. ends, with usually thank you, no more explaining everything, just the basic then a ecf card, thank you ecf for the cards :)
