Today is my one year anniversary as a non-smoker. I smoked for 55 years and when I started vaping I was smoking a carton of cigarettes each and every week. As you can see below I have avoided 11,000 or so cigarettes in the past 365 days.
Imagine starting a New Year sitting behind a table with 11,000 cigarettes in front of you knowing that you will smoke each and every one. It sounds like mission impossible but that in effect is what I did each year and millions of folks still face that daunting task this week.
I would like to challenge the V4L staff to take a look at the first page of your site. But look through the eyes of someone brand new to vaping. Perhaps through the eyes of someone who has received one of your business cards. How can you make it easier for a newbie to make the choices that a new vaper must make.
Automatic vs manual: should there be an explanation of the difference?
What nicotine level should I start with?
VG or PG (I don't see a reference to PG)?
Y'all can add your own questions.
Perhaps the page could have a box saying something like "New to vaping? Start here."
I have given out all of the cards that V4L have sent me and I wonder just how effective that is when there is no "starting point for new people."
Random thoughts:
Three things have to happen for the conversion to vaping to be successful.
1. You must find/stumble on the right equipment.
2. You must find the right nicotine level for you.
3. You must find the right flavor for you.
With all of the choices available the above is not easy.
A number of people that express an interest are not ready to put forth the effort that is required to make the conversion.
A number of people think that someone who vapes is just trading one addiction for another and no amount of explanation will change their minds.
I just love the ones who chastise me for not having the strength/will to just go "cold turkey" as they did.
Enough of my ranting.....let me hear if you have anything to add.
I want to finish by thanking V4L and their staff for helping to make this last year and all of my future years "Smoke Free."

I divided by 10 across the board instead of my hundred to get from cm to m and again up the board. I'd have been less embarassed if I'd just pasted "1,100,00mm to km" into google.
