Ran into a V4L customer today by accident

[leeshor]

Came out of a customer's office this morning and saw a 20 something using an E-Cig that looked very familiar, red battery with green LED and a tan colored carto. We struck up a conversation. Turned out to be PBC 36 V4L all the way.

He was as amazed to run into me as I was to run into him out f the blue.

Here's the strange part. He's not on any forum, never even visited the V4L site, not even once. Turns out his mother bought a starter kit for him and told him if it got him to quit cigarettes she would foot the bill for as long as he used an E-Cig. What a Mom! He said he's been at it since late last year so never even bothered to go to the WEB site. But he will, after I told him about a lot of stuff he didn't know about. I think he may be afraid to look a gift horse in the mouth.

Man, I wish I spotted some vapers around here. The only ones that I know are people I've turned on to them - including one of my most interesting and engaged therapy clients. She quit smoking a month ago, same day she got her kit, and now we put the "in-session" sign up, close the door, and do therapy whist vaping relaxedly together. Shocking, eh? Beam.

I had to cover my .... with serious disclaimers re recommending them or offering any medical advice, just sharing a personal experience, but she was determined to investigate. Yay. I wish I could do the same at hospice, but I'd be chastised. I sneak it by sort of dropping them on the floor as I put on my jacket, and 'reluctantly' explaining what they are and why I love 'em. "Well, OK, here's the card, but I'm not promoting these - just my thang."

(shhhh....)

She is delighted.

I have yet to bump into anyone vaping. I'm always the one approached. This is a great story to share leeshor.

So neat! I can't wait to run into another vaper randomly. So what did you tell him about that he didn't know? The usb pt? The tons of flavors? ECF?

 

[pianoguy]

Wow, that is quite the coincidence!

I did see one while I was out one night with friends..but by the time I could break free and get to him .poof! Gone. Oh well. At least I have met fellow Florida Vapor Club people in Orlando and Brandon. That was fun comparing devices and flavors.

Dang, leeshor - how cool!

Turns out his mother bought a starter kit for him and told him if it got him to quit cigarettes she would foot the bill for as long as he used an E-Cig. What a Mom!

You ain't kidding - I should've tried to work out a deal like that.

I wish I could do the same at hospice

Bless you aubergine for working in a hospice - it must be heartbreaking.

I mentioned some of the new batteries and flavors, (his eyes lit up when I mentioned watermelon), and the new premium cartos. I got the impression that he had been satisfied from the very first day with his mother's selection so he hadn't been all that interested in looking at other choices. I'm guessing that his mother was saving him so much money he didn't really care what she bought. Until now. But he loves his VK and one of his co-workers came out while we talked and indicated she was going to get on-board too.

Met my first social vaper the other night....was great, but still very odd!

Both stealth vaping in a bar....

Good times.

I haven't ran into any vapers in my area yet. I have about got my husband on board along with his boss and a few co workers. My husband and his boss both want tabacco flavored carts. So I will be ordering some soon. My husband has tried some of my flavored carts. He's taken my Cola one to work with him the past two days, but he still wants tabacco....lol Can anyone reccomend a good tobacco cart? He smokes Pall Mall full flavored cigs. I want to find something similar for him.
