Definitely.
Ages ago my husband and I decided to quit smoking. He did and I didn't. He never said a word because I didn't. I certainly wouldn't try to talk someone into vaping. That would really get on my nerves.
I agree that it does seem to be more men vaping then women ( we need a poll, lol) But still my dh does seem to have made the connection that e-cig = for girls..His BIG complaint about them is that he can't hang it from his mouth while he works because of the weight . I don't see a way around the weight =(
I never could stand to just have one hanging from my lips.

me either!! But while he works around the property he often has a cig hanging - he's also missing part of his left arm so he's one handed , which I'm sure adds to the need for a hanger-on-er cig.
He has "tried" my PV's but he cant get past the weight and "girlishness". He also says it's the same as smoking and just "Trading one addiction for another" (mind you I vape 0-6mg of nic. only and mostly it's zero)
I don't bug him about it and have given up on trying to get him to like them (never really nagged about it ) Now if I could get passed the smell (Eeew) I love him but wish he'd quit ...Of course he says he wishes I would quit (I think I have and he disagrees) . So here we are .
anyway Thanks everyone for suggestions and ideas !!!! Luv this group!!
You could find him a lanyard to put his ecig in. I saw a website the other day that did made to orders. They had some with very 'manly' scenes, pheasant hunting, deers, and such. Can't remember the website, but I think she is a member of ECF and some others may have her website. Or you might even be able to find some leather premade lanyards by googling.
In our case my DH kept refusing to even try although I would push "just test this." Each day the smell of the analog would make me sick so I would back away when he came near me.
One day I was placing an order with Brent @Hoosierecig so I contacted him and asked if a person smokes PAD Marlboro Lights, what would you suggest, he suggested DeKang USA blend 18mg. When my order arrived I assembled a tank with the Dekang and put it on the little white ego T 650mAh and told him "here ya go, now you have no excuse." He picked it up, tried it and then put it back down...LOL I tried really hard to ignore him just to see if he would pick it up again, sure enough he did and a week later...he stopped the analogs. That was 3 weeks ago this past Monday. I'm so proud of him, he smoked analogs for about 45 yrs.
After his first full day on the little eGo T, I then purchased an eGo T 5 click shut off since he keeps it in his pocket and the battery will last all day. He's definitely the no mess-no fuss type of guy and if it doesn't work the first time, forget it.
Just keep at it but don't force him. Good luck!

I was in the same boat Corpa. My hubby was still smoking during my first 2 months of vaping. The smell was terrible but I never said a word about it to him. I knew that he had to make the decision for himself.
He has been smoke free for about 3 weeks now. He is having a few health probs right now and thinks it is the vape causing it but thankfully he has about made up his mind that it is just the tar breaking loose after 50 yrs of smoking. I make sure that he has flavors that he likes and keep cartos filled for him. For his part, he built us each a box mod. He is pretty handy. I think I will keep him.
To the op: All you can do is be patient. Either he will or he won't. Even though we know that it is a healthier alternative we can only lead them to it. If you try to force it I'm afraid it will just lead to hurt feelings.
I just realized that this thread started several months ago. How is it going now. Any change in his attitude toward vaping?

He must have quit around the same time my DH quit. You are a month ahead of me, my one month analog free is today...YAY! I've never been able to quit this long before.
At any rate, my DH was literally coughing up his lungs just before he switched to vaping. I think he was encouraged by my cough stopping almost immediately. Now he is going through what I did a few weeks ago, lots of throat phlegm which he is blaming on vaping. I have repeatedly tried to convince him he needs more water, could that be your DH's problem?
I am so thankful DH's energy level has increased, snoring gone, and most positive, he no longer is coughing. Even the guys at work have noticed a huge difference since he stopped the analogs. His improved health has managed to convert several co-workers.
And I like you, I have to make sure his tanks are filled daily but it's a small price to pay. At least he's now charging his own batteries...yep I have spoiled him rotten.
And I also didn't realize this is an old thread, it was in "Today's Posts."
My SO won't even touch the things. "There's not enough research on what's in them and what they do," he says. I told him, "So you'd rather have guaranteed tar and arsenic?"
*facepalm*
I've been smoke-free for almost 3 weeks now, and I definitely notice the smell on him. But oh well... maybe if I keep doing it around him, he'll cave one day and try it. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Just to give an alternate viewpoint.. In my case, I was the one who wouldn't quit analogs. My husband smoked his last analog on New Years Eve. He made it for 2 weeks, silently vaping away while I continued to smoke around him. I had no idea how he did it. He would hand me one mod after another, "try this one" with different juices, "this one is pretty good" and over and over again, I was NOT impressed. After those 2 weeks, he started slipping little snide comments in whenever I'd come in from outside, "enjoy those coffin nails?" It was obnoxious.. I was living with THAT ex-smoker! (and don't get me wrong, he's an amazing guy.. he really just thought he was being cute)
After he was analog-free for an entire month, I started asking a few questions here and there. Little did I know, he was on ECF badgering anyone he could find to give HIM tips to help me make the switch.
One Saturday afternoon, we were sitting in the bedroom talking and he was vaping. We were planning to go to a friend's house that night & he had his ICON (with his AVE Gorilla Juice) and his little eGo (with AVE Hype) all ready to go. I knew I didn't like the GJ, but I hadn't tried Hype. I asked a few more questions & then I decided I'd give it a go. I whole-heartedly expected to be smoking analogs that night. We got to our friends' house (also smokers) and they used their ecigs while we played some poker. I got up and went outside with them 2-3 times and then just decided that it didn't taste nearly as good as the Hype I'd left inside. I smoked my very last analog at 10:30 that night. Three days later, my friend ordered her eGo=t and she hasn't looked back either. We're still slowly encouraging her hubby now.
The bottom line... just keep doing what you're doing. Try to find some juice that you think he *might* like & keep it handy for him. But he won't do it because you want him to, he'll have to make the choice on his own.
I will say though... as the "smoker" living with the "ex-smoker" I did NOT feel real proud of myself. We had both smoked for around 16-17 years and I always vowed that if he was ever able to quit, I would NOT be that wife who tempted him with smoking again.
I sort of find that funny now... but now I understand HOW he was able to keep from lighting up again while I was still smoking. Vaping is just so much more enjoyable!
Good luck!

yeah i know exactly what you mean! my boyfriend talked me into trying the ecigs again when they failed me the first time around so i'm kinda on the other side of the spectrum here. has your husband tried an ecig yet?
Yeah I'm married to a smoker too but he's glad I quit.I don't bother him about it,it doesn't work anyway.

Nope - but thanks for asking !!
I have been vaping for close to a year and a half and he still has the Marlboro light hanging out of his mouth. He just doesn't "like" e-cigarette. It's not something I can help him past since he can't give a solid reason for his dislike. I happen to own Inferno's , a screw driver , a silver bullet and provari .(i may be forgetting someone??lol) I have so very many bottles of juice from tobaccos to cake's and candies. I own tanks , carto's , attys etc etc so if I don't already have something that he'll "Like" then it doesn't currently exist. I have lanyards , cases , bottles , syringes ...I give up. I love him with all my heart and wish he would put the coffin nails down but I'm not going to spend the time we do have fussing and nagging him. I hate the smell but he's a good man and we've been married a long time ...so , that's where it is.
I personally think many e-cigarettes are more macho then feminine ..but My husband doesn't see it the same way . Go figure?
p.s Love your Avi and Mel Brooks !!
