SO FRUSTRATED I WANT TO SCREAM! (converting a friend to vaping)

[venkman]

Well the site did say that there is a 30 day money back guarantee. I read a few reviews and it sounds like it's a cheap model that was rebranded. Poor battery life expensive carto's that don't last long and everyone has the same problem with shipping times. So if she is going to re-order carto's make sure she orders with three weeks in mind.

this is very true. before my friend gave up on vaping, i tossed him a few cartos while he was waiting on an order.

You know some folks just gotta do it their own way, even it's uphill both ways, through hell and high water. (knows absolutely nothing about that one)

It's a human nature thing You are probably too close to the situation to see why she ordered a different ecig than the one you quit with.

I have a friend who is trying out vaping who is hiding it from everyone because she doesn't want to build up her friend's and family's expectations of her quitting. I'm the only one who knows she's vaping right now. She doesn't want to deal with disappointment and pressure if she fails at quitting. Because I know how sensitive she is about it, I'm very careful that she doesn't feel pressure from me, only support.

She has a reason why she went with something other than what you use that makes perfect sense to her, if not to you. People are funny about their addictions. Perhaps she needs a feeling of control over quitting that she feels she isn't possible if she chooses the same model as you?

LOL we need a support group for people who give support to new vapers.

awesome analysis. i am a natural born contrarian, i don't want what everybody else has. it doesn't matter to me how good something like an eGo is, i'll never own one because everybody else has one. i need my own "niche". i've always been that way, i like what everyone hates and hate what everyone likes. i don't want to feel like a follower.

it is not Janty.she ordered from the company V2

The V2 I saw looked like a KR808, there is also a Janty Stick V2, no way to guess which one she ordered, LOL. If the first V2 is an 808, she should be okay with it as a starter. I can't really comment on the Janty Stick V2, I've never tried one.

UPDATE! Sure enough, within several days of vaping her V2 she says she is gonna get sick of only 6 flavors to choose from and i am sure she is worried about placing further orders for refills/parts cuz it took a month to get her starter kit, she calls me to ask me for websites to buy an eGO and for ejuices. I didn't give them to her-cuz I decided to surprise her. I drove to my local supplier, Breezesmokes today, and got her a bunch of ejuices (my favorite cinnamon pear, gummy bear, pina colada, apple pie, blueberry muffin, coffee, cappucino, banana mango) and am giving her an extra ecig starter kit (VGO) and also adding some ejuices i have in my stash at home-honeydew melon, bananas foster, cinnamon fireball).....and i am going to give them all to her on Christmas since she invited me over to her house for Christmas dinner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOHOO! She is going to be so surprised and amazed at how great vaping can be with all those delicious flavors (i picked flavors i know she likes). And if she sees how much better a heavy duty ecig can be, that you can refill with your own choice of ejuices, she can go ahead and order an eGo or Riva someday. It was so hard to keep myself from saying "i told you so"................

thats awesome...BUT....that V2 is an 808 model, she could have bought juices, cartos, etc from everyone under the sun for it, she's not beholden to V2. even if she strictly wanted to do prefilled, V4L has a pretty expansive selection.

i support that you're helping your friend totally, don't get me wrong. but i feel like she could have been given more information in order to make the most of what she's already got.

i had told her she could order cartomizers from V4L that would be compatible with her ecig...so she does know that. but she for some reason now wants to vape an ecig similiar to mine (eGo)...

Well, it all worked out in the end, for everyone.
Most everyone has 2-3-4-5 ?? units anyway.
At least now she has her collection started.

 

[JustMeAgain]

Texas, you are a good friend. Not only are you setting her up to succeed, you allowed her to learn without an "I told you so"...
to you!

I feel the pain here.. My first PV/Juice order was a disaster, ended up taking a month.. the day I went to cancel my order I got a shipping notification.

i could not agree more !

we all want to be included,somewhere

and also shine in our individual identitys.

this could be the reason alone w/ this issue?

also, the diverse magnitude of the hardware
alone , is quite an undertaking to anybody!

my 2cts.....

happy holidays y'all !
