I really want to give a starter kit to my brother and my dad for Christmas. My brother has been openly smoking cloves for a few years, so I was hoping to bring him on V4L with the clove flavor. My dad has been a closet smoker for years, but I think it'd be nice if I could get him on the bandwagon too. I just don't want to offend him or my brother. Smoking isn't something we talk about in the family. My mom just recently found out I use to smoke. So my questions are as follows: does anyone know how Wowclove tastes? Is it a good idea to get a kit for my brother? For my dad? Why or why not? Do you think it will be awkward or uncomfortable?

Yesterday I ordered an early christmas gift for my mom. I liked smoking a LOT, but was tired of all the quitting blah blah & my mom DOESN'T want to hear it either (mom already has terminal cancer anyway). I just thought it would be nice if she can try the tasty flavors and use it when she can't smoke. She likes that last part since she sometimes goes to daily chemo and/or radiation treatments. I'll just have to see what happens next.

I don't know what the Wow Cloves tastes like but I think the starter kits for Christmas is a terrific idea. I ordered two during the Pilgrim special for two of my grown children. I ordered some little 3 ml bottles off the net and gonna fill them with samples of all the juices I have along with some blank carts. I figure if V4L can help me quit after 42 years, surely my kids can...but I'm gonna give em a little nudge with supplies so they don't have excuses. ;)

I find that if I inhale it slowly, I can get DECENT vapor. But overall, it's not fantastic. It DOES taste like my old djarum blacks, though, so for me, I'm willing to compromise vapor for flavor. I have the 11mg. I also have coffee and red energy...still waiting for the mail to come with some more carts...and out of those three, coffee gives me the most vapor. Hope that helps!

If they dont like it, they are crazy lol. First time I tried it I said, "why the hell would I ever smoke again when I can have these!?".

I think they will love it. Plus your bro will like the carts as they crackle like cloves do lol. I'de say go for the starter kits. Maybe give em a few other flavors out of your own stash to get them tasting!

My intent is to give kits to smokers just to fill in when they can't smoke.
:smokie:
Mom got her Christmas kit just before Thanksgiving weekend (thank you 11th Pilgrim). She got a Premium Coffee shop Sampler, WOW Black Licorice and Wowboy cartos in her Ultimate Ultimatum Manual Kit (she got to pick out all the colors) and then I told her why I had switched to manual batteries. She spends about as much time at doctors & chemo as home. Everything arrived as expected, but she didn't want to "fool with it during the holidays" and then picked it up anyway. She didn't know what to do with it so I sent her an email with some links to YouTube videos. That made her feel much better. {Thanks especially to Nilius17 who did the V4L kit starter guide YouTube - A Vapor4Life Quick Start Guide and the using the PCC guide YouTube - Vapor4Life PCC Bornagainst YouTube - So, Ya Wanna Be A Vaper4Life? Ryguy YouTube - Vapor King Manual and Auto Batteries the young man who did the video on how vaping is different from smoking was a huge help.} She couldn't resist it and just loved the black licorice (one of her favorite things) - was amazed by the flavor. I politely pestered her until she tried the Wowboy and she loves that even more than licorice; "Can't believe how it tastes just like my cigarettes". A week later and now she's finding reasons to vape instead of smoke. I'll soon be sending her some more flavors and perhaps some Wowboy juice.
:laugh:
Couldn't get her a kit without getting sister a kit too; not yet 50 and COPD due to 3-5 packs-a-day. This past Monday she got the Ultimate Ultimatum Kit with automatic batteries (no way is she going to fool with the buttons or choosing colors) since she travels so much. She got a WOW Tobacco Shop Sampler, WOW Cocktail Hour Sampler, WOW Coffee Shop Sampler, and one of every flavor carto I have. Apparently she was so thrilled with it that she had her personal assistant overnight me a nice gift. She will fly out to see Mom soon and they will share what they have learned; the party is already planned. :toast: I also sent the videos links to her. She loved the Sour Green Apple cartos I had a few weeks ago. She swears they are made of the Jolly Rancher candies she loves.
:)
Tonight my husband informed me that my brother-in-law has requested a kit. He's in a VA nursing home and has lost 4 cell phones this year so this should be interesting. Since he became a double-amputee a few months ago, he just sits alone in the smoking area puffing one cig after another & never had any desire to quit. Go figure. Hope to go see him this weekend and take him my old autos and/or the king-sized manual I won last month.
:D
In the meantime several people have made a trip out of their way just to pick up a V4L business card & talk to me about getting a kit for their friend or relative for Christmas. They all have access to cell phones & email, but wanted to talk to me face-to-face about this. Wow.
:blush:
I did spend an afternoon at an upscale detox visiting a friend. The facility made an exception to allow me to bring supplies to my friend in the smoking area. They need medication in their rooms, but can't smoke there. I was only supposed to be there 30 to 60 minutes, but they never threw me out in 2.5 hours. The staff too was facinated with my "goodies" and flavors. Some people had their other branded ecigs, but wanted mine. I wouldn't take any money and lost custody of a couple of items. Apparently after my departure a few people left the scheduled meetings to order products. Thankfully V4L usually sends business cards. I'm running out of "goodies".
:oops:
Thinking of a Christmas gift? Works for me!
:thumbs:
Thanks V4L for giving me back my life, for the great products and super Customer Service.
:vapor:
Looks like I need to become a distributor!
:facepalm:
