The ripple effect

I met a fellow a couple months back and he was all happy pants about his ecig upon which I can tell you I was not immediately all that impressed. Yet a few days later I started investigating this ecig thing. Then I bought a kit (apollo extreme or something...ego batteries and stuff). Mostly because it has been a terrible cold and wet spring and I was tired of going outside to smoke....no intention on quitting what I now know would be 'analogs'. Interestingly enough I became an instant fan of vaping. So I vaped at work and a coworker said to me "what the h*** is that? One of those ecig things?" So I said "yes", and she replied "Does it work" and I said "yes". A few days later she asked a few more questions upon which I directed her attention to various websites that could explain this ecig thing far better than I could. And she wound up buying an ecig 'kit', then another coworker did the same thing, and then a coupla two or three friends did the same thing. So in two months time I have found myself 'analog' free, and at least five other individuals have purchased ecig kits in what I figure is what one could call a 'ripple effect' (whether they still smoke or not is their business for the most part, but at least two of the five have reported great success in not smoking anymore). I am not going anywere with this other than to say that ecigs and vaping have given me an option that allows me to be my bad old fidgety self without the stink and hassle of having to light up a ciggy. Amazing that I can smell soap, laundry detergent, good scents in general, as well as those 'bad' scents I never noticed (dog breath, rancid grease, etc etc). Amazing that people who love me don't crinkle their noses in my presence (heck I felt like one of the last of the mohicans - virtually no one close to me smokes). vaping is a game changer...now lets hope the government doesn't do what it usually does and mess a good thing up!

So true, the ripple effect you talk about. I've given away a lot of gear over the last few months as I've upgraded and caused about half a dozen to quit, and another half dozen to try to quit. For those who were serious about quitting, they all made it. The ones who weren't but loved the gear, well they're on their way, let's say. Welcome to the Forum, congrats on your two months and on getting here, good luck to you and Vape On!
