Was filling the tank today at the gas station and a dude walks out staring at my Mod.. he was holding a carton of cigarettes in his hand. Came up to the window and asked what I was vaping.. I let him smell my tank and he said "smells peachy".

He said a friend was making his juice and he thought it was too strong.. so gave him some advice about going to the B&M and sampling the goods so he could find something he liked enough to make the switch.

I'm sure you all have stories too.. how much fun it is to educate a smoker a little bit more and point them in the right direction.

My point is that vapers have a common bond.. It's a great way to break the ice and open a conversation.

If I was single, I would walk around with starter e-cigs and offer women smoking to try it.
I think this would be the greatest "intro" known to single guys ever.

I also believe that smokers or vapers are the most friendly bunch of people I meet in general and you never know what friendships might develop turning people on or educating them.. Heck, you might even meet your match.

Great story, maybe I should vape in public more often but I mostly vape at home or outside the workplace. Should we start to stalk smokers and carry around little "101s for vaping" business cards? :p

Here's a nifty deal: 1 free Njoy King. Use the code TRYKING and it's free, +$2.50 S&H. I got mine a few months ago. Shipping took 2 weeks though as a side note.

Alright, order your free Njoys and convert the next smoker you see. Ready... GO!

I find that it's a great extension of the old cigarette buddies phenomenon - my experience has been that smokers are curious (especially about the MVP) and other vapers are more or less instant friends. Good stuff.

I also second the LOL re: the vape pickup. I see it as the future of the old *need a light?/nice zippo* technique.

From AgentAnia's Vaping Dictionary:

Vape Trolling: (coined by user Crash Moses, ECF) "Even if I can't vape I carry my PV in my hand hoping to snag a couple of unsuspecting fish (I call it vape trolling)."

I always carry "friend tips" with me so I can offer anyone interested a puff on my eGo...
