OK,

I live on a small island, we're a tight-knit community, even if you leave, your still a part of the family. So I have a friend from many years ago, who moved away, got married, had kids, all that stuff, I see him about twice a year. Well, sometime last year he sent me PM on facebook, interested in ecigs, saw something at the gas station, or some free-be internet special, and in response I unloaded on him:

"Please, please, please do not buy that stupid piece of crap, it will not work and you will not succeed, just go check out this forum (ECF), get educated, and you will have a much better chance of quitting analogs"....or something like that....

So it's been almost a year, and I saw him tonight at a community event our local bar does, and he breaks out his V4L 808 kit, says it rocks, shows it to me, and I'm impressed. Says he hasn't smoked since last January. For the first time ever (with a real human, not on the interwebs) , we get to sit there and chat about vaping, and I tell him I'm really happy he found a good vendor he likes.

We go on and on, and of course, the smokers scorn us...lol, but he confides to me that he dropped the ball on liquid, and is begrudgingly vaping some flavor he hates from his very first purchase until his new order arrives, because he refuses to buy analogs. It just so happens I have an extra 5 ml of my own RY4/ultamint mix on hand, he likes it, and I get an opportunity to help a brother out:) He should be set for at least 2-3 days, until his new stuff arrives...and I am just so freaking happy. I have tried to help a lot of people, but most of them just can't deal with the hassle of ecigs.

But my bud Freddy, he's done it!

Great story. Cool too that Freddy has been content with his KR808s for almost a year. Did you find out if he is a member here?

Congrats to both of you.

He didn't say if he was a member, so I don't know, but I do know that V4L has a lot of fans here, so I figured he was in good hands.

I started with an eGo and love it, and now also have a roughstack and jazz cartopipe, but was really impressed with his 808.

His "last ditch" flavor was grape...he says to me..."who the he11 wants to smoke grape?"...lol

That's fantastic that you had some juice you made and could give him a bottle to tie him over. Glad that he asked you about them first and didn't make a big mistake like so many of us had done. Kudos to you and your friend.

I can't even take much credit for this, we PM'd back and forth for a few days, and that was it. He really did it all on his own, it's so nice to know that not every smoker I try to help is too lazy to dig in their heels and say "I'm done".

Love this.....I am so happy when someone comes up to me and asks me what I am smoking. I give such a long detailed enthusiastic description, that I am sure some of them are sorry they asked. But I have a couple of friends who have given up tobacco cigarettes with my direction and help. I am so proud of myself as I am sure you are also. Great job, my fellow vaper!!
