Ahhh, Door Number 3: Everything all swirled together. SOME of her points have validity.

Make an effort to scale it all back for a while.... Find a high shelf or cabinet, and put everything away, except bare necessities - maybe use just a twist/spinner and cartos for a while. The big mods and shiny tanks are kind of conspicuous - go for the "out of sight, out of mind" thing. Except for juice, don't buy anything new for a while. Surf ECF/vape sites after Levi is asleep for a while.

EDIT: I see that I'm taking the opposite tack as somejerk, who has great points, but it may be easier to make those points to Levi's mom, after she sees some changes based on her concerns.

yes, of course some of her points do have validity and do need to be addressed, but others I think I would have been offended by had I been in the same situation... My boyfriend used to hound me about smoking and I would tell him, what did you expect?? when we met I smoked, did you just expect me to quit?
With that being said I'm sure that levisdaddy will have to have a talk to her about vaping because it seems as if she just straight up doesn't like it and is making as many excuses as she can to try and make it look worse than it is.
As long as she dislikes it they're probably going to have problems and thus it'll need to be worked out eventually (hopefully in a time when they are both level-headed)
I really hope she can understand, as understanding (in my opinion) is one of the building blocks to an amazing relationship.
Just got the baby down so I have some time to relax before my boyfriend comes home from work :)
and yeah tiggerrts I'm the girl :laugh:

How about the alternative of always smelling like smoke around your son and fiancé? Spending MUCH more on cigarettes than on Ecigs?
the poison and time away from Levi is the same both ways. As a matter of fact, a child is MORE likely to find a cigarette .... and chew on it than to open a bottle of ejuice.
I think the number of years that you've added to your young life make it all worthwhile. :)

I hope you wore pants to lunch, OR, convinced them to take their pants off so you all matched.





(not nice...) :)


She articulated a few negative points:
waste of money,
bottles of poison in the house that has an infant,
taking up counter/drawer/cabinet space,
addicted to nicotine,
waste of time, stating i spend at least an hour+ a day playing with, reading about and researching vape related materials,
not productive,
takes time away from Levi,
this is just to name a few. I said these are subjective points, though some 'may' be accurate...

Good advise from everyone. :) That's what I like about this group.
Pork tenderloin in crockpot for hours and hours with BBQ rub on it.
Kale and onions to acompany it and ??? Asparagus that needs to be cooked with a Vidalia onion vinegrette. If they want a starch they can have potato chips.
How is wifey doing? Better I hope.

3- Issue with that is you really should not be shipping these things, the issue is fires due to shoddy and cheap lipo batteries in them.

They dont realize what they are asking people to do.. Knowingly putting these things in the mail to return and what the potential hazard is. If SmokeTech is asking for these things to be returned to vendor they need to wake up, the vendors need to stand up. someone better get smart before its too late.

I can handle some vape related compromise. really, it would be helpful if i organized everything a bit better. i use a two tier tackle box that is overflowing, and a cardboard box that is overflowing even more..
I need a big tool box like Uncle has, up on a shelf away from the little mans reach. That, and i need to be more discrete about my vape mail. I show it off like a kid on xmas morning, and wifey must get a little annoyed by that. She doesnt get many presents in the mail, but i did just surprise her and get her a new nice teapot! I made her open the box, after some reluctance due to her expectations for it to be full of vape stuffs. She was pleasantly surprised.
