Hello all,
Purely out of interest and curiosity, this mostly revolves around what are peoples experiences have been like whilst switching to vaping from cigarettes, but also for those who have always vaped rather than smoked.
Those who started vaping without being smokers, what made you start ?
Those who switched to vaping, aside from the obvious health benefits, were there any other motives ?
How was the support from family & friends, work colleagues and social groups when switching to vaping from analogs ?
Where they understanding, helpful, considerate.. or has anyone had negative experiences ?
If at a pub/club/bar, have strangers/friends ever asked you annoying/interesting questions/statements about a PV you are using ? If so any amusing stories or comments about them ?
For myself..
I switched because I figured it was cheaper than rollups, the girlfriend hated it, and good lord i never realized how much the smell clings to EVERYTHING !
My family was great, work colleagues gave me a proper ribbing at first, but in a kind way. My social groups have been excellent at accepting the change, even if they thought it a bit odd to begin with.
I've had a few "What the f*^k is that ?" comments, but that's about the most negative I've had from strangers. Most will look rather puzzled for a while and then leave me to it.
The best comment i've had so far was from a very inebriated male who saw me smoking my PV, somehow made it over to me from the other side of the smoking area, with wide eyes in amazement and said "My god, how have you managed to bring the disco lights out from inside !?" And then promptly fell flat on his back, I've never laughed so hard from a single comment !
I'd be interested to hear other peoples !

So for me it was for financial as well as health reasons that I bought my first e-cig, nearly 5 & a half years ago. As you can imagine, I've not only seen a lot of changes to e-cigs in that time but also people knowing about them.
