Yeah, you're right, it is a drug use reference too, isn't it? I forgot all about that.

Kay, ....how bout' Draping?..................i'm just going out for a Drape'...
I usually just say something like "taking a pull" or "taking a drag." I used it while smoking, it sort of carried over, and doesn't make people think I just farted. LOL!
Another peeve: completely refilling a tank and THEN realizing your cartomizer crapped out. My cartomizer spent the day flooding the battery I was using. I am pretty lucky the battery still works, but when I got home from work I ripped that cartomizer out and spiked it in the trash can.
ROTFL!!!!!!!!!!!............ you know that has a whole other meaning in the UK
So, to say "taking a pull on a ..." would mean something more on which continent?
taking a pull'..... is a uk expression for....well you know...'..i aint sayin it'...i never said the f' word...
No website that does that is worth shopping at. If their web designer is that idiotic, there is no possibility that your passwords and credit card information are stored securely.
They may well be annoying, but I would not go as far as you did and try to scare people away from shopping there. Security ,sessions, and payment processing are totally different animals and the latter is virtually never handled in house on these small sites.
I use puff "I'll be back, going to take a quick puff"
My biggest pet peeves are: The fact that my manager showed interest when I first got my kit but after trying my Banana Moon Pie decided that she didn't like it and wouldn't ever give up smoking because the flavor was wrong.
Dropping my Twist all the time (I really need a layard LOL)
Having to clean a stardust everytime I want a new flavor (I'm waiting on an atty)
and USPS

That's bad enough, but the worst is when I ask "why won't you at least try it"? Typical answer; "Because I don't want to".
"But why don't you want to"?
"Because I don't".
"But why don't you?"
"Because I don't".
"Well we've established that you don't want to, but I'm just wondering why not".
"Because I don't want to".

That's my wife right there. I can talk about its benefits until I'm blue in the face and I still get the same "I just don't want to" answer. I don't know what else to do, but I quit smoking 4 months ago and moved on. I want her to experience the joy of quitting smoking too. I have a history of trying "new things" and not sticking with them (not nicotine related). So that could be the barrier.
2 pet peeves:
My husband never grumbled about spending $100 dollars a week for cigs when we both smoked. Now I catch him with two week old, EMDCC's that are almost black, and have masking tape to cover cracks. YUCK. It costs less than $3 for a Carto, toss it already.
I think because we are saving so much money not smoking, that I should be able to buy everything that catches my imagination to do with vaping. He disagrees, so I don't have anyone to show off all my stuff too.

Thats funny...I find i order juices that make my dcc in my tank last a week or even two....instead of some juices that make them last literally hours...there are some juices that i can taste the staleness in hours, and some last 2 weeks max....i dont think he's doing it to save money,i think there's a stubborn, game aspect to it'...see how long it can last '...lol

I think we should cut people some slack! I've always been a fat girl, with skinny periods here and there through my life. when a friend would lose weight and try to "help" me it just made me eat more (!) I didn't and still don't want things forced on me, including other people's opinions. sometimes if you leave people alone they will come to it (whatever the "it" of the moment is) on their own. I think patience and understanding go farther sometimes
must be true, look at you now',....you eat like a little bird'.....
ar ar ....
anyway, there is truth to that, the ones that are interested always ask me about them, and want to know more..the ones that dont, walk away....

Respectfully and gently - I think there's an important point that is being missed here.
I don't think it's entirely "subjective" of me to say that vaping is inherently more enjoyable than smoking. I'm fond of saying that neither do I think it's entirely "subjective" of me to say that I prefer getting hit on the hit with a small hammer as opposed to being hit on the head with a large hammer. I think that the latter "subjective" opinion is relatively universal, with the possible exception of people who are intent on harming themselves. I am also fond of saying that this latter group is just about the only one that vaping cannot help.
One of my few friends who still smokes, and who tellingly (IMO) refuses to upgrade from his original eGo-T constant voltage battery in favor of the arguably more rewarding and satisfying variable voltage, also tells me that he considers himself "unforgiveable", and IMO continually punishes himself in numerous ways because of it.
If your friend had offered you a means of losing weight that was arguably (and actually more like "demonstrably") more enjoyable than eating chocolate cake, pizza, doughnuts, mashed potatoes and gravy, fried chicken, filet mignon, or whatever else anyone likes to eat, I could easily understand any frustration she might experience at someone's unwillingness to at least TRY it.
My strategy is to confront people head-on - kindly, lovingly, and forgivingly - with their "inner demons" that are keeping them from being kind to themselves, or the ones that make them somewhat unwilling to admit that someone might actually have a better idea than they do, or be thinking more clearly and rationally (which, not inconsequentially, vaping has been scientifically demonstrated to do for one).
I happen to believe that vaping is better than sucking in cigarette smoke, and I believe that I have science, logic, and reason on my side. I am a firm believer in using that science, logic, and reason - administered full-strength and repeatedly, but kindly, lovingly, and forgivingly - to help people stop killing themselves with cigarettes, and to start enjoying the proven medical benefits of nicotine ingested unaccompanied by the long list of toxins and carcinogens present in burning (and unscrupulously adulterated) tobacco leaves that I will omit here.

john d - you are talking a out people who dont doas you do as broken. loving advice or not people prefer not to be addressed as broken.
leave well enough alone. your friends are perfectly able to decide his to live for themselves. even if you don't agree with what they do.
