What do your wives/husbands think of vaping

[chrisj3982]

My wife hates it, she would prefer me to go back to analogs so when she runs out of hers she could smoke mine. That and she's bummed out because she has to step outside to smoke while I sit on my chair and vape away in the warmth

My wife is supportive and glad I no longer smoke. She just wishes I did not spend so much on vaping.

My wife is so happy that I'm not smoking anymore (pack and a half a day for the last 25+ years) that she doesn't care what I spend on vaping. I've been off cigarettes for almost 5 1/2 months thanks to vaping and she's completely supportive of whatever it takes to keep me smoke-free.

This sounds like my SO, but we haven't gotten to the place where he does the turn around, he tried the patch years ago and had the awful nightmares so won't try any nicotine replacement. He talks about quitting and he is only smoking about half a pack a day, but still is believing the bad press he sees on TV. I think it is possible that he will come around as he is a little more supportive of me than he was, but we don't discuss vaping because he doesn't want to talk about it. He does ask a question now and then which I answer in as few words as possible and I do not vape in the house around him, outside or in the car is another story, if he smokes there I vape whether he likes it or not.
He is starting to notice that I am feeling much better and even losing a few pounds though so this may be the beginning of him relaxing his poor opinion of vaping.

My SO initially ridiculed me for vaping. At first it was just complaints that I was trading one addiction for another and that wasn't doing me any good. As things progressed it turned into an issue of nicotine addiction and an obsession with regards to gear, flavors/juices, and research. She has fought me at every juncture so far. I have gotten nothing but grief every time vape mail showed up at the house. She was using patches to stay smoke free, but had the occasional breakdown and smoked. A couple of months ago that seemed to stop working and she broke down completely, so I suggested she try vaping.

My SO did "try" my vape a couple of times and was clearly unimpressed, however, after seeing the results of vaping on my smoking habit, she has finally conceded that it is ultimately better than the smoking was. In a really surprising turn of events within the last 48 hours, I have been requested to assist with finding a "nice, easy to use, trouble free and comparatively small setup" for her to try. She initially asked me to get her one that tastes like her menthol cigarettes did, until I explained that they just don't exist (trust me, I have searched high and low for that flavor).

I'm thinking I'll take her to the local B&M to try some flavors, and find one or two that she likes, then giving her my older iTaste VVs with some Protank Mini's, since I am now using much larger gear. If she stays with it, I'll likely end up getting her a nicer setup sometime soon, but I really don't want to invest in anything new until I'm sure she will use it. I hope she enjoys vaping as much as I do!

My wife isn't a fan of clouds, but she's happy I quit smoking. I've used money from selling cigars and all my humidors to pay for my gear, so she doesn't crab too much. She does think my OCD tendencies are getting worse, but that happens from time to time. At least it's only a $30-$200 pv and not a $500 putter or paintball gun.

My wife and in laws are really cool about it. A doctor was reviewing my medical records and saw that I sought help to quit smoking more then a dozen times and told me to quit trying and use electronic cigs. Best thing I ever did and my wife loves the smell of the vapor and the fact that I feel ten times better. She also likes I have something to show for the money I blow.

My wife is very excited and happy that I started vaping and quit smoking. In fact I think she is more excited about it than I am lol.

 

[toddrhodes]

Mine is very supportive. She's wanted me off smokes for years but *never* pushed me. She quit 10 years ago, cold turkey, but she knows how tough it is. With that said, of all the stuff I've purchased, the only thing she hasn't liked so far is the "rattlesnake" effect on my Vamo. So I don't use that one around her and, frankly, with my new atty tanks and RBA's you can't hear it anyway. But, I try to be as respectful of her needs as possible.

My husband is skeptical, but he doesn't interfere or criticize.

Seems like the smoking spouses are more anti than the non smoking or vaping spouses.

My hubby still smokes, but he has no issues with the vaping thing. He's glad I got a cheap little setup and enough DIY liquid to last me for a year + so I can stop spending money. I kind of miss getting excited about vapemail though.

My significant says I was sexier as a smoker (jokingly of course). She fully supports it and my spending habit. She loves looking at my new equipment and trying my new eliquids. She was never a smoker but ive caught her using my kayfuns and "accidentally" reaching for them in the car so many times I always keep an extra around for her. I tend to keep my nic at 6mg now and that seems to work for both of us. She never smoked so 6mg is alot for her on occasion also both of us having ADD and being in college it helps us stay focused.

My wife doesn't like it. She likes it better than me smoking though. She thinks the vapor is annoying. My kids don't like the vapor either.

Great thread - My wife of 50+ years is thrilled that I got into vaping nearly 2 years ago. When we first got married, we were both pretty heavy smokers. She quit about 30 years ago and put up with my stinky habit for many years as a non-smoking spouse. As the realization started to set in how bad analogs really were, I changed my smoking habits to try to keep my smoking away from my non smoking friends and family. In other words, I did not smoke in either my house nor any of my family or friend's houses - but I always had my smoking hideaways like the garage or the screened-in porch or the backyard - etc. These areas always began to smell like ashtrays and smell of cigarettes was always with me. I never realized how bad that smell was until I stopped smoking myself and I could smell it on people around me that still smoke.

Bottom line - if you have succeeded in stopping analogs by replaced them with PVs , your non-smoking significant other, spouse, girlfriend/boyfriend or whatever else you call your mate should be as thrilled with your transition to vaping as my wife. Now, she actually reminds me if I forget my PV when we are going somewhere and makes comments when she sees that my juice supply is getting low that I need to restock.

Her reaction to my vaping reminds me of an incident many years ago - very early in our marriage. I had been riding a motorcycle for years and saw a younger brother get into a very severe motorcycle accident which nearly killed him. I told my wife that I was thinking about getting rid of the motorcycle and replacing it with some sort of sports car. She said - "I don't care what you replace it with - just get rid of that damned bike!.

I wound up with a Jaguar XKE convertible. PS - I got rid of the Jag a few years later - but I kept my wife!!

Keep on vaping!!
