My husband was leery in the beginning but once he saw I was going to actually quit smoking (unlike my 2 tries with cig a likes) he was thrilled...he was never a smoker and he is over the moon happy
What do your wives/husbands think of vaping

My wife loves it. She's never said no to any vape gear I've wanted. Though I've never gone crazy. I was stocked up on juice, so I bought a zmax this month. Ended up spending a little more than I usually do on vape supplies than I normally do this month. It was still no big deal because I've saved about $700 this year (that's probably a low estimate) vapeing over smoking, so she didn't have an issue with it. She likes the fact that I don't stink, don't stink up the house or car. And that I'm not harming her, because she doesn't have to sit around breathing smoke, while I'm burning a cig when I'm not taking a drag.

At first she thought it was stupid...and then she kept wanting a taste to see what juice I was vaping. Now she uses a mini evod setup I gave her.
No problem with my wife, she owns 2 ProVaris and 3 mechanical s and is in to RBAs, of course the favorite for the entire family is the ProVari. In my case, the only problem I have with my wife is to make sure no more vape mail arrives, it has become a weekly event. But on the bright side, after 37 years of smoking 2 packs of analogs daily I have been free from those things for about 7 months now and her, after 25 years of a a pack and half daily, free of analogs for 7 months also. So I guess no complaints here.
My fiancé has mixed emotions. Overall it doesn't bother him. But he would like to see me quit completely as he quit completely cold turkey. He still sees vaping as smoking. There isn't tension with it or arguments but I can tell he'd probably be more at ease if we both were completely nicotine free. He is a little more into it now that I have a whole Star Wars mod collection. He still refuses to try them or use them yet he has been caught looking at them a few times.
As long as we are both tobacco free I don't think he has too huge of a problem with it.

My wife of 38 years has been an ex-smoker for over 25 years and a cancer survivor for over 10 now. She supports anything I do to keep me off of analogs. Heck when we go shopping in the big cities she even spots B&M stores for me. She has absolutely no problem with me vaping in the house or car.
Wife was a bit suspicious at first, and rightfully so. The gum didn't work, and Chantix didn't work. Blu gave me a hint of the potential with these devices, but it ultimately didn't work for me either.
I got serious, did a little research, ordered a Halo Triton, and I haven't had (or even wanted) an analog since my first vapemail.
I ordered a Triton starter kit for my brother three weeks ago. He had his last analog two weeks ago.
These results speak for themselves.
When I first began vaping, she mentioned that I seemed to be vaping more than I used to smoke. I said "Even if I had to hit this thing every 5 seconds, which I don't, it would still be much better than smoking."
I think skepticism is natural when encountering something new like vaping. It kinda sorta looks like smoke, and smokers seem satisfied with it. "So what's the catch?" Other than purchasing equipment and ingredients, I've yet to find one.
She occasionally questions "Why so many flavors?". I usually answer with "Because they're available, and my taste buds are back. Because I can craft my DIY e-liquid exactly how I like it. Because I like sharing my creations with myguinea pigs friends and relatives. Because I'm no longer limited to one disgusting flavor."
She understands Vapor != Smoke. I explained there is no risk from second-hand vapor. She likes how I don't stink and my cough is gone. Best of all, though, is that she's been impressed by the large, strong and supportive online vaping community that she didn't know existed until I showed her.
A few days ago, she asked me to order another Triton starter kit for a dear family friend who is a pack-a-day smoker. I'm expecting it in the mail today (Yay vapemail! Even for someone else!!!) My wife promised that I'll show her how to use it. I've got an assortment of e-liquids mixed for her. It was my wife's idea to help our friend out. So she's on-board 100% now.

My wife bought me an expensive drip tip for my birthday.
And I am pretty sure she is going to be getting me some juice samples as a stocking stuffer.
She used to taste some of the new flavors I would get, if they sounded interesting to her.
But she stopped doing that years ago.

My GF is the one that got me started vaping and now she is ashamed at the monster she's created. I made the jump to mech mods (clone mods, legit RBA's) before she did, unfortunately, she has expensive tastes and refuses to rock clone anything.
My girl is just as into vaping as I am, she also got herself a SID. She adds a little of her flavors to the liquid I make and shes happy.
She don't care what I spend either, I may get her a RBA, she seems to like mine.

My wife was thrilled when I quit smoking. Then, around 20 mods later, she started asking if it was necessary for me to keep buying gear. Another 40 or 50 mods later, and she's thoroughly annoyed with my penchant for buying (and selling) gear.
I've only got a few more unicorns dear. I promise. For now.
Seriously though, she's very happy that I don't smell or taste like an ash tray. She's also happy that my blood pressure has dropped by about 20 points and that my health is generally vastly improved over the point it was a year ago. She doesn't get my mod habit, but she also doesn't complain too often so long as I stick to my budget.

My wife was not for it when I was smoking and vaping. Since I have quit smoking she says she does not care what I spend on it as long as I do not smoke. At this point I have about broke even and will be saving money till I buy the Provari then will have to try and catch up again. She asked for a list of things for stocking stuffers for me and was amazed at how much of a geek I am with vaping. Kinda like I am with all my hobbies. She is pretty awesome.
I don't know about wife. But my girlfriend loves it. And her little sister is a fan of the smell. Says it smells like candy
My dogs don't seem to care, and the cat is mildly curious about the vapor clouds.

husband is fine with it, prefers it over me smoking-he has learned a lot and can discuss harm reduction and basic starter kit stuff with his co-workers who are interested in quitting.
My hubby was the one who first brought it up and first bought a larger set up. I wasn't convinced it would help me quit so I went in dragging my feet (I have anxiety issues and last two tries at quitting ended with horrible panic attacks) and I was positive I would never be seen with more than a cig a like. Now I have multiple devices and he still has what he started with. I am waiting on yet another battery and I think he's become annoyed, but it's turned into as much of a hobby for me as a way to quit. He created a monster haha
