What to do with old gear?

[Promise]

So I have a woman that sits behind me at work and she is always saying how cool my PV is and how she wants to stop smoking. I let her try my 510 a few times. She loved all the flavors but every single time no matter how low the nic she would cough and choke. It was just too harsh for her. So she was kind of heart-broken.

Well this weekend I was going through my closet and stumbled upon a M401 kit (2 batteries, 2 atty's, 5 unfilled carts, carry case, wall and USB charger) I bought while experimenting several months back.

First thing this morning I plopped it all down in front of her, on her desk with sample bottles of Drewbacco 2, 555, Peanut Butter cup, and orange creamsicle along with one of Drew's business cards.

She fired it up right away and produced vape her first try and best of all no cough.

Needless to say she is very excited and I think we have a convert

So I think i'll be passing out a few more kits since the xhaler has made everything else pretty obsolete

Good for you and your co-worker Promise! There are angels in Sin City after all!

That is EXACTLY how I get rid of my extra gear!!!

Just gave a starter kit to a friend this weekend with one of my backup screwdrivers!! I have given away more crap than I actually use but I love it when someone takes a liking to them and can try without spending the dough. Of course I ALWAYS give them some of Drew's juice and a card

That is awesome Promise! I plan on doing the same for a friend with my old gear as well.

awesome, kinda converted my buddy with my old 901 kit, they did just call the other night and asked where they could get the cheapest kr808d1, maybe i should send them out another package so they can try it, too.

What a nice thing to do, it's always great when you can literally change someones life for the better. I'm sure she's very thankful.

I work at a casino, where it seems like everybody smokes. I've converted quite a few people. Now, at least once a week someone says "Hey, you got some juice until I get my order?" What can you do?

 

[Lada]

Haha Johnny, I actually get that alot as well. It kind of makes me feel like a drug dealer, well I guess it doesn't help that whenever any of my friends talk about ecigs and juices they refer to me as their dealer or the guy that got them hooked on to it...

Thanks everyone, it was definitely a good cause.

Also got another person converted here at work.
He was buying into the FDA "bad for you" propaganda, so I educated him a bit and just helped him place an order for a 510 on the Nhaler site

So a quick update.
The woman I passed the set off too told me today she hasn't had an analog since Monday AND a manager in the office purchased 2 510 sets, one for her and her husband

You know, when some folks try a PV for the first time... and cough cuz they don't hit it correctly... I have to remind them of how rough it was the first time they smoked an analog... I do my best to remind them of this before they just give up altogether on vaping from one or two, ill-taken puffs on a PV...

If you think about it, learning how to vape is very analogous to learning to smoke... but most folks forget how many different brands of cigs they tried before they settled on what they're smoking now... so it's always helpful to remind potential converts that they may not get vaping "exactly right" the first puff or two... and encourage them not to give up so quickly.

And THAT, my fellow foggies, is why I prefer to give away old gear over selling it... the $90 I spent on my start-up kit (and extra's I bought with it) is worth the price of seeing another person drop fooksticks for PV's...
