When you vape around cigarette smokers.

[LEDBETTER122]

Most of the smokers I have been around have switched to vaping. I tell them how cheap it is and tell them all the options on how you can customize it any way you want, from the coils to the wick from the volts or watts to the different flavors. Or I tell them they can just keep it simple with an Ego starter pack.

If they are someone I know, I will let them try it (9/10 times they choke). Another thing that's odd is for some reason, the harder they choke on it, the more they like it (No Pun Intended).

After they get done Coughing up half their Lung, they say "Man I like that" lol

I would stand next to them and hold my nose. Maybe have an intense coughing fit. Better yet... move 20 feet away and ask them to tell me when they put those things out so I can get closer.

Years ago I laughed at a co-worker who was standing with us smokers outside sucking an e-cig. He was trying to quit analogs and finally quit everything including vaping. Even though he had no memory of it I apologized to him last week.

Only if it don't become another addiction like collecting. lol

I find that I can smell a smoker from pretty far away. AND, they aren't even smoking. I don't want that so I keep 5-8 feet away from active smokers. Maybe they will get the point about vaping. My house and car are still off-limits. I am grateful that I can taste and smell. I heard that I should start feeling better, too.

I've come up with a relatively pat speech:

It's an electronic nicotine replacement, and uses propylene glycol (in nebulizers, lung transplant patient treatments, and many IV meds, not to mention hospital air systems) and vegetable glycerin (you make the stuff, just animal glycerine) to deliver the nicotine. You can adjust your nicotine up or down, it has zero tar, and none of the 4,000 other chemicals cigarettes do.

And yes, I do feel better since I use this and I no longer cough or get out of breath.

Here's a card...

I know what your saying, every time I convert someone I tell them to go straight to a Regulated mod (Vamo, SVD, or MVP) and skip all the CE4 crap and go straight for Protanks or an RBA. A starter kit (Ego w/ CE4) is $70 at the local B&M, for the same price online you can get way better equipment.

I tell them that, because I wish I knew then what I know now and didn’t buy a $70 ego kit, and they wouldn't regret it.

I have spent a considerable amount of money to get "The perfect setup for me", and I try to tell people to avoid it.

It's hard for a gadget (like myself) kinda person to not get caught up in it.

Got a Ego kit and that night I was on ebay ordering a MVP (got the next day) and 3 days later ordered a VTR and another MVP for my wife. Ordered a MVP shine, PT 2 mini for her for Valentine's and got a cart full of stuff that I'm ready to pull the trigger on...

But you're right had I known then what I know now there would have been some things that would have never made it to my cart.

Yeah , some people just enjoy pushing buttons. I get compliments on what my vapor smells like. My friend that was sitting next to me at a party told me she wanted to eat my vapor lol. The new mix I made last night got the "that smells better than what you normally smoke " compliment. My car smells delicious too . Rather than being embarrassed by nasty smoke smell, I now get complimented !

Friday I had a co-worker with me all day who smokes the stinkies and always gives me grief about my ecig. So I brought my freshly cleaned evod with me and let him use it for the day and he loved it. On the ride home we stopped by my local shop and he picked up an evod starter kit so this will be his first weekend vaping and I can't wait to hear his thoughts when I see him tomorrow..

 

[1wildman]

i get some strange looks. I think most people are used to seeing those crappy cig-a-likes or eGo starter setups. When they see me with either a MVP2 with a tank or rocking a mech w/ a RDA they are inquisitive. When they see how a good vaping setup performs then they start asking more questions.

 

[cjmazzotta]

Don't explain anything, they won't listen. Get some silicone steril drip tips and hand it to them and say "taste this".

Outside my work, there are 3 types of nicotine addicts.

1) smokers. LOTS
2) cig-a-like users who are grumpy (not enough nicotine) and don't understand why category 3 exists.
3) eGo and mod users.

Group 1) spend £3,000-£5,000 a year on their "luxury".
Group 2) spend £2,000 a year and are grumpy about it
Group 3) spend £1,000 a year and have lots of shiny toys.

I've never had a complaint from anyone, smoker or non-smoker. In 2010 or so, I had a co-worker who switched over to a cig-alike - he used to come outside with me to "smoke" and I really liked the smell of the vapor, it was vanilla, I think. I remember thinking that was so cool he was able to stop smoking but didn't believe it would work for me. I wish I had given it a try back then

LOL at #2... poor .......s.

One of my female managers asked me if vaping bothers my masculinity. I'm 50, 5-10, 200#, in decent physical shape.
I told her I'm better with the look of my eGo twist at my size than 80#, with lung cancer, at 60 look I was headed toward.
End of conversation.

Tru dat. I spent a month in Group #2 looking like Grumpy Cat on a worse-than-average day. Although I believe that Grumpy Cat's days are always worse than average.

Now I'm a happy member of Group #3.

 

[Ehrielle]

after 4 months of vaping, can't stand the smoke of cigarettes. and most of my smoker friends already converted as well.

 

[Jay-dub]

I unapologetically look at them as if they just ate a baby. I'm repulsed by the smell. But, the look of disgust looses it's meaning after a while. Then, I get out of the stink-flow.

I just laugh it off when my friends used to ask me about it and tease me about it and just go out talking about other stuff instead of giving them the same story on why I switched...eventually they started asking if they could try it little by little and then they eventually made the switch to vaping. some of the still smoke from time to time but I still consider it a little victory if its not all the time. I guess I got a little lucky with them. Any other negative comments or anything like that from other people I just ignore it. I switched to vaping for me not because its a new trend or anything like that. just keep doing you man!
