Where to draw the line...

One of these days soon (I hope...) my SS VTube I ordered will arrive.

There ya go... nuttin' like LED displays and adjustments to capture a guy's fancy! Be prepared for some major 'share' time...

"Some men you just can't reach", you've done enough let it go. If he really is sincere in his interest to switch and spends all day on the internet then he has all the info he needs at his finger tips. Don't beat yourself up over it.

Only thing worse is trying to teach someone how to use a computer who was born during the depression...well it was for me anyway......

Seems to me this has nothing to do with vaping, and everything to do with his personality and attitude.

Do what you feel is right and fair by him, then cut yourself some slack.

That's right cookie monster.

The guy is in his 60's and still living off his parents? I think he has some worse problems than his smoking addiction.

Thanks tidegirl. No way I'll ever give up on hubby... LOL! I am really happy he has cut back from 2 PAD to 1 pack a week. He works around a lot of guys who smoke and such and I think he may get "teased" a little at work... being the only one vaping. IDK. That is why I said I don't poo poo him for still smoking. The decision to go electronic was mine and I was pleasantly surprised that he even wanted to try it, let alone cut down as much as he has. I have resigned myself to the fact that I cannot find the perfect set up for him and as much as I would like him to quit smoking completely, he needs to be checking into what he thinks would work best for him if he wants to quit via vaping. If he never quits smoking completely... well, hey... He's a big boy and I'm not his momma... LOL! I know he likes vaping and is happy he has cut back as much as he has, I guess I just feel a little bummed because it has worked well for me and I would really like to see it work as well for him. Not going to sweat it... we have certainly been through a hell of a lot worse together, so I think I will stick it out with him for a while longer... LOL!

One of these days soon (I hope...) my SS VTube I ordered will arrive. Yeah, I was one of the ones to order from Apollo back in March... still waiting... sigh. No biggie deal, really. My KGO has served me fine and honestly don't *think* I really *need* to get started in VV land, but hell... I want to... LOL! Maybe this next PV will wet hubby's whistle a little better. IDK... It's all good. It's clear around my house who is more into PV's and all the neatness of vaping vs. smoking... I just feel like maybe the real interest I have is what has given me a great advantage.

I didn't really feel the need for VV either. I just thought the I pro was so pretty that I had to have it. I obsessed over it for about a month, then one of my 2 ego batts died. I took that as a sign that it was time to follow through with my obsession. I love it now. Had to go back to the ego one night when I forgot my spare batts. I can survive, but much happier with my VV.

Ok, so I'm a bit irritated right now and need to rant for a second.

My BF's father used to live in the area and he always gave us a hard time about vaping and was convinced they were more harmful than smoking.

He recently relocated to Florida and has gotten a sudden interest in vaping. He got one of the dreaded free trial offers from the tv and fortunately he called us right after he received it. He thought it was $9.95 for the trial and $20/mo for refills. Turns out it was $99.95 after 15 days and $79.99/mo for refills. Fortunately, we caught it in time before the initial charges hit his card. He called customer service and was able to cancel and they allowed him to keep the sample kit.

Anyhow, I spoke with him at length on the phone that evening and the next morning put together a comprehensive email with links to the beginner's info on ECF, vendor recommendations and video tutorials. I gave him a couple model recommendations based on his smoking habits and lifestyle and directed him to the most cost efficient sources.

So far I've spent about 5 hours of my time talking to him and putting information together. So he calls back the other night (at near midnight, no less) and starts asking my bf questions. My bf had originally had me talking to him because I'm more well versed in the industry than he is. I do all the research and ordering for us both.

When my bf asked him about the info I'd sent, his reply was "I can't be bothered to go through all that." GRRRR

Keep in mind, he's unemployed and does nothing but surf the web all day.

So I'm torn. I really want to help him get off cigarettes and I don't mind helping him, but on the other hand I feel like I'm spinning my wheels if he won't lift a finger to help himself.

<end/rant>

Ok, I feel better now. Thanks for listening.

Clearly, it was too much info all at once. I don't see why it should take more than 10 minutes or so to tell a beginner everything he needs to know.
