My wait was epic -- it shipped on the first, it arrived on the eighth. ><; Priority mail, even.
I was doing the postman stalk, reliving my old ebay days. I had finally given up and put my things on to go run errands, and he arrived! A ratty looking tyvek bag was shoved into my post office box, full of shiny new things.
I bought two Vapor King kits, and a nice selection of cartomizers so we could get a nice swatch of what was available -- a few menthols, a few desserts, etc. My nicotine dosages ranged from 8 to 18 mg. Vapor4life threw in a few freebies, as well, giving us an even broader selection.
It was to be my birthday gift to my brother (and myself). He'd been smoking since he was in the service, not 'heavily' but definitely consistently.
I couldn't wait for him to come home from work, so I opened the few that I had bought specifically for myself. I plugged in the batts to charge, whipped out the pt I bought, and balked slightly. You watch the youtube videos over and over again, but when you finally have it in hand it's a bit of a pause. I didn't want to break it, and I wanted to make sure it was a good experience so I could brief my brother when he returned. Also! I wanted to be sure it was worth the investment.
I gently twisted it on, and gave it a delicate suck... and another, and another, priming it. Then I took the long, slow draw I'd seen over and over again on youtube, my mouth filled with the flavor of lemon cookie icecream, I finally got to feel th for the first time, and I let out an exhale like a sigh after a good meal.
I said to my brother, "Oh, we in trouble now." When he came home.
He had been open to the idea, I didn't surprise him with this gift. So when he sat I gave him a brief rundown on how to vape, and handed it over. He looked pleasantly surprised, and seemed totally converted.
We're already talking about getting a lower ml of nicotine in our next order -- with his traditional smoke being lights, he says he feels the nicotine right away. So, fewer 18mls and more 8s, and he even said he was interested in the 0ml because he just enjoyed doing it!
A total smashing success. His day one without analogs.
Me: Question. Do you think you can give up (analogs) for these?
He: .... yes. Actually. I do. ....
I've actually been thinking about taking up crystal .....
Me: Well. I can't get you an electric one of those.
He: Awwww...
I'm already quietly plotting to snare our gaming buddy into vaping. He smokes at least a pack a day, and has for years.
He is not beyond my manipulation.
I'm completely impressed by the whole thing, so far. Of course, it *is* day one. But I'm pleased to hear my brother say he won't miss analogs. I'm pleased I won't be sent to the grocery store once he's had one too many because he wants a pack. I'm enjoying the whole thing, overall.

I can't financially handle another kit so soon, but I'm already waffling between the eGo style and the .... 510 style? I think it's called? I'm not as concerned about battery life, but I have to admit the eGo's style appeals to me aesthetically, the eGo and the Boge Leo. The Leo's been called 'old fashioned', but it still appeals to me. I'm told that I have a weakness for steam punk, and it does strike that cord for me.
