Right on Cheapers. I to am trying to pay it forward. A 23 year old kid I work with practically forced me to try his mini protank at work one day, he was persistent and kind of annoying to be honest. He swore that vaping would help me quit. Actually he guaranteed me vaping would make me quit. I know he lurks on this forum from time to time but doesn't post.

I've said it a million times but thanks Mikey!

This is awesome! I understand because if it weren't for someone taking the time to help me understand about vaping, i probably would have not given it a second thought. I have turned on other co-workers to vaping and they have had the same results. I believe that if you can offer your knowledge, most of the time that is enough to get the ball rolling. Once they experience it for themselves, it is off to the races. Thanks for sharing!

I have been vaping for about 6 months or so. I chewed for about a year, quit, started working on my Jeep in the garage and started again. Then I started smoking with eveyone at work that smoked(its hard to throw a dip in when you sell cell phones). I used nicotine gum for a few months and then started smoking and chewing again(lousy break-up lol). I quit cold turkey when I met someone new(they didn't like it). About 8 months into that I started using Snus again and got hooked on it at work. At some point, I had gone to a shop to buy a new hookah hose and saw that they had ecigs from starter kits to crazy mods. I got mad at myself for doing the stuff again and went and bought two 1100 egos and a few Evod tanks. Worked like a charm. I now have an SVD, Protank II, a normal and Mini RDA and rebuild and re-wick all of my stuff. I'm considering getting into mixing my own juice too. One thing that I can say, is that it is a great conversation piece when you're out at the bar blowing huge plumes of smoke. All that ladies ask what it is.

Now that I have rambled about my vape history... When I started vaping, my goal was to get everyone that smokes at the dealership I work at to switch over to vaping. In just the last month two people actually quit cold turkey, our title clerk, three technicians and one of our sales guys got into vaping(still working on getting them past the tiny batteries and into the fun stuff. one guy did get an SID though :). I have another guy in sales that wants me to get him set up and one of our service writers is planning on spending about $100-$150 to start off with a decent mod and tanks. Pretty exciting stuff. I'm about half-way through everyone that smokes here.

Great post!!! I've been vaping for only a couple weeks but I can already see how the non smoking is effecting me in a positive way. I've been spreading the word to all my friends that smoke about vaping. My goal is to try to get them all switched over.

Very cool. I try my best to not be overboard with people, sometimes u can see their eyes get glassy and they disconnect. They won't cross over till they really want a change. Good works!

The worst part is the people that want to start, but don't believe that just because you tried a blu and didn't like it doesn't mean that they're all like that. lol

Good for you, way to pay it forward!! I've only PIF'd one so far, but it still makes me happy to have done so. I gave the young man down the street an MVP 2 recently. I was out for a walk and saw him in the front yard having a smoke. I've known him since he was a toddler and was surprised to see him smoking. He told me it was his 24th birthday and he was having a beer and a few smokes. I asked if he had heard about vaping and he said that he had but didn't know much about it. I told him to wait right there and headed up the block to the house and returned with a box of juices and gear. We sat down and he started trying jucies and really liked it. He found a favorite, so I gave him a bottle of juice and the MVP 2. I saw him a week or so later and he had made a trip to a vape shop with his mom and she had bought a kit too. They are now both vaping. So I really got 2 converts with one PIF. Now if I can just get my wife to open her mind to vaping but sadly, she's like the old mule that didn't want to plow.

She has to be ready. Good job with the neighbor! I love it.

lmao I miss you too. You staying warm up there I hope. Say hi to those polar bears for me. I know they can drink a coke but probably not use a pen or I'd have you get an autograph from one of em to give to me.

Where I live staying warm is only a state of being in ones mind. Now as I explained before those darn Coke a cola bears are a little snobby now that fame has gone to their heads . HOWEVER, I know how much you adore Justin Beiber so I will be working at getting his signature on a huge life size poster . Just for you Fishee . Your soooooooooo lucky !
