converting the non believers - how many avf members introduce vaping to friends?

If so how many?

Ive recently coverted a few, feeling good about it.

Not to give out mother teresa awards or anything, but genuinely interested

 

two, working on a third.
I can't take the credit, the government tax is the biggest motivator.

 

Yeah. My pal is on 45 bux a week. For 2 decks of winnie golds. I gave up when it hit 15 for 1

 

One convert in two years, lots of failures. Given up proselytising now.

 

Read my thread and you'll see why I'm probably quitting vaping and just going to smoke cigarettes. Ill never recommend it to anyone. It seems to be a money grab....jus being honest. As much as this community has ben great..vaping is just a costly aggravation.

 

Kaypur, you pay $12 for a packet of smokes and we pay $25 for the same pack. That price will rise by 10% (I think?) every 3 months forever. You got it good there!

 

I wouldnt say its a money grab kaypur. I mean if 2 decks a week at 45. 2 months was my break even point. Though i mix my own juice, i actually like the hit and flavour, plus you know that health thing so.

To each their own i guess

 

Helping one mate at the moment and we're helping another friend to start. Haven't had to even say anything, they've just been interested especially as I was such a heavy smoker.

 

Correct! If anyone is confused and you're dealing with a Peter then hang that bloody phone up!

 

I still can't figure out you ECFL is the first vendor alot of people come across? There are a number of good vendors that show up first when googling for stuff like "ecigcomstralia".

 

I have a feeling that they get a lot of referral and word of mouth business by unsuspecting noobs for various reasons. They're very accessible and as I mentioned earlier beginners need the nurturing so they don't know any better until they come across forums like this or people like us who take the time to help them out.

Just my thoughts though.

 

I was converted, the only thing holding me back was my personality that requires the lastest and greatest tech all the time. Got me broke

 

That's a cool idea.

 

Not me I like 3.9 it seems to be my sweet spot. But I like building coils @1.4 ish. Don't want to subohm, don't see the point.

 

The other thing I use when I feel lazy is a subtank nano and I just change the cotton every now and then and soak the bare coils in pg if they look gungy and they last ages. They're simple, taste good and easy to maintain. I like not subohming, it cheap.

 

Kind of converted my sister, she still smokes more than she vapes (I've given up trying almost)
A few online friends who I play WoW with I have converted, purely through not shutting up about how good it is.
and.. a guy from work

So.. lets call it 4.5 people
2 (More tech oriented) I sent to the isticks with varying kanger tanks
Other 2 ego twist with evod tanks
My sister is on my old ego twist I started with, with my protanks and evod tanks

 

I had panic moments pretty often when I started vaping. I kept feeling that I had forgot my lighter. I'd do the mad pat down of my pockets and my heart rate would come up... then I'd realise I don't need it anymore.

For me it's also been very similar to a lot of you.. yet I took it one step further due to the amount of requests I was getting being one who played poker and DJ's out and about all the time. I decided to setup my own website with custom starter kits which I'd let those interested know about and refer others to. Just the Vision Spinner and Mini Protank 3's including everything they need to get started with a fact sheet including all the info on how the setup works and links to things like youtube for tutorials and sites to purchase juice and other items from.
So throughout the last 9 months I've converted around 30+ people but I'd say the majority of them still smoke every now and then.
Still as I've always said, if vaping stops you from smoking just a little bit, it's doing it's job. People must have there own goals and will decide to quit when they want to.

 

Couldn't agree more. I'm fairly new to vaping, probably a good 5 weeks in now. Was probably smoking 15+ analogs per day when I picked up my vapo. Have been slowly edging off the stinkies, but am not totally off them yet. Still smoking maybe 2-3 a day...and as you said they are my "favorite cigs".
One in the morning as I walk from the train station to the office, one when I finish work, and sometimes I'll have one after my meal. Not yet 100% free from the shackles of tobacco, but I'm getting there!

 

I am in a group of vapes actually. Well, they're the ones who converted me. Honestly, I haven't persuaded someone or anyone yet to switch to vaping mainly because I'm still new at this. But in due time, I'll influence all my smoking friends to try this out because it certainly is healthier. For now, I'm just getting all the information in and trying to understand all these terms and devices and whatnots. Lol.
