    So far, the only people I've gotten into is my boyfriend and my best friend. Boyfriend loves it, friend forgets about hers for a while and picks it back up.

    I feel like my mom is too far into smoking to give it up. She doesn't like any of my e-cigs, and thinks they're a waste of money. Wonder what cigarettes are?

    I get a lot of people asking me about them when they see mine, but not sure if I've successfully turned anyone on to it.

    I got my girlfriend into it last month... Although that would make sense, Ive only been with her a month and only known her for 2 months! hahaha. Now shes quit smoking its great, she doesn't have smelly breath anymore so she gets to kiss me lots and lots! :)

    Yes, I did. I convinced my Dad to quit smoking by vaping recently. It's going out pretty well, as he has been an addicted smoker for more than 30 years. Well, I don't know if he has lung problems, but the quicker he quits it, the better.

    I am in the process of trying to get my mother into vaping. She has been smoking since she was a teenager and recently turned 40. I would rather see her using a vape rather than breathing in all of that disgusting smoke. It smells and it's just the worst.

    I got my sister-in-law and brother-in-law to try vaping. My brother-in-law didn't really take to it, and my sister-in-law has quit all nicotine products because she just discovered that she is pregnant. :)

    Well, you could tell her that smoking is way more dangerous than vaping. I don't know if that will convince her though. Women are generally very stubborn. But it's her own health and lungs after all.

    Well, it is official. I succeeded in convincing my mother to switch from cigarettes to the Vape. I should be taking her to look into a set up soon. :)

    Alex that is GREAT to hear! I've converted a couple people, but I wanted to let them 'try' vaping before I talk them into getting a good setup. Some people just don't take to vaping, or something in the e-liquid doesn't meld with them. If they are willing to stick with it though, I'll at least purchase them an ego so they don't have to deal with a Blu and the cartridges that don't last worth a darn.

    Well, I guess that's a great victory for you! I'm glad to hear that your mother will be safe and healthy (of course, over time). It's such a successful feeling to convince anyone to try vaping. Congrats!

    I haven't convinced anyone to try vaping yet. My best friends were actually the ones who introduced me to it over a year ago. I love it! I'll probably convince my boy friend to jump on the band wagon soon. :lol:

    My wife has become the official spokesperson for e-cigs since making the switch a few weeks ago. No-one has taken the bait yet, which leads me to believe that while they say they want to quit or make the switch, they really aren't that serious.

    Ah, you don't have to convince them, most people are asking you to try as soon as they see it! It's not just tasty and a great alternative to cigs, it's also cool and awesome. Some people just aren't into inhaling anything, and I wouldn't be pushy and make them try it, but even those people will sometimes have a puff after you explain it a little.

    I've converted quite a few people, actually! My fiance is one of my converts lol. I've also converted my mom and step dad, one of my best friends and a few strangers, too! A lot of vape shops include their business card with your order. I use those to give to people who inquire about "that thing I'm smoking" lol I absolutely love helping people kick the analog cigarette habit!

    I'm currently trying to convert my dad, he's always been a pretty heavy smoker so it hasn't been easy.
    I think I'll have to start throwing the term grandkids around, so he realizes the health benefits of vaping instead of smoking cigarettes.

    Yeah, I am pretty much like you Strikstar, both my dad and my brother are smokers and especially my brother has been trying to quit without success, so I think he will be a vaper soon enough, at least I think I already know what I am getting for his birthday. ;)

    For sure. I got my best friend and his wife to quit cigarettes for electronics once they tried mine. To this day I still have people stop and ask me about my e-cigg no matter where I go like bars, restaurants, or just out in general. For me it's pretty awesome to spread the word!
