Hi Toffee,

Great that you want to get your son off the fags. I think the only problem with the youngsters is the image. Try and convince him that 'being different' is 'cool'. He doesn't want to be one of the 'sheep' he needs to be a 'leader'. Easier said than done but you can only try!

[toffeepops]

I no, we've already had that conversation! Very true they dont want to be "different". I hope it works hubby still cant get the hang off it, coughing as soon as it hits the back of his throat.. unless hes had few drinks!

Best of luck toffee, To get your son off the fags I'm sure you'll win

[toffeepops]

Hoping so, he admitted today he doesnt really enjoy smoking .. its just a habit hmmm think we can all relate to that!

Good luck toffeepops, I hope you can convince your son. I've just turned 26 and quid happily vape away in public. Some of my mates still give me a ripping for it (most of them are smokers) hopefully some of them will see the light soon but, there we go.
Has your husband tried lowering his nic or using a different pg/VG ratio? Might stop the coughing fits.

Good luck on getting your son off the fags................I smoked for far too many years and could have sailed round the world a couple of times with the money ive wasted not to mention the harm its done to my body and probably others. E-cigs are deffo the way to go Tell your hubby to just try holding the vape in his mouth then blowing out rather than inhaling it.

Hi Toffee
It's great you wanting to get your son off the stinkies. Trouble is with your kids (well mine anyway) if they think you are trying to get them to do anything they will fight against it.
When I bought all my new vaping gear, I told my daughter how marvellous it was and all i got back was "well i am happy as i am" In the end I didn't say anything anymore. Just kept vaping and occasionally raving on about my GVC (grants vanilla custard) After a few months we were out in the car together and i asked her to hold my ego twist whilst I did something. I caught her taking a puff on it. Asked her what she thought and she said it was nice. 2 days later she phoned me up and asked me to buy a kit for her. BINGO. She is a complete convert now.

Hope it all goes well and he gets the message eventually

My hubby has picked up my old cig e like and cut down on the rollies.... He now wants an ego like mine .... I think if you lead by example half the battle is won and I've only been doing it 11 days so I'm hopeful he too will quit the stinkies for good pretty soon

I too have a 20 year old son who i have now got a setup for him, i scratched up a vamo yesterday trying to take it apart to make an evic housing and ordered a new one so my next plan is he will have that vamo as soon as the new one arrives il keep bombarding him with goodies till he is a complete convert i think he is still having the odd one or two stinkies at the mo but once he has some new kit im hopeing that the stinkies will be a thing of the past for him too:)
hehe i am also trying to convert anyone that slightly shows interest in my vaping i went to currys yesterday to get a lead for a evic head and i think i may have turned the attendant there too as i had him puffing on my vamo in the shop

I have a 24 year old daughter that smokes(ed)- I always felt so awful about it as kids with smoking parents often smoke themselves when they grow up

She came round to mine on the day my Riva turned up an said she'd been looking into ecigs herself - she's starting a new job, with a new car soon and will spend a lot of time on the road and the only time she'll get to smoke will be on the road between appointments. She had a try and within 5 minutes asked me to order her one. Her intention was to use it in the car and smoke analogues when out with friends etc.

Her Riva turned up the next morning (brilliant service from Vapeescape ) and she'd just smoked the last of her packet of analogues so decided she would see how she went without buying some and she hasn't bought any since Last week she was out and had forgotten to charge her battery so bummed a smoke from a friend and had the same reaction as me - that it tasted so disgusting she wouldn't be doing that again!

Fingers crossed for your son toffee - maybe he'll enjoy vaping so much that he won't bother with the stinkies anymore.

And forget to mention my husband! He's a cigar smoker so I got him some RY6 and he likes the menthol too. He's probably halved his cigar consumption which I'm pleased about. I'm not pushing things with him at all as he's got some stressful stuff going on at work at the mo.

Great move by you and well done, hopefully your son will give it a good go. As he doesn't enjoy smoking anyway I think there's a good chance he will take to vaping. I think what helped me was the novelty factor as well as all the other benefits of course. I loved the idea of recharging a pretend cigarette on my laptop or sticking out the side of my tv lol.

Regarding your husbands coughing, it could be he isn't drinking enough liquid as vaping can dry you up a bit or maybe what he is vaping is just rough or maybe the nicotine content is too high. I tried 45mg in Novemeber last year, myyyyyyyy god it was strong!! I didn't like it at all, I was on 18mg at the time, I've gone down to 12mg recently which still gives me a buzz using my Igo-L so the next lot of juice I make I'm going to take it down to 8mg and see what its like. It could also be your husband is getting dry hits which would make anyone cough. Which system is he using?

[toffeepops]

hi and thanks for all for your comments, we are using an apollo ego, he is trying red usa mix 11 mg but still coughs, I know what you mean about vaping making you thirsty, is that why Im drinking this much wine?! lol, no seriously I dont think hes cut out for it, I think he prefers them stinky roll ups! but hes nearly out of tobacco, so we will see!

Oh and hoping the postie brings a parcel tomorrow for son... then hubby be the odd one out..
