    He himself said that one of his co-workers quit with the ecig, so wait till he tells to his co-worker what he got for Christmas. Sometimes reinforcement from someone outside the family circle is just what a stubborn sole needs to be able to think it was his idea, instead of a family member pushing him. I do understand, as my dad was also king of stubborn, and leary of anything new. It took us years to get hin to like the remote control for the TV, because for his generation, if he had to figure out anything that had more that like three buttons on it, he didn't want to hear about it.

    Good luck

    What a wonderful Gift !!! At least he will have you to help him get started. Hopefully he will decide he likes it better than smoking. With your support (and flavor selection) it should be a great way for him to start the new year.
    He must be a good Dad if you plan on helping him stick around for a few more years

    Happy Holidays

    What a great gift you got for him!! A variety of juices would probably be a big bonus for him - even if most of them are tobacco flavors. A lot of the fun of vaping is trying different flavors.

    My advice would be to tell him to take long, slow drags...to fill his mouth with vapor before inhaling. Also, tell him not to give up if he feels like it isn't working. The best thing to do is to give it a chance. Even if he still smokes for awhile, every cigarette he doesn't have is a good thing. If every time he wants a cigarette he'll vape first, he might cut down on a lot of the cigarettes. If after vaping for awhile he still wants a cigarette, he can have one. That alone might help him not be anxious about it. If he just relaxes and gives the eGo a try, he'll soon be vaping more than he is smoking without working too hard at it and would probably completely replace the cigarettes with the eGo. He doesn't have to push himself at all. And he might even find (like I did) that he loves vaping more than smoking and he'll make the switch quickly. But he needs to know that he doesn't have to.

    I smoked for 34 years and didn't have any problems whatsoever switching over...some people have taken longer. But from what I've seen, most people do eventually make the switch. There are quite a few of us here that have smoked for more than 20 years, so he would be in good company if he'd join the forum. We'll give him all the encouragement he could ever ask for. Let him know that we all wish him the best of luck and would love to have him here.

    That's a great gift and if you can get him to stick with it he will thank you for it in no time.
    If he's anything like I was at first then all the "work" of filling carts or cartos will seem like a pain in the butt for him. After all..it's so much easier to just pull out a cig and a lighter and start smoking.
    So my first suggestion to you would be to either offer to fill up his cartos for him or just have several ready to go right off the bat.
    Also see about getting his some sort of small pouch or case for his eGo and juice/carts. I don't think about it much anymore, but at first having all that stuff in my pockets just seemed like such a waste.
    But I guess the most important thing to do is remind him how much better he'll feel and how much you're doing this to keep him around longer.
    After he gets into the use of it and finds the enjoyment and health benefits like the rest of us he will be on his way and thank you for your concern.
    Just remember we are all here to help. Have him join in and ask questions and maybe together we can all get him vaping and having an analog free life.

    Good luck and happy vaping.



    p.s. also try a few different types of juice...he might like something different, never know.

    Wow, now that's the way to start the New Year. WTG!!! Your friends and family are very lucky to have you. Mine are more like Kayoticc's... interested, ask lots of questions (repeatedly I might add), and then I recieve news that they finally purchased one because their co-worker or someone just bought one and they're so cool!! lol. It's so wonderful that they do eventually find their own way into a healthier alternative way of smoking. Being the seed so that others may sprout, is a good thing. Sometimes it takes a long time for some to get around to trying it out, but it's worth it when they do. Patience and humility go hand in hand I suppose.

    So I just got my 7th person to go from smoking to Vaping. (all ordered them from VT of course)....started with a couple peeps from work, my girlfriend, a friend that came into town, my girlfriends parents, my niece (Destiney here on the forum)...and so far, all of them prefer to vape than smoke.....My girlfriend yesterday forgot her Ego at the house, and drove a 20 min trip to go back home and get it...said she felt "naked" without it. I can truley see how this is quickly going to network out like a wildfire! Most of these people have said that after Vaping, an analog tastes like sheeeit. Nothing would be funnier that putting Big Tobacco out of business.

    So first off...I got my eGo in the mail today. Wow! You guys are right...it's just awesome! The 510 is good, but this upgrade is just better. No wonder everyone suggests it. The deal I got was great and the shipping was fast.

    Next are the VT juices. I ordered Tobacco and Dulcis. They are really good! Thanks Chris for offering such good flavors. I will be ordering more from you! They arrived all the way from Cali in three days...great service! They both have sort of a nutty flavor (maybe hazelnut?) that I just love. And now with the eGo I seem to get even more vapor...and that's just with an atty and cart.

    I also received a pack of cartos. I think I will have to try the carto more. I can't decide if I like it or not. I think I like an atty and cart better for some reason.

    Next will be my attempt at dripping. We'll see how I like it! I guess I'll have to place an order for a drip tip now. All this ordering of fun stuff and it's STILL cheaper than smoking in NY!

    Oh and by the way...only one analog today! Yeah for me

    So...Like anything I get into, I find myself wanting more and more. Maybe its my personality, when I dive into somehting, I am either all in, or all out....with vaping, I am ALL IN!...Sooo. my first ecig was a mall ripoff..was on it till I found the Ego, which is great. However, I want to get the best PV on the market. Varible voltage, sleek looks, reliabe, and something that will produce consistant vapor. Money is no object....suggestions? ...and plz don't try to sell me your Provari for $499.00

    I kept hearing that radio commercial for the "smoke assassin" so I started searching on-line. Spent a few days searching those big commercial sites (that's all I was seeing with searches, Smoking Everywhere, Smoke 51, Blu, etc). One term I kept seeing over an over was "vapor", so I search for "vapor cigarette" and that's when I found Vapor Talk. That was the end of it... the fine folks here hooked me right up and I've been happily vaping ever since.

    In the smoking (cigar)room on a cruise in August a young couple from Oklahoma said I was coughing too much!!! and out of her purse came a Joye510!! I was amazed that such a product existed - but living in the forests of Canada I do get behind knowledge of modern devices!!! To make a long story short - I researched and researched AGAINST my husband's opinion and found this wonderful,informative site. Thank-you Vapor Talk. I have been vaping since October 1st, no smokes since mid-October and believe it or not my husband is now vaping since mid-October!!! We are ages 67 and 74, both smoked for 50+ years each, saving about $600 a month!!! I do not count all my new products as a cost - they have changed our lives.

    GPurv reacted to ripple in I Don't Know How To Vape Properly After Two Weeks   
    I think I got lucky and saw a video early on that talked about the holding it in the mouth while on the inhale then taking it into the lungs so thats the only way I have been. I will say that I visited a local casino this weekend past and I was really stuggling badly wanting an analog - somehow I made it though without bumming one - I think it helped I was losing and got out of there.

    I think I have begun to truly turn the corner myself, and really enjoy vaping more. In fact just ordered several new flavors this morning from vaperite as well as a sample pack so basically have eight new flavors on the way and am already thinking about a box mod.

    I began this journey treating vaping as a one to one replacement for smoking. Replicating my smoking pattern with vaping and it wasn't really working for me overall. Sure I was liking the flavor and the TH but the experience was lacking for me. I have been settling into more of an approach of vaping as something entirely different with its own rituals and experience. As I let go of the smoking rituals and embrace these new ones - combined with the tasty vapes and techniques things are settling in.

    It helps to read through threads like this and learn from each other, to understand techniques and habits that are working. I will say I have had several sore throats, which has concerned me to some degree but like anything its a body adjustment I believe.

    Thanks for all the sharing and insight this thread has added to my insight on how to, the basics! Its great.
