I have this hobby you see: I convert smokers who express an interest in quitting to vaping.
What I do is, I keep an eGo battery, 2 PT2s and a selection of 12 mg nic juices (nic juices are illegal here) that I lend to people I trust who say they'd like to give vaping a go.
I tell them is: try replacing smoking with vaping for the number of days corresponding to the price you'd pay for cigarettes, equivalent to the cost of vaping kit I'm lending you. If, after that period, you're still smoking, you give me the kit back and that's that. If you've quit smoking, you keep it and pay me back. That way, you get to give vaping a go at no cost to you.
Seems fair doesn't it?
I mean, since everybody I've proposed this deal to has ended up quitting (but one), I've always gotten my money back. Still, each time it happens, I make the effort of getting a new vaping kit to lend to the next guy, and it means I'm always behind 60-some euros for the vaping kit that belongs to me, but is used by someone else. And I don't make the person pay for the juice they consume during the trial period. So I reckon I'm not exactly shafting people here.
Today I see this guy at the local bar. He's one of "my" converts, and he's getting to be a total vaping addict. Of course, he's reaching the limits of what an eGo battery and a PT2 can deliver. He wants more, and he's getting picky about his flavors.
But he doesn't want to hear about rebuildables or bigger mods, because he reckons he's "invested so much into vaping that he needs to see some return before getting new equipment, otherwise it'll cost him just as much as smoking". And he blames me for hooking him to vaping, and for the mounting cost of replacing atomizer heads, saying "I didn't tell him about all that when I sold him on vaping."
I told him: "You've got some nerves! You may not be saving much money compared to smoking (at the moment), but you ain't smoking no more are you? How valuable is that? Remember the last time you dropped a ton of cash on patches and you didn't quit in the end? Now *I* help you quit and you're counting pennies on me? Well thanks a buncharoony!"
So he sort of got all cross and left. I just don't believe the guy. It's kind of depressing really...
