OK, so it was suggested that we start a Vaper Club since we now went from 2 Vapers at my workplace to ~6 so far (in 4 weeks). I think this is a great idea, and have some ideas I'd like to bounce off the crowd to see if it sounds feasible and logical.
First off, it will not be 'official', as I could see lots of legal issues to deal with (financing, treasury, official positions, etc.). But I think just making up some business cards/brochure-type letters to hand to people who approach us at the smoke pit (and there are at least 3 a day!!!).
The one thing that seems to send smokers running is the initial buy-in. I convinced one of my friends at work to give it a try by letting him borrow my DSE901 and some juice for a few days. He just bought the protege (as did I) last week. So my suggestion now is kind of a 'pay it forward', as the person who got me vaping let me have some of his juice and an extra e-cig, and I was hooked. Maybe just ask for donations from the 'members', and use all of that to help buffer the startup costs for new vapers.
A website would probably also help us get the word out, but would probably have to get quite a few members before that becomes a reality.
That's about as far as I've thought through for now (only been an hour since the suggestion). Anyone else out there startup their local club, or participate.. and have suggestions, ideas, what to do, what not to do, general opinions? Thanks in advance!
