Well done, man!
Well done, man!
I was converted by a co-worker, and now I see several people using them at work (I work at Kennedy Space Center in FL. It's a big place with several thousand employees.)
They're catching on like crazy there. Many people approach me almost daily and want to get one.
They're also popoular at my VFW Post. Everybody there smokes, and so far, I've gotten nearly a dozen people on them. Most haven't quit entirely, but they have cut down, so that's a start.
I get so many questions and requests for starter kits that I've started buying them in bulk and always having them with me. With bulk discounts, I'm able to sell 510 starter kits for $35, which is what I pay for them.

rocketvapor.... are you an employee or a contracor...?? You can PM me with that answer if you want, I'm interested to see if you're in the same boat as I am... I work at a Fed Govt. site in Georgia and since I started vaping about 2 and a half months ago, there are now about 50 of us at one facility. It's to the point that at the gazebo in the smoke pit, there are usually MORE of US than THEM!!! I see about a person a day converted now, and we have our 510 and 901 groups, though we all get along and even coordinate vape breaks to let each other try out flavors.... perhaps the crowd you work with DOES affect how quickly people convert...
As of December 3, 2009, I will have been vaping for a month. (No tobacco cigarettes at all other than the six analogs I smoked in the first week.) I have never seen another vaper in Fort Lauderdale, but I have been able to get a couple of acquaintances interested. This forum has been great for me! I see a lot of users online here from Florida, so I know that there are a lot of us here in the sunshine who have been enlightened.
I am a contractor for NASA. Our smoking gazebos are also rapidly filling up with vapers, although smokers still outnumber vapers at least 3 to 1. I do see a new vaper nearly weekly, though.
I hadn't thought about coordinating breaks. That's a damn good idea, especially since most of the techs get regularly-scheduled break times, so they tend to congregrate.
To be honest, I avoid the gazebos and other smoking areas now, since I hate the smell now! What a hypocrite I am, but it's true! After spending 10 minutes in there, I stink.
I didn't even know about vaping until I saw a link someone posted to litecigusa on a eBay discussion board just a few months ago. That got me curious, so I followed up on it and ended up here! (previously I'd seen a TV ad for an e-cig, but I poo-pooed it thinking it had no nicotine and was tasteless. I thought, how could anyone get any satisfaction from taking in odourless vapour??) When I did my research online, I found out there was a lot more to it than I'd previously thought. I'm really surprised it's stayed so "underground" though.
Same here. I never thought it would be as good as it actually is.
