It worked. After a brief phone conversation my friends wife stopped at my house today. I had a couple new iStick 30's here and a bunch of GS Air tanks and coils, plus some 24 mg unflavored juice. I showed her how to operate everything, change the coil, fill the tank, charge the battery, disassemble the tank to clean it. She was stunned. She heard about vaping on the news but didn't know the first thing about it.
She was proud as a peacock when she left...said she was going to spill the beans to her husband, and intends to stop smoking, which like some of you said he probably knows she smokes, it's impossible to hide the smell of cigarettes unless you shower after every smoke, brush teeth, mouthwash, etc.
I told her I could meet her at the vape shop tomorrow to try flavored juice if she likes....haven't heard back yet, she seemed to like the unflavored. With high nic content it's about the closest you can get to the taste of cig smoke. She tried the various flavors I have in my attys, but liked the unflavored better. I told her if she stops smoking her taste buds would return and probably like a flavored juice over unflavored, but it's all good.
Hopefully she will continue vaping and not return to the smokes. Only time will tell.
