I told my daughter to do a chore and she got distracted. I said to her that she needs to try to stop forgetting to do things that I tell her. She said "But I am a good forgetter!!"

Great topic Jag!! One time I asked my two year old to go get me the flyswatter. He left for a little bit and ran back into the room with a glass of water. He thought I said to get the flies water!!!

Something I did was to take some flavoring, from the store or my kitchen, that had the ingredients of simply flavoring and pg, and used it to refill and rejuvenate the carts. I also had some horehound in pga tincture that I used, which I liked a lot. I enjoyed the experimenting.

I am told that the vg gives great vapor, and I find that the pg carries flavors better. I use all vg nic and flavorings right now and pg base, get great vapor and good flavor. I started with 100% vg because I wanted to have the maximum vapor like you do, but ended up liking some PG mixed in a lot better. I do not notice any huge deterioration in vapor production with the ego and a pg/vg blend in place of 100% pg. Let's see what others have to say on this issue....

I find that my chocolate flavoring for DIY tastes more like a tootsie roll than actual chocolate. Is there one out there that actually tastes like milk or dark chocolate, as I might find in a truffle or chocolate sauce? Even a pastry chocolate would be useful I think......

I remembered something else that can be really helpful, which is just to make vaping as easy as possible: When he goes to work, have together everything he needs: freshly filled and tested cartos/carts, juice, chargers, backups, the pv fully charged, and a kit/case neatly and simply set up with everything he should need. This might help ensure he does not get irritated/frustrated and just go grab a pack of smokes. On the communication side of things, as we were sitting together one day, I simply shared with him why I am hoping that the pv works out for him: I love him dearly; he is my best friend, my heart; that if at all possible, when we are eighty, I would like to be holding his hand, not flowers at his grave site. I think he understood.

The title says sweetheart, but really it could be anyone. How can we as vapers be supportive and helpful to those in our lives that are trying to quit and maybe even have more struggle than we did, especially those that might be starting to give up on vaping? What words and attitudes in ourselves should we adopt and encourage and what should we avoid? What kind of practices and hints did you or do you find helpful, and what do you find detrimental? What has been helpful or failed when helping others? Those of you who are struggling, what do you wish fellow vapers could do? I have figured out a few things that I could share myself: I offer a pv well before analog time, so that maybe he could cruise past the next cigarette. I try to make the juice exactly to his liking, adjusting as much and as often as necessary to give him a great vape. I ask questions about what he would like in his vaping experience and do my best to provide it, such as more vapor, less throat hit, etc. Any links or suggestions would be excellent!! Thank you all!!
