I started vaping back in January<br \/>\n2014 and went from smoking 70 (yes, seventy) cigs a day to vaping 3-4ml of<br \/>\n9mg a day. I followed all the trends, new devices, learned to make my own<br \/>\njuice, was active on the forums etc. All in all, apart from saving my lungs,<br \/>\nI also saved ???37.400 (I&#8217;m counting, 1870 days&#8230;) despite being a bit of a gear slut.<\/p>\n<p>But this is not about me. For me the switch was rather instant in that it<br \/>\ntook me 2 weeks to completely transfer to vaping (with a simple eGo\/C4).<br \/>\nHowever, my wife, who smokes a lot less &#8211; 10 cigarettes a day &#8211; didn&#8217;t find<br \/>\nit so easy. She really wanted to, but there was always something wrong.<\/p>\n<p>I tried everything. Name a device, and I bought it for her. Did the coils,<br \/>\nwicks, cleaning, keeping them filled. Nope. After a while she fell back to<br \/>\nsmoking. Too big. Too small. Too complicated. Too much nic. Too little nic.<br \/>\nToo harsh. Too smooth. Too much leaking. She doesn&#8217;t care about the<br \/>\ntechnology. It just needs to work. And it didn&#8217;t do the trick for her.<\/p>\n<p>At some point I was deep into advocacy, giving presentations to politicians and<br \/>\nhealth care professionals. &#8220;Vaping works!&#8221; I really managed to turn some folks<br \/>\naround. Yet I always had to think &#8220;except for my wife&#8221;. So I doubled down on my<br \/>\nefforts.  <\/p>\n<p>Maybe the DNA40 or the DNA75 will do it. Or the SX Mini. Maybe the Juul.  The Kayfun<br \/>\n3 &#038; 4.  The Von Erl. The Lemo II. (that almost worked). The Siren. Nope. I tried<br \/>\neverything under the sun, but the last 6 months she was back to 100% smoking.<\/p>\n<p>I did a last ditch effort 2 weeks ago. She had a bad cold, and the smoking *really*<br \/>\ndidn&#8217;t help. I saw an opening, did my research (again) and bought her the Coolfire<br \/>\nMini 4 with the Zenith and Plexus coils. <\/p>\n<p>You may be familiar with that Platform&#8230; <\/p>\n<p>I talked her through it (again). She&#8217;s a busy person, but I forced her to sit down<br \/>\nand try all the air &#038; power settings. I finally set it on one single air hole and I<br \/>\nsaw a kind of &#8220;aha&#8221; in her eyes after trying. We settled on 11W.  <\/p>\n<p>Haven&#8217;t heard her since but she&#8217;s vaping away happily and not buying cigs. She also<br \/>\nknows she doesn&#8217;t need me to fill it, or to change coils. She can buy replacement<br \/>\nitems in every vape shop in the world. Not having to ask me anything is a big part<br \/>\nof the deal for her. (I obviously bought her 10 Plexus coils just to be sure)<\/p>\n<p>Is it the final word?  I don&#8217;t know.  But my gut feeling tells me it is.  Who would<br \/>\nhave thunk that MTL designed for the smoker would work eh!  Or factury made coils<br \/>\nthat don&#8217;t taste like ass the first 20 puffs (they truly are amazing).<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll keep you posted in a couple of months, if that would interest you. One could<br \/>\nsay she is a bit of a tough test case.<\/p>\n<p>Cheers,<\/p>\n<p>Theo<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div style=\"padding-bottom:20px; padding-top:10px;\" class=\"hupso-share-buttons\"><!-- Hupso Share Buttons - https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/ --><a class=\"hupso_toolbar\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/buttons\/dot.png\" style=\"border:0px; padding-top: 5px; float:left;\" alt=\"Share Button\"\/><\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\">var hupso_services_t=new Array(\"Twitter\",\"Facebook\",\"Google Plus\",\"Pinterest\",\"Reddit\");var hupso_background_t=\"#EAF4FF\";var hupso_border_t=\"#66CCFF\";var hupso_toolbar_size_t=\"medium\";var hupso_image_folder_url = \"\";var hupso_url_t=\"\";var hupso_title_t=\"From%20Theo\";<\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/js\/share_toolbar.js\"><\/script><!-- Hupso Share Buttons --><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey Phil (Pete&#8230;), Just a quick (well&#8230;) message about the Zenith.
