If you get one don't use any nicotine on it. It's useless addiction. Usually people start vaping because they want to quit smoking and they find that better option. But there is no point in starting to vape if you are not addicted. But if you must get one then don't put nicotine on it so you don't get addicted for no reason.

hi @StealthVape96 and welcome to the forum. I doubt there is an easy way to do this. But.... (there's always a but)... Why not just try the truth, like you just told us? You made a wise decision getting off the cigs. The second part will be in educating them, as some people are rather uninformed.

Ok so I've been vaping for a long while now, just over a year and I still don't think my parents know that I vape. I used to smoke for a little while socially and then just an average smoker for a little while. After two or three months of smoking I finally decided to try and tame my addiction and got onto vaping.

Just be honest, my son used to smoke and really had a hard time quitting. I would have rather had him vape than smoke.

Honesty is the best policy. I started smoking when I was about 16. A year later my dad found out. He was more disappointed I have kept it from him than he was I was smoking. Just tell him. He'll be angry and upset to start with but ultimately you are his child... he will forgive you eventually
