It's almost Christmas! That wonderful occasion to gather the whole family around a light meal and chat together about this and that, like politics and the weather outside.
As eclectic as the starter buffet of salmon / foie gras / oysters / carrot sticks / hummus / surimi, personalities meet at the table… and also step away from the table to go smoke outside in the cold.
When you were little, the adults told you they were going outside to find Santa Claus. Now you know the smoky truth.
Speaking of "present," have you thought about all the gifts? No more giving them a salt dough ashtray or a pretty lighter to add to their collection. Here, we want these Christmas dinners to last for many more years.
A round-up of the most stubborn smokers:
The great-uncle who smokes 2 packs of unfiltered Gitanes
There's a good chance he started smoking during his military service. He even has his little anecdotes: « Back then, the army used to supply us with cigarettes! »
He promised to quit once he finishes the renovations at home… but they've been going on since 2009. So, a little nudge would be most welcome.
Santa's setup?
A super simplified e-cigarette with a greeeat battery life (because he'll forget to charge it at night) and nicotine salt e-liquids at 20 mg/ml to satisfy his irresistible urge to smoke. Classic flavor, of course!
For him:
Vaporesso Armour G MTL Kit
Because, inevitably, he will drop it (several times). He will take it to the garage to tinker around in the dust. He will leave it outside in the rain. In short, it needs to be an e-cigarette capable of withstanding the tough life he'll put it through.
On that note, Vaporesso created the Armour range, and this easy-to-use pod offers excellent battery life and exemplary durability.

Puissant E-liquid by Minimal at 20 mg/ml
To make him forget his heavy smoker habits, you need to bring out the big guns: the Puissant by Minimal is a strong classic with nicotine salts. Go straight for 20 mg/ml.

The aunt who has proudly been wearing sequins and rhinestones since the 80s
The glitter trend had time to fade… but most importantly, to come back. It's her moment! A visionary, she told you all along that glitter would return.
So what better way to make up for once criticizing her fashionista wardrobe than to give her an e-cigarette and an e-liquid in her image, and admit that yes, she was right? It will be her most beautiful gift.
For her:
Voopoo Argus G3 Kit
An easy-to-use pod, a rhinestone dial, good battery life and a practical everyday format.

Your older cousin who smokes Vogue cigarettes
Nonchalant and elegant, auntie glitter's daughter smokes long, slim cigarettes "because there's less tobacco," while knowing deep down that they're just as harmful and addictive as "real cigarettes."
She started smoking because at the time it projected the image of a free and independent woman. But today, she views this habit with less glamour and would genuinely like to quit for good.
For her:
Kit Nexi One LVD x Aspire
Let's keep it elegant and simple with the LVD and Aspire Nexi One Dual Kit. This e-cigarette contains two ultra-slim vapes, allowing you to vape on two different flavors. It all works with pre-filled pod cartridges and slots back into the powerbank case for hours of vaping without recharging.

NexiOne Dual Cartridges by Aspire
With its 27 flavors in different nicotine strengths, the hardest part will be making a choice.

The cousin who went all-in on crypto and has been smoking a lot more for the past year
Not so long ago, no one would have bet that he'd start smoking — he who saved every euro to put into his Ledger key you gave him last Christmas.
It was a rough year. You even thought he'd joined a religion (But who is this Archbishop making predictions?). Between euphoria and deep depression, the temptation of a pack of cigarettes proved too strong.
For him:
GeekVape Aegis Legend 5 Kit
To help him, encourage him, and also show him that investing in his health (and the long term) matters, what better than steering him toward an e-cigarette with a touch of gold (safe haven asset).

Gum Bull 100 ml E-liquid – Baby Bear
An e-liquid with an evocative name that will remind him of the best moments of his year. Chewing gum and energy drink flavor.

The young cousin in higher education who smokes "occasionally" a pack per night out
She'll proudly tell you she'll never fall into the trap of cigarette addiction, that she only smokes occasionally with friends at parties, never during the day.
But she lives at night and has the schedule of a student party minister: Tuesday night because classes start at 11 a.m. the next day, Thursday night because it's happy hour, Friday to celebrate the weekend, and Saturday… because it's Saturday. Even if youth must have its day, you can see where this is heading.
For her:
JNR x Fighter Fuel Puff Shisha Plus 28K
A rechargeable JNR Shisha Plus puff, with great e-liquids made in France and replaceable pods — more economical and more eco-friendly.
See the JNR x Fighter Fuel Puff Shisha Plus 28K
JNR X Fighter Fuel Shisha Plus 28K Pod Cartridge
Designed to last, the Shisha Plus cartridge is replaceable and its e-liquids are also sold individually.

The grandfather who enjoys smoking his pipe by the fireside in the evening
Everyone waits for his little evening ritual. Once the day is done, this grandfather relaxes in his armchair by the fire, with his pipe and his tobacco with its distinctive smell.
Slightly less harmful than cigarettes, the pipe is nonetheless not without risk, and his doctor strongly advised him to stop. Since no one dares to deprive him of this comforting moment, he needs a healthier alternative.
For him:
The Kamry E-Pipe P6
Here is the pipe 2.0 designed by Kamry: an electronic pipe with 1100 mAh, with a draw, weight and balance that best mimics the traditional pipe.
