Do you think vapers get a bad rep??

Okay even I draw the line at fanny packs.
But I encourage other to wear them proudly for my own amusement.
I have a sister in law that still wears one... it's a point of great humor to the rest of the family.
45 years old and I had a level 60+ Cleric in the original Everquest. Been to the planes, all over the place. Fortunately I don't play any games anymore. It was fun though with 60 people online taking out the big mobs. Required a lot of coordination. I don't think the current games are as hard anymore. (I played Guild Wars II and that was - meeh.)
I have no idea how many hours I spent on that, but it was a lot. I sold the char for $500 on ebay when I quit.

I've been trying to convince my wife to start carrying a purse just so i can keep my mod in there when I don't have the proper pockets to put it in. Haha
Yes, I think like anything new, vaping *sometimes* gets a bad rap, and the ONLY reason I care in the slightest is that if it leads to LIMITING my freedom to vape, that's bad. I'll educate people who are interested, but those folks who've already made up their mind? I try to stay away from them, as a conversation isn't going to go anywhere good as I tend to get rather assertive with people like that, and it's just not worth the hassle.
I don't think it's fair to say the safety record of vaping will have been *proven*, completely, until long term use patterns are observed, and if flavoring concerns get worked out. That said, I *do* know my own body and my body's response, and I can legitimately say I feel SO much better already and it's only been 10 days vaping without cigarettes! That being said, I figured a lot of medical professionals I interact with would be dismayed and their response has been uniformly positive... In fact, many ex-smoker health professionals at my PCP's office VAPE, and will show me their vaping equipment, LOL. I wish more of them would SPEAK out, concerning the fact that they support vaping and do it themselves, but I doubt that will happen soon.... A lot of medical providers also HIDE their smoking, and having interacted with a bunch professionally, you're only going to hear about it if they know you well. Most of them are extremely ashamed of being smokers (I certainly was) and kept it quiet, as much as possible, and same goes for vaping, as they are supposed to "know better" as PROVIDERS of medical services and whatnot, but let me tell you, that's an extraordinarily stressful set of careers, and having worked as an ER social worker for a long time, you are going to see paramedics, docs, and whatever else loitering around smoking hastily..... It is what it is.
My dentist is more concerned about my use of Jolly ranchers for dry mouth than vaping (and, I have to say, that dry mouth has improved SIGNIFICANTLY.

i recently purchased what i call a "hip pouch" on Amazon for my equipment. it doesn't hold as much as you probably wanna carry on you, but if you're just toting a box mod, an extra tank, extra batteries, and a bottle of juice it's perfect, and not too unsightly.
what other people think before I left the third grade.
I think the coupe of guys that chain cloud chase here while standing in the middle of the sidewalk definitely give vaping a bad rep. You can see people trying to dodge it and it usually reeks of fruity stuff.
I know. I hate the smell of blueberry first thing in the morning. It just doesn't smell like victory.
I asked my friends who mostly joke with me about it but dont do it. Only myself and One other friend vape but the ones who dont say they are generally annoyed by the people who blow massive clouds in public that just get in peoples way. They understand its a good alternative to smoking but basically cloud chasing in public seems to be obnoxiously annoying to anyone who doesn't vape. I can understand that as well which is why the only time I go at it outside is in my car. Just not blowing massive clouds seems like a common courtesy thing really.
Yep my aunt's doctor actually told her to buy an e-cig to quit smoking. That's not the first time I've heard of doctors recommending e-cigs either. I think the doctors that actually care about their patients know that vaping is safer. It's the money grabbing doctors at the fda that don't care.
Considering my blood pressure dropped, my heart rate dropped, my blood sugar dropped, and I generally feel better. My doctor said it's not good for you either but better than smoking so don't go back to smoking.
Gah! Okay, I know vaping is having a different effect from smoking, because I've been passing out at night WAY earlier than normal.... (Not going to sleep, passing out.) Usually about 1 hr after taking most of my night meds, and it's been *consistent*. Oh joy, I am going to have to try and research *each and every one* of my meds to figure out which ones were affected by pathways that run on tobacco.... and then start experimenting. This is going to be fun (sarcasm), but it DOES tell me that vaping has an immediate, strong effect on at least SOME of my medications and how my body is processing them (more efficiently it seems like, and I am FINE with reducing my dosages, just got to figure out whut/what/which ones).
That doesn't bother me, though it's going to be a PITA to find out... But, it's quite clear that vapes are less of an *interference* device than smoking, which is interesting.... I know some run on the same pathway as smoking, but not ALL of them.
Life's never boring around here, LOL.

As a vaper I am both a douche and a gay, according to the internet apparently. News to me...
Hahaha that's amusing
But seriously cloud chasers do my head in too, they are just foolish. Wasting loads of money on juice...
I see someone come to the store and spend like £100.00 quid on liquid, I mean just diy for Christ's sake if your gonna blast through 60ml in a cloud beast.
& how do they lung hit without dying.
I think it's cos they don't even inhale, you see reviewers on youtube doing it to blow bigger clouds!
They need to stop this fad!
how, exactly, would one lung hit, yet not inhale? That would be a great 'vape trick'.Hahaha that's amusing

You should print up a quick pamphlet explaining how to vape correctly. Perhaps they never learned the correct way to vape.

You inhale when you breath air. You DL when you vape. Why the confusion?
