Lol.. you sure about that? :w00t:

Yes, though it may seem different, I am not battery powered.
:p

The only argument I face is vaping in no smoking areas, vaping is not very widespread and the culture is still exclusive to the educated few who know what it is, thousands mind you, but still that security guy at the mall and the regular cab driver don't know, so I just opt to put it in my pocket instead of trying to lecture him on what vaping is and why it's different and shouldn't be banned, sometimes they let it slide out of fear or curiosity, but most times they just say no smoking please

"that makes you look sooo cool!"

Still waiting for that one. But, I'm an optimist.

Hey, you should have been with me two weeks ago at a beer garden in Houston for a party with my daughter's friends on graduation weekend. Nice relaxed crowd. People hanging out with their dogs, ashtrays for smokers so I didn't have to hide my vape, and 50 or so beers to sample. My vape turned out to be really cool to a very attractive barmaid, but hearing her tell my daughter "Your dad has a really cool vape" just wasn't the line I had hoped for.

Exchange with my mother-in-law a few years ago when I started vaping:

Her: "That looks like smoke"
Me: "It's not smoke, it's vapor"
Her: "Well, it looks like smoke so it must be smoke"
Me: "Well, that candy bar you are eating looks like a dog turd, so..."
I just COVFEFE'd myself from laughing.[emoji3]

I get a lot crap for a lot of things I do cause I'm an all in kind of person. I'll take it.. who cares I'm not hurting anyone. People don't like different.

"You're going to blow your face off with that thing"

"I heard those can blow up"

"Those cause pneumonia"

"That has to be bad for you"

"That's just crazy"

"You've lost your mind"

People who smoke and don't want to quit are the worst. It just blows my mind when a smoker says that has to be bad for you cause yea that cig is so healthy, right.
When you "open carry" NOBODY says anything about vaping to you.[emoji379] [emoji2] Heck, they won't even look at you![emoji1]

"I heard that airplanes, cars, motorcycles, knives, guns, snakes, chimpanzees, lions, tigers, tornados, lightning, hurricanes, ebola, cigarettes, alcohol, drain cleaner, gasoline, sharpies, sharks, piranhas, cast iron skillets, golf clubs, baseball bats, disgruntled employees, 12 year old kids, and the common cold can kill you"

If they don't like what is on the tv, then turn the channel like the rest of the world does![emoji2]

10. “What flavour is that – clown farts?”

Is that clown fart flavour
Remember when people claimed the worst thing about smoking was the smell of tobacco?
Well now people complain that e-cigs don’t smell like tobacco. Go figure.

To be fair, I'm pretty sure a clown's farts smell like Kiwi and Banana.......

I just tell them I have done my research and this is how I choose to kill myself, and laugh.
(We ALL know vaping is not smoking, and certainly less harmful them smoking.)
I just change the subject.

"Hey, did you hear that Kim Kardashian broke a nail?"

Works everytime![emoji106]

That's priceless. You are right it is always better to change the subject, my reply was actually for one guy who insisted that it is harmful/dangerous, and worse then smoking.

Haven't read them all but a friend and I got told to;

'Give up like real men'!!!

He was a stranger, clearly a man still gagging for a smoke and annoyed that the future had given us these gizmos to enjoy.
Like Real Men?

Real men aren't going to wine about it because they have a life with priorities and happiness!

He needs to read a book, get a hobby, adopt a dog, or sniff some more glue. Lol
