I'm a largish guy myself and heavily inked. I keep my arms covered for my corporate IT gig (app developer/systems analyst), but my tattoos go down to my wrists. I was in a vape shop a few days ago, speaking with another big tattooed guy behind the counter. We both agreed we liked the fruity/berry/dessert flavors best.

A co-worker was joking with me and another new male vaper, saying we should be vaping something "manly" like gunpowder and coal dust flavors. This is what's often called a "stereotype".

I don't drink alcohol. When at a bar with friends, I usually order a Shirley Temple. Been doing it for years. I think they taste good.

I love it when the stereotype is smashed, out in the open, but honestly, exactly like when the big tattooed guys are vaping fru fru flavors because we enjoy them most.

It's almost as if vapor flavor is another form of self-expression.

Not exactly sure what I'm trying to get at here. But the thought of big, tough-looking males vaping stereotypically female flavors makes me smile.

This is what bugs me when Media says OMG kids are going to start vaping and all these desserty, fruity flavors are aimed DIRECTLY AT THEM!! One of the first review videos I saw on youtube was a big guy in leather, piercings and embodying BIG MANLINESS reviewing Strawberry Shortcake. I was enchanted.

I only have 4 tattoos, and am not that big lol but I tend to favor the desert and fruity type flavors myself. I've only once ordered a tobacco flavor. That's the nice thing about vaping, the flavors are endless! Unlike stinky cigarettes where you get regular and menthol. I never actually liked the taste of cigarettes anyways, so I don't really miss that part!
