I have been vaping for close to 2 years now and just recently heard about "competition vaping". Seriously? I mean ..., who can blow the biggest clouds? That is just down right asinine. People started vaping to get off the analogs and now it is being turned into a competition about who can Blow Bigger. If anything it will screw us regular vapers who quit or are trying to quit smoking and stay off the analogs. Big brother is going to come in and think it is just some game and shut everything down vape related. While we are at it let's start a competition for the smokers and see who dies first from cancer. Competition vaping... Such garbage.
Hobbyists are enjoying their hobby with one another and having a friendly competition without bothering or harming anyone. Who cares if they are having cloud contests. Is this harming or effecting you in anyway? You remind me of those old people in home owners associations who have nothing better to do but to complain about what others are doing.

If people are doing something legally and not disturbing others, let them be.

Don't know how it is in the US but in the UK most cloud chasers are not former smokers but people getting into "clouding" as the new thing and is playing into the hands of those who claim over here that ecigs are encouraging people to take up something they wouldn't of otherwise. Personally if vaping had been legislated and we all knew where we stood I couldn't care less what people do but vaping isn't certain for a lot of people so some care is needed. After all did any of us have "who can blow the biggest smoke" competitions when we smoked.

if and on till these extreme vaping competitions start getting inline with
organisations such as NASCAR and the hundreds of other organisations
for what ever competition, they will be dogged for not having any set rules and regulations.
if they can't or won't do it themselves,govment will do it for them.
the very reason you can can get a license for flying.parachuting and scuba diving is because these groups
made there own rules when it became apparent that the govment was going to stick their noses
in it.

Very mature comment.

Lol, I apologized for that comment but since you seem to be offended by everything I said I will apologize to you too, sorry. My whole rant is the fact that there is a competition to begin with. I mean, don't you have anything better to do? I know if I told my wife that I had to build the best coil ever so I could go to the local b&m to have a "cloud competition" with some kids, forget what she would say or do, you realize how ridiculous that sounds? Hey man, you wanna go hang out and do yadayadayada. Nah man, I got a cloud comp that I have been preparing all week for. .... But then again, to each his own right?

I'm OK with it to be honest. Whatever hobby is out there, there will be people that enjoy taking it to the extreme.

I disagree that these people will screw anyone, least of all 'regular' vapers. In fact, I'd go as far to say that often these people help move the industry along and allow companies to innovate and improve the everyday equipment 'ordinary' vapers use.

Think of some of the improvements in equipment over the last year or so - I truly believe some of them have come directly from the cloud chasers and people that push the envelopes.

I don't dislike these people any more than I dislike people who participate in motor sports for example.

That's true; alot of the innovations that the manufactures do are guided by what comes out of the cloud chasing, just as with the earlier days of cars, alot of the developments were guided by what came out of the racetrack.

Don't you have anything better to do? This whole thread is a complete joke. You just confirmed it.
And btw, I've never been to any cloud competition. I'm just tired of people like you sticking their nose in other people's business and passing judgement.

I too think the competitions are silly but too each their own. I don't begrudge people what they feel like turning into a competition. It's really no sillier than competitive dog shows, card tournaments or any other hobby that gets turned into a form of competition. Sometimes it's just better to keep opinions to one's self.

Anybody have some butter for my popcorn? I'm too lazy to walk back to the concession stand.

Haha I don't know but if there isn't someone could have a pretty funny marketing campaign for it. :lol:
