Sad but true. Kinda like there is probably people on the Farmers Only website who are not actual farmers

The kid looked very young, I found it a bit disturbing to watch. Then again, I started smoking at age 12. What disturbed me the most, I think, was how well versed he was about vaping at such an apparently young age. This left me feeling very conflicted...

His parents probably frequently took him to the local vape cafe...

Back when I was 12 or so (8 years ago lol) I knew way more about battery safety and resistance and amperage limits than most adults and my piers know today. I wanted nothing to do with smoking back then and then going on to lose family members from smoking it furthered my resistance to cigarettes and the like.

But nowadays morals are a lot different, even in my own family. One day I let my mother try out some fruity COPYRIGHTDMCA juice i bought while i visited the restroom, when I came back i found her letting my little sister (11 yr old) try it out, I don't use nic but I still flipped out on her (my mother) because I feel my sis isn't old enough to make an informed choice other than "it tastes good"

TL;DR I don't endorse vaping underage because I feel it lessens the severity of using "other" things and may or may not be a stepping stone for an immature teen

sorry for the rant :p

I thinks parents should more closely monitor what their children post to youtube, in general.

As for kids vaping, some of us who are "passive" about it believe that an activity that we keep telling people is harmless to bystanders, and nearly harmless to the primary user doesn't need to be age restricted. After all, if it isn't safe for "little Johnny," it probably isn't safe for Mary minding her own business in the park, and should definitely be regulated and taxed, for the good of Public Health.

he looks the same age as my 10 yr old.

I was a high school teacher for 20 years. He might be as old as 16 or 17 despite his appearance. He looks and sounds like a freshman to me. I've seen boys who grew a foot in high school, even several inches in one year. I've also had senior boys who came back to visit me a few years later, and I didn't recognize them they had changed so much after high school. Girls are often done growing at 14 or 15, while a lot of boys have barely gotten started. And some people always look young even as adults. Don't be surprised if he started smoking thinking it would make him look older because he gets picked on. I'm assuming by his username that he smokes.

Do I think he's 18? No, I don't.

Granted he looks young, but his voice, mannerisms, and extensive knowledge regarding the equipment he's reviewing doesn't give the impression that he's a 13 year old who bought the stuff on Mommy's credit card just for a lark. I wouldn't be so quick to scream "kid" just because he looks a bit young. He could be in his early 20's for all I know. Regardless, I respect his level of knowledge.

Anyway, to each his own. I don't consider it my place to dictate what people should or shouldn't be doing, so long as they aren't harming others.

Edit...glad I got to see the vid before all the ANTZ-of-a-different-color here get the poor guy banned from youtube. :(

My parents never knew I started smoking at 15. Until I got suspended for walking in class with a lit cig. The thing is we had smoking areas in high school. My art teacher didn't care. The principle just happen to be in the art class at the time. :D Kids will be kids. The problem with technology is that everyone wants to be in each others business.

Judging by his voice and how he mentions he has to go back to work, Im guessing he is 15/16. He might eben be 18 we dont know.

If his parents choose to let him vape big deal, my parents let me smoke when I was about his age. He also might be vaping 0 nic he doesnt say.

How is this disturbing, its not like he is doing anything stupid his batts or builds on a mech. Hes got a good batt and a regu box. He didnt seem like an idiot, but to some of you that is the disturbing part, WHATTTT!!!! So if he was some dumb ... kid doing dumb stuff it would be as "disturbing". That is backwards thinking. If this truly "disturbs" you I.suggest you get off the internet, turn off your tv and sit in an empty room for the rest of your life becauase you'll be really disturbed once you see what happens daily around the world.

Again we.dont know how old he is so dont judge people just because everybody physically matures at different rates.
