I know 2 people but they are just into the cigalikes. The one guy refuses to try anything but menthol (it has to claim to be Newport) though I have offered him the chance to taste test any flavor of mine he wants. His preference but I think he is missing out.

I know 2 1/2 people. Two people I know fully vape using egos/clearomizers. The 1/2 person is someone who has been an on and off smoker and hated the fact that when she breaks down during a stressfull moment, she has to go back to cigarettes and has to start the quitting process all over again. I gave her my old EGO battery and a 50ml of juice that the company accidentally sent me the wrong flavor (they sent me menthol, and I hate menthol). they shipped me the correct juice later, but told me to keep the other bottle. so, I gave her 2 of my old CE5's, a 900MaH battery, one of my charging cables, the 50ml of juice and told her never to smoke another cigarette again. :) so far, she hasn't.

Now, I quoted that menthol response because one of the vapers I know, vapes methol flavors. When I ordered some new juice from Mt. Baker Vapor, I added "menthol flavoring" to my selection. I gave the menthol flavoring to her, and now ANY flavor can be menthol.. just put a few drops in the bottle and shake, and wallah, it's menthol. It allows her to try any flavoring and still get that menthol taste. Imagine blueberry menthol, caramel menthol, strawberry menthol....or...heaven forbid....bacon menthol........

I didn't pay much attention to vapors before I started. Since I have, I realized I was late to the party. At both a recent wedding and co-ed baby shower, (???) I was amazed at how many of my friends and others were vaping. I was actually shocked! I'd say I personally know at least 30 people that vape, actual friends or family. Not counting all those I casually know at the B&M's.

I work at a "vape friendly" store and my wife actually got me into it. Since I have been leaving my Zmax lay around in sight of the patrons I have met several ppl who vape. And this is in a town of 1200 ppl! So I think they we are all over!

​edited to add... try my best not to vape in front of the customers and go to the back to actually vape, but I still smell better than the smokers!

When I first started vaping last year, I didn't personally know anyone else who vaped. I had one co worker who bought a Blue disposable just for kicks and he let me try it. That got me interested, I found this site, made a few bad purchases, a lot of good ones, and in two weeks I was able to switch completely from smoking to vaping. I immediately introduced my sister to it and she has made the switch except for her morning smoke and occasional smoke while drinking.

Until January of this year when I changed jobs, I had only run across maybe one or vapors in the wild. I was pleasantly surprised to meet a fellow vapor on the first day at my new job. I'm now on site at an industrial facility, and I share office space with six other people. Three of the six are vapors. The guys from the field who come in the office call them our Hookah pipes. We've been told that our vaping improves the smell in our building. Based on my limited experience, vaping seems to be popular with those who work in industrial construction.

I Don't know anyone in Real life that vapes. Except for the guys at my local B&M. I Tried to get my friend vaping with me the same day I started, (Bought him a knock off Ego) and he still prefers the Lung hit on cigarettes and cigars. he only vapes if he has no money to buy smokes, or if we're going to the shop.

I've met a few people on Reddit who live in my City that vape, but we haven't "Met up" yet, or whatever. My girlfriend vapes with me though, which is cool. Yesterday I got the five pawns sample pack in, and we both sat around for a good 2 hours trying the flavors and stuff. so that's pretty cool
