Do you like to compare your PV to other people's in public?

[paulw2014]

I wonder if any of you guys take pride in your gear, just like someone would with their car. I mean, like buying aftermarket drip tips or accessories, etc...going for high end, good looking stuff, etc....

I've never really thought about this when I used my EGO, as it was strictly a tool for quitting smoking, but ever since I got a mechanical mod, I started to have pride in my gear. And when I look at a newbie with their EGO or starter kit I always think "oh that's nice, but look at mine..."

I tend to avoid it, but my cousin does that. He always has the latest thingamajigger.

Just keep in mind that some people (like me) aren't interested. We like our basic setup for its simplicity.

That's what makes B&M's so much fun

 

[supertrunker]

i take the view that anything you do to keep off tobacco is a win, and i don't much care if you vape an Ego - a Provari - or anything else.

Last trip, when I was in a land of vapers, a number of people wanted to see my ProVari and PV-1s because they are rare in Europe. My ProVari is full of beauty marks. It is a tool to me. Scratches, fading paint, a dented bottom cap from a fall; none of it bothers me. I use my gear... I buy drip tips for function and country of origin, not looks...

well, I went off and spent $30. bucks on an 8 inch pipe stem... nobody to watch me.. at my age
all my friends and loved ones have gone on ahead of me...
But that doesn't mean that I can't watch myself set back and put that pipe stem in my Nautilus or Kayfun
and no longer have to suck on some plastic or metal drip nipple... nope!
I really enjoy taking a nice draw or two and enjoy the aroma and soft white clouds and flavor in abundance
and wonder why so many people pay such high prices for vaping equipment and haven't found this joy.
Just a simple pipe stem... and peace and pleasure in abundance. Yep! Life can be good if i'll let it.

Well said my friend. Well said.

i prefer to compare my thingy to others in private.

 

[gel drops]

for the most part I'll leave my equipment at home if I took it out people would say what in the world is that idiot smoking!

 

[Equilibrium]

I tend to keep my thingy to myself unless someone ask's to check it out.

. And when I look at a newbie with their EGO or starter kit I always think "oh that's nice, but look at mine..."

If I saw someone with an EGO in their hand, I'd want to go up to them and shake their hand for taking that first step.

As the risk of sounding cliche " It's not the size of the tool but how you use it "

Not everyone with a Ecig is in it for the hobby aspect. For many it's a means to an end. Nothing more

What he said!

Some people don't care. My wife is one of them. She thinks I'm crazy buying all the mods and tanks and drippers. She's perfectly happy with her spinner and Mini pro tank 2.

 

[C.M. Wilson]

I only whip mine out to strike up conversations with attractive ladies. Otherwise, I don't care what some guy is vaping on etc.

 

[Jett.]

I honestly don't flaunt it, more so I explain why I went this route with vaping equipment. I still love the simplicity of ego style setups, but my mech is just as simple per say.

It isn't a competition in my eyes.

 

[DetraMental]

I take pride in all my stuff since it was my cold hard cash that bought it. It doesn't matter if it's my lil' V2's from my starter kit all the way up to my Provari I take care of them all the same. I never much thought about what other people would think. This is the only place where people know anything about pv's/apv's so I have no one to show them off to anyway.

 

[grandmato5]

I'm just happy to see other people vaping, so it makes no difference to me what they are using. If people ask abt the PV I'm using I'm happy to answer their questions but honestly I use what I enjoy, it makes no difference to me what anyone else thinks about my PV's.

 

[wheelie]

I could not care a less what others have. I have never been a "must have what the Jones have" kinda guy. I prefer to be the guy people look at and say. Wow that looks vintage. People may snicker at me with my eGo-C's at work and being stealthy but I know what I have in the truck and at home on my vape stand.

 

[jwag1973]

Not so much for me. I primarily use mech's/rebuildables, don't honestly care what's working for others. I do still use an ego on occasion with an IBtanked tank and enjoy that as well. If another vapor asks what I have, I'll show and explain what I'm using. Not to worried about who's got what!

 

[JustB'nMe]

As much as I like my current setup, I don't show it off or do comparisons. I'm not around many vapers but even if I were I would only discuss it if I'm asked about it. That's mainly because it's not a status symbol for me, just about staying off analogs.

Live well, Love hard, Laugh often & Vape on!
