That's a good response!
I think the situation touches on one of the fundamental reasons why vaping is a slow take for some people. It's weird that people concern themselves with what something like smoking, or for that matter vaping, looks like, but they do and it can be a hangup for a while. I remember two years ago that I was put off by the larger (more powerful) mods, and thought I wanted something that looked like a real cigarette. I thought about it and realized how silly that was. The whole point was that I was trying to get away from cigarettes... replacing it with a similar aesthetic doesn't actually make sense, but it is a very important baby step for some people. When I talk with people about vaping I remember that I am representative of this experience to people, and being mindful of that odd quirk can be helpful.
I had to experiment to be able to clearly define what I want from my experience. I had to define the reason I was using it in the first place (I want a system that delivers nicotine to my system with as few health risks as possible, and I want it to taste good) and then I had to define how I want the system to work (I want something that has a very low chance of failure and requires few proprietary replacement parts). I use a Puresmoker V3 and I get odd looks at first, then eventually I get lots of questions as people get more interested. It doesn't surprise me anymore that one of the first few comments is in reference to it looking or feeling odd.
he had it coming.
