Friend is a never smoker; but he wants to start vaping

[Moonlitwish]

vaping is not an expensive habit if you do it right.

Cloud chasing on the other hand IS.

Cloud chasing is to vaping as hot rodding is to driving.

Dont confuse the two.

Expensive is a subjective term. Perhaps I should have said "can be". My car is no hot rod but it costs over $500 per month to own and operate. To me that is so expensive I want to ride my bike to work (not feasible considering my 22 mile commute). I'm no cloud chaser either but I was dropping $120 for 2 people on liquid (before DIY). Think about somebody who didn't already have $200 or so carved out of their budget for tobacco. If I didn't want the nic fix, enjoy the sensation of the inhale and visible exhale, and like vaping as a hobby, I'd say dude that's as much as my cell phone bill, nvm. Too many variables to consider. Friend should be warned about the potential expense.

Vaping is a lot less bad for you than smoking. You would say the same thing if y'all were smoking tho. Oh no you shouldn't start smoking. But seeing as vaping is way less harmful I think it would be a great way for them to get a little nic buzz. It's kinda like if you have a friend who's never drank before. You aren't gonna hand him your strongest bottle of whiskey. But it won't hurt to give him a couple beers his first night out.

I've done many things that were stupid and sometimes my friends would follow me (I'm going straight to hell..)
And with many things i've doubted myself if i should let them or not... In the end i've decided that i can warn them the best i can. If they still want it then i will not stop them, i would even help, so the chance of something going wrong is to a minimum.

I try to be a good guide, whenever they need it.

I have a friend who never smoked in his life but given he hangs around with me and my other friends who are always ripping mods and vape talking he told us he wants to start vaping too. He's asking us for advice on where to start (he wants to go straight into a mech or APV device) Is this generalized as a bad choice? What should I tell him? I don't want to seem like a jerk but at the same time it wouldn't make sense for him to start vaping since he's not a smoker to begin with.

Is he going to use clones or authentics. Will he be using unregulated mechs or regulated boxes. Does he have little children he needs to take into the vape store. Will he be vaping in Walmart?

I would give him the advice he was asking for. It is not my job to think for anyone but myself

You know why you guys didn't just start vaping instead of smoking when you first started consuming nicotine...Because we never had the choice

Finally someone who agrees with me. I agree it's a safer form of nicotine. And people want nicotine. That's why they have always smoked and dipped. I now see vaping as a third option and arguably the safest (certainly more so than smoking)

I have a friend that doesn't smoke, but quite a while ago he bought his father an Ego, his father was quite the smoker. But the father did not like the Ego so my friend used the said Ego.
And thus, starting his vaping journey, started using 12mg Juice. But the sad thing about this is, he started smoking. Leaving vaping behind.
