Hello from Portugal

[Ohmsy]

Just wanted to say hello to the community. I'm British but based in Porto,the vaping scene here is quite small but there have been a few converts made and so, we are growing...slowly.
I'm very interested in vaping advocacy, as general perceptions here in Portugal about vaping here are very bad.
So if you're about give me a shout.

Cheers

Hi Ohmsy and welcome to the forum - I'm British, based in France, and the vaping scene has really taken off here over the last couple of years both online and shops sprouting up all over the place ! I wish you every success in your efforts to change the perception of vaping in Portugal which I imagine stems from the same scaremongering as elsewhere.

Hello Maytwin, many thanks for your welcome. Yes, it is still growing here as I see very few vapers 'in the wild' in Porto/Portugal in general. We also have a few dedicated shops around the city, those that arrived in shopping centres selling expensive egos and Chinese tanks and liquids have all gone over a period of 6 months. Yes, you are correct there has been a massive attack in the popular press about all the usual dangers of vaping. I am regularly told by many people at parties or meeting socially that what i'm doing is more dangerous than smoking. This public perception plus huge tax rises of juice is what has prompted me to join this forum, as i often feel isolated in a sea of ignorance.
Nice to meet another vaping-expat!!

Hi and thanks for the welcome.
Maybe, but they say the money is in the honey. Seems DIYing juice really is a fun hobby.

Welcome aboard Ohmsy! Thanks for your concern regarding advocacy.
I've noticed a few Portugal-based members here...but I'm having a senior moment and can't recall any names.

I'm from Porto too, join the forum today trying to get some answers. I think we need more shops with informed people who can help us, nowadays everyone is just trying to survive in the jungle, many people got the ego's for a while but the get back in analogs.
