High Watts + RDA + Mech = Self Righteous?

[Lessifer]

I think there's a bit of a divide between those who picked up vaping because they wanted an alternative to smoking, and those who may have smoked, but have gotten into vaping for let's say the social aspect of it. That's a generalization and of course won't fit all cases. There are cloud chasers in both of those groups, and there are cigalike/ego/clearo users in both groups too.

I think someone who has tried to quit cigarettes before by any means is usually more in line with the attitude of "as long as it keeps you from smoking."

The great thing is, it's a big wide world and there's a place for each of us. If someone looks down on you for what you vape, so be it, you're not vaping for them.

I'm just gonna sit over here in my little corner, learning all I can. I have never judged anyone on their particular choices on anything! Why should vaping be any different! You like apples, I like oranges!!

The only thing I take issue with is those who refuse to learn how to do what they choose to do safely. That applies to everyone. If you're using an ego, learn how to care for you batteries, and how to tell if your charger has a high probability of making it explode. If you're using a mech and building low sub-ohm builds, learn what your batteries can safely handle, and how to build a proper coil.

I have a lot of vape shops in my area, and they are becoming more and more cloud-based.
Most of them are staffed by young men who chase those clouds.

Is there any particular reason you frequent those establishments? -- Even though a few brick and mortars have popped up even in my own backwater and not-so-far-away locations, I still consider the vendors I've done business with online and who have treated me so well for the last 4 + years to be "my community". If I have a choice between giving my money to Ben at AVE .. or maybe Isaac.. or maybe Drew.. or maybe Mark... vs whatever guy used to have a cell phone kiosk in the mall and who now is jumping on the vaping quick buck bandwagon, I will do business with all of those folks who have treated me right this whole time. --- I know a lot of people are "turn around shop in town" ... "support your local mom-n-pop" ... "what you spend here stays here" sort of folks and I'm A-OK with that. But, I think my point might be that you have a lot of really good choices as a vape consumer that don't include having to feel like you're forced to deal with condescending jerks.

I don't frequent any vape shops.

I go there to educate the owners and employees on...
--The issues that vapers face
--The need to join CASAA and/or SFATA and encourage their customers to do so as well

But my concern is not about whether or not I'm comfortable in such vape shops, as noted previously I don't care about all that.
My concern is about how a potential vaper who just wants to quit smoking will feel, and what equipment will be recommended to them.

I have a few rdas a couple mechs, regulated box and a kayfun. Apparently I'm all over the place ha. I like the simplicity of a mech, the control of the regulated, the flavor of the kayfun and the Vapor production of my sub ohm. It's all just whatever you want to do.

I'm in the same boat.

Me too. I have 1 mech, 2 vv/vw, a kayfun, some iClear's, and a few drippers. I love dripping and getting big clouds when I'm at home but when I'm out I take the Kayfun or something so I can stealth vape when I need to. I don't hate on anyones setup. To each their own.
