I saw 5 vapers today while out and about....

[BreSha6869]

I was really suprised to see 5 people at different times/locations vaping outside today.

I have never seen more than 1-2 people vaping during a day.... usually zero.

Maybe it's Christmas gifts or from New Years resolutions, but I thought it was pretty interesting that I saw so many people vaping. Outside the mall, walking into the grocery store, etc.

In any case, a year ago I almost never saw anyone vaping. Maybe times are changing.

Around here its still a rare thing to have "vapor sightings" unless its the front of a vape store. Then its a small "herd" of 4-8 huddled around with either a sort of box mod, or brass mech tube and usually a dripper type of atty. I think Ive only seen one with an RTA.

Usually between 20 to 30 year olds or younger. All blowing large clouds and talking wattage or ohm-age. ( I hate that term)

Once a group saw me vaping a few stores down. Sort of did the "nod" of fellow vaper recognition.

I saw another woman about my age walking by with a pink ego type and little dangle decor hanging off of it and they kinda smiled and giggled after she was a decent distance away.

I wondered if they giggled after I left...

Seeing vapers in the wild is pretty rare but seeing 5 of them is extraordinary! That you saw them in different locations at different times indicates they weren't from the same pack. Vapers tend to be solitary animals. You could have caught them during some migratory pattern that hasn't been documented before. Next time you see one, try to get close enough to study them. Stay away from the larger males, though docile, they can become aggressive if they feel threatened.

I had the great thrill of seeing a herd of bachelor vapers in the wild, searching for mates. Their mating call of "SUB OHM! SUB OHM!" resounded across the landscape as they cast huge clouds around them to confuse the carnivores.

Nature really is majestic.

Myself and one other person in the whole town vape. Granted it is a small town 5000 people but still. I still get stared at and asked all the time what it is.

I think the 5 you saw are celebrating the Chinese New Year. A bit early..

A wild Vaperion appears!

You used Cigalike, it's not very effective...

Vaperion ran away!

I see more vapeheads than smokers around here these days, no surprise here in LA though.

If I see sum1 vaping, it's gonna be some1 with an eGo battery, maybe a T3 or Evod clearo IF they got lucky. But MOST vapers in my area are going to have something more archaic. For example, the average vaper in my area may have a friend that actually VAPES, like we do... The avg. vaper is going to walk-into a gas station asking for an eGo battery kit, on recommendation from a vaping friend of theirs. The gas-station attendant is going to graciously point to the eGo batteries in cardboard backed plastic cases, complete with PC/Laptop USB "charger" and a tendril-fed top-coil no-name/no-brand china-clearomizer. This "kit" is going to cost this "avg-vaper-everyday-joe" $19.99 or $24.99 (depending on how stingy the gas-station owner is) with $2.50rice-Per-Unit (wholesale) on the sticker right underneath it... Not to forget to mention the $9.99:Manufacturer's-Suggested-Retail-Price, next to that PPU. lol.

(something-stinks!)

Now-then, back to the story... So this avg every-day vaper is going to be vaping on their china-made eGo battery with their china-made clearomizer that dry-hits every 4-5 tokes due-to it being top-coil, rather than a BCC (bottom-coil-clearomizer) which we all figured-out was the better/ONLY design, years ago... & this poor kid/guy/gal/whatever is gonna think he/she is the shiet despite the fact we all know it stinks. They could-be enjoying an ego-1-mega regulated mod with the ego-1 tank w/ that same $25-30.00! Don't feel-like doing your research? Yer gun' get jabbed w/a POS eGo package.

The juice they drop down into these things is even worse (whats worse is I gotta vape it, too! lol) IDK what's in the gas-stations in YER necka-da-woods... But we get "Buck Nakkid" here. (Buck Naked) & no disrespect to the BN e-liquid company, but whomever develops yer liquid flavors is tongue-deaf... Apparently they try to be "all natural" with their flavorings, and they promise that none of their e-liquids have issues with chemicals or whatever else people have been worried about being in e-liquid lately... Well their fruit-mix flavor tastes like figs and fermented prunes, & the tobacco flavorings taste like pears and gasoline. I have to say, there isn't many e-liquids I disliked more than Buck Naked's line... & the worst part about it is I actually VAPE them regularly.... #wewontexpandonthatlittleissue lol.

I would love to see some of our top companies get 1 of their mods into 2 top chain gas stations... Right now, I buy Buck Naked from Irving, and Citgo has the eGo battery plastic case kits... It would-be such a refresh to see Citgo, Irving, 7/11 or Cumby's carry the Coolfire4 or even the ItasteVV-stick!!

One can dream..... right? One can dream.... </3
Have a good evening/night everyone, and good vapes.
ENJOY the vape journey, my good friends, & ECF-Family. & Vape em proudly!

Actually, I am pretty sure all 5 vapers I saw were using iStick 30w and 40w which was interesting....

Check out Walgreens. They have Haus Craft Collection 30w sub-ohm kits and juice. So, slowly but surely, we are getting there.

Especially, if you judge them by the size of their mod. lol

Actually, I am pretty sure all 5 vapers I saw were using iStick 30w and 40w which was interesting....

I still have 2 of my 3 i30s working and usually use one most days... if the topper is coiled high enough.
Was out and about yesterday and as usual, brought two setups, a new 0.5 SSOCC head in a Nano on the i30 and a 'Mizer at 0.3 on a VTC.
The i30 is damn nice for size. After several hours use, at the full 30w, it still has a good charge showing (~70% ?).

Eleaf could have ruled the vape world, if their QC dep't didn't have their heads up their backsides.

however, their overly abundant Neck Beards prevented them from finding suitable mates

I agree.... they totally dropped the ball.

I have a 40w iStick and my wife has the 30w. Both solid devices for the $$$. And the battery life is fantastic on both.

 

[Jim_ MDP]

They may sound silly next to my 200w mods, but they have their place... even with me, let alone more modest puffers.

So yes... yesterday, I too was a free range vaper, out in public... spreading my Honeydew scent...

Ladies... how can you resist?

I don't think I will ever be in a position where a beautiful woman sees me vaping and approaches me with a pickup like such as... "Excuse me, are you vaping apple pie flavour?" Or "that smells so sexy... Apricot?"
