Hey all! I'm new to these forums and it already seems to be a supportive community. I learned about vaping a few months ago and just recently ordered my first vv x6 battery. The starter kit cost around $40. Seemed like a good enough deal. I also picked up a few juices from Zeus juice during their cyber Monday sale. Only thing that may be odd here: I've never smoked a single cigarette in my life. vaping just seems like something fun to do to pass the time. All the videos I've watched show people enjoying it so much, so I thought I'd give it a go. Is this completely odd to you? All there others out there like me? Just tell me what you think!

It's not unheard of for non-smokers to take up vaping. There's even a few folks who started vaping "tasty" e-juices to help with weight loss. Some people treat it as a hobby, others just do it because it looks cool. Just remember to drink more water than you are probably used to, and pick up biotene mouthrinse to keep your gums healthy and hydrated.

Edit: The reason for this is the hygroscopic property of VG and PG (e-juice's main ingredients), it pulls water from the atmosphere and also from the tissues in your mouth.

If I'd found out about 0 nicotine e-cigs without being a smoker, I probably would have started using them. Some of the flavors are incredibly tasty, and vaping cake, chocolate, or cereal flavors are cheaper than eating those things. 0 calories doesn't hurt either.

i personally cant fathom why someone would vape if they've never smoked. i see why someone would want to vape compared to smoking, its just much less of a health risk.

as far as folks 'enjoying' it on some video, how many of them were smokers? maybe they are enjoying not killing themselves with tobacco...thats what i enjoy about vaping. its helping me just quit cigs, because if i crave one..i vape.

Most helpful reply so far! Thanks a lot!
 
Glad to hear that you went with nic-free juice.

Really, a non-smoker taking up vaping seems really strange to me, but different strokes for different folks, eh? Maybe another (and maybe less expensive) hobby would be a better fit - have you tried learning to juggle? I'm just messin' - although juggling is indeed great.

Why do people take up cigarettes when they've never done it before?

Oh, snap! Hahahahaaa!

If you continue to be open about being a non-smoker before starting to vape, you'll need to develop a thick skin. A lot of members here are somewhat close-minded when it comes to people vaping without a prior nicotine addiction (even if they are using 0 nic juice). As vaping becomes more mainstream, hopefully those kind of attitudes will diminish.
