Mods in the Wild

[Kemosabe]

how many of you folks see people vaping mods out in public? im wondering how long it will be before a mod vaper sighting is a common occurrence. maybe it already is in your neck of the woods. around here (RI), a cigalike spotting is common. an ego sighting is not nearly as common but i do see someone with one maybe once a month tops. mods for me are few and far between. ive seen only two vapers with mods in my two+ years of vaping (outside of a vape meet).

the way i see it, the public will advance along the same path as i did. which was: start with a cigalike, move onto egos, then mods. i expect the general public to progress along the same path. and right now my general public is transitioning from stage 1 to stage 2 vaping, so to speak. i know that not everyone necessarily moves from cigalikes to egos, then mods. some folks are fine with the first two. but i think enough vapers do indeed arrive at the mod stage and i expect to see them cropping up any month now.

so, what kind of vapers are you guys seeing in your necks of the woods'?

See others vaping all the time. In fact it wouldn't surprise me any if there were more vapors than smokers here. There are almost as many places here that sell vaping supplies as cigarettes, and quality gear is everywhere.

Lots of ego's.

VV eGo & Vamo class PV's the most, but Provari's and mechanicals are not uncommon.

Gotta remember that Utah was one of the first states to tax the hell out of cigarette, and pass a clean air act.

I echo the experience with Ego type systems. Every time I visit my B&M's, there's someone in there dragging on a Twist, Spinner or Evod system.

I haven't seen many mods used outside of those stores. The guy who first turned me on to vaping had a home made box mod that he showed me back in March.

About every 2 weeks I see someone with a mod. In fact, I don't think I've seen anyone with a cig-a-like and very few eGos.

Where I live eGo's are quite common, and mods are not uncommon. I have my mech/RBA with me all the time, and rarely does anyone ask what it is, nearly everyone knows. Vaping is allowed in all the bars here, and I see others vaping often. There are half a dozen vape stores here too, although a couple of them I would not recommend to anyone.

On the whole vaping is very common here, and catching on fast. The Circle K on the corner sells the Blu and other cig-alike things, and they say they are selling a lot of them. Hopefully those who try them will move on to something better, instead of just chucking them and going back to analogs.

Ive been the mod in the wild alot! Ive had vapors come up and ask to see what Im vaping. They have cig alikes or egos, and want to check out my mod.

thats great to hear that vaping is catching on rapidly down in Naples. i visit Naples from time to time and next time i go i'll surely be adding to the mod population

I just moved to Salt Lake Utah for some training, and vaping is fairly common here compared to what I'm used to. I have a few classes that last for hours so we usually get a 10 minute break. I go outside to blaze, and see all sorts of people using various mods. It's pretty awesome.

This has been my experience walking around UCR. The only time I see mods regularly (other than the Titan I keep in my pocket) is when I visit a vape shop. The one closest to UCR that I go to, everybody there has pretty decent mech mods.
The few people I've seen vaping and actually talked to besides the people in shops are usually just on egos and "trying this vaping thing" I'm still looking to run into some random person and start talking about RDAs lol

 

[jrs99]

There's a couple guys at another office I've seen with Provari's but other than that just cig-a-likes.
I was watching an episode of Gordon Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares a few weeks ago and noticed the old lady running the restaurant was carrying a pink ego with what looked like a CE4 on it.

I live in Upstate South Carolina and have never seen a vaper 'in the wild' (other than at the one local shop).

The people I work with had never seen anything other than a disposable (and probably half of them had never even seen that). And this is among the smokers!

Among the non-smokers, probably 90+ percent had never heard of e-cigs before.

I ya Gordon Ramsay!!!!

(oops, wrong thread. oops! wrong forum!)


Kemo, out in the wild is away from vape stores or vape meets to me. Here in LA, in the non-wild welp, you know what we see. Massive amounts of mech mods, low to subohmers, and cloud contests. Even with all the vapers here, I'm usually the only one with a box mod and a (gorgeous) carto tank, or even a DNA20.

In the wild tho, it's Ego city with clearos as toppers. (Hey, it's LA... everyone's got an EGO...)

 

[rbeckys8]

no mods here...

 

[TorontoJay]

It's just starting to catch on where i live - i see a few Egos here and there a single solitary Provari (save my own) in the wild - held by an older lady with a GG Ithaka. Awesome.
