I agree 100% . Sensible behavior will win the day. My problem is I see 100% more bad vaping behavior by people using cigalikes or ego kits. But where's all the "ego users will destroy vaping " threads? There are none. Plenty of fingers being pointed at cloud chasers though. Im not even a cloud chaser and I'm offended. 1 example was given of a cloud chaser ruining things.....and we had to go all the way to a pub in England to get it. If it were such a rampant problem, this thread would be full of examples....instead we have hypotheticals from some amateur fortune tellers.

You know it just goes to show how stupid the anti vaping parties that be are.
If they really want have a chance of making people quitting vaping.
They would say..................
" after numerous studies on lab rats vaping definitely makes your man parts smaller" :D :lol:
Guys will be vaping and looking down their trousers at the same time.
Lol oh wow, the impotentcy part never scared me when I smoked.....
But smaller man parts :facepalm:

The eGo users are going to destroy vaping because they are exploding all the time.

I'm kind of amazed that wasn't a reason also blamed on cloud chasers. Everyone knows you have to sub-ohm to get clouds and although there's no reports in the news those people must be exploding too.

DC2, where are you seeing this ? I'm not new to vaping and I've still never seen people cloud chasing in the middle of the mall or grocery store....library......park. I've seen people vaping. I've even seen some with advanced equipment like a provari/ kayfun or Vamo with a Nautilus. I think of dripping with a mech when someone says " big ol obnoxious clouds". Never seen that in the wild. Those guys are in vape shops or meets somewhere. They're damn sure not sitting in front of a computer starting threads like "standard ohm vapers are sissies" or "pro tank users cause global warming" or "small cloud blowers are gonna get eliquid banned for all of us". Divide and conquer....oldest strategy in the book. It seems to still be working. How unfortunate for all of us VAPERS. Yes, thats an all inclusive word....VAPERS. Strange concept, I know.
I'm not really seeing it.
My comment was based on the assumption that such people exist.

I'm not sure why it's hard to imagine such people exist though.
The world is full of jerks, and I imagine some of them vape.

I did once see a guy who must have been about 18 years old vaping in a movie ticket line.
He blew one fairly big cloud, but blew it upwards, and he was already taller than everyone else.

I thought that was kind of a jerk thing to be doing.
But I'm not positive he didn't do it accidentally.

There are always wackjobs and numbwits. Whenever someone gets their panties in a twist over x issue where x isn't really an issue, I think of this ...

» Obama Trendies Want Mandatory Helmets For Walking Alex Jones' Infowars: There's a war on for your mind!

Or alternately, I start discussing the health issues of dihydrogenmonoxide. If you can really get someone going on that one and then explain what it is, well, I'm easily amused. Guess there was one town that actually started to try to ban dihydrogenmonoxide! Yeah, good luck there.

And then I kick back and relax. Things have been worse, things will get better, or not. Vaping is a big deal to us, but most people don't care one way or another. My own guess is that vaping is going to end up like pipe and cigar industry, at least on the regulatory side. Which wouldn't be such a bad position to be in. Standards for cleanliness and purity of contents, not a bad thing. Even having minimal standards on mods, as in if it's CE or UL rated, you know it meets a certain standard, again not a nightmare. (And you could still buy mechs, but there would be a clear difference.)

Insofar as doing it in public, guess I come from a harsher world where violations get you killed, not just frowned at. I can be frowned at. I don't care. Frown away. As vaping swamps analogs (and even ecigs) clouds will overcome smoke in people's minds when they see a puffy white thing in the air. THAT is when vaping is going to become generally acceptable.

But it takes time. The biggest advantage is how easy it is to build and make this stuff. It's really hard to ban a substance that's commonly available at every C store. Even the equipment is really hard to ban, because the most basic form, a coil with a wick on top of a high performance battery is just not that hard to make.

Which was my point on another thread. When you have simple tools available everywhere in plain sight (and if you don't know what they are, you won't recognize them) and substances just wandering around in the wild for anyone of age to buy, it gets impossible to ban. It's not like hemp or poppies. This stuff is everywhere. Sure you can require people to wear helmets while walking or ban dihydrogenmonoxide, but it's not going to actually happen no matter what legislators or regulators would like to think. They're not omnipotent.

Now I'm not saying don't stand up and defend vaping, far from it. But hysterical panic does not help. Besides which, staying totally calm, civilized and polite makes the whackjobs furious. That's too much fun. The more they froth and foam at the mouth, the better. Then they look like idjits trying to ban water.

The beauty of the internet forum is that it is hard to prove anything so you can make whatever statement that you want

How can I put this politely - there are members of this forum who will do their best to welcome everyone - unless they turn out to be trolls. Then we should stamp on them. Hard. :)

All too true. I'm a JFK fan, and if the misinformation was removed from just the assassination forums, the overall volume of the internet would be decreased by 20%. True fact I just made up.

But to the OP and original topic, people will have their perceptions and beliefs, based on whatever. Remember in history when Europe was ready to ban that new red veg/fruit from the new world because it was perceived to be poisonous.

I'm glad they didn't. I like tomato.

(Hi, Anja!!)

But they are poisonous; they have NICOTINE!!!1!!

Sorry guys, couldn't help myself... ;)
