I have a friend who is interested in switching to vaping. I have just passed 8 months (actually, I'm not even counting anymore). I am in St. Louis where we have 5 fantastic vendors and a big social network to help with my vaping. I think that is key to making it work, saving money and a lot of frustration. My friend lives in Santa Cruz, but I'm not finding a lot of activity there. Is there a local group, gathering or place where people in your part of the country meet in person or online?
