Always get this question about does it have nicotine in it--------I say yes and no---- it is what ever you want it to be no nic or some nic....

I answer the Same way to the "Does it have Nicotine in it" question.

And I have noticed that before I answer, Many Non-Vapers are kinda Leaning Back with their Eyebrows Scrunched up. But when I say that the e-liquid in my tank Doesn't have any Nicotine in it (when actually it Usually Does), then they are all Relieved and will Lean In to have a Closer Look.

Or even, in some cases, want to Hold my APV to get a Feel for the Weight.

And I can take a Hit without them Running for the Hills while trying to Hold Their Breath.

LOL

I've threatened to siphon some anti-freeze from people's cars before. :eek:

That soon makes them realize how stupid this comment is.

I once told someone I had 45mg Nicotine and 'needed' to vape it at 50w because I was a Nicotine psychopath after quitting smoking a massive out-of-control 15 a day and taking up Vaping.

Again, they realized.... :lol:

I get, wow thats wierd looking, its my 2011 handmade copper.Thats coming from people who have 250.00 new flashy mods in subohm.my how things have changed since i started vaping in 2008, i must get up with the times.[ nothing wrong with being different "you never get ahead by running with the pack" I did get a kick out of the man who asked me "you know those things contain nicotine" as he sucked on his cancer stick. wonder if using this stuff will get me a little more attention Mary Jane Flavor Concentrate by TFA (1oz) :lol:

The only place I get legitimate questions about vaping is at fast food drive-thru windows, mostly from young people who already vape or know someone who does, so I'm not hearing the "anti-freeze, face explosion, worse-than-cigarettes" rhetoric ... :vapor:

The only disinformation bomb that ever really caused me any concern was the one a while back, about USB chargers being a potential gateway to malware on computers (even though it had never actually happened). Remember that one ? :rolleyes:

A close friend expressed genuine concern about this, until I pointed out that my charging cable had only two pins, for power and ground, no possibility of any data transfer ... :blink:

Of course he asked "Then why would "they" just make this up ?" :unsure:

I explained about the drop in smoking rates, the loss of tobacco tax revenue, and the threat to public health organization funding, as vaping increases in popularity ... :mad:

My friend is Russian. He understands propaganda campaigns all too well ... :(

I get a few questions here and there. I just try to be as informative as possible. Most of the time its from CIG smokers. Smokers or non smokers I try and keep it positive,I think of it as blowing clouds of awareness. More ppl need to understand why we do this and its gonna be up to us to inform them because every thing else they have been told is all wrong obviously.
