Dunno about having wealth and taste, though 
Anyway, I am a non-smoker, non-doper, never inhaled stuff for fun before (because smoke inhalation triggers instant asthmatic attack and always has). For a couple of years I have observed people "smoking" something that generated huge white clouds that were actually pleasant to smell. Instead of a toxic fug of cig smoke that would leave me choking, I smelled nice odours and could even carry on a conversation with a vaper instead of fleeing upwind.
I got so curious about the cool steampunk technology and the benign "smoke" that is really steam... that one day I wandered into a vape store just to find out what it was all about. The curiosity got the better of me and I bought a Pockex and a little bottle of zero-nic CEL cafe vanilla. I was almost laughing too hard to try it out the first time (because smoking is So Not Me). But it was kinda fun -- the warm cloud of coffee flavour, the amusing sense of blowing smoke out my nose like someone in a film noir. Felt like playing make-believe with candy cigarettes as a kid (and weren't those a sinister marketing ploy, hey?)...
So that's me -- an oddity. Not kicking the nic, because I've never touched it -- and not huffing the THC or CBD to medicate pain or anxiety -- just vaping for flavour and novelty. I suppose I have some vague notion that I might learn to substitute vaping for snacking, if I can find tasty enough flavours, and that might help me reverse some of my old-fart weight gain. Also seemed like a eucalyptus/mint flavour might be sinus-clearing if one had a cold or flu. Also, with my coffee flavoured vape it's like getting the best part of a cup of coffee (the lovely aroma) without the bitterness or the jitters. Smell is 90 percent of taste!
Anyway, my vaping exploration is pretty shallow so far -- just easy disposable-cartomiser hardware and off the shelf juices. Had a shockingly disappointing experience buying juices, expecting them all to be as smooth and tasty as my first bottle. I got over-enthusiastic and ended up with about 15 bottles none of which I can stand. I tell ya, if I had tried some of these other flavours as my first puff, I would never have vaped again -- eee-yew! ptui! Just got lucky the first time. I wrote about this at greater length in the general forum.
So I'm now expensively seeking the perfect juice, because I seem to have a very picky palate... and maybe eventually I'll get into mixing my own (that could be a fun hobby). Unless I get bored when the novelty wears off.
Hardware: so far, a Pockex for my favourite brew, and 3 Kanger eSmarts for taste testing. Very newbie stuff I know I dunno how deeply I really want to dive into the arcana of ... umm... gee, can I call it "vaporware"?
Glad to find this friendly and welcoming forum. Greets to all.
