Word, word. Definitely agree, it makes us all sound like a bunch of idiots. I swear it's almost like cigarettes are more commonly accepted these days then vaping is, ridiculous. You should see the looks I get when me and my wife are out, like I'm some disgusting piece of sh*t. And I go out of my way to watch where I vape and where I blow the cloud or even turn the power down a bit and I still get looked at like I'm scum of the earth, like they'd rather smell cigs or be around a huge cloud of cig smoke. I don't get it.

Yeah, 'those' vapers do ruin it for us. My area is a joke; you walk into a vape shop with a genny built at 1+ ohms and everyone is like 'but bro, dem cloudz are really tiny; how du u evn liek dat ting'? Or 'doo, my Kennedy haz da bes flavir evrr n it blowz cloudz way biggr den dat thing...' or 'id nvr spnd moar den $30 for n RDA; clonez 4 lyfe bruh!' (then that same person walks up to the counter and pays $120 for an RX200 and will tell you it's the best out there before even opening the box)
I think people look down on us at times because of the general image of vaping, the people you and I just described. People don't look down on smokers because it's their business and they keep it their business; vapers have to let everyone know they vape or they have blow huge clouds in public because they think other people will think they're cool or they think they're better than smokers and decide to vape wherever they want because 'its just water vapor'. Fortunately the people I work with (I'm the only vaper in my company) understand why I do it and respect my decision to try to lead a healthier life (not to mention I only vape in designated smoking areas whether I'm blowing clouds that day or not). When I'm chilling with a smoker at the post, I don't even mention my vape unless they ask questions (which is more frequent than not); instead I try to have the good ol casual smokers convo (because really, we are just a newer form of smokers; I feel like one day people will go straight to vaping and skip cigarettes altogether).
I'm done rambling..... I think
