That's what my cousin said when he saw me vaping. I was a bit annoyed by it but let it go. Has anyone ever had that reaction or similar reaction from someone when you vape?

Only from boys who are either too dumb to know any better, or are insecure about their manly manhood.

I live in one of the top Hipster cities, so the supply of "Real Men" is astronomically low. Skinny jeans and scarves are rather abundant. I'm actually more surprised PV's haven't caught on quicker around here since they all like to be into something before it was mainstream.

But seriously, if "Real Men" volunteer for cancer, I'd rather not be one of them.

I hunt, I fish, I make my own ammo, and I work in blue collar job. I have scars from signifigant fights and I have sailed around the world twice when I was in the Navy. I have shook hands with the devil in the bottle and lived to tell about it. I also took the example of a real man to quit smoking and I took up vaping and have since converted my wife and a good friend.

Takes a real man to know when he is fighting a losing battle, change strategies, and live to fight another day.

Vape on mate!

I had the exact same conversation with some of my friends. Here is how you take them down:

- why do you smoke? Is it to get the nicotine you need, or to appear manly? If its for the nicotine, vaping gives you as much as you need. If its to appear manly, then youre not a real man, youre a stupid child trying to pose.

Had a similar reaction from an old friend I saw at a bar for the first time in years. When I pulled out my Inferno and started vaping, he smugly said, "Oh, you're on those things now."

"Yep! Sure am! And I'll be right here vaping at the bar when you get back from freezing your ... off standing outside smoking your cigarette."
