I apologize for this rant. I've noticed that #1: most people that work in vape shops are men where I live. But, thats beside the point.

I don't go to may vape shops often due to the prices. But today I went to a shop just cause I had time to kill. So I walked in and asked

"Where are the rebuildable tanks?"
"Okay who is this for? Your husband, bf, brother?"
"No its for me"
"Really?" Like he was shocked that I was able to wrap a wire around a little screw driver 5 times. Not only that he showed me RBAs, which is not what I was looking for.

I didn't find what I liked so I bought two batteries. It's sad because this isn't the first time that I was given a dumb remark.

Ladies, do you deal with this also?
A lady in a youtube vid taught me how to rebuild Kanger coils.

You think Florida is crazy?
Lol
Try California. We own the patent on crazy. We elect them to office!
We vote in the crazy, make laws to protect the crazy, and repay the crazy with wealth and privilege.

But don't laugh too hard.
The rest of the country eventually follows California's lead.

Well, I'm a guy and I've been vaping for nearly 6 months.. Still have never built a coil yet. About as far as I got was a failed wicking attempt on my subtank rba and gave up indefinitely. I do sort of want to learn but I have a feeling by the time I get through these 30 SSOCC coils I bought, I might be done with vaping altogether since I'm vaping less and less and don't even bring my vape to work or when I go out in the car at all anymore.

Part of the reason is I'm a busy man with too many other hobbies to occupy my time.. I guess I just haven't got around to it. Every time a coil burns out, I tell myself, "Ok, I'm going to try wicking this thing again" but I never do since I'm fully stocked with plug and play coils and they are just way too convenient.

I don't think being a man or woman have anything to do with it though.
Exactly. Some PEOPLE don't have the time or interest to rebuild.

I'd like to see a man who could maintain a sewing machine - lots of fussy mechanical bits.

Ahem. You know what has two thumbs and can maintain sewing machines? THIS guy!

My mother was a seamstress and taught both me AND my sister the basics of sewing and machine upkeep. While my sister does sewing work for a few interior designers, I limit myself to hemming pants, repairing seams, and putting buttons back on, lol.

Women build, my wife actually builds a prettier coil than I do, she just chooses not to. I clean, refill, recoil and rewick and buy all of her gear.
In exchange she let's me buy whatever I want. Good deal?
Great Deal you have there. If only my better half knew what I had spent over the last few weeks alone I would be up **** creek.

I see few women vapers around this town, but there is a big vape store chain in the area geared more towards women. Build ladies, just build and vape. Pay no attention to the small minded, insecure goons.

But Florida is where criminals try to one up another on the seriously? scale, elderly 7/8th deads go to drive nascar style through business windows, people "disappear" in the swamps, cannibalism is commonplace while ripped on bathtub chemicals mixed in a trailer by an incestuous couple, and rich tourists and New England rejects eventually go to live with their wives who gave up on their union a decade prior. All those old episodes of COPS are from there. Did I miss anything?

Oh it's tropical.

Ummmm... yeah you missed the young burglar who tried to hide from the cops in a lake at night in Florida, and was eaten by an 11 ft. alligator. Instant Darwin award!

My personal favorite :)
