Snooty vaping hipsters.

[wonkeypickle]

It is true this earth would be great without hipsters, but they are giving you good advice not to use 100vg. Clearo's can't wick 100vg quick enough and will destroy your coils quicker.

this is why this thread even exists.

good greif.....

i'm not judging anyone for the way they look or their gear, it's the other way around. They judge me because I don't dress like them or use their gear, and that's what I'm complaining about. I don't care what you look like or your gear, just don't be a .... about it. And the people in that shops are ..... and I don't plan on going back.

Also when I refer to hipsters I am not necessarily referring to a style of dress or the way someone looks. When I say "snooty hipsters", I am not saying all hipsters are snooty. I was referring to the ones that ARE snooty.

Also, I am female.

I know using vg-only is a pain in the .... in clearos... but it's what I choose to vape. Because pg blends make me cough. Also, when I asked this guy for an aerotank he told me they were out of aerotanks and pulled out a protank 3 and a unitank... told me the unitank was the better of the two and that it had adjustable airflow... bought the unitank. Got home, found out it is notorious for sucking and does not have adjustable air flow. The guys in that shop are jerks. I think they smelled out a noob and lied and took advantage. The only reason I went is because my husband is at work with the car when most vape shops are open, he doesn't get home until 8:30 pm and they are open until 2 am.

I was addressing everyone in general, not you specifically. Sorry if you felt I was calling you out.

I do get where you are coming from, honestly. I have had some pretty crappy experiences myself and it sucks. My point was mainly that I think labeling people does more harm in the long run. Eh, just my opinion and you know what they say about those.

I am not sure why you thought it would matter to me that you are female, I don't think I said anything either way about men or women. I too am female.

Sorry the guy sold you a crap Unitank, I would go right back there and tell him where to shove it! I got one of those early on and hated that piece of garbage! Sounds like a crap shop all the way around!

Someday everyone will realize that there is nothing different about people who vape. We aren't a united coalition, a public service group, etc, etc. I have a lot of hobbies, and every single one of them is the same in this regard. There will always be elitists, snobs, noobs, nice people, etc. Stop worrying so much about other people, or what other people think, and just do what you do and be happy.

This is the truth. For instance, I build models. Plastic models. I'm old enough to have fancy ways of doing it (airbrushes, etc). The stuff I build looks really nice, imho. Would you believe there are elitist modelers? There are. Snobs? Yep. Noobs? Yep. Nice people? Yep, a lot of nice people. My belief is if there are elitist model builders...well, there are elitist everythings.

We have a small group in our town who like to blow clouds where ever they go they have turned some cafe and pub owners against vaping and not allowing it anymore I don't know what kit they have. As me and the wife were in town today we had to pass them and as we went past one of them called me a chinaman and laughed out of curiosity I asked what he meant he said "cheap China mod and cheap China tank China man". Never heard that term before and they are right I was using my sig50 with a lemo and also right that it's a cheap setup because I'm on benefit and cannot afford a nice fancy setup. There are people out there getting stupid about vaping whether they are looking down their nose at people they don't feel have a good enough setup or your not doing it their way so must be doing it wrong.

It's bad enough for me to deal with it what the hell does it say to non vapers about us as a group personally I don't care what kit people are using if it works for you all power to you I don't see myself as any better or worse then anyone else. Perception is everything and a small group of idiots can have an effect way out of proportion to the number of them.

If your saying you own a Sigelei 50W and a lemo I would be willing to bet there is a few hundred people on here that would beg to differ with that being a cheap set up...

I use 100% VG in my clearos and rebuild the coils. Funny, that.

I can't stand intolerant people.

Man, you no what offends me (not that anyones ever cared) people who just cant accept the fact that people do things differently then you. I don't care if you vape an ego, a reo, a provari or a sig 100. I don't care if you drip or use a clearo or a damn 510 atty. So maybe you should practice the same thing you are preaching and not worry about what other people are doing and just go about your buisnees. Vape what you want, but don't come down on others for doing the same.

Before switching to vaping i got called out on what brand i smoked. "Oh, you smoke THOSE man you should smoke THESE your not a real smoker until you do." Ok cool you smoke a different brand. "Oh you drive THAT car? You have an Xbox not a Playstation?" Etc... Everything and anything you do in life there will always be condescending people wanting to one-up someone else. Personally i put my E-liquid in my nighttime vaporizer plugged into my car battery with a diesel generator outside so i can vape while i sleep. YOLO, SWAG, (insert other dumb slang hipster word)

That was a joke. Dont let people discourage or bother you. It saves loads of stress.

Get on your local yelp / facebook and maybe they have a review area and you can bash them there were at least the owner can see it as well as your local city of were not to go.
What is your nicotine level ?

Elitist model builders are amazing at making models. It's scary how realistic they get.

Funny how life comes back at you. Long time ago when I was young I had long hair and wore bright colored clothes and listened to Hawkwind and Led Zeppelin. I didn't have a very high opinion of old people with their short back and sides haircuts and shirts and ties. We called them squares. If one of them walked into somewhere I hung out they would have got some funny looks. Now it's hipsters and rap music and the boot's on the other foot. It's probably always been that way.

I'm on 12mg although I want to bump it down since the nicotine in ecigs seems to irritate my lungs.

I don't have a problem with how anyone vapes, I just don't like being treated like crap/lied to/sold crappy stuff because I don't vape the way some people do.

 

[olderthandirt]

I like the bit about can't stand intolerant people. Made this thread worth reading.

High VG liquids, just a drop or two of water or vodka and most any clearo will work fine with it.

Well what if we try and find you a set up that will help lower your nicotine level ?

I kind of like hipsters, my eldest and her guy are hipsters, right down to working at an "artisan" grocery store leaving corporate America, I "get it". If I were 25 again I'd probably be a hipster too with my daughter's bumper stickers "my compost brings all the flowers to my yard" *lol*

they were just rude, there's snotty & rude everywhere not just in our 'youngsters'. *shrugs*

Don't get me wrong, I like hipsters too. Many of them have great qualities. They don't eat much, they recycle, they are green, are willing to work for minimum wage while they learn a trade or craft (hipsters will bring back much to Made in America when they grow up), they don't care about fashion, eschew driving in favor of bicycles, etc. I just do not like the snooty ones - or the wool caps. What's with the wool caps in August? When did having your head smell like a fat man's underpants suddenly become the in thing? Did young women suddenly say "You know what would turn me on? A guy who doesn't shower enough and has hair with the stink of a mens locker room! Yeah, that really revs my motor!" Kids, go take a shower and leave the ski hats for skiing.

 

[rgerber]

Well.I remember when it was Sammy Davis Jr. that decided if the term was hip....or hep at any given time. He used to switch it back and forth.

Hipster vs Hepster! What are you? Cab Callaway always knew back in the day. God! I am OLD! As for me, I remain a Crankyster...

 

[TheBerch]

You are way out of line and to bash and slander other vapors will get you nowhere on this forum.

You apparently didnt get the point of my post. Maybe it is you and not I who don't belong after you made that comment. I guess my comment just went over your head. But that's ok.... happy vaping.

Anyway from my earlier comment.... I have no problem with cloud chasers at a vape bar or proper setting. But I don't appreciate someone blowing huge bellowing clouds while I'm sitting down trying to enjoy a meal at a sit down restaurant. That was what I meant from earlier.

 

[alicewonderland]

tbh i dont even know what a hipster is. to me it just seems like a derogatory term people use to name 20 something year olds that dont dress like the average person or are open about going green. the only thing dumb about hipsters is the people who use the word in a derogatory way.

 

[ReigntheGamer]

I recycle my non craft beer cans, about as hipster as I get. They probably would've treated me the same vaping away on my Reo.

 

[sincerelysasquatch]

Well what if we try and find you a set up that will help lower your nicotine level ?

wouldn't that be by creating more vapor? I don't think it'd help, I might be able to lower the nicotine in the juice but large amounts of vapor also make me cough, probably because they contain more nicotine. So yeah, I could lower the nicotine content of my juice and just produce more vapor, but it'd still be the same total amount of nicotine present, and would probably still make me cough.
