The cloud chasing fad

I personally have no idea why those who've never smoked would want to vape, unless it's just curiosity -- lots of people like to try all kinds of new things; curiosity is a mark of intelligence, I've always thought. I don't think that not having previously been smokers takes away their right to try it, if they want to, or to keep doing it if they like it, for whatever reason. It can probably be a useful tool for a lot of things -- weight-loss, stress-alleviation, all kinds of herbal therapies, licit or otherwise, or just for the hell of it, because it tastes good and the hobby aspect of it is actually quite fun.

Everyone has a right to try it, of course, but I will find it amusing when they become the face of vaping...
Actually, has anyone noticed many of the anti e-cigarette articles have a picture of someone blowing a big cloud? Some even digitally enhanced...

I see nothing wrong with this. We aren't an exclusive club that only allows former smokers. It would be a bit snobbish if we were to adopt that position. Further, if people wish to chase clouds and do so respectfully, so as not to invade the personal space of others with their clouds, good for them. They've found a hobby that they enjoy.
People talking about doing smoke tricks isn't what worries me about this thread. Instead of mocking cloud chasers and pointing the blame finger at them, we should educate them about etiquette and safety if/when we see them doing something rude or dangerous. When the government comes calling, we're going to need all the friends we can get.

Did I say I have a problem with people who were never smokers who have decided blowing clouds is their new hobby? It is an observation I have made. I really don't care. I just think it is silly. Back in the day we would call them posers...
It might actually help save vaping for everyone, if lots of never-previously-smokers get interested in it. I think one of the things we have against us is how few we are, even if you count everyone who still smokes and those who've quit smoking since vaping came along.

Yeah, cause telling some guy and his 3 buddies that they can blow their faces off by what they're doing, is gonna solve all problems. People don't care if stuff is dangerous, against the law, or in wrong doing. People just don't care.
The people that do care, will educate themselves before doing anything in life.
Get off my lawn, kid!
Kid comes back with 4 buddies and chucks eggs at my house.

Someone please link this "dirty baby diaper" video... Please. I've never heard of this but it seems funny like the time I was looking up a video for something else, non-vape related, and the guy had lots of dog poo on his carpet LOL
And, so you know, my 0.2 ohm dual coil in my Plume Veil on my copper 4nine is quite a delightful vape. Vaping 3mg/ml of Front Street from Cape Fear Juice Company... Is just magnificent! Cloud production is "cloud chasing" quality and it is just enough to hit the spot.
I'm sorry that I like a warm, thick vape... It's just too tasty to not like! Is it for everyone? Of course not. I know many people (friends and family) that get by just fine on eGo batteries and small regulated devices... I don't see a problem with them using low output devices and they don't see any issue with me "cloud chasing".
I do think it is silly for people to chase clouds with no real purpose... But to see it silly because someone cloud chases to satisfy their craving to avoid cigarettes?...

It's even less effective to have a bunch of people complaining about cloud chasers in a forum. They'll be safe or they won't, but the negativity toward them in this thread is a whole lot of

Originally, and even still, I wasn't really complaining about the cloud chasers. My question was, if this is this the future of vaping. People are vaping, ultimately not for the reason they were intended for. But hey, who am I to judge what a person does.
I still remember when yo-yo's were a big deal
or how about pogs, anyone remember those? The cool shredders and 3D slammers?!
*tumbleweeds*

LMAO I remember pogs.... I got in fist fights with more than one friend over them from time to time...
For someone who doesn't have a problem with it or doesn't care, you sure have a lot to say about the subject. If you want to make it look like you don't care you might want to actually do so, because so far your argument has been you don't like it because it looks silly to you and you would never do it. Then you use generalized stereotypes of a very select few vapers who give vaping as a whole community a bad name, not just the cloud chasers. You honestly have no idea what goes into it or how it actually works, clearly you've shown that by grouping in people who want to do smoke tricks with cloud chasing, or people who wrap their hands with something because their mod gets way too hot because they are vaping unsafely. Why do you care so much ? Then pretend to not care at all? Everyone can see through that little charade. I'm sorry your simple mind can't comprehend the fact that cloud chasing isn't "silly", just because you say so. I really do not wish to be out of line here, but most of the comments being said here are really ignorant, and I can't comprehend what is so hard to understand about cloud chasing being more than a "fad" and for "kids".

I didn't mean to imply that you were judging cloud chasers negatively. My comments were directed at those who are. I just don't think it's helpful. I agree with the points made about cloud chasers who are reckless and/or rude to others, but I part ways with the "get off my lawn" crowd when they attack cloud chasers simply for existing. Having more vapers is better than having fewer, even if we don't understand or agree with someone's reason to vape (there have been a few comments here and elsewhere that seem to be looking down on those who did not smoke cigarettes before vaping -- hobbyists -- and I just can't get behind that sort of snobbish behavior). I guess my point is that if we see someone vaping rudely in public while in close proximity to non-vapers, or we see someone vaping in an unsafe manner, we can either say something or not, but people are going to do as they please and learn a lesson, eventually. Regardless, the cloud chasers aren't going away, and I'm happy that they'll be with us when the government knocks on the door. The more the merrier, if people are safe and respectful, and I don't care how they got into vaping.

I've already posted in this thread about how I see both sides of the "issue" we are discussing here.
And I've already posted about how it is the ANTZ that should bear the brunt of our anger, not any respectful cloud-chasing aficionados.
But I will take this opportunity to stress the fact that there is nothing snobbish about worrying that cloud-chasing will have a negative impact.
There is a very large majority here who feel that their ability to continue vaping is a life-and-death matter.
I hope all the cloud-chasers will at least try to understand that.
