The vaping obsessed.

[Tracy68]

Our 21 year old daughter was driving hubby and I to a restaurant for dinner the other night when from the front seat I heard her exclaim ‘Dad, can ya give it (vaping) a rest. I can't see the road!!!”
What looked like a mini cloud had totally enveloped the front of the car.
I don't blame her at all for getting upset.

Personally I think this is getting a bit over the top….my husbands vaping obsession that is.
Now that he has bought this “grip” thingy and insists on vaping 100% VG at whatever ridiculous voltage he vapes at, he constantly looks as though he is about to spontaneously combust.
(Seriously, it's embarrassing.)

He gave me a go of his long forgotten (well, it wasn't THAT long ago that he bought it) Provari the other day .
I nearly died.
I felt like I had just inhaled a sauna.
I don't even think if I stuck a whole packet of cigarettes in my mouth that the sensation could have been as thick. …. as vaporous.
I can't imagine what the “grip” feels like….He must have to chew through vapor that thick.

I think he wanted ME to have the Provari but really honestly I don't think it's very lady like to walk around sucking on something that looks like a screwdriver….(or worse).
Besides I think I'd get a repetitive strain injury .
I'm quite happy with my slimline little Ego. I can take dainty little puffs and since it's mainly PG I don’t have to worry about someone trying to extinguish me.

I really have to laugh whenever he mentions ‘stealth vaping”.
Umm…?

This “ grip” thing……Now he’s saying he wants one “the other way round”…button on the other side – or something? so he might sell the Provari . ::::rolling eyes::::
What's up with that?

Cigarettes were much easier.
There was no statement to make with those, except “look at me killing myself”.
Now, with this “grip” and the insides of it with all the wires, the timer and the red light…
My God, could he find anything that looks any more bomb like?
This from a person that frequently travels internationally… (cringe)
I think all this vapor is seriously clouding his judgment.

The home office looks like a drug lab with all the bottles, syringes countless containers of flavourings , liquids and other paraphernalia lining his desk shelves.
Things keep arriving in packages...

I have one PV and I vape one flavor.
I don't walk around as though I am creating my own weather phenomena above my head.

Its really very simple.

And they say women are complicated creatures?

I getting to be the same way. But, that really is part of why I am so into vaping...the tinkering, lots of flavors, etc. The way I see it is the more i enjoy the entire experience the less likely it is that I will ever smoke another analog and that's just fine with me. Give your hubby a break.

Too bad you're on the other side of the planet Tracy. I think your husband and I could be friends.

He must have to chew through vapor that thick.

Priceless

Now there's a new standard replacing "clouds of vapor" in my imagination! Some vapers will start spending $$$ in an effort to get vapor that thick, and still want more!

Wait! The National Weather Service shows a huge fog bank approaching the west coast of the US from somewhere in the Pacific...

 

[skullfreak]

I lov this
My whole family is on my case too.

 

[Luvs5rugrats]

Talk about polar opposites...my husband likes his simple ego and carto combination with some cheap dekang tobacco. Me...well, stick my head on your husband's body....wait...that don't sound right...

Anyway, I have my little druggy table with my gazillions of flavors and bottles and syringes and my never-ending obsession with the next best thing. If I don't have a cloud over my head, I'm not happy.

If they only made one type of ecig, us guys would be fine and happy. But no. They are moddable. People can make their own, with continued improvements coming out constantly. You think he will stop at what he has now? This is a never-ending quest for the best vaping experience, and it speaks to us. It calls to us. The siren song of the ultimate PV cannot be resisted!

Sure, he may be happy with his gripper now. But just wait. 6 months down the road that gripper is going to cast aside for the next big thing. And he knows it's coming. He might just have pics of a new prototype. He might be secretly coveting a model with better battery life. He might wonder, "Is there a variable voltage mod, with a juice feeder, that can fit in the palm of my hand?" He seems happy now, but make no mistake... this isn't the end!

You might tell him that vaping while driving is potentially unsafe. In my experience it has been more of a distraction than a cell phone.

I played with some mods, managed to sell them to people I know for a profit, but I quickly out grew that obsession for the ultimate fog cloud. One thing that helped was working and going to school at the same time, no time or money to play with new stuff. I guess at about a year simpler became better, all I needed was something to keep me off analogs not clear the neighborhood of bugs. Right now I'm just tickled pink with my new E-Power 14650, 3.7V with 2.5 ohm clearo's and straight PG liquid and no desire to light an analog.

 

[Thank You]

"less is more"

 

[unloaded]

I think we need to do an intervention. Gather up that "grip thing" and any other paraphernalia laying around, box it up and send it to me to properly dispose of! I'll even pay for the shipping knowing it's for his own good!

 

[DerekUrban]

Your husband sounds neat.

I can relate, only I aim for hit over vapor so I stay away from too much VG. Also I want the VP to look cool (I'm a narcissist, so sue me), so it's harder there. I want it to hit like a freight train and billow out a cloud that looks like a factory in full production of vapor releasing smoke bombs. I have fantasies about the future of vaping, with 510 style Variable Voltage devices that last 36 hours at 5v fully charged with a purple LED tip.

One can dream...

"You might tell him that vaping while driving is potentially unsafe. In my experience it has been more of a distraction than a cell phone."

I agree with this! It was anyway BEFORE - when I caught him trying to drip and drive!!!
Now that he has the grip - which basically I guess is a big ole tank thing (looks like a fancy wooden soap dispenser to me) there is less of a distraction except for the copious clouds of vapour.
Lucky he catches trains most of the time.
If they were steam trains I reckon he'd have no problem stealthing.

 

[Tracy68]

Thanks all for the replies.
I can see I'm not alone, or rather HE is not alone.
I rather like the idea of an intervention. Fog rehab.

 

[Wingapo]

I hear they're working on vapor goggles that let you see better while vaping and driving. I'm going to get me some of those.

 

[beckah54]

Still laughing Tracy....great post!

 

[chingbo]

lol everyday i recieve new packages, and on those days my mom give's me crap for it

 

[Wingapo]

My mail lady is considering taking up vaping to help with all the stress of bringing me new packages every day. I've already got her starter kit on order.

 

[RichardLOZ]

Isnt it so nice to have support from the one that you love

 

[Stosh]

Your husband is perfectly normal, the large clouds of vapor are to camouflage the "bomb" looking PV

In the words of Tim the Toolman Taylor, we need more power, we can make a few little adjustments, give it some hemi power, add in......
