Not in any particular order:

3. "It looks like a tobacco cigarette."

4. "The FDA said that it was unsafe."

12. "You haven't really 'quit' smoking."

13. "It has flavors that appeal to children."

"All I can taste is the nicotine" This was from a coworker

 

[Kopfstimmen]

I love number 20!

 

[klynnn]

It might be mistaken for a cigarette.

"As long as government is perceived as working for the benefit of children, the people happily will endure almost any curtailment of liberty."

#18 is the one I hear most often, and it takes every fiber of my being to keep my eyes from rolling so far back into my head that they would actually come back around the other way. Ugggh!

 

[stern]

Yes, it takes tremendous restraint to live and let live, when dealing with these types!!

Esp. when they've got a cell phone glued to their head when they say it.

Or use a laptop....on their lap...over certain...important organs.

The expensive excuse is probably one of the top 5 most ridiculous. Most decent starter kits pay for their-selves within 2 weeks of owning them-considering what one would have spent on cigarettes in those 2 weeks etc. It's really quite funny how some people get sticker shock but they don't think of how much they will save after just a couple weeks and how they can escape the smoke and replace it with vapor!!! (which makes it even better, it's nothing but positive facts). Anyway, I am starting to wonder if the people who vape are the smart-"smokers" of the world. ROFL!!! Actually it's the truth...

And the blowing up thing, use PROTECTION aka Protected Circuit Batteries, make sure your mod is programmed to off when you're not using it... and you will be fine. I mean if you put tin foil in the microwave it will catch fire....think of non PCBs as tin foil and the mod as the microwave. And the protected batteries would be the food-what is supposed to go in microwave. What a simple illustration.

26. "It's a crutch." Yes. It makes me walk. Would you rather see me crawl?

 

[Spazmelda]

What about, "you don't know how much nicotine you are getting"?

Yeah, like cigarette smokers know exactly how many mgs of nicotine they are absorbing?

While you make a valid point on it paying for itself quickly ... not everyone can easily afford the outlay right off, compared to finding 6 bux here and there to get a pack of cigarettes. A lot of people these days live paycheck to paycheck, and will often have to find creative ways to make ends meet. It's sad, but it is very true. So I would say that no, the expense excuse is not a ridiculous one.

18. "It can explode in your mouth."

It seems like every time someone new sees me vaping I get this one..."you be careful with that thing!!! I hear one exploded in someone's mouth!!!!"

It's starting to get a wee bit old, and has made me realize just how little most know about vaping, and what the general public perception is.

 

[young gotti]

haha these are pretty funny...people are just ignorant to truths and blindly follow whats put right in front of their face like the fda.....i'm new to vaping, actually still waiting on my kit even though i have received my liquids and things...but i've been in the bodybuilding supplement industry for about 3 years now and i get things like "but you don't know the long term affects of that stuff"...oh no? b vitamins for energy with caffeine haven't been studied numerous times?

My moms excuse is that nicotine causes cancer . This being said as she smokes on her analog.

 

[79Silo]

My mom tells me whenever i come over to her house "STOP sucking the battery, its dangerous"

 

[recidivus]

While nobody has told me directly, I can tell by some side comments/expression that they think it looks silly and is a crutch. Right after they've lit a smoke finished hacking up an oyster trying to laugh.

I was at a party the other day with by Provari and tank in hand! This lady said to me and the others listening that ecigs were more harmful than analogs! That was a fun conversation.

26. Your satin black Provari with red LEDs looks like Darth Vader's lightsaber. The dark side of the force will corrupt our children, according to a new FDA study.
