It's a sweet thought and A noble idea but sadly I don't think it would work. First night it would likely get stolen plus they couldn't afford the e juice and these people usually have no access to electrical outlets. They are trying to survive, worries about where their next meal will come from, I doubt they could keep up with vaping. E juice, charging, tanks, ect. It's not realistic. But a very sweet thought. If you want to make a real difference donate clothes and food. At Christmas I'd go donate toys to the homeless children shelter. Give the basics they will be great full for it!!

I am tempted to write:
"Will the homeless use only authentics or will they use clones?" and "they better not use a Provari!!!!" ;)

so I did ;)

Hey it's Friday. Even moronic threads pass the time.



Let's not be callous to those less fortunate than we are please.

For what it's worth I was downtown today and noticed that the many homeless people really like their tobacco. With cigs selling for $10 a pack it must really eat into their budget. I wonder if they could be helped to vape? Maybe we could donate our less favored devices and juice and set up charging stations. Just a thought.

If this is in Canada what I don't understand is why there are homeless people. Isn't it COLD up there in the winter?

I suggest you take up a fund to move them to Miami.

ACTUALLY, I have been. It sounds like the OP has never been homeless. And if someone had handed me an ecig I would've laughed in your face and then lifted your wallet. This is a TERRIBLE idea. Being homeless is all about things being convenient. Cigarettes are convenient. E cigs are not.

I find it VERY hard to believe that you were ever homeless. I know more than one person who has lived on the streets and they would never have the attitude that you show here. Just sayin...

If there is one thing that this thread has shown me, it is that no one clicked on the link I posted in the second post of this thread.
All of the questions and speculations in this thread have already been answered there.
By the way, the thread I posted does more than just answer questions and speculations...
It provides some heart-warming stories of caring people helping people in need.

Maybe some don't care about that crap, but if you do, that thread is well worth your time...
And if it's not, maybe you shouldn't be posting here either.

Just sayin...

No problem with doing it again.

Give a man a vape and he vapes for a day. Teach a man to vape and he spends all his money on shiny stainless steel crap.
Give a man a vape, and he vapes for a day. Offer a man continued vaping, and he will jump through all sorts of hoops to continue.

Part of one of my posts from last week:
I am reading an autobiography of a survivor of the Andersonville Confederate prison camp during the Civil War. Many of those who chewed tobacco valued it above food. Some crazed ones would go into the no-man's land approaching the outer walls of the camp when Confederate guards would entice them with a plug of tobacco. They were shot to death for crossing that line.

I did and like you I figured it was over. There must be something else here that draws interest.

I never posted that with the intention of ending this thread.
But I did hope that people would at least take a look at that thread.

Reinventing the wheel is always good exercise though.
So meh.
