Most people don't vape. I do. I have to adjust to the majority. I'm not obnoxious about it, and people leave me alone.

Two things about this:
(1) Not being obnoxious should be a given. Life can be hard enough without being uncivil to each other.
(2) "I have to adjust to the majority." No you don't. Be yourself.

Ummm dude.... read your post I responded to. You stated I sounded like an ANTZ. I was merely responding to you. 6 posts up.. shall I repost your post?

"Vapor bothers you and you've been vaping over a year??? Seriously? " Man dude use your brain or at least read all of what I have been typinf instead of selecting singular words and phrases. Clouds bother me while I am eating. Whether it be smoke, vapor, fog, the wind, smog, or the dude next to me with a bad case of flatulence. Is it really that hard to understand? Is it really that tough to try and respect your fellow citizens. Yes as a smoker.. other people smoking while I ate bothered me. I always asked for the non-smoking section. If they seated us next to smokers I politely asked to be moved, if they didn't have another table I left, politely.

Wooohooo! As far as we know vaping doesn't kill anyone. Now we can disrespect everyone on the planet because the 6 years of studies all say it won't kill people or won't kill as fast as smoking. Woot!

All I ask for is common courtesy. I am sorry you cannot understand that. I am not surprised in this new generation of me me me me.

Scared? yeah that's it. :facepalm:

You did repost my post with the quote. You obviously did not read it.

Common courtesy like dealing with other people's clouds, be they flatulence, perfume or vapor? If you can't deal with other people stay out of public places. Sounds like you're the one who's screaming "me me me".
Unless someone is blowing vapor directly on your table I don't see how you would notice. It seems as though you you look for things to be annoyed with.

Please show me where I stated were every vaper is inconsiderate. Do you wish me to point you to threads on ECF where vapers themselves stated I'll vape wherever and whenever I want? To the h3ll with everyone else philosophy. Get out of space threads if I vaping.. I sure have read a lot of threads about vapers where their tone and words really don't mesh with the word "considerate". Unless you and I somehow read different version of Webster's dictionary. I have read some where the vapers said they are and enjoy those.

Ha now show me where I stated I had a fear of clouds. I stated I don't like it when I eat. :facepalm: Also is it so out there that someone doesn't like clouds of vapor in their face? sheeesh. Don't give me the crap about it dissipating. I watch my vape clouds for 30 seconds or more. It is similar to my smoke clouds.

At least stick to what I state and don't try to infer anything into it then pass it off as fact.
There must be something seriously wrong with your atomizer, or you are burning your Flavors.
Or perhaps the room is too humid, which signifies mold growth potential in your home. I would invest in a dehumidifier if I were you.
I can read the headlines now: ECigs saves lives in more ways than one.

Edit to include a link about black mold and its symphttp://blackmold.awardspace.com/black-mold-toxic-stachybotrys-mycotoxins.htmltoms. Yowzers, this stuff is nasty!

Funny.. Just had a new furnance an airconditioner installed. Also had a energy audit done prior to the new unit and after. I also had a mold test done.

Please try again.. I am anxiously awaiting.

I love when vapers states we don;t blow clouds. I blow clouds at 3.7 volts using a SR and LR vivi nova. Inside the house in the winter and the summer.

The clouds are also outside during the winter and summer.

They act in the same way that cigarette clouds do. Except they have no smell and no second had smoke.

I can read the headlines.....:ohmy:

Yeah something wrong alright.

...I'll vape wherever and whenever I want?
Much of the time when someone says that they follow it up with a "but I am considerate about it" disclaimer.
Sometimes that disclaimer may not immediately follow, but comes out a few posts later after they are pressed about it.

But I do believe that anyone who TRULY vapes "wherever and whenever" they want to without being courteous is an ....
And such people are doing FAR more harm than good to our cause.

But then again, a person like that doesn't give a crap about our cause, even though it is their cause too.

I can not argue with that.

It is basically the same thing I was saying even though maybe it did not come across that way.

I will keep my opinions of California out of this. Needless to say I turned down a job offer there. It is a state for some but not for all.

I blow clouds, boy oh boy do I blow clouds. I use the rebuild able SSwick genesis type atomizers, at home. Out in public I use the viva nova, which also can produce quite nicely, but nothing like my Genny's do. I take little puffs when in public, either hold it in or blow it inside my shirt. I only have to hold it for 10 seconds or less. I never said I don't blow clouds, but I certainly don't blow clouds in public unless I am outside and nobody is close to me.
The ONLY times, like I said, that the vapor hangs around in the air, is in high humidity or when the atty is either gunked up and burning or when the volt is burning the flavor. Even then it dissipates quite fast. Real fast.
The regular vapor dissipates almost as quick as I exhale. That is the norm.
For yours to hang around like it does, something is off and I would investigate all possibilities instead of biting the hands that feed you support.

YOUR CLOUDS ARE OFF. Not mine.
If you'd like, we can have a vape off.
My favorite pastime is blowing vapor into sunbeams. I practically turn blue trying to keep a swirl going in them. I have to vape fast! Cigarette smoke is the opposite. The smoke lingers for forever til we fall from exhaustion trying to fan it away with our hands.
I've done both, I know.

My advice? Put your money where your mouth is, cuz someday you just might meet up with a real vaper in real life.

Trust me, there is nothing you can say about California that I wouldn't agree with.
If there were somewhere else I could live that had this weather, I would be moving there shortly.

Thanks for trying again. Sorry you failed.

Oh yeah I would love to have a vape off. :facepalm:

You know better than to think I would take your advice.

Anyway thanks for proving my point

"Out in public I use the viva nova, which also can produce quite nicely, but nothing like my Genny's do." I doesn't matter that you take little hits. It is that is can do. Why do you blow it your shirt?:facepalm:

"The ONLY times, like I said, that the vapor hangs around in the air, is in high humidity or when the atty is either gunked up and burning or when the volt is burning the flavor. Even then it dissipates quite fast. Real fast." Yup everyone that vapes.. Vapes like you do. Sadly you are wrong. It last just as long as cig smoke.

Please go troll someone else. You don't have to agree with me. I don't care if you agree with me. Just stop being a tool.

BTW - I am ending this. We are way off from the OP. Respond as you wish. I won't again.

Just because I don't agree with you you think I am an ANTZ. Common courtesy is lost on some people.

Seems like common sense is lost too.

"Sound like" does not equal "I am".

I did actually go read some of your posts to see if you were an ANTZ or simply someone who blindly parrots the things they say. I decided you were not one.


It is basically the same thing I was saying even though maybe it did not come across that way.

Like I said, speaking your mind without a filter can sometimes lead to the wrong impressions.
Then I gave a freaking example that you didn't like and again spoke your mind without applying the filter of reality and caused you to reply to something I didn't say and started this whole thing between us.

I'm not saying don't speak your mind. I'm saying calm down, reread what you are replying to and what you said to make sure it is saying what you want it to, because it's really sounding like if you had your way vaping would be banned in public just like the ANTZ want.

I am always calm. I am just dry and have no use for emotions.

I live life and don't sweat it. If little Suzie got her panties all ruffled because I red a red lollipop and she a green one. I would give her the red one and take the green one.

I don't get bothered over someone wanting to vape because it is their constitution right or whatever. I vape because I wanted to quit smoking and made a choice it was better for me than smoking a cig. I honestly don't know or don't care if it has some harmful properties. If it is more harmful that cigs, I would care.

I apologize for getting "sounds like" and "is" confused. I made a mistake.

Vapor is clean. Blow it through a white Kleenex, the Kleenex remains white.
Smoke will darken the Kleenex.

To claim that vapor hangs in the air for 30 minutes is downright .... Trolling.

I am not a troll in setting the record straight and for offering tips to help you investigate your wonky vapor.

It's too bad you're too nervous(?) for a vape off.

Hey Bluecat,

This is a forum about vaping. You seem to want to make it a forum about what a straight-talking blow-hard guy you are.

This is a forum about vaping.

I'm old enough to remember when you could smoke in supermarkets here in New York. It was kinda gross, actually - ashes and cigarette butts all over the floor. Same with movie theaters; it was a sensible thing when they banished smoking to the lobby and loge areas. But of course, the restrictions on smoking were destined to go far beyond what was merely "sensible."

I remember smoking in stores, doctor's offices (even my doctor smoking while talking to me during examinations.), etc.
But I have never seen smoking allowed inside a theater. I do remember one theater (a single screen small town theater) that had a smoking area in the lobby with a glass wall so you could watch the movie while you had a fix.

Now at the Drive In, we smoked all kinds of things.
