I recently went around to a couple dozen vaping shops in my area to educate about CASAA and the deeming regulations.
Most shops around here are run by people who belong to a certain community that likes to chase clouds.
And then there is me, who has been dripping with a simple 510 atomizer for over five years now.
And my battery is a simple Ego Twist or Vision Spinner.
Some of these people cared a lot more about trying to sell me "better" equipment than they cared about legislative issues.
I didn't let it bother me, although it did kind of bother me.
Hey, at least I have a really cool drip tip.

I agree fully with this ^. I try not to snob it up, I just really enjoy my mechs and rda's/rbas. I like to step towards the informative side rather than the bragging side, but can seem like a very thin line.

As a new vaper, I have progressed so to speak, from a six to a two. Still. I can not look down on anybody for the choice of vape stuff they use. Do not see the snobish attitudes here at ECF either.
Funny story its sad but true and it puts my in mind of my local vape shop which no longer has my buisiness.
When I was interested in starting hey they were all gung hoe on all the info they could give and make that sale. Well I bought some things and came home smoked my last analog and started vaping. The items I was sold were clearly not what I needed to get a satisfactory vape so I started researching and figured it out on my own and ordered what I needed online. I went back in a couple weeks later to get some coils when I told them what they were for suddenly I was a stranger lol. Guess they grudged me for not buying from them. Never will again either after I have seen what things are really sold for and not the 100 to 300% mark up they put on stuff.
I understand that a buisiness needs to make profit but when I saw I can buy 5 t3s tanks for less than they sold me 1 for I was a bit annoyed.
Some people do smoke an analog here and there when they are vaping I personally have no problem with it.

Well, you were the better bred one in that conversation, SteamWhistle. They didn't deserve your conversation.
Makes me want to renew my "Make Stupid People Wear Signs" campaign.
Anyway... We got your back, SW. ECF is where your non-snooty vaping friends are.

This isn't about ex smokers or smokers its about anyone that think they are above people who still smoke, duel fuel, don't use what they think is a good enough device or whatever other reason they have to think they are somehow superior, i'm a ex smoker too

Edited my post to include the OP, which was about smokers/ex-smokers.
they were probably trying to, whats the correct word? peer pressure? guilt trip? manipulate? you into not smoking in their own sort of psychopathic way. probably their parents speaking more than them. poor souls i can imagine what that childhood must have been like. the fact that you're on ecf posting about it means they got to you, anyway, yeah just move on i doubt you will meet these people again.

Sounds to me like they did you a favor. I like when people prove to be jerks sooner rather than later. Just think, you could've wound up with them as friends or something, putting up with that nonsense all the time.
Good list. I think we all have a little snobery inside ourselves, most of us just keep it locked away.
Ive gone from 6 to 1 and settled back to #2 on this list. I even enjoy an occasional ego batt and 505 dripper from time to time.
Im not snobish towards smokers, ex smokers or part time smoker/vapors. But I am a bit of an equiptment snob (toppers and APV)..... and with the exception you fine folks here on ECF (my friends) , I keep it to myself around vapors in the real world.
So....Im telling on myself. Whats new...
Got 2 of the 1st, and 40-something of the 2nd. And man, are they intolerant!
J/K. I haven't actually talked to any of them in years, so I have no idea how tolerant or intolerant they'd be towards me now. All except one were really nice people and actually liked me, so I think only the one would be particularly intolerant of me if we ran across each other again. Right up until she murders me, that is. Then her intolerance of me would probably evaporate like juice droplets off a dry-burning coil.

Does "with my car" count?
Jk, of course
What a slap in the face, op. They didn't deserve your time. And don't feel the need to apologize for something you shouldn't.
