Vaping Solidarity and The Vaping Subculture

[Arnie H]

From wiki:

Solidarity is unity (as of a group or class) that produces or is based on community of interests, objectives, and standards.[1] It refers to the ties in a society that bind people together as one.

This is particularly important in these times of growing regulation worries and bans popping up all over. We must stick together, support and look out for each other. We are a minority within a minority (smokers/ex-smokers) A subculture of a subculture.

Vendors and vapers, vaping and support groups, vaping media outlets, etc must work together.

If your lucky enough to have a B&M vape shop in your town/city, please support them. While they might not be the cheapest place for supplies, by making purchases we show our support and encourage others to open up shops of their own. Even if it's just buying a small bottle of juice (something all vapers need).

Support the vendors in your state and your national vendors as well. And of course join CASAA.

Not sure if this is a rant. Maybe.Just wanted to express my feeling on the subject.

Good for you. I always get a warm feeling when someone brings up the subject of CASAA. They are our salvation against those who would strip us of our precious. It's been quiet here for the most part concerning upcoming regulation talk. No news is good news. Vape on.

With you 100% on this, Arnie. ECF is my support group, my information source, my vaping think tank, and my favorite go-to for laughs. CASAA is my hope for the future of vaping. If someone would (please!) open a B&M where I live, I'd happily support them. As it is, I happily support my online vendors. I write letters and comment on articles to support vapers and rebut anti-THR liars.

I'm a vaper. It's what I do.

Thank you. Sometimes I think we forget these ideas. Competing vendors should cross advertise and not feel threatened by other vaping vendors. If two vendors are in the same city, they should help and support one another.

I also signed Wiliam Sovey's petitions:

Anything and everything we can do, we should do.

while i think its important we stick together i cannot support people who willingly rip others off knowingly because the people going there are unaware of the real prices, just because they can.

not all B&M are bad guys but theres too many who dont have any real knowledge of the products they sell orhave the faintest idea about out rights, who or what casaa is or even care about you as long as they make their bmw payments.

around here 650mah egos are 30-40 bucks. cheap clearos are 6-10 bucks and 10ml of juice is 9-15 bucks for cheap chinese crap.
those people deserve to be run out of business in my opinion.

there are 2 B&ms that I have been to around me that I would support and there are others I have been to that I won't go back to because they are out for the bottom dollar, very high prices and not very helpful
