On the road
Stopped in a little watering hole just outside of Texarkana today. I was enjoying some tobacco flavor with a few drops of pina colada in my Vamo, it was tasting really good with my beer. Over the course of the evening I had several people ask about the Vamo. Almost every one of them asked the same question, "What the hell is that"?

Gave me a few chuckles but I did explain it to each of them that asked.

I've really been enjoying playing with flavors, mixing different ones for something different. No analog ever tasted as good. The smell of the the cigarettes everyone else was smoking actually bothered me a bit, which is something new to me. Being an analog smoker for over thirty years I never really noticed their smell until I started vaping. I understand why some refer to them as a "stinky".

The bartender told me I was making her hungry as my vape smelled really good to her. My tobacco/pina colada blend must smell something like maple syrup because a couple of people have made that reference. I wish it tasted like it. Need to find a good maple flavored juice as that sounds totally awesome. One of my favorite pipe tobacco blends is a vanilla maple blend. Would love to find that in a juice.

Ok, I am rambling a bit but I am honestly stoked about the vaping. I've been trying to get some of my smoking friends to give it a try as I think it beats the heck out of smoking.

Guess that's all I felt like saying for now.

I had some drunk dude in Corpus Christi yell across the bar at me that I was a fake cigarette smoker once - like that was an insult?

I enjoy going out and about with my vamo, it almost always invokes some type of reaction and often that can lead to educating other smokers about their options.

At the very least, you get to enjoy a cold one with a PV that, if it hits the fan, can double as a night stick.

I'm using a Tesla (admittedly an unusual looking APV) with a Kanger ProTank.......I get looks and comments like that all the time......

A tesla with a pro-tank - that setup looks like you are trying to communicate with aliens :blink:

I love the look of the Tesla, i might just have to get me a k200 and go back to Corpus and look for that drunk...

Vermont Vapor sells a PG free Maple/tobacco blend.

I started with an ego. It got some looks and people would ask about it. I've got a few people already to switch. And one didn't even smoke anymore. He wanted to start back and he went with an ego then an Evic. I now have the Vamo. Love the feel and look. People now look at me differently. Think I'm carrying a weapon or something, but I do get their attention.
