Not a cloud chaser but....

I have to assume cloud chasing has turned more people onto vaping. Where the first vapers wanted to hide there vape so nobody knew anything about vaping. Somebody commented here they have 4 vape stores in their area but never seen a vaper in the wild. Must be some out there or the vape stores would be out of business. Too many vapers want to keep this their own little seceret.

Different but still the same... people have been doing things with exhaled smoke forever... such as smoke rings...filling bottles and such

I'm seeing a lot of people also saying that the cloud chasers are around 1% of the vaping public?
Not so much.

Where I live, it's more like 20% I would say.
And up north of where I live, it could be more like 40% or more.

Maybe it depends on where you live.
But I live in the area of the world that is probably the fastest-growing in terms of vaping.

And here, it's the cloud-chasers that are driving the growth.

Depends on your definition of cloud chasing too DC2. I vape a 0.4 ohm dual coil setup on my Reo. It make a good solid cloud, specially when you compare that to a clearo or carto, but I don't consider it cloud chasing.

What are the folks you're talking about vaping?

That was me. Actually they are 5 and still haven't seen a vaper actually vaping on the street. Not advocating this is how it should be, heck I don't hide it but somebody surely is because there are 5 stores right? Unless they are all on the edge of bankruptcy, something isn't right with this picture.

The vast majority of vape shops within 100 miles of me are owned by people using foreign high-end mods with foreign high-end RBAs.
And often mostly filled with vapers using the same.

And within 100 miles of me there have to be at least 200 vape shops...
San Diego Vape Shops

Big Tobacco is ruining it for everybody. Big Pharma is ruining it for everybody. Hell, capitalism is ruining it for everybody.

Interesting. I'm going to go out on a limb here and declare that I believe every single vape manufacturer and vape vendor is hoping to make some money. Where this sort of trade is concerned, even communists are capitalists. Without a profit to be made, there would be no product.

So, I will accept your statement regarding big pharma and big tobacco and add to it that I think they are more than somewhat aligned and allied with each other because they are feeling the threat of vaping to their bottom lines as specific capitalists who are hoping to protect their profits. However, I will wholeheartedly reject your claim that generic capitalists are, or the broad idea of capitalism is, somehow a threat to vaping and/or vapers. In fact, without capitalists, there would be no vaping.

Isn't a Reo also considered high end? Couldn't those who like to show off also show off their Reo's? In fact, I think there are several threads here dedicated for that, just as there are threads for Provari love and mech mod love. You can sub ohm with a Reo as well, and many Reo owners do.

your point is well taken...but I don't think a REO could qualify as a beautiful piece of equipment or really high end (it costs about $140) and I actually sub ohm with it at around .85 or so

im talking about the mongs who are sub-ohming at .07 or similar, building octo-coils, and in general behaving like obnoxious children

Y'know what else obnoxious children do? They call other people derogatory names and judge them for activities which have very little impact on them or 99.9% of the rest of the world.

Get over it.

To me, the only clear cut enemy of vaping is ANTZ. And ANTZ can be found everywhere, even within the vaping community or in BT, as hypocrites who think they know better.

But to make the point as clear as I can, I would say BT is about as threatening to vaping as capitalists are. If you feel capitalists are around zero threat, then I would concur with that assessment and stand by what I just asserted.

If you want another story from gramps/me then behave. /lol /joke

Let me try bribery first: Come to Vegas and it would be my pleasure to buy the rounds with you and your SE. We can even toast/clank our respective REO's.

On a far more serious note: I could care less what device folks use. I could care less what topper they use. I could care less how they look. You should have seen ME in my 20s! /lol I could care less what juice they vape or weather their builds are 2 ohms or .5 ohms. I could care less weather they blow clouds large enough to fill times square. I embrace it all. If it's good for YOU then it's good for me. It's all good! ALL that ever matters to me is that "YOU" never return to cigs and practice safe battery procedures.

If gramps/moi still hasn't persuaded you in a respectful and civil manner maybe this will help. TODAY we face legislation via the FDA which has the potential to "wack" vaping in a very very very serious manner. Those who vape today and the millions upon millions of folks who may never get the opportunity to enjoy the benefits that WE currently enjoy. I'm proud and happy to demonstrate along side ALL my brothers and sisters. Even engage in non violent civil disobedience so go ahead and send gramps to jail for his vaping sit in. Given this it seems to me that we need each other like never before so it's time to "let it go"

EDIT: AND if I still haven't convinced you, how about yet another bribe I just saw in another thread which is perfect:

Wow, that's a lot of vape shops!

RBAs huh. If they are cloud chasing with RBAs they are doping it wrong, no matter how much money they spent, LOL.
