Would you guys approach other vapers if you see them vaping in public?

I believe, Kaz, if you intend to hold a gathering for vapers, you might want to start with a small pool of vapers amongst yr cliques or with a few fellow ECF'ers you've met before. That could make you feel less isolated.

And make it just a pleasant get together, juice-testing, pv/mod trials, reviews etc. It's like your own Vapefest (*cricket cricket*) with ppl you're comfortable with. Trouble-shooting yr Pene's together.. K, that didn't come out right, did it..? But you get my point...

I think it is best to be more discrete guys. Don't end up on STOMP, avoid crowded areas, and exercise self-control. If you're really desperate for a few vapes, go somewhere people wouldn't notice (If you get what i mean) or stealth vape if you know how to :D


Its like littering, there is a heavy fine in place but people will still do it. It has already been posted on stom, last year . A teenage looking fellow smoking in the train. The end is nigh!

I don't get all the talk of secrecy and such. Seems crazy to me. I'm very open about vaping. If you don't educate people as to what WE know, the benefits we've seen and experienced, then bull.... like what my boss told me the other day will just get worse. I told her I was using a pv and she looked at me in HORROR, real terror, and said, "No! Nonono do NOT use those things! My friend said ... blahblahblah." I calmly looked at her, and said, "Do you think I'm an idiot? Do you think I didn't research these? I've been vaping on and off for four years, and every time I've felt better, stronger, healthier. Don't make assumptions based on what others say." Something to that effect.

Anyway, that said, I do think approaching other vapers is fine. If they don't respond, or are curt, move along. I've found most vapers like to talk about their experience, their gear, how they found out about vaping. My pv has been a great conversation starter. So, don't be shy, don't hide, you just make it look like it's a bad thing. And I think that most of know it's anything but.

Like what Rul46 mentioned in other post is that , in our homeland it is a folk tale for us to educate ppl on these stuff as we are milking cash for taxes...do read up why they dont let...its because the revenue from analogs made is soo much that they dont want to even loose a single cent of it

I think you are right, but then education has its limit. There are some that will learn, some will not and stick to the negative stigma. Tak Boleh land is a place whereby stereotypes and judgements will always stay. It is so difficult to educate everyone nor change the perception. But I'm guessing your point is to educate those that you trust and know personally, and I believe most of us stick this idea as well :)
