This 100%.
OP, why do you spew shit out your mouth about topics you haven't the slightest clue? I understand you're 18, but that's not an excuse for being completely misinformed poo head.
Vaping is not meant to be "cool", although I certainly think it is. It's a way to switch to a healthier alternative from deadly cigarettes or other tobacco products with relative ease. I was almost a 2 pack a day smoker for 12 years and was never able to quit after numerous times trying. Finally vaping came around and I haven't touched a cig sense.
My story isn't unique either. Vaping saved the lives (or at least shaved a lot of years off their deathbeds) of my parents and countless friends. As well as dozens of people here on the Shroomery and dozens dozens a week at the vape shop I recently started working at.
I do somewhat agree that people without a tobacco addiction shouldn't be vaping because they are the few people that do it to "look cool". With that said, in the past year there have been dozens of surveys and straw polls conducted on "who vapes?" and roughly 80% of vapers are former cigarette smokers, ~10% dipped, and the remaining 10% were kids like yourself acting like idiots.
I hope you've learned something today, young man.
And here's some vape porn for the people here that appreciate it:

yea another thing about banning e-cigs, which kron reminded me (first mod looks like its homemade a bit) is they are really easy to make yourself. there is even a WTA technique (which i've been meaning to try) that allows you to extract nic out of tobacco PLUS other tobacco alkaloids.
been meaning to do this because nic alone doesn't do it for me, its like using pure THC and no CBDs its just not the same effect

There really hasn't been any discussion of "banning" e-cigs. At least not on the federal level.

you're probably right i'm just talking about hearsay. but i know its a big subject in the ecig forums, but don't really care enough to fact check.
ultimately i'm just giving a solution to a hypothetical situation.

The proposal has been laid out for "regulation", but even the industry would tell you its a far cry from a "ban."

good to hear, and frankly not surprised as i wasn't really worried. i was more talking to the other user here who was up in arms about using vapes for illegal drugs and saying it might lead to bans.

The biggest issue right now is that with regulation of vaping by putting it in the same category as smoking, R&D will come to a halt.
Basically the government & big tobacco wants to make all current mods (batteries) and tanks/atomizers illegal. Cassaa.org and its members will most likely be able to compromise when the time comes so that everything that has been released so far will fall under a grandfather clause.
States like NY & Cali are also in the process of passing laws that put vaping in the same category as cigs. Fucking ridiculous.

I think this is true but only to a certain extent. When I started vaping, the vapor was really a fun novelty to play with, do tricks, etc. It still can be at times but for the most part is just an effective way to ingest my nicotine with a great flavored vapor.
The wow factor of it has greatly diminished over the last 3-4 months.

Yea man. It's just a little frontside spray in which the picture was taken at the perfect time. I've been skimming now for over 15 years and in my area of the US there's rarely surf (maybe 10 times a year), but constant skim like you see in my sig.
As for "how to ride it". It all comes down to timing really. When you start running, when you drop the board (and what angle), when and how you step on the board is what differentiates beginners from vets for the most part. That timing only comes with a lot of practice, and is something you can't learn by flatland skimming. Like on a sandbar.. Balance is obviously important as well but secondary.
If you have any questions about skimming in general shoot me a . I can and do talk about it for days on end.

I will never fucking get this phenomenon. Retards love to hate on vapers because they want to choose a 500x healthier alternative to smoking cigarettes.
Yeah d00d... like.. don't be a "pussy" and smoke cigarettes like everyone else sucking down that carbon monoxide, tar, benzene, arsenic, formaldehyde, ammonia, nitrogen oxides, hydrogen cyanides and longer list of carcinogens.

I know people's personal lifestyle health choices hurt me sooo fucking much I need to cry about it wherever I go! Society has gone full retard
At least where I live, most people are hip to vaping. I almost see more vapers than cigarettes smokers these days around here. No wonder the tobacco companies are dumping millions into fighting them and pumping out propaganda. It's a legitimate threat to their trillion dollar slow death industry.

Vaping is the greatest thing since slice bread as a form of cigarette cessation. It's been the only effective nicotine-delivery item that I have come across to help me quit smoking.
Vaping itself isn't stupid but a lot of it depends on the user.
I personally think it looks stupid but I don't do it to look cool. I do it because I love nicotine and hate cigarettes.
Carry on now..
