I don't know why so many misinformed people hate on vaping but it's just constant when talking about it online. I have to assume the majority of people talking shit have never had a tobacco addiction or known anyone that has suffered from one. The kids saying to smoke unfiltered camels "like a man" are just that, kids. And ignorant ones at that.
Locally here it's rather different though. People are still very intrigued around me when I'm vaping in public, and a lot of people come up to me with questions about it which I enjoy. Still kind of a novelty here even though the industry is expanding exponentially.
The more vaping goes into the public eye, the more negativity is bestowed upon it in the media it seems since it is synonymous with cigarettes for people that don't know better. I personally think the term "e-cigarette" is bad for the industry since it associates vaping with smoking to an extent.

I agree that the term 'e-cigarette' has negative connotations on the practice of vaping. I think the general population frowns upon nicotine addiction and just see it as an additional crutch. One of the best things I think manufacturers did was start to move away from making a vape pen look like an actual cigarette.
I think you're right that only people that can really appreciate it are those that have battled with tobacco addiction or have been exposed to a heavy smoker.
I love vaping and until the government gets itself deeply invested in the vaping industry, it will continue to grow in popularity. I have definitely noticed a growing trend in my community.

#vapelife #vapefam #vapestagram #dripclub #vapetricks among dozens of similar hashtags are used by me daily both for work and hobby.
I just found out about instagram, or rather just started using it when I got into vaping about 6 months ago. Vaping is all I do use it for and it's been great. It's gotten my name out somewhat for my juice lines, I've won quite a few products via giveaways and have been contacted by a couple companies to review their vaping related items. Meaning, a bunch of free shit.

I've heard you say that before quite a few times. Maybe it's associated with hipsters where you live but here vapers vape because they quit smoking.
I have no idea how a nicotine delivery device (vape) is something associated with fixed gear bicycles and waxed mustaches. It must be a Canadian thing...

Yea, mostly at the shop I work at though. Online sales are dismal at best since I haven't made my own site yet. I've gone through so many different names and flavors but I finally settled on a line that's been selling very well over the last month.
Got it registered as "Awesome Sauce" (formerly Kronik Klouds lol) And I'm selling only max vg of:
Vanilla Custard Vanilla Custard w/ Sweet leaf tobacco Cake batter w/ tobacco (stonger tobacco flavor) Tobacco w/ hint of banana custard (still undecided if I'll keep making this one but I've been including it in sample boxes).
I thought of the juices almost as dinner courses. Starting at the very sweet vanilla custard, working your way up to a deep tobacco flavor, then cleanse the palate. Most people don't give a shit about that and just want cheap juice, but I love making it regardless.
It works out really well since when a customer comes in, he or she will see premium juices for $18-$24/30ml while 30ml of the stuff I make is $10-$12. At ~$1.40/30ml my cost, and $3 per bottle going to the store, it's not a bad little profit. My salary at the store is shit so the supplementary money from juice is really helping out right now.

Did he fuck the chick you were trying to impress by smoking cigs so now your all butthurtz ??
And what's with all the hate for toward people that vape and were never into smoking cigs? I keep hearing people saying they're stupid and doing it for image purposes. OK, so it's "acceptable" to start smoking cigarettes and then start vaping? That's so fucking backwards. It shouldn't matter, if you want nicotine you shouldn't be condemned for going the safer route right away...
I vape but I also still smoke and use chewing tobacco, vaping did help me cut back a lot. And also, blowing those big ass clouds reminds me a lot of my meth smoking days where the biggest novelty of smoking it (rather than shooting or anorting) was to blow massive cloud. Always had this oddlu satisfying feeling attached to it

I somewhat subscribe to the theory that people with no previous tobacco addiction shouldn't be vaping. I guess 0 nic juices would be ok but I just can't agree with people getting addicted to nicotine from a hobby they think looks cool.
Although nicotine in vaping is far less addicting than when smoke is inhaled from cigarettes due to MAOI's (and thousands of other chems), it still makes people dependent on the drug.
I also feel like a pompous ass for saying all this sometimes because people are free to do whatever the hell they want and it's really not my place to tell someone they shouldn't ever vape.
At the end of the day if a person is willing to get addicted to nicotine, I much prefer he or she does it via a vape.

I've always been a strong supporter of harm reduction ad opposed to abstinence whether it be drugs, drinking or sex. People will do what they want and I'd imagine most people would prefer to see them take the safer route

SurReality said: yea another thing about banning e-cigs
There really hasn't been any discussion of "banning" e-cigs. At least not on the federal level.
There was talk recently of Wales (part of the UK) putting a ban on vaping in public. That seems less likely now, as of this week, since the notion of doctors prescribing vapourisers on the NHS has been raised as part of the effort to get people to stop smoking. I imagine the company that gets the contract to supply the entire NHS with vape pens will see their shares sky-rocket overnight. 
The whole sector could be given a boost if the cost of the prescription charge (currently £8.20) could be used in a 'vape shop' toward part payment of a system of the patients choosing. I don't really see that happening as the 'National Institute for Health and Care Excellence' (NICE) aren't going to want to encourage the use of the type of systems that generate huge vapour clouds on the grounds that this is more likely to appeal to youngsters who think it's cool.
A ban on vaping in public areas is more likely to be driven by customer complaints to managers of public spaces, buses, resteurants, etc. than by law. The more visible the vapour the more complaints to management there are likely to be therefore increasing the chance of a general ban on vaping in such areas, as company policy rather than law.
May I ask kron, does the amount of vapour produced equate to the amount of niccotine in the vapour, or can you obtain a usefull 'hit' of 'nic' with a system designed to be more discreet?
Keep on giving up people.

It depends on the device, the wattage, the nicotine level of the juice and the PG/VG ratio
I don't see why so many people have a problem with me blowing gigantic clouds, I mean I would never do it in confined public spaces or right next to random strangers because I'm not an inconsiderate dickhead but these people who constantly talk shit about it and call us douchebags for doing it are in fact the real douchebags

I asked this dude for a cigarette when I was at this show last year and he gave me this dirty look and said "No nigga get the fuck outta here" and then took a hit off his vape. I told him he was a fuck boy and we got all up in each other's face until my friend broke us up. Later that night I saw the asshole vaping and shooting the vapor in the air like a cannon and thought "wow vapors are total fags".
I obviously don't think that anymore I'm just saying that's how I came to sort of dislike a lot of vapors and the vaping culture

It's against the law for people under the age of 18 to smoke cigarettes.
I wouldn't give a child a cigarette either. The guy vaping did the right thing by telling you to fuck off.
Your reasoning for having had a negative perception of vapers is completely asinine to say the least.

Lol. Sorry, I'm just being an ass. Just some of the things you post make me go 
I'm curious, why did you ask a vaper for a cig?
People that vape don't smoke as well for the most part.

I was standing next to him for a good while (prob like 20 minutes) during the show and he and his friends had been smoking cigarettes and passing around a vape. I was coming down from a roll and I really wanted to smoke a cigarette so I asked him "Yo can you slide me a cig, I'm rolling pretty hard and I kinda need one man". And then he proceeded to be an asshole.

If that was the case, yea, sounds like he was just a douche to you.
Since you're just out of high school I have a couple questions for you.
-Over the last couple years did you see more kids at school smoking cigarettes or vaping?
-If you had to guess, how many students out of 10 vaped regularly?
-How do most kids (underage) these days acquire their vape gear? (online, vape shops, etc?)
