Just started vaping not even a week ago. (Havn't smoked stoges in 5 years) I'm puffing Kentucky Maplewood, tastes like pancakes.

LOL, why would you even start vaping if you don't smoke? Is there any trend or fad that you aren't a slave to? Jeezus.

It's actually more of a social thing on campus at my college. I've met five people this week and have a man date (shooting at military range) with one only because we were vaping together. All we do in intro to java is sit in the back and blow clouds since everyone in that class already knows java.

By having made vaping my life, as in both a hobby and my career I try not to get involved in my customer's reasons for vaping. Since Sara isn't one of my customers (or any of you for that matter), here's my opinion on vapers that do it for how it looks:
PEOPLE THAT VAPE AND DIDN'T HAVE A TOBACCO ADDICTION ARE A BLIGHT ON THE INDUSTRY. THE LOWEST OF THE LOW.
Vaping is not some teenager's little smoke machine and is certainly not a fashion accessory for one of these raver kids; from what I've read, being in the EDM scene is what Sara does for a living.  Vaping was invented to be and continues to be a smoking cessation tool. We vape to not die from the diseases related to tobacco. It's ALSO a hobby for many people because it is indeed something fun to do.
By treating it purely as a hobby without using it as a stop smoking aid, we start to have a problem. For me directly it's a problem because it shows the FDA that it can be an enticing product for kids and adults to try that can harm them. Meaning more and more laws being passed to further regulate vaping. This affects not only people's livelihood that work in the industry, but also the R&D rate of products which has already started to drop off.
Fortunately according to most statistics and straw polls taken recently, roughly 85% of people that vape do so because they are ex smokers/dippers. Meaning only 15% do it recreationally.
Now, Sara is in a weird group where she's an ex smoker but is now picking up vaping. If she vapes simply so she doesn't go back to cigarettes, that's awesome!  If it's just for fun, she's a bug I want to squash with a shit stained shoe. 
My 2 cents...

I don't really agree. I mean I get why a lot of people look down on people who vape purely for fun. It doesn't even really make any sense to me why someone would just throw away money for something that really has no practical use for them. When the subject of a non-smoker looking to vape came up awhile ago, I even questioned them on why they would really want to do such a thing.
But look at this way. The vast majority of smokers start because it's "cool" or want to fit in with friends and people they are around everyday who smoke. Making a rational decision to start smoking is pretty much an oxymoron. Again I understand why people would look down on people who do this, but I do understand why they started because I was there myself at some point. Getting angry or aggravated over it is pointless. If it wasn't for most of us trying to be cool in the first place, we wouldn't be vaping ourselves. We may not of started vaping in a direct attempt to look cool, but the origin and end result is the same.
What bothers me the most is the people who are trying to put all kinds of random drugs in the fucking things. THAT is what is going to get them shut down. It's possible for the FDA to come down on us even if no one had done it, but they're going to point to these devil devices and say that it's giving kids access to drugs they never had before and it's harder to track down and they're going to pay some institution to come up with some bullshit figures to show how it's even more dangerous than traditional drug use.
Those people are the ones who are going to get the only thing that keeps me from smoking, taken away from me. Then I am going to be extremely pissed. I do not want to smoke. I despise smoking. It tastes like shit, it smells like shit, it makes me feel like shit. Yet I simply don't have the will to not do it without the vape. I may go a few weeks or months off the vape without smoking, but at some point something is going to happen to really stress me out and I'm going to go straight to the store, buy a pack of cigarettes and be a pack a day smoker again literally over night.

I don't mind if people who never had a cigarette habit start vaping, but I don't recommend it
What grinds my gears is when people use vapes to do illegal shit like take dabs or smoke meth or things like that
It's just entirely unnecessary and makes vaping look bad I mean come on if you want to do dabs get a rig, if you want to smoke meth get a bulb, don't use a vape to ingest substances when there's simply no need to do so

Yea, adults can do whatever the fuck they like. That doesn't change my opinion though. Happy to hear you feel the same because I know I'm going to get a lot of shit for what I said.

Yea man. I rather someone picks up vaping as a habit over cigarettes too. I started smoking cigs to fit in and because I thought it looked cool as well.
That doesn't change my opinion of it being incredibly stupid.
Edit: And I agree that using vapes as a drug delivery device causes a lot of harm to the industry but I think kids doing it for fun is just as bad. They are two equally valid arguments for the FDA to use against the industry.

Not as much as you really think IMO. I get the mentality and I get why someone would have it. I just simply don't agree. I have an opinion, you have an opinion, and in the end it's not even really worth debating or getting heated over something that insignificant.

For sure man. I get heated about this topic because of all the kids that come into my shop that I have to treat with the utmost respect because they are of age. They end up sitting in the store for hours just using up all my 0 nic samples. I know I'm probably blowing this out of proportion but it's been getting under my skin so much recently. That post gave me a way to get those feelings off my chest. Deep breaths...

I'd be pissed too if a bunch of man-kids came to sit in my shop for hours just to use up all my free shit.

when i was vaping i noticed that seemed to be the scene.
its almost like vape shops have become a new cigar or hukkah lounge.
kron, you should apply for your liquor license... people only 21 and up can come in (keeps the kids out) and profit off of beer. win/win

That's an awesome idea having a vape lounge that serves drinks. Unfortunately I'm but a manager and I don't think the owner of the store is willing to put up the 75 grand for a liquor license.
If I ever open up my own shop which is eventually the plan it'll without a doubt have a bar. It would be extremely profitable.
