Hello everyone, I'm rather new in the vaping world. I've been a lurker here almost since the start & post occasionally. I've been vaping for about 14months & off analogs for a little over a year. I love vaping & have made it a part time hobby. I live in an area with few vapors, I have only seen 1 or 2 vapors "in the wild", unless I'm at a vape shop. I have converted my best friend, her fiancé, & my sister, who have all successfully quit smoking for well over 6 months now & gotten more than a dozen or so people to try vaping. There are 3 vape shops within a 30 mile radius, none that I shop at ( over priced, make there own not so good juice, & not to sound mean but I know more than all the employees I've met). I use regulated box style, a few mechs, & other 18650 tube mods with kayfun/taifun & the occasional RDA. If I use these in public I get a lot of stares, these don't bother me but I prefer they just ask because I don't think that their thinking good thoughts. The problem is when they do ask, it's not asking. The most common "do you know those are worse than cigarettes" or " do you really think that's better than smoking". I get told it looks worse than smoking, or the most common again "that looks like a crack pipe", I don't even know what a crack pipe looks like!!! Unfortunately that is what I say half the time with an added on " how do you know what a crack pipe looks like", I don't think this helps. I have started using ego type devices with kayfun minis, I carry 3 to work & 1 with a larger mod everywhere I go. This didn't change anything. I'm a nurse, I have a respectable career, yet get looked down on for quitting smoking. I'm healthier & yet these people act like I'm committing a crime. What am I suppose to say?? I try to explain, I really do, I try not to get impatient, but I'm sick of defending myself all the time. I'm afraid my impatience with the same ridiculous comments is not helping my cause. I'm looking for a shirt with a crazy mod that says vaping saved my life, I then plan to buy a dozen plus have some scrubs made but in the meantime I could really use some advice!! If you've read this far then please help me???
