I get the double-take like Whiskey's dog, and the slowing/creeping cars when I'm on the road in the hood; they probably think I've got something illegal going on. When I'm in the burbs nobody looks twice because they're doing it too.
with the over-growth of vapeculture, that's not the case anymore. Some are even more annoyed by vapers than smokers, and rightfully so
It's the "Bruhhhhhhh! Sick clouds bruhhhhhhh!" people. The hipsters and scene kids that only do things because everyone else is doing them, but vainly pretend to have been into things "since forever".
My wife went to a concert last night and bought a Hamm's beer and put the pic of the can up on Facebook.
She knows I'm an avid Hamm's breweriana collector and long-time drinker of the Hamm's. I commented " what, did they run out of PBR?" To which I started getting shit from her CA hipster bruhhhs like "what's your problem, Hamm's is the best" and "it's my new favorite" and "Hamm's is ill, bro!".
You see what I'm saying?
There were the people that got into it to quit smoking way back (like 6-7 years ago); then other people got into it 3-4 years ago (I'm assuming most of the people here on VU are in this group) with the voltage/VV mods - Egos, evods, ViviNovas, etc ....
Everyone in the last two categories knows how far things have come, especially over the last year or two. Some of us are modders because we knew the limitations right off the bat, some are building and/or sub-ohmimg and going after clouds or flavor, and some are still content with their cig-alikes and Egos.
Then there's the noobs, oh the noobs... The 18-24 year olds who are jumping in with today's tech, some never having been addicted to cigarettes. They not only haven't done any time behind an ego and have no understanding of what resistance is, but they're still wet behind the ears. All they know is "clouds bruhhh, clouds!" They're starting out on 200+ watt mods with "fire" batteries and tanks. They're running around shopping malls and grocery stores, doing what they saw the ego dudes doing a couple years ago, except for they're blowing a whole fucking low pressure system into the vicinity; wondering why they're getting in trouble when Mr. Ego puffer of 2012 didn't.
Unfortunately they're also the ones blowing their shit UP with shady batteries and too low resistance builds.
These are the people who're helping convince mothers to tell their children we're "drug addicts", chain-smoking coworkers/friends/random people to argue with us about how vaping is worse than smoking, and people to stare at us as they walk/drive by.
