Owning A RDA and Mech Mod Under 18?

Alright well Im going to back track, the other day I was at my local pool with my RDA and Mech Mod as I was leaving I hit it wasn't acting like a d**k chucking vape in peoples faces, just hitting all casual and this older dude comes up to me asks for ID I wasn't acting like a d**k or anything, explained to him I do it for the hobby 0 nicotine and everything, he was still being a d**k about it asking for where I lived and my parents names, then he tried to take it out of my hands thats when I stopped being the nice guy I said no what the hell do you think your doing, dont try to take out of my hands you f**king retard, he said alright well Im calling the police about this you should not be aloud to have a vape. He asked one more time where I lived I told him exactly where I lived and he said he'll show up and have a talk to my parents (my parents support it 100% btw) :D:cool:,I just said whatever and started walking home lol. But just cutting to the chase am I correct where its not illegal to own a RDA and Mech Mod underage if your using 0 nic fluid.

Punctuation. Its the difference between knowing your shit and knowing you're shit...

PS, this is stupid and kids do not need to be inhaling anything like this. This is designed to help quit smoking, not as a freaking hobby. Go fly a kit, go learn to fish. But i cant say with 100000% certainty, you aren't going to get any love or be consoled here. People like you are whats wrong with this industry. Sorry bud, go find a different thing to occupy your precious time. Perhaps pick up a book and learn how to use a period or something. I mean this in the nicest way possible. Surely a lot nicer then dude trying to take your stuff, which I actually support...

If you were a smoker who was trying to quit the cigs, even underage, I'd support ya. But in this case. . . (though that guy shouldn't have touched your shit)

As for whether or not it's illegal, depends on your state. In my state it is, even if it's 0 nic

You just ruined a good day of mine. Hobbies can be whatever someone has an interest in, not what you believe can be one and not. Yes I agree that someone underage shouldn't inhale things that aren't required only because they are still developing. For you to say "oh you can't have this as a hobby because it was designed for something else" is like me saying "no man, you can't collect coins because it's used to settle debts." No matter what anyone says anything can be a hobby. Maybe the use of it should be frowned upon, but perhaps it's keeping him from doing much worse. Also for you to promote the taking of his device is just idiotic, can I try to take your car if you don't have your liscense on you?

How about not vaping in public period?
If it's nothing more than a hobby for you then there's no reason to stir the kettle.
People are ignorant and one sided,there's no changing that fact. Once they believe something there's no changing their minds and there's sure as shit no reason to give them a soapbox.

He's a bit of a prick for coming at you like that without knowing your situation but in the same turn,you're also a prick for using it in public knowing damn well that someone is going to say something.
you claim that you were polite until he crossed a line but I can promise you right now that a lot of the people reading this have kids your age and everyone of us will tell you that you're full of shit.
we've all heard that line one too many times to fall for it anymore.

WOW....just wow, i did not expect this when I woke up this AM. You DO realize that you are just as ignorant as this little kid, and for that I 'almost' pitty you. To answer that silly question, YES, if someone didn't have a drivers license, and they were driving a car illegally, YES it should be taken. For everyone else safety, his included. You cant use "no license on him" rhetoric because the kid is too young, he never had one in the first place. That was a poor example. Then again, you don't seem like you much older then this adolescent nubile , but read on, you may need help just as much as this kiddo...


Don't you get it, the whole vape community is under fire right now, and we have an underage kid coming on here saying a pool lifeguard got mad at him and tried to take his pen, he spewed out a bunch of swears like he a big boy...are you kidding me??...what kind of ignorance are you trying to perpetuate here? Thats NOT one of my mnay a rhetorical question, I w̶a̶n̶t̶ NEED an answer to that one..

You are acting like this kid is able to legally make his own decisions, cause according to the law, he is FAR from that. Mommy and Daddy need to be contacted and this should have the kabosh put on it, even if this kids parents support it, who is to say they even have a clue. I know plenty of brain dead parents. Somewhere someplace, a vape store owners either illegally sold parts or were mislead..PERIOD...end of thread, unless of course you think anyone and everyone should be puffing on vaporizers. Because if that is the case why not get theses kids started even younger? lets get em hooked on inhaling vapor at 10. Just another source of income..

This ass nothing to do with child development, its actually the total opposite, look at the self entitlement of the OP...Seriously its so obvious its sad. What even more sad is someone actually telling the kid that this is okay as long as you are discrete and just as long as you do it in your room.....Do you realize how messed up that is?? If we took that out of context and applied it to ******, or *****, or antifreeze, would that make this mentality any different. Because that is exactly what the media is doing right now....cmon man...

As a species we try to advance, right now you two are going backwards ...

So many people have lost sight of the bigger picture here and are merely trying to do something to look cool. Cloud chasers and people just here to blow smoke, need to find other hobbies, and as far as im concerned, this is a FAR from cool as you could ever be. You are making the rest of the good honest people look bad.

There is no reason that anyone could give,to make this okay....ZERO ZILCH NADDA....sorry for ruining your day. Guess what, id do it again in a heartbeat if it meant that CHILDREN are finally being told NO for a change. .Parents need to beat that kid anyhow, I would have been crying till next week if I talked back to an adult like that as a child, right wrong or indifferent.

You want some excitement and, log on to vapetvlive.com and tell this story to a guy by the name of "Blacksmithpro" I would pay money to hear him read this kid the riot act....and you too

To answer the question, no..its not legal under the age of 18.

In my opinion the guy was more concerned acting like he did about it...i did things that werent legal also when i was under 18 but to do something of that nature in public is asking for a confrontation ,as such happened.

My advise is vape at home if youre gonna do it..Perhaps choosing this as a hobby isnt the best choice but we all make our choices and learn from them as we "grow up"... If i was your parent i would certainly rather you vape than smoke even IF nicotine was involved.

Be much less discrete in public is my advice and if you can figure out a way to not use vape as a "hobby", i would consider that as well.

You know, I get the whole view on the situation with vaping and all and how this was an incident we dont want but , suggesting he should be "beatin"?, to learn respect is frankly a stupid suggestion and one i would step in the middle of if i saw happening...i have before and i would again. ..To most any person ;someone coming up to you with an attitude and threats is going to spark something back..so not that hes trying to be some "baddass" but it was a defensive response to a situation after something was trying to be taken from him and threats made...We learn as we grow up so ,stop being the hard ass as if youve never did anything "wrong" as a kid yourself.

"Somewhere a vape store is selling part or accessories illegally."

First off no. Ever heard of the internet? Point me to a kid (not some 5 year old obviously, but over the age of probably 14 or 15), that does not have a credit card. All you need is the ability to click "yes I'm over 18" and a credit card and you can buy and vaporizer you want.

For you to suggest beating a child for doing something such as vaping is f***ing crazy. If it was drugs I'd say there is an issue, but simple vapor? Not an issue. There is never an excuse to beat a child because of what they do. I know, because I've read some of the threads, that some people on here started cigs underage. Would you rather that?

At this point you're just being foolish. You're telling me I can steal something from someone simply because it displeases me that they have it. The vaping community isn't as f***ed as you think it is. Just like any community we tend to see only the bad things in the news about us, which is all they report. When's the last time you heard about someone laying flowers on an entire graveyard to honor those who've died? Never. But tell me the last time you HAVEN'T heard of a murder in the news.

You took the beating like i meant to literally beat the child....give me a break people..The heck kind of person do you think I am...a good swift kick in the ass is what what Im talking about, a switch whooping. Ya know, where Moms makes you go out and pick the branch she going to punish you with when I took something that didn't belong to me or spoke out of place ...Im not advocating kicking a kid in the face or elbowing him in the sternum ...sheesh

Kids are suing parents for a simple spanking and you are giving me crap?? Sometimes you need to see just how far that foot is able to go. Children have no care and no morals...me thinks there is nothing different with this one. That being said, Im honestly glad he isnt out smoking crack and is at the pool tho. Good for him, Im a swimmer, its a huge part of my life, and I hope it is for the lil dude.

Kids drinking beer at home just because they are with the parents does NOT make it okay either...no wonder this world is all messed up, all these little things we do now that would never fly years ago.. We are teaching kids, that this may be wrong, but its okay if you do it at HOME...Blows my mind that people are actually advocating this crap, and giving the one person speaking up about it the real 'talking to"..where did this world go wrong??

Ill just keep stocking up on my diy supplies so I don't have to worry about the new rules and laws coming up soon. :)


Please if you ever are offended by this post and ANY of my other posts, imagine if everything I said was in a mostly sarcastic tone and we were buddies drinking beers at the bar. I re-read, pretty much, everything I type out loud to ensure that it is something I would actually say in person...That means, I would say this to your face, and online. Im not a coward and do not stand for any iniquitous treatment in real life, or online. I don't pretend to be anything I'm not, you get all or nothing from me, I yam what i yam. The youngun has some growing to, so do I, and so does everyone reading this. I can only hope he's capable of at least understanding what Im trying to say. Right wrong or indifferent. Hes a swimmer, which means he knows how to multi task....I have faith in him.

I'm really not bothered by this whole thing to be honest. Last night I was too tired to give a shit about anything...both entitled to our opinions and I understand you didn't mean actually beating them. And yes it is good that he isn't doing crack at the pool, at least we agree on that

It actually can be illegal depending on the state/city they are in, even if there are no federal laws on it yet.
And I do not support underage vaping even with parental consent. We can't say it completely harmless because we don't know ourselves, it hasn't been around long enough to know what side affects it will have if any. I vape as a consenting adult and know that there maybe risks involved. A minor does not have that same choice..

In one of my few appearances as a working VU Moderator and Staff Member........................................

Bro, you gotta go!

And as of a moment ago, I lifted a small version of the "Ban Hammer" and closed down your account.

If you look at the very few rules of the forum http://vapingunderground.com/threads/rules-of-the-forum.255/

This is the very first rule you will see.

Be an Adult! (and yes, that means members are 18+, no exceptions)

And there is no amendment to the rule that states "With the exception of Snapy1"

No doubt you read the rules before you joined as when you filled in your personal profile, you stated your age as being 56.

Which is clearly a fraudulent statement. Or outright lie on your part. Your pick which one.

This (and the others) rule is in place for very good reasons.

The Vaping Underground cannot and will not be a community that will come under fire for having underaged members talking about engaging in illegal activities or be seen as aiding and abetting illegal activities.

Such as "Child Endangerment"

The FDA is in the process of issuing their "Deeming" regulations as I write this. The FDA and the ANTZ already have a burr up their fannies with the idea that E-Liquids that are candy, fruit, beverage and desert flavors only exist to entice or market to children (As in anyone under the legal age of smoking in the state where they reside) so they will become vapers themselves.

And if they see VU as well as other forums having underaged members, that only gives them more ammo to persecute the vaping community at large with.

Sorry, but the laws of the land trumps your parents support and permission hands down even if you think that what you are doing is completely legal as you are not using an E-Liquid that contains Zero nicotine.

As far as you stating that this is your hobby, I suggest you find a new one.

That is not breaking the law or even playing in a grey area.

A HUGE percentage of members here are ex smokers that have used vaping as a way to finally defeat their addiction to smoking when all else had failed.

We all know that vaping is a lot safer than smoking but it is still not as good as fresh clean air.

I hope I have made myself clear on why you have been banned.

And if you wish to talk to your most supportive parents about this issue, please make sure that they have read this as well.

PS, this is stupid and kids do not need to be inhaling anything like this. This is designed to help quit smoking, not as a freaking hobby. Go fly a kit, go learn to fish. But i cant say with 100000% certainty, you aren't going to get any love or be consoled here. People like you are whats wrong with this industry. Sorry bud, go find a different thing to occupy your precious time. Perhaps pick up a book and learn how to use a period or something. I mean this in the nicest way possible. Surely a lot nicer then dude trying to take your stuff, which I actually support...
I partially agree, immensely disagree with this statement.
First, this is in FACT a hobby for me I could cut to 0 nic and I would still vape. I'd still enjoy building coils, diy, etc. Although it started as a way to quit smoking it quickly became a a hobby, I'm certainly not the only one here with said feelings.
One another note, I would rather a younger than 18 individual vape than smoke. So if you started to not smoke, I support you. If you started to "be cool" and blow clouds, I strongly disagree. Why affect your lungs to any risk if you don't/didn't have an addiction? It's not "cool" to smoke, it's also not cool to vape because you want to "blow sick clouds bro". Especially underage. If you were an adult I'd say basically the same thing, followed by "but you're an adult, as long as you know the risk, do as you please".
Anyway, you're a your own individual, and where I live cops don't too often stop young people from smoking cigarettes here. Not saying it's OK just saying the law probably isn't going to stop you because you're vaping.
And regardless, you're totally in the right, and have more self control than I did in my teens, that guy would have been pressing assault charges if anyone tried to take something from me, so kudos for not taking it a step further. Also, there's A LOT of creeps and scumbags in this world, you should never tell some random dude hanging out at a public pool where you live.

Everyone believes in freedom until someone says or does something they don't agree with.

Let's make everything illegal that people do to be cool. I would have so much more money to do uncool shit.
