Very discouraged

[vape-addict]

Hi everyone I'm in a rut haven't vaped in months.I want to go back and be part of the movement again but with all shops closing (and more to come) , the deeming , the proposed taxes , the bans. I feel that the industry is about to go underground and be stagnant and no longer grow.
Vapers are going to be part of some secret society that can only be found on social media.I don't feel I have a right to be on vaping forums if I'm not vaping. I dunno vaping in a closet is not much fun...anybody else feel this way? And thank you in advance for reading this

Don't be discouraged bud. Use this to get fired up. Write your congressmen and reps. Write the Whitehouse. Talk to people AND vape in public (but don't go to jail). Fight for your right to vape.

Vape on

I'm not crazy, my mother had me tested.

By all means, don't be discouraged. Let as many people as possible know about the benefits of vaping. Help dispel all the myths. Contact every politician that you can find contact info for. Join CASAA, they have all that info in a nice, easy to use format. From your local mayor and city council members...all the way to Washington...let your voice be heard...and posting on Facebook is not going to do any good at all. We must let all of these government protectors of the children know that we vote and we'll be watching how they represent us on these issues. OK, I'll get off my soapbox now. But we're not dead yet. There are numerous companies that are very committed to staying the course.

Stop caring what other people are thinking, life is way more enjoyable that way.
Legit shops will stick around, the fly-by-night "lets get as much money as we can" shops, good riddance

Keep your chin up! Vaping isn't going anywhere. They may win a battle here or there but they will not win the war.

I've never vaped in a closet, and don't plan to start. As far as "public places," I don't generally vape there, just 'cuz I got used to not smoking there -- though it's nice to be able to have a few stealthy puffs in a bathroom stall, if necessary. As far as homes/dwellings, if I can't vape there, then I don't go there. Easy.

You can still find vape gear and ejuice at this point, but if you want to vape and keep vaping, you'd be well advised to learn how to make your own coils and ejuice.

Don't be discouraged, i have met a lot of non smokers that actually have thanked me for vaping cause it smells a lot better than cigarettes, just be polite, don't blow smoke towards people and such, id much rather a world full of vapors than cigarette smokers

We're not quite there yet, but at the end of the line we'll all have to decide for ourselves what's more important, your county's regulations or your life.

More like wisps in my case. I'm just trying to keep off cigarettes, not change the weather.

I think cigalikes from big tobacco and the upcoming heat sticks, vaping actual tobacco, would survive.

That being the case, how can they stop us from using our much better gear?

Also, vaping is very regional. Travel for work, now in VT. Eight months ago, almost no one vaped in public. Now I see vapers all the time here. Despite tough local laws and August 8th, announced May 5th.
