General etiquette of vaping

[Dassie]

You really only need one person from the other team to influence the rest. I noticed it as well. At my old company I started vaping and there was funny looks I got until a new guy joined. He didn't smoke but his wife vaped and he would tell the other non smokers how he liked trying the flavors when his wife vaped. it wasn't very long after that that the rest of the non smokers would sniff the juice bottles.

In my current office I have a person who is very much buying onto the crap the media is selling (I had an hour long discussion about Dr F with him this morning, he turned around and told me its bias research cause Dr F also vapes )

But in any case with this guy, I am constantly the but end of the jokes and the rest of the office has followed him. I am now told that I when I go on a "smoke" break I am followed by a row of rats because the SVD looks like a fluit apparently.

sure it me off to no end. but every time he coughs, I just take another puff on the fluit and say "I remember that feeling" usually its followed by a go to hell stare

That is just crappy. But their ignorance doesn't take anything away from how awesome this is! Got new stock of my ADV's and some new ones today, and life is good!

Btw - I HATE bad science. Especially if it's backed by people, who, if they win, will keep on killing people (proven by good science)..

To me personally, I havnt felt this good in a long time and if there was all the crap that the rent a scientist and the so called WHO claims then wouldn't we have been feeling worse off by now?

Edit:

And if those claims where true wouldn't a large number of vapors look like a Star Trek Character?

Exactly. All my work buds feel better - they can breath again. It is noticeable that they breath easier, get sick less often, and have stacks more energy - if this is just nature's way of setting us up for the big fall, I say - bring it on! Life will be good till then. With smoking, I could literally feel myself going backwards year after year - don't need science to know that is bad for you.

My wife laughs - but I will sit and work (chain-vaping when I'm stressed), then get up and go for my 5km run, and while I'm still trying to stop sweating outside, be tooting away. I would love to see what the bad stuff is when they find it.

I suppose we are experiencing these positive effects - and it really is quite mind-blowing just how good the change has been for me personally - while the people who don't can not even fathom it. And then they lash out. It really is a pity that the world has become such an "angry" place. It's like the anti-60s - peace, love, and music has turned into fighting, hate, and money.

I suppose I can undestand it in some way - before I started vaping when I felt like crap most of the time I was alot more grumpy too. It's no excuse - but I do understand it. I don't have to like it though

The first place I noticed it, Diving a 45minute see dive where you have currents and sometimes need to work a little to get to stop and smell the coral was an impossible task.

My last dive was in fresh water close to Brits where there is no current helping you along at the end of a 60 minute dive I still had over 70 bar of air left. that means that my air absorption into my body with every breath has increased which means i'm breathing slower and conserving air.

if I was killing of lung cells at the rate that was mentioned in a report, that would be impossible to accomplish

For sure. I think that is why we are so passionate about this. It is life-changing. And I am almost evangelical about it as well - just want to tell everyone! I am even experiencing some of the "good" things that smoking brings, e.g. the slow, long drags calm me, the sweetness of the vape keeps me off sugar and snacks, and the social side of it is amazing (met many vapers and only a handful of them were asses)

I'm also thinking that there needs to be a "Book of Vape" so I can quote from it

Maybe someone should search the forum and get some good quotes together! We start our own book and then swear it's the truth..

Same here.

we can call it' I'm not smoking, I'm vaping Dammit" I am sure that is on someones avatar

Catchy too.. I approve!

 

[Arthster]

we can sell the book and give the money to Dr F so he can do what he does best. Make the rent a scientist look bad.

The Book of Vape
Chapter 1
Verse 1: Thou shall not burn tabacco; thou must vapourize liquid.
Verse 2: Thou shall spread the word of vaping.
Verse 3: Be happy

Again - not so PC, but when I explained to my kids that I am not smoking, I'm vaping dammit (thought they should know), I took them to the braai, and when the smoke blew in their faces, explained that smoke makes your eyes hurt, then blew each one of them a nice cloud in the face and asked if their eyes hurt.. they understood the difference immediately and have never questioned it again

Everything else is detail!

 

[Arthster]

with some of the things that's been said on this forum, I am sure that book will be a best seller. prologue should be @Silver's story and how the term came to be, that will explain allot of the rest of the book.

That is a briliant way to explain it....the kids better watch out, it's going to get cloudy next time I see them

Everything else is detail!

Agreed! So it's more a "Pamplet of Vaping" but who cares

 

[Dassie]

I am about to fall off my chair - so I bid you fairwell! Thanks for the cool chat. Have a good evening.

 

[Arthster]

cheers @Dassie have a good one.

Someone actually told me that story today. Classic. I think we should all do something to make our names work as a verb

"Hey guys,

I wanted to share with you a project that I’ve been working on for a few weeks now. I created a web site catered towards the advocacy and general etiquette of vaping - basically, a brief overview of the do’s and the do not’s. This is something that should be common sense in our community, but it certainly isn’t always that case. I extended it past just vapers to included businesses and even B&M’s!

My research for the vast majority of the advice stemmed from our community (/r/ECR) as well as CASAA and ECF to determine what we considered to be reasonable behavior by all parties. I definitely welcome constructive criticism to help give the community an ‘unofficial guidebook’.

I set a hard launch date for today, January 1st, 2015. Reasoning? We’re welcoming a bunch of new people into our community with the New Year’s resolutions being in full swing. That’s a great thing!

Take a look and let me know what you think: ResponsibleVaping.com

For B&M’s, I wanted to give you guys the opportunity to get some free product as well. I will provide you with any product that falls into the “no minors allowed” feel: Those can be found over here. If you order those, use code ‘BUYLOCAL’ at checkout and just pay for shipping. I feel strongly that keeping vaping supplies out of the hands of minors is the key to keeping regulations from slamming down on the industry."
