Simple solution.... Freshly wound and re wicked device... with no juice. give them a mother of a dry hit.
Ooooooohhhh, what's that?

the OP did say they borrow his mod at random times, can't booby trap the mod you are using
Look joking aside. I am all for good manners. In fact there isn't enough of it going round to be honest... but at the end of the day saying no to sharing a vape has more to do with hygiene than manners.
Here is an extreme case example of what i am saying.
This idea isn't that far fetched. imagine a co worker went to north Africa for work. unknowingly on his way back he touched a hand rail where moment before a person with ebola left a spit ball. this same person makes it back into the country because the virus has not yet manifested itself and he went through all the scans. 4 days later the man asks to borrow your vape.
I know this is extreme example and probably a little far fetched... but then again this last ebola outbreak was a scene out of a bad horror movie and there are other virus out there that can be transmitted this way that may not sound so far fetched. Keep in mind they burnt peoples houses down in the US and in other countries they put peoples pets to death.
Its called a personal vaping device for a reason. its your right to say no
Just my 10 cents

If someone ask to have a toot on my REO I swap the drip tip (keep a spare with me) before they get offended and ask why I'm swapping the tip,I just give them a knowing look and say "you don't want to know",works like a charm,that REO becomes a hot potato and they can't wait to give it back
thanks dude. you right, i mean no1 came up to me asking to smoke my cigs all the time. and on that note, i have a secret weapon that will work for me and not many of you "Sorry dude, i only eat Halaal, and not sure where your lips have been, its a religious thing
sure you understand"

There you go. and your not wrong either. its completely in your right and no one can take offence to that.
I had similar experiences when I still carried my MVP around but since going to mech not at all.
Sub ohm dripper + mech + 18mg juice. They'll nor anyone around witnessing the poor soul coughing themselves into a coma will never ask again. At least that was my experience.
I've since switched to 6mg myself though; since the rumors around the office about me being on crack started due to me rolling my eyes back & pulling my neck crooked while making a clawing gesture with my free hand every time I took a hit. I also worried about how it affected my driving ability to be blacked out for a second or 2 while on the freeway.
Actually come to think about it; perhaps it was the latter that put them off...

I sit with that same problem! It drives me up the wall. And in my case it is my best friend. Se thinks up stuff to come sit here all day, keeps me out of my work. Takes my vape out of my hands even while I'm vaping. Calls me out of a conversation to get my vape from me (her husband forbid her to vape as she is pregnant)
She vapes up more of my juice a day than I do. And the worst of all. I gave her a good vape with good juice and she says strait up se prefers my good stuff. Sometimes while she is here I don't even get to vape because she has my vape.
I cant tel her how I feel because I dont want to hurt her. I love her, she's my best friend.
I know exactly how you feel. And I have no idea what to do about it.
Send while vaping on the Reo mini Thor
I haven't the heart to refuse anybody so i carried a spare mouthpiece and the shlep of changing the mouthpieces every time soon put this to an end.
That's it. I was thinking about prepping my 2 Kayfun, these are not really in use atm, for my guests at home.
Guys thanks for the suggestions, (etiquette as per Robs latest vid) Came in to work this morning... and the inevitable....
"Can i hit your Vape?"......
Was thinking of doing the whole i eat Halaal and dont know where your mouth has been thingy but decided to go for a more direct appraoch.
"By all means, you can smoke all you want, just remember that ive been feeling the pinch recently with buying juices so im going to expect a bottle soon, not joking" explained to him that he would be smoking bound by the crown. not just some 80 bucks bottle. he decided against it, saying that his cigs were enough of an expense for him. hehe, it worked!! i felt a little kak but looking at a full tank makes me happy.
Hope to see some faces at the launch tonight. Wear a tag with your forum handle on it so i know who you are

If you see me come say howsit, im a shy guy. I'll be the little noob with a beard, sitting in the corner puffing on my iStick and nautilis.
Perhaps il pull out my Apollo and Doge when i get the confidence lol. But once the Reos come out I'll just buy my juice and hit the road.

Well here's what I did with the best friend problem. I went over to the vape shop. I bought a subtank nano R400 and a kamry 23W R400. I gave it to him on condition that he pay me back and with the understanding that he isn't touching my rDNA 40 again. Simple. ( it worked) if 800 is too much, I believe there is a thread on the forum where a new vendor is selling an Eleaf ijust 2 for 550 with the "ecigssa" promo code. Buy it give it to them and enjoy your own vape (make sure they pay you back tho
). Hope this helps
DUDE STORY OF MY LIFE.. we had a little vape meet last week and some dronk oak comes outta nowhere and grabs my vape and starts going ahead. I was shocked...
Strangers can look no touch. . . Some interesting facts, most people have herpes of the mouth.
I find if I keep my vape to myself, my mouth health is good, but as soon as friends use it, mouth health goes to hell. Sores, ulsers, the works. and its noticeably increased during "sharing" times. I use a sprayer called O-zone that disinfects in 10secs. everyday. Keeping my mouth piece clean always.

Ways to avoid:
- Give that mo fo a Dry hit, Iv done this before and they never trust you.
- say you are out of juice. Unless they can see your device filled up, (when you go vape and they catch you vaping, say you just found some but its gone now)
- Say you are sick
- tell them about their options to get their own juices to contribute
- Plain so NO to those who stick their hand out, entitled people need to learn about how expensive these vapes are and also maintenance.
- Say "sorry bud but im broke and this is my last bit of juice"
This is the first time I have come across this thread and I must say I never thought of it but this is actually true. I am always willing to let someone I don't know try my vape, if they ask and are genuinely interested. I converted a few friends and that is all good and well but I have found myself drawing the line a lot more lately. I mean a few months ago I would not pay more than R180 for juice but I was my brother coming down on holiday ruined that for me and now I have to have at least 2-3 premium juices in my monthly haul for those nights where my all day diy is not cutting it.
So the people I converted, 2 being friends gfs are always coming to me because their devices aren't performing or they aren't sure of the coil or what juice I have. Now I don't mind in the slightest every once in a few weeks letting them taste my diys but then last weekend they both walk in and without asking fill 4 mpt3's with my Ripe Vapes VCT. About 10 min later I smell the distinct aroma and find out what they did....I blew a gasket. They knew that was my one stock I would let them take a hit of but not freebees....
Now what do you do with that? I told them they were on their own now. Was I out of line? Like how do I deal with something like that? I knew they would always leave their juice at home when they came over and be all sad and I would happily fill their tanks but when someone does that was I wrong to tell them where to go?
Vent of the day over....

You weren't wrong at all, people need to be taught manners. For some reason this was thrown out the window many years ago, along with courteousness, discipline and common sense. I'm sure they know what this shit costs and they're just taking advantage.
I have no problem if someone wants to try what I'm vaping, I actually encourage it, but they at least need their own drip tip. If I want to fill someones tank or give them free juice then I will offer it, asking is rude.

7. Avoid places where drunks frequent.
8. Choose "cleaner" friends who understand basic hi gene.
PS: Ozone (O3) in a spray can / bottle? Ozone can only be stored at temperature below -600C as half life of ozone at room temperature is less than 15min.
Been through this myself and just put things straight from the get go, unless you have your own drip tip you are not tasting my juice!
Perhaps the above situation listed by the poster , is the only time this drip tip would come in handy
That should help with deterring the buggers !

That plan might backfire if it's a chick or a guy that swings the other way.
