To share or NOT to share ...

[Gringo]

So here is the picture of events...

• Whoop whoop im invited to braai or a jol
• Pitch up, meet new people
• Start chatting and you start vaping while others do " stinkies "
• On first sight of your devise an immediate debate is started on the health issues of vaping. ( thanks to Alex, you make quick work of the debate and put such to bed with silver ware in the glass cabinet )
• After a few lemonades the complete stranger that started the debate on the health issues of vaping wants to try out your equipment...( and loves it by the way )
• Now every Tom, **** and Harry wants a go...

What do you do?

Firstly i was a single child, so i dont like sharing
Then people do not realise what juice and devise cost... dropping it and breaking it will be your loss.
Lastly you now stand around like Kieppie with out a vape.

Let me know how you handle these small challenges ....

Oh you want to vape? Lets go to a shop and buy you a decent mod. Aint gonna use mine if you tried to diss the whole thing from the get go. Until you have your own gear, no use of my gear will be allowed.

Get a squonk, and dont tell them about the bottle, turn up watts and watch them coughing up their lungs

 

[CaliGuy]

I have not had this problem yet, none of my friends are interested in vaping let alone trying it.
So I blow flavourful clouds while they puff away on the stinkiest, I have to mask their horrid stench somehow

 

[vicTor]

no one but me gonna suck my mod, they can forget it

 

[GSM500]

I prefer to encourage people to start vaping so I will share but I don't carry my better kit with me so they are welcome to try. Sometimes I have a spare drip tip in the car to let them have a go.

But like @antonherbst , I would not let them put their grubby hands on expensive kit.

 

[Chanel_tvc]

Agreed there, I also don't like sharing. Only person that may touch any of my mods is my significant other. He doesn't mind someone using his mods, and it irritates the living sh*t out of me

I wish..
I have this friend, one of my best mates, he has done 2 Iron Man and 13 Comrades,has never smoked, but man ....
For a guy that does not own a vape, he is vapes like a machien ...and that all because the min we together, he takes over my mod.
Then still orders me to refill... needless to say i only get my vape back when we part ways.

And cause another potential vaper from quitting smoking?

 

[SmokeyJoe]

I dont now. I have a personal relationship with my mods. Plus im a bit of a germaphobe. Especially with people that over salivate. I want to yak when the drip tip is saturated with someone's spit. Except if its Scarlett Johansson. She can suck as much as she wants

That didnt come out right

 

[jm10]

I dont mind, i have let many people that i know try. Converted 1 person so far and thats a win for me

Educating the uneducated should be the main concern....we have to much stigmas attached to us already so why add high horse to it.

If you’re a germaphobe then i totally understand.

 

[Rude Rudi]

I have no problem with sharing as I have worked it out nicely...

My ‘trick’ ensures that they take a drag and very quickly hand the device back to never bother you again!

So, firstly I explain that it is not the same as smoking and that I guarantee that they will cough, regardless of how long they have been smoking for.
The BIG okes off course sees this as a challenge and happily asks for the ‘robot ****’. I crank the wattage up nicely to around 80 and tell them that they must just ‘push the little button’ and take a nice deep drag... 9 times out of ten they (immediately) cough uncontrollably and look like they just played 80 minutes of rugby, red faced and all. At this point there is a certain look in their eyes - a mixture of disbelief and admiration as they have seen me suck the robot **** for the last hour without a single cough. The brave will attempt another draw but most hands it back, defeated.

I calmly take the device back, turn the wattage to my regular setting (stealthily) and take a nice big draw, without a coughing my lungs out.

This teqnique works wonderfully well and I encourage all to employ this tried and tested method.

I dont mind handing my vapes to others to try
Usually they dont like it because its too strong, hehe

But i try to take a spare drip tip with when i remember

 

[Adephi]

I don't go out much. But when friends come to visit I got a cheapy mod all wicked up ready to go if they want to drag. They can have it until they leave. And its less stompies for me to pick up.

 

[Vilaishima]

I don't mind at all.

I do however stealthily wipe it before using it again.

We were once at a work function and some guys were having a chat about vaping. This was before I vaped.

The one guy gave me a toot of his vape and it was a very pleasant strawberry milk juice. I had a single toot.
Some time later I asked if I could have another. He handed me the mod with hesitation and said: " this juice is VERY expensive". I promptly handed it back without using it and was super miffed with the guys attitude.
It took me almost two years to try vaping again I was so disgusted by the guy's attitude.

Your story illustrates an important point @Vilaishima
How one experience with a vaper put you off vaping for a while

 

[MrGSmokeFree]

I don't have a problem with it. I do 18mg MTL Tobacco most of the time. First you get the question " Is that sweet stuff you have in there ?" or "Is your smoke thingy broken it does not make alot of smoke"Ummm nope.

Then I explain what MTL is. If people hear 18 mg nic tobacco and they smell it they run to the hills .But I do offer they can have a go if they really want to do so.

If I can get one person to stop with the stinkies like I did , suck away buddy.

But please don't lick your lips before you do it, I BEG YOU.

 

[Adephi]

The one question I really get tired of. No matter what crowd or how many people are there, there is always the one guy that has to ask.

"Can you smoke weed in it?"

 

[Neal]

I once had one of the "ladies" that ply their trade at the Whynot dance club in Swaziland pick up and have a toot on my set up and could not have a vape until I got home rinsed and disinfected it. I was there purely on business by the way.

 

[Hooked]

@Adephi I've also notices that many people associate vaping with weed. Someone I know recently came back to vaping and bought a mod from me. At the same time he tried out a few bottles of juice. He asked, giggling, "Do you have any of the giggly stuff?" He was just curious - he doesn't use it, but I found it interesting that he would think that I do, just because I have vape juice.

Even my own brother remarked that the vapers must be happy now with the new weed laws!

 

[Hooked]

I share with pleasure - whether it's a vaper who wants to try a different mod / juice, or a non-vaper who wants to try vaping. Juice isn't THAT expensive that one can't allow someone a few puffs.

I think it's important to allow non-vapers to satisfy their curiosity - and maybe win them over to our side of the fence too.

I always have alcohol pads (can buy from Takealot or any pharmacy) in my bag and I usually start off by wiping the drip-tip... but after a while I couldn't be bothered, unless I know that someone has a cold.

 

[RenaldoRheeder]

I share whenever I can. When I go out, I always have at least two extra mods ready and 3-4 juices. 2 of those "spare" mods have found new homes with friends that are now converting from smoking. As one mod leaves, I get a replacement in to take its spot

You're a monster!,..... 18mg

 

[DoubleD]

I don't mind letting someone 'try' but that second time they ask I let them know they should maybe get a kit because I dont like sharing lol
Then there's the d*#s who ran out of stinkies and needs a nic fix, that dude gets told from the get go to go suck a door knob
