Who hates vaping besides me?

I’m secure enough in my masculinity to vape Raspberry Cotton candy. Once.

I’ve recently quit vaping and now snuff is my only nicotine delivery. Couldn’t be happier because I much prefer the buzz, the action of taking snuff and also it’s far cheaper (I even made my own vape juice and it’s still far cheaper!). Also, I no longer have to worry about filling my tank or taking extra batteries. To be fair though, vaping did get me off of cigarettes.

I agree. It drives me up a wall when people wear them around their neck like some hipster medal of honor.

I quit cigs in April, after 25 years of heavy smoking. It was a hellish transition, but vaping played a important part of the equation in getting me off the cigs, and has been a huge help in keeping me off them for the last three months. I’m currently weaning down from them, but they are still part of the equation at this moment in time. Yes, I do sometimes wear mine round my neck for convenience, and to prevent damage or spillage in a pocket. I don’t consider it a fashion accessory, and neither do I consider myself a hipster. It’s helping me recover from a 25 year addiction. If that makes me a douche, then so be it. Quite frankly, I don’t give a shit, and I won’t be changing my coping strategies just to appease the narrow minded.

How come an addictive substance in the form of vaping products and NRT aids can be advertised on the televitz device ( in the UK at least ) under the pretence of smoking cessation? For the life of me I can’t envisage glitzy ads for branded methadone endorsed by celebs to get smackheads off heroin. I smell a rat cos I’m quick on the draw like that!

Vaping is expensive compared to snuff IMO because with vaper, you need to get atomizers and different burners or box mods etc…

I don’t hate vaping, it’s just that I started to like it at one point till I learned about snuff, then all my pens just stay where they’ve been for months, in the drawer.

I love vaping. I have been doing it for around 4 years now. Learned to build on mech mods. Learned OHM’s law and spent countless hours teaching safety. I loved smoking cigarettes. I just hated the taste and the potential nasty cancer bit. However hipsters have invaded the scene. Within their arrogance, I have been insulted day in and day out by them working in shops having no clue about the products they sell and their general piss poor attitude. I order juices, wire mods and batteries online just to avoid dealing with these morons. However with my busy lifestyle and the inability to have a fox whenever I like because now its legally in the se class as cigarettes, I’m very turned on to snuff as a flavorful companion to my Variable Wattage mod.

@mrsniffles vaping can be expensive. But if you restrain from buying a new atomizer every month your costs can be as low as $60 a month. I was spending upwards of $400 a month on cigarettes before I made the switch.

Jesus, why start a thread bashing another means of helping people quit smoking? Anyway, back on topic-I never much got into vaping because of how expensive it can get and not really knowing how dangerous the chemicals are. I would also bet people seeing someone stick tobacco up their nose would be labeled as gross or a hipster.

The only possible unknown variable iin juice (from good manufacturers) is the synthetic nicotine. You can buy PG in health food stores or Walmart in medical grade and most pharmacies carry VG. Most flavoring you buy online are food grade as well. Even if they fond something down the road that is a danger, it still is hardly as dangerous as smoking a cigarette or any other form of combustible.

I smoked 20 years. The day I vaped I quit and have not touched a cig in 4 years. I quit because work, restaurants, hotels… etc became illegal to smoke in my state. I thought cool I will just start vape instead. Now I can’t vape in public because it’s banned everywhere so I’m going to throw out my rig and snuff instead. Next they will ban snuff import and I will be fubar. Seems like the gov won’t leave me alone. Last time I was in the hospital was never so don’t give me that B.S about how I am a drain on healthcare. P.s. when I vape in public I hold it in after a hit and blow out no smoke. If I didn’t hold the rig to my mouth you couldn’t even tell I was doing it… just want my nicotine and to be left alone.

Going to switch to the least harmful tobacco which is snuff. Thanks government for getting me back to tobacco and killing me. Hope the lobbyists paid for a nice second vacation home for you.

@peacock yeah I live in Illinois. The tobacco act goes into affect 2018. You got about 16 months till the ball drops to get your parents off cigs. After that every flavor (menthol, blueberry, cherry) from every manufacturer Will need to be fda approved. The cost will be millions per flavor. So if you have 30 flavors in your inventory you better I have a large bank account. This cost will get passed to the consumer of course. Driving out most low cost choices. From what the video above shows the u.k. is doing the same thing. Along with it they are also lowering the quantity you can purchase. No more bulk. Just a matter of time before they add a luxury tax for healthcare purposes. So instead of choices we will be stuck with a few top players in the game and inflated prices. In the end the price will be almost the same per day as cigarettes. People will say $#=@ it I may as well be smoking cigarettes. Win for tobacco companies and big pharmaceutical. They have already talked the public into Deming it a public nuisance and I get looked at like I am a smoker again. My wife’s grandma tells us every time we see her that we should go back to cigarettes because e cigs are dangerous. Scare the public, control the facts, destroy the competition. I’m giving up and moving on to snuff happily. If you wanna vape get bulk before 2018 or your wallet is going to pay. Just my 2 cents.
