Wow. What A *****.

I just got back from VapeXpo in Ann Arbor Michigan. I had a really good time and met some great people in the industry who I socialize with on my local Facebook groups. I'm already looking forward to Vape in the Fort at the end of August.

I'm kind of kicking myself in the behind for not jumping on a few more deals but overall I think I made out with a nice little score. I don't think I spent more then $60 with another $5 donation to The Vaping Militia.

I was wondering what people think of such stores. I know most of us are against the very thought of tobacco now that we are vapers and I have seen people slam such stores in a couple groups I belong to.

I personally don't mind them because the one I go to is actively trying to turn their tobacco customers into vaping customers. But I know other people who see them as nothing more then cancer merchants since they also profit from tobacco.

One thing I found really interesting is how certain vendors will not do business with them. For instance, on the B&M's Facebook page, they said they were getting Five Pawns juice. I went to the store to buy some and was told that it will only be in their couple vape only shops because Five Pawns refuses to sell their liquid where tobacco is sold. This is a bit disappointing to me because if it wasn't for the tobacco store getting me to switch, I might not be vaping.

rDNA40, $130 and DNA40, $100. Even the DNA30 is $45. Excellent prices for a couple great devices and according to Vaporshark, the prices are permanent. It just sucks I bought a used rDNA for $150 a few weeks ago. Oh well. At least I got a couple shark skins and wireless charger.

I just got done watching a video from Twisted420 who is supposed to be a reputable vape personality.

The video was a review of the 200w Snow Wolf mod box with temperature control. In the video, Twisted420 was vaping it at ~574 F degrees not to mention when he maxed the temp out at ~662 F. Basically boasting about it being the most powerful temp control mod on the market.

From my understanding, Glycerol (VG) decomposes into acrolein at ~535 F (~280 C). Acrolein is an aldehyde that is a decomposition product of glycerol. Acrolien is one of the main connections between cigarettes and lung cancer.

Anybody buying this for high wattage temp control should be aware of this. For even your biggest cloud producing kanthal builds don't heat as high as twisted420 was vaping. So far the people I see using this device in my vape groups are vaping at these very high temps.

I don't ever gripe ..... about anything ...., I am very quiet and to myself a lot. A proud introvert so to speak. But this has been bugging me a lot lately. People gathered in a group "mainly facebook" and laugh and make fun of their local B&M's House Juice. Because nothing under $30 for 30 ml is good enough for them. I have great juice that wasn't massed produced and labeled "premium" Or others who rip apart someone for having a clone or whatever. Not everyone has the money to spend on this high end stuff ..... So I guess that means they should verbally be ripped to {Moderated}.... and called a cheap {Moderated}. or whatever. I thought the vape community was supposed to stick together and support each other's goal of quitting smoking no matter what device, juices what not. We have more things to worry about with fighting supreme court for our right to vape, not singling each other out based on how much your setup costs. Just my thoughts. Feel free to speak your mind.  

I simply just want to hear from people who have not smoked cigarettes and began vaping 0 nic. Please do not lecture me on why you think I shouldn't start. I have done my research (and actually have vaped e-cigs before so I know what it feels like) and would just like to know that there are others in the same boat as me. I enjoy the variety of flavors to choose from and getting to create vapor without the addiction of nicotine. Once again, I will not vape with nicotine.

Thank you!  

With all of the recommendations not to buy the iStick 50W, how can one know what company to trust? I have even heard of an $800 device (not Eleaf) fail. People can't just buy new devices all the time because of bad reports. That would empty your wallet very quickly. Makes one wonder if they shouldn't just go to gum or patch.

I'm still new to vaping.  

I was researching some things on the computer and came across a box mod called the Moxie by Avail Vapor. Avail is a local shop near where I live. I found this video that came up and behold it is a review. It isn't a review by Twisted, Rip or anybody else you wanna add. The video is done by what appears to be a 12 to 13 year old kid. I didn't even find this video cute. What is a 13 year old kid doing with a troll rda and a box mod? I mean come on vaping is supposed to be for 18 and older. People like this are giving vaping a bad reputation. I posted a link to the video. If you get a chance watch a few minutes or seconds and tell me what your thoughts are

With so many debates about public vaping raging here, I started to wonder how many people around us are stealthy vapers?

People who vape at home and in their cars, but not out in public.
People that vape with a stealthy setup indoors - around the corner, in the rest room.
People that go outside and vape with the smokers.
People that use small devices with less vapor.

It was common to see posts here about people never having seen another vaper out and about only a short time ago. Now that vaping is much more mainstream and available, I wonder how many people around us are stealth vapers, getting their nic fix right under our noses? Thousands of ego and evod setups are being sold every day, yet very rarely do I see another vaper, unless I'm in a vape shop.

My guess is that stealthy vapers make up more than 75% of all vapers. They just go unnoticed. They might be standing right next to you.

The Invisible Majority?  

So I'm a 19 year old guy, started smoking when I was 14 and finally quit cigarettes 3 months ago. My parents like that I quit smoking but they think vaping some sort of gateway drug that will make me want to, and I quote, "smoke {OTHER STUFF}". What I don't understand is that both of my parents both smoke a pack a day. I even tried to convince them to switch to vaping but they said they don't want to smoke that "{OTHER STUFF} device". Even when I vape in my room, they come in and get pissed off because they're tired of smelling my "fruity {MODERATED}". How can I convince them to get a better understanding of vaping and potentially start them on it too?
