I'm done with vaping. (self.electronic_cigarette)

PM_Me_AssnTitties が 投稿

Let me preface this by saying I've been vaping for over 2 years now and have worked in a B&M for over 1 year.

I'm going to lay down some hard truths. This community is full of shitheads and douche bags, and you're most likely one of them. I know I was. The amount of bragging and overall fuckery in this community is worse than a damn college frat. No one cares how low your build is. No one cares how big your cloud is. No one cares how expensive your rig is. You spent 300 dollars on a metal fucking tube so you can stroke your dick about how far you can chuck your cloud. Congratulations. Too bad you can't put that on a resume. I've never met a bigger collection of self entitled morons and conventions are the worst of all. There isn't even a game to it anymore. It's just walk up to a vendor and say "what can I have for free?" and when someone tells you no, you give them a bad review. Fuck you if you do that. You're an entitled shithead and no better than a god damn toddler. People have to work for a living. I know this is a strange concept for a lot of you, but that's how the world works.

I see these kids day in and day out. They work minimum wage at Dominos and vaping is their whole life. They think they can just start a juice company and be lazy fucks their whole life. It's so fucking pathetic. No drive, no ambition, no college, no tech school, no desire to do anything besides post that next insta video so they can get sponsored. Which brings me to my next point, sponsorships and cloud comps. I watched this community change from friendly cloud comps where the winner gets a bottle of juice to cutthroat competitions where the winner gets 10k, yes literally 10k, I'm not being hyperbolic, and the competition ends in physical altercations and actual resentment between groups of people. Over a fucking cloud comp.

Shops, vendors, machinists, everyone in the community who is a part of this "sponsorship" only perpetuates this mentality. I get it though. It's cheap advertising. It's playing on the stupidity of this community to push your own product. I can't count the number of companies who make shit or overpriced products but are insanely popular because they got what's-his-dick (or what's-her-dick) to post an insta video for them. The worst part about it though? The people in this community are too stupid to look at a product objectively and make their own decision about it.

You want to government to take you seriously? You want to avoid regulation? You want to "save vaping." So stop acting like a bunch of god damn children and clean up your act. This community has a victim-complex as bad as SJW's on tumblr. No one takes you seriously because of your own actions. It's not a great conspiracy to end vaping, it's much simpler than that. Vaping is taking money away from a great deal of industries and it's easy to attack this market because it consists almost entirely of morons and fools.

This community sucks, is full of assclowns, and I'm fucking done. I'm quitting my job and moving away from this cesspool. Yes, I'm being crass but I don't give a fuck because I'm severing all ties to this community.

Mods, go ahead and delete this and ban me. I don't give a fuck because I've already unsubscribed.

By the way, if you down vote this because you feel offended or are pissed off at my criticism, you're exactly the person I'm talking about.

I understand disliking the vapeholes out there. But many of us are people just proud to quit smoking.

[–]OMGEntitlement8 December 2014 194ポイント195ポイント  (102子コメント)

Yeah, same, and of the 6+ people I know who vape, none of them give a shit about bragging on their rigs, or blowing the biggest clouds or any of that shit. All of them are just happy to not be smoking cigarettes.

[–]ravageritual 98ポイント99ポイント  (91子コメント)

Agreed. Don't know if it's our age (35+) but every person I know that vapes could give a squat about clouds, sub-ohms, or what rig someone has. We share what juices we like and lend each other batteries and tanks when in need. To be honest, I've never met a douchey vaper.

[–]SaintAnthonysFire 22ポイント23ポイント  (17子コメント)

Same, the B&Ms are the worst. Run by idiots, idiot employees with absolutely no sales experience or customer relations knowledge, just a plethora of useless information, about things I don't give a fuck about. The customers are all young kids who never smoked and think vaping big clouds make them cool. They hang out and bs with the employees so when people who want to get in and out come by, they look at them like they are inconveniencing them. I hate it.

[–]_Nymphae 5ポイント6ポイント  (9子コメント)

I'm shocked most B&M stores act like this, considering it's so easy to get absolutely everything I need online. There's a B&M near me that only has 1 register, and takes like 15 min with each customer. I go in for a bottle of juice and I'm there for over half an hour, just waiting in line, and there's only 3 people.

[–]bigsheldyMVP2 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

I've found it's the same way with a lot of the medicinal marijuana dispensaries and generic smoke shops here in California. The people running the shops have little or absolutely zero knowledge of business, accounting, management, etc. and have basically cornered a small part of a popular market and are wildly overcharging for their products in some attempt to make a profit off of their non-existent business plan. I have to blame it on the clientele for these kinds of places, in most other retail/sales industries a shop ran like the way I've seen most B&Ms wouldn't last a month.

[–]elnots 1ポイント2ポイント  (1子コメント)

confirmed, local shops spend way too much time with each customer and are sometimes 2-3x higher in price than high quality online stores. I went local 3 times before I swore it off forever and just bought online.

    Honestly my local B&M is great, the owner is an awesome guy as well as the employees and they all are knowledgeable and helpful to new people. But goodness grief half the time I walk in I meet a cringeworthy 18-19 year old, or some bro that cant stop talking about how hardcore he is...etc etc etc. It sucks. Neither me or my friends are like that, we just have our single setups that we have been using for a long time, not buying new shit every 2 weeks, and enjoy it and are happy its not smoking. Is it fun to blow big clouds? Yes sometimes if your not an ass about it of course its fun! Good flavors while you vape? Good too, but not when people start getting all high society about it and way to into it. Its the same thing as any other hobby, the people that get way to into it and obsessed make everyone else think we all are crazy cringey wierdos, and make us shake our heads at them.

    A few days ago I went into my local B&M and everyone was just hanging out on the couch, no one was behind the counter. I walked in and they all just looked at me. I jokingly said, "Hi, so who wants to help me?" and they all looked at each other.

    I seriously needed 2 things. It took them longer to get off the couch than it did to help me.

    [–]Lithiar 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

    This is pretty much why I stopped going to B&Ms. That, and the last I went to the shop I would occasionally go to and surge on their juice, the guy treated me like I didn't know how to use and wick an RDA despite having stood there trying their juices on the one I was using without any problems. Like I get that they're trying to sell product, but talking down to customers is not the way to do it.

      My local "scene" consists primarily of the following;

      1. 16-18 year old's, with IPV Minis, blowing clouds at every park and basketball court in town.
      2. 20-somethings who want the bars to look like they have fog machines in them
      3. 30-40 year old's with gas station vape pens (good for them though!)
      4. People who really enjoy vaping as a hobby, but don't feel the need to tell the world about it (this is where I fit in).

      The joys of living in a tiny town in MN.

      I guess that would be me. Just bought a 25 euro vape pen 2 months ago to help me cut down on my tobacco consumption, and thought this might be an interesting sub. Turns out I have no idea wtf anyone is talking about. I swear, a mac user would find /r/pcgaming more enlightening than I find this subreddit.

      I'm looking to upgrade to a slightly more expensive model, but I've given up all hope of finding any advice from this sub or /r/vaping. Life's too short to try and decipher all the complexities. I just want to buy something that works and that I don't have to think too hard about.

      You could try.... you know.... posting a thread asking for help? Or is that too much to ask?

      This community has always been very helpful to me.

      Gee, that isn't encouraging. I found this sub a couple days ago and was hoping I could gain some insight from the folks here.

      This is literally the first post I've read here, so I'm hoping it is an outlier, but it sounds like it might not be.

        eGo One/One Mega/One Mini. Choose the one that fits your form factor and battery needs.
        There's also the iJust 2.

        Slightly more advanced, box style.

              Same age bracket, and though I have several friends who vape, I don't know a single vapehole personally.

              However, I did go to a new shop's "grand opening meetup" last year, and I can confirm that vapeholes do in fact exist. It was my first (and only, to date) interaction with them. I'm not sure how to describe the atmosphere, other than "I'm too old for this shit". I'm not sure I would have been into it in my early 20s either, but maybe I'm just misremembering how much of a douchebag I was.

              In any case, being 5 years cigarette-free is all the bragging rights I need.

                exactly, the only other people i know that vape are at my college and we dont try to make ourselves out to be some kind of clique, we honestly only talk about it if one of us may have a new flavor none of us have tried or something.

                Totally. And my vaping friends are all in that 18-25 target market. We'll talk about the newest tech, our current builds, the new wicking technique. But we're not assholes about it. We're happy to be quit smoking. We congratulate each other on milestones since we quit. I got my friend a bottle of nice juice for his 1 year quitiversary.

                Yeah, probably because most of us aren't knee-deep in it. It's a way to get away from smoking and in my experience the "community" has been nothing but friendly and helpful.

                I feel like you'll get 18 year old douchebags in any industry or hobby. Gaming, e-cigs, cars, computers, hell, even books.

                  I know some of the vapeholes. Me I use an eleaf istick and from what I understand it's an old one. I couldn't tell you anything else besides it was black but over time and through use it has turned a cool greenish color. But I do know it works. I know I have an aspire nautilus tank. Only because I have to buy coils for it. I buy one flavor of juice from a local shop and never change it. So if I wanted to brag or boast I think I would be laughed out of whatever group was doing that boasting.

                  You should see the shit I get from sub 30 year olds about my e-roll.

                  Yet people age 35-dead love it and ask questions because it looks like a cigarette and not a fucking VHS tape. Oh and it can't hit 1.21 jigawatts. That seems to be a issue with the kids.

                  26 here. Fuck those guys. Do whatever you need to do to keep you off the stinkies and if it works for you then its their problem. I would never judge someone for using a device that helps them keep of smoking just because it's not a 200w monster with sub ohm coils.

                      I think this is 'police officer syndrome," or "stripper syndrome" where people in the industry only see one side of their 'patrons.' Strippers think all men want to use them for is their bodies - policemen think all people are scum.

                      Bro, you work at a vape shop.. guess what you're going to be talking about?

                      I'm a casual vapor who goes in once a month to buy juice, check out new product, and find out what makes new stuff better. I'm the guy that asks you if there are any awesome new fruit flavors and what the difference is between all the subtanks and likely buys one. I might even sit down and vape with you if you're not a dick.

                      Any 'hobby' has the enthusiasts that are the social outcasts and find respite in a community that accepts them, so they likely try to be at the top of the 'skill' level so they can find praise they otherwise would never find.

                      Now that you're out, if you don't fuel the hate and terrible experiences you've had, you may find yourself seeing people and vapors differently, especially when you're at a concert or walking down the street and see most people with e-go's just getting their nic fix.

                      I wish you the best bro, I don't think you wish us ill, I think you're just burnt out.

                      True, but what OP is saying definitely resonates. As much as there are folks who used vaping as a means to "quit" smoking (like me), there are a plethora of folks who never smoked and have a slightly different mentality. Just saying.

                      but who cares? just because someone smoked for 20 years doesnt give them any greater reason to vape than anyone else or really make them any less likely to be an asshole. im just saying, being a smoker doesnt make anyone more valid than another, there are plenty of vaping assholes who use to smoke too. hell, some people might think being a smoker might make someone more likely to be an asshole considering a lot of smokers had zero concern for smelling like shit around others and constantly throwning cig butts on the ground.

                        His rant isn't criticism, it's him smelling the shit on his own shoes.

                            For 90% of vapers, it's about quitting smoking. Of the 10% or so that are "enthusiasts", only about 1% act like vapeholes. Don't let the minority ruin it for you.

                                  Exactly. I started to quit smoking when my GF became pregnant and had to quit smoking about a year and a half ago. It wasn't fair to her or my baby to continue. Now it has become a hobby, but i don't have to have the latest gear. I've never stepped into a cloud comp and other than winning things on reddit have never received anything free from a vendor. I don't preach to smokers as if I'm superior and I greatly enjoy helping new vapors quit smoking safely. Now I know some vapers that only do it to be "cool" and have no idea what they are doing and are always on the verge of blowing themselves up with an unregulated box. I first try to talk to them about safety if they ignore it and dont want to listen I ignore them and stand a few extra steps away when they are vaping =).

                                  agreed, fuck the assholes. ECR makes it seem like they are everywhere. Most people who vape don't give a fuck about cloud comps, low builds, and fused claptons. I vape for myself and I enjoy new innovations but truly hate the "community" aspect.

                                  Surely you don't hate the entire community, right? Every group, when it grows, absorbs people that embody the negative aspects of any hobby. It's part of the growing pains and it's up to reasonable people to at least try and give them a sense of what they may be doing that could be perceived in a negative light. Reasonable, knowledgeable and helpful voices are the difference between /r/ecr and /r/vaping.

                                                  While I agree with a lot of what you said, you are cowardly running away rather than acting to better the hobby/industry.

                                                  Those who are the most vocal and radical often make up the image of a group. You can look at any scene and see this, be it cars, gaming, whatever. I agree it sucks, and it sucks for people to have a preconceived image of you based on other people. It's the way of the world though. Stand strong and distance yourself from those behaviors. I am an old dude, with a wife, kid, job, mortgage, the works. I am not those guys at cloud competitions, or asking for handouts. The last convention I went to I never asked a single vendor for anything free and spent 6 hours stopping and talking to every vendor I came across.

                                                  Don't lump everyone into your jaded cynical view of what vaping has become because you're only seeing half the picture. Associate with decent people and let the others dig their own hole.

                                                  And let's be honest, every community has dickheads.

                                                  I used to cycle very seriously, hundreds of miles a week. I ended up losing my passion for it because of a few people in my club who took if far, far too seriously and ended up making me dread going out on a ride. One guy specifically would constantly call me out, call me a slacker or a weekend warrior constantly because I didn't go out on rides with him because I would rather spend time with my girlfriend (who at the time was about to move 6000 miles away for a year.). Now don't get me wrong, I can take a bit of banter, loads of the other guys in the club called me a weekend warrior as a joke but at the end of the day it was clear it was a joke and that they were cool with it. This one guy wasn't cool with it. Credit where credit is due, this guy was fit, I'd struggle to keep up or take shifts on the front of group when he was riding. Rather than help me along and suggest tips to improve like the other guys did, he just mocked me.

                                                  In the end I stopped cycling. And you know what? I really regret it. Not only did I end up moving away from a solid friend group, but I lost all my fitness and and my passion. Looking back I should have seen that it really was as simply as distancing my self from that specific guy, not the community.

                                                  On the upside, it's taught my a valuable lesson. You can join any community and there will be a select few ruining it for others, distance your self from them, not the community you enjoy and lets face it, you wouldn't have started if you didn't enjoy it.

                                                  Exactly this. I saw it in the four wheeling industry at regional events, always a few assclowns who didn't follow the rules, they end up getting trails shut down and hurting the majority. I saw it in the duning industry, assclowns driving beyond their limits, injuring people. In the gaming industry we have the loud minority of racist, homophobe teenagers.

                                                  People will always try to impress themselves, and in doing so, anger others. It doesn't matter the industry.

                                                      You are mainly talking about people in their early 20s embracing a new hobby while trying not to die from cancer. Yeah some go too far, but its brand new. They are finding their way.

                                                      So go ahead and fuck right off. We certainly don't need a shop boy telling us the best way to make make headway in legitimizing the industry. I'm glad to see you go. You wont be missed by me.

                                                        I'm thinking you must have had to deal with some really bad people, and I am sorry. I can say I kinda know what you mean. I have been in a B&M before, when I first started, and was pretty much ignored and had to figure things out on my own. I didn't let it deter me from vaping, though.

                                                        I will never enter a cloud contest, but I was pretty proud when I got my first RDA. It kinda felt like a step up. I still primarily use my tanks and non temp controlled coils and blow clouds that aren't full of second hand additives.

                                                        I'm sorry about your experiences that tarnished your views on an entire community. I know this is your throwaway, and I hope you see this. Congrats on quitting smoking and getting down to 0 as well! That is huge, and I would be proud!

                                                        Also, I never presume to get anything for free, but I imagine that it does happen. I would be pretty upset if I saw people abusing the system as well.

                                                        Do well out there in the world, OP.

                                                        I'm going to lay down some hard truths. This community is full of shitheads and douche bags, and you're most likely one of them. I know I was.

                                                        ...

                                                        By the way, if you down vote this because you feel offended or are pissed off at my criticism, you're exactly the person I'm talking about.

                                                        Yea, no. I'm downvoting you because you're automatically assuming that everyone here is like the douchebag that you used to be (though, I'm inclined to say you still are that douche). I, for one, do not chase clouds or brag about how low by build is ever. I'm in this so I can have a more satisfying and healthier replacement for the habit of smoking cigarettes. I enjoy the technology behind it. I window shop constantly but only buy new mods when it's necessary. I chat with people about their preferences and try to give suggestions about what could make their experience better. Lots of people in this subreddit, from my experience, are not cloud-chasing douche-bros.

                                                        I'm sorry you've associated with all of the terrible people most of us are sick of and complain about, but get off your fucking high-horse. You don't sound any better than any of them.

I've never even encountered any of the people you describe. You know why? Cause I just go down to the goddamn ecig shop, get some tanks, get some juice. You seem to be the one following these douchecanons on instagram and getting all up into the vape douchebag community, lol.

                                                        I see these kids day in and day out. They work minimum wage at Dominos and vaping is their whole life. They think they can just start a juice company and be lazy fucks their whole life. It's so fucking pathetic. No drive, no ambition, no college, no tech school, no desire to do anything besides post that next insta video so they can get sponsored.

                                                        Excuse me, but fuck you guy. I have a full time desk job, with benefits and decent pay. I have a Bachelor's Degree and a drive to make my dreams come true. I couldn't give a fuck about cloud chucking, or not being able to vape indoors in my state. Thanks to this sub, I'm educated on what's in e-juices, and proper safety protocols of mod usage. I'm not lazy, dumb, or pathetic. Your generalization is offensive to everybody here that's simply proud to have finally quit cigarettes. You, sir, are the assclown.

                                                        You'll take your downvote, and you'll LIKE it. Doucheknuckle.

                                                        I don't have any of the problems you have. Do you know why? Because I don't care about cloud comps, I don't care about conventions, I don't care about how low your build is, and I don't care how big your clouds are.

                                                        I care about providing myself a healthier alternative to smoking, and your plea for attention described as a rant about others makes me happy that's all I care about in this community.

                                                        No, you got it all wrong. The problem here is that we are trying to have a community, made up of assclowns. but give it time, and the d-bags will move along. i have seen this happen before with brand new things in life. The people that get sucked into the trashy commercialism will get bored, and find something different to fuck over and the companies they once supported will go under.

                                                        I'm not going to go through point by point, but you're flat out wrong. Vaping can be a tool to help people quit smoking. Vaping can be a hobby that people enjoy and a relatively inexpensive one at that. The community at large is great. People trying to help each other out, motivate them to stay off cigarettes, teach about safety.

                                                        The small number of douchebags you're talking about mostly don't hurt anyone and are really none of you're fucking business.

                                                        I can't speak for everyone, but I won't miss you.

Especially some stores around Chicago. You guys can't even help a newbee without putting me down. You tell me to get this and that without really listening to my problems? When I buy your shit you tell me "ohh... I like that one better because of this problem..." blah... Enough is enough.

                                                        I do have to say though... Reddit folks have been actually really helpful. It's more of the IRL experiences I've had so far that kinda bent me.

                                                        I can understand the frustration. I have been in stores that are like that. I have also felt the same way when I go to hobby stores for RC cars or even computer stores. Anything that is a hobby you will find people that are assholes know it alls. If you are still interested stick to ECR, the community as a whole is willing to help and give advice.

Really really bad service. If you have time, search the vape stores near Wisconsin. There are great ones there.

                                                        But reddit I am very pleased with, you just have to learn to sift the douchbags when you are reading. But imo that applies for all of reddit life

Hey i'm all for people wearing vape shirts, entering cloud comps(silly), or even dripping in a public park. If thats you then have at it! But i just dont want to be associated with those people. My vape stays in the car when i take it with me.

Hell the first time i got a second hand mod and old ass atty i was in heaven. Of course cloud chasing is fun, and a think a majority of us know what it means to work for a living. Conventions of any type are like what can I have for free for the most part, and the other part are people trying to get to know each other. I would say overall the vaping community is probably my favorite group of people at the moment, because I get on here daily, and read the successes of other people and it makes it easier for me to keep on vaping. Some people actually like blowing big ole clouds.

Same one for over 2 years now. This subreddit is 99% better than the people you meet on the street. I would akin your rant to people who play video games and those who are "PC MASTER RACE" cringe wizards.

                                                            My point is, I feel you. I understand, and I know this rage. I hope that you find a nice group of people to vape with that are adults and nice.

                                                            You may make some valid points, but I think the bottom line is that you're an asshole. Where the fuck do you get off judging kids for working at Dominos without having any secondary education when you work at a fucking vape shop?

                                                            Frankly, get off your high horse and go fuck yourself. My experience of the community has been vastly different than yours, and I don't mean this subreddit. Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.

                                                            OP works in a vape shop. He sees a lot of the guys who hang out in vape shops and go to "cloud comps". His view is biased by his disproportionate exposure to vapeholes.

                                                            I see vape holes rarely, very rarely, because I don't hang out in a vape shop or go to "cloud comps".

                                                            OP can hate those guys all he wants, in fact I encourage it. However, painting all of us with these broad strokes is inaccurate and only serves to display his ignorance of the vaping population as a whole. It exposes his bias in the eyes of those who are just average people who vape.

                                                            I do agree with OP on the cloud chasing and "my-mod-is-bigger-than-your-mod" mentalities. That shit really is dumb.

                                                            You talk about how entitled and childish everyone is within a post like this? You're a hypocrite.

                                                            Too bad you can't put that on a resume

                                                            They work minimum wage at Dominos

                                                            What stupid things to say, especially with the job industry the way it is right now in the US. How is this even relevant to your rant? Who gives a shit if someone works for minimum wage? Did you ever think that maybe that's their only option for the time being? By making these ignorant blanket statements you've directly insulted a large amount of individuals who don't even fit the criteria for your rant.

                                                            There are going to be assholes and idiots no matter where the hell you go, and you don't seem to understand this at all. The vaping community is pretty tame and friendly compared to a lot of other communities out there. Example: the entire concept of esports and the cancerous types of individuals it rapidly attracts and breeds in large quantities.

                                                            I don't give a fuck

                                                            No, you clearly do. You care way too much about what others say and do, or else you wouldn't have made this post crying about it.

                                                            I've already unsubscribed

                                                            Good fucking riddance.

Was it that all vape douches would suddenly throw down their mods and make a vow of solidarity with the rest of us? I don't care for all the shit heads associated with vaping either but neither did I care for the same type of people when I was a smoker. You know, the "I only smoke organic hand picked tobacco rolled in the finest japanese papers" hipster jack ass. You know what I do? I ignore it until it directly affects me. It's not worth the stress. If you feel so strongly about quitting vaping then just quit. There is no need, and nothing to gain by insulting an entire group of people for the actions of a few. You lost all credibility when you crossed that line. The simple fact is that there are a multitude of douche bags in every aspect of life and you cannot combat them by becoming like them.

                                                            I think your issue is more with the people you know than with the community at large. 99% of communities have shitty people in them.

                                                            The local B&M where I just bought my set up was totally cool, not pushy, not douchey. And I walked in with a little iTaste VW thing while their were a bunch of guys with mechs and huge rigs hanging out. No one did anything but help, recommend juices, ask questions.

                                                            Sorry for your bad experiences, but you shouldn't generalize an entire group because you have had a few shitty experiences.

Also all the people who vape that do it in public or inside and bother people with obnoxious clouds really suck and just ruin it for everyone.

                                                            I started vaping because I wanted to quit smoking. I toyed with opening a B&M because I saw value in vaping and thought I could do it better than some of the fly-by-night fucktards opening shops and the big name kiosks in the mall.

                                                            Then I met the community. I didn't want to be a part of it.

                                                            I have an eGo One with a Kanger Sub Tank Nano. I moved to that from an eGo 650 passthrough with a ProTank II. It works, it's fine, and no it's not inferior to yours.

                                                            Some kid saw me vaping on the sidewalk outside a restaurant, stopped and started to tell me about how his mech mod giant box was better than my little 40 dollar rig. Who gives a shit?

                                                            I don't rewick/recoil anything. I buy new coils. I mix some liquids, only because it's cheaper, but mainly buy the ones I like. Don't call it "juice", it sounds retarded.

                                                            Don't stop me to talk about vaping. I don't care. Don't walk past me standing outside an airport and say "Hey, hashtagVapeLife?" and get indignant when I don't respond.

                                                            I don't know what happened to set OP off, but I get where he's coming from. Stop being such utter and complete knobs. If someone asks you about vaping, then give them the facts. Don't shove it down their throats. Be as considerate vaping as you would be smoking. Vapedouchery is real.

                                                            IMO, remove yourself from the vaping scene, but continue vaping. Unless, ofc, you don't need it.

                                                            To begin with it sounds like you're projecting. You realize how much of a douche you are and you are now lashing out. Please finish growing up since it seems like you've grown up a little bit recently if what you describe was what you were.

                                                            Now to address your points.

                                                            I have a good job and work hard. I spent more at vapecan than I got for free. I like clouds but have no use for competitions.

                                                            You said you work at a B&M. You are a (most likely)minimum wage retail employee. You are not better or different from the people you describe. In fact you're a giant hypocrite. They work at dominoes and you work retail. If that's all your skills got you then you're not in any place to speak.

                                                            I'm not saying a B&M employee can't be smart - but seriously retail is retail: know your product and sell it it's not that complicated there's a reason it doesn't require a college education.

                                                            As someone who is effectively the exact opposite of what you describe (And most likely similar to the majority of vapers) and still love vaping. Insulting all vapers for the actions of a few(including yourself) makes you the worst kind of bigot, I suggest you grow up further before you take the next steps into the real world.

                                                            No offense, but as soon as you start categorizing the entire vaping community based on particular individuals, you've already lost the fight.

                                                            I know you're getting a lot of good will with this post, but in the long run, without a change of viewpoint, our cause is better off without you; you may be surprised to learn that you have not ascended above your vapehole streak as much as you think you might have. In fact, I'd argue sentiment like this can be much worse than a cloud chaser or public showoff more often than not.

                                                            If you can quit vaping just because you're annoyed with other vapers, you're a hobbyist. I can't. I'm addicted to nicotine. I use vaping as a replacement for my previous heavy smoking. I don't even think about the "community" aspect of it. It's just something I do to stay off the cigarettes, and I imagine it's much the same for a significant percentage of adult vapers.

                                                            You're obviously a kid. And there's nothing wrong with that, but channel all that passion into something more productive than bashing a bunch a strangers online. It's a worthless and fruitless pursuit.

                                                            I do understand some things you addressed. However this is a GROWING community. I get irritated when i see people throw massive clouds in an Applebees or the grocery store. 10K is nuts for a cloud comp but if its bringing more attention to our community and gets people into it then im all for it. Its not the vaping industry's fault that they end in physical altercation. Spending 300$ dollars on a tube of metal can be looked at as crazy, but so can spending 5k on a watch or 100k on a car. People pay for what they want, quality, craftsmanship and to support someone with an original idea. its not your job to judge them for spending what they want on any item they want. its their money and their choice. The only thing i will agree with you on is that it kind of sucks when people expect free things and get upset when they dont get anything for free. personally, i always give free samples at expos but ive seen enthusiasts get genuinely upset when they didn't get something for free from another vendor. However, it happens. One of the best things about our community is how big its gotten so fast, With any rapid growth of a community some bad apples are bound to be amongst the general public. Have a good day buddy, try to relax a bit. it isnt that serious

                                                            I've been vaping for about a year now and still barely know anything about it besides different flavors. If I can get away with vaping a Red Bull instead of having a cigarette and drinking a Red Bull that's all I NEED to know IMO. Most of the people I know who vape do it for the same reasons. Any group that gets big enough has dicks or people who like to brag about how deeply they're into something. I'm just sorry it's turned you off to the whole thing.

                                                            For me vaping is a replacement for smoking and....... erm, that's it. I can't say I really understand the whole "chucking clouds" thing. Anyone could buy the gear to do that, but what's the point? All I care is that I get nice flavour from my juice and that it satisfies my nicotine addiction so I'm not tempted to go back to smoking.

                                                            There is Vaping: The Hobby and Vaping: To get off Tobacco. Two different paradigms that often coexist. The Hobby portion of it, depends how far you want to get into it and honestly if you're devoting time to something you enjoy, you take pride in mentioning your progress to people.

                                                            Now, there are ways to mention those things without coming off like an uberdouche, but, that's beyond me to generalize. But, to those who just love to show a build off or a device, who cares? Does it really hurt you that you don't do it? Does it really hurt anyone?

                                                            It might if we all do something to make a stereotype, but the stereotype only exists now is, "How big of clouds can that blow?". People think clouds are cool. It's dumb, but I do too. But, clouds are a byproduct of the fact I vape at 80w. I like that heat. I'm not trying to say I'm better than anyone, because I'm not. If the average joe likes an iStick30 at 1.2ohms then great! Which brings me to my next part.

                                                            Now, just vaping to get off of Tobacco is one thing that is different. They don't care what it is, as long as it works.

                                                            Then again I don't hang out with douche bags in the first place so that might be why I don't experience "vapeholes."

                                                            I'm sad to hear that you're going to stop vaping over this...

                                                            You are correct, in almost every way, and I like you feel exactly the same way about the vast majority of the vaping scene. It's become exactly like car culture which I also used to love, but also turned into stupid douchebaggery.

                                                            People don't bother to learn anything, and treat reviewers like celebrities and treat their word as gospel, but they know just as little about the stuff as the viewers.

                                                            I get it, I do, but if you love vaping, you can still vape, and enjoy it sans-vape scene. I do... I don't get involved anymore, but I still vape. It's up to you, but don't quit just because of the people if you really enjoy it.

                                                            Here's an internet high-five, and a bro-hug (no-homo) from someone who feels your pain... Fight the good fight, and keep vaping.

But like usual...we have gotten lost in the commotion and have all forgotten the amazing side of vaping we all loved 2 years ago. The fact that we all quit smoking because of it and the amazing flavors we can now vape! Don't give up on vaping and go back to smoking. Maybe take a break from the social side of it.

I go to vape shops all over the country and its always the same thing. Sure, there are some great vape shops but the majority of them look like an 18 year old opened a store and just lets his friends hang out. Talking shit about my setup as I walk in to try their wares. Its no good for anyone.

                                                            I just got an MVP 3.0 Pro in the mail today. I posted a picture because I was excited that I got an upgrade from my pretty now ancient itaste SVD. Some guy proceeded to call it a 'piece of shit kit'.

                                                            After talking to him for about 20 minutes, I realized our mindsets were pretty different about vaping. This guy was all about cloud comps and chasing the biggest clouds possible. He told me he spent $1000s on devices, batteries, and diy juice. He still smokes cigarettes regularly as well.

                                                            Me on the other hand; I've been off cigarettes for 4 years. Started out with a Blu cigalike, then an ego-twist, a VAMO v2, itaste SVD, and lastly a MVP 3.0 Pro. Vaping isn't a hobby to me where I spend money and want all the latest RDA/RBAs. I just vape to stay off of analogs and upgrade when necessary to newer technology.

                                                            I have no qualms with people who want to chase clouds and all that, but I know where the OP is coming from with these elitists who feel the need to talk down to those that don't care for such things.

                                                            I think when you say you're "done with vaping", you really meant you're done with the community.

                                                            I rarely ever post in this sub, but I vape all day every day. I think most people who use vapes don't have any attachment to it beyond quitting cigarettes.

                                                            Just this last Saturday, I was in a bar in the middle of bumfuck nowhere (Oshkosh Wisconsin). There was a dude there who must've been 70+ using a subtank with a box mod chucking clouds.

                                                            I seriously doubt said dude spends his time bragging about his subohm build and "massive clouds brah" on Reddit.

                                                            i have been vaping for 3-4 years now. I almost gave up in the beginning because it was such a hassle to get a decent puff. Pre Egos and protanks. I did give up for a while.I don't have time to wrap super mario triple diamond x coils or whatever. I came back mostly because cigars stink. I want something i can pick up and use without struggling. I live in a college town and you cant walk into the vape shops without the dorm bros being in there chucking fat cock clouds. I was in one afternoon to grab some aspire coils cause they just work and there was a lady and her husband in trying to quit smoking with an big ass stick mod he had sold her. he had all these giant double battery mods out with giant tanks showing her how big his clouds were. She was on the verge of walking out and i interrupted his useless sales tactic. She had no desire for all that and he just didn't get it. I said look at what i have, and explained its somewhat small, you can vape without sounding like a tornado and it doesn't roll off the counter when you sit it down. Vape bro was pissed but the lady walked out spending less than $80. I have spoken with her a few times since and she has thanked me every time. I was at a point of starting my own shop at one time. I had bought 100 Evods when the were the thing. The change in the community changed my mind about a vape shop. I am willing to help people but i just don't see the love of competition vaping. But BRO its Healthy. No, doing stuff in moderation is less dangerous. Your just an ass hole and everyone around thinks all vapors are asshats because of you. I dont even post on the /r/ecig forums for that reason anymore but this just caught me in the right mood.

Do people consider smoking cigarettes a hobby it's more like an addiction. My girlfriend used to work at a shop as well and I can tell you that most people that hang out at these shops think vaping makes them look so cool and another thing they weird me out by how much they're into vaping. Seriously you have nothing better to do but chill in a vape shop for hours. I hope you guys understand that the people in the shops are not your friends they see you as dollar signs.

                                                            Eating brunch with the wife and my sister this past Sunday. A young guy comes to eat at a table outside with his girlfriend, starts puffing on his E-Vic VT, not chucking massive clouds. Notices us, and politely apologizes. I say no big deal, its not blowing in our face and I show him my Reosmods, that was it. We politely nodded and continued with our Sunday brunch. NBD.

                                                            I rarely see vapeholes, when I do they're at the B&M, and even the owner doesn't want them there, but he can't say no. They tried to make fun of my beard, owner defended me because we're cool like that and have mutual respect. The young guys where assholes even if they weren't vapers. They where surf douches. Douches will always exist. Self entitled 90's/00's kids will always exist, in every generation. I guarantee you when we were younger we where probably just as bad.

                                                            You do sound like an asshole. I don't know who you're associating with but by any logic you must be an idiot yourself. I haven't met more than a handful of vapors around me who irritated me. Then again I have an actual objective in life, I don't work in retail.

                                                            For some reason I read that like a response from a yelp review about Amy's Bakery.

                                                            My computer is faster than yours, and my car... Wait, never mind, I drive an old Buick.

                                                            Bro I hear you! Lol there are so many douche bags who all they do is brag and blah blah blah. But there are people who are on the other on the flip as well. I've met some pretty good people out there who are really friendly and a bunch more who are really helpful. But I understand why you'd be angry.

                                                            And he's saying we're the shitheads...

                                                            I don't know, my local B&M seems pretty fucking cool. When I first went in they talked me out of buying super cheap shit as well as super expensive shit. They set me up with a good package and let me try so much juice, I had to tell the guy I couldn't take it anymore. Later I went back and the guy in there taught me how to build coils and wick and spent a lot of time doing it. Lots of people just hanging out there vaping and talking. When I tried to buy some top of the line dripper, dude told me to hold off and learn about it first. Sold me the Tobeco Plume Veil clone instead and said it was perfect for "where I was at". I think OP's shop must have been different.

                                                            this is such a ridiculous generalization.. and vaping is not a lifestyle it's not even a hobby to most people. Tt's just a thing that people like to do, like watching netflix or eating celery
