So shall we talk about whether setting up a gay vaper's community site would be a good idea? Forums? Spaces? lets chat about whether we want our own little bit of cyberspace under our own control.

We all know why we are discussing this

Not sure about that, lol.
As it is smokers are a minority, vapers are a subset of that group and gay vapers are a subset of that group.

On saying that I was thinking that if these became popular on "the scene", it would certainly raise their profile - can you imagine Gay Pride with everyone vaping on parade? How funny would that be?

On the other hand it might make the str8s think it was a "gay thing" and put them off, so maybe that wouldn't be such a good idea...

[edit - forgot to say, I do like having a quiet corner on this site however]

I agree with a lot of the points that Kitabz made. Plus, I'm really only active on one forum at a time, and I know a lot of my friends are the same way, so I'm sure there are many people here who are like that too.

Plus, I think to making a vaping website exclusively for gays is kind of counterproductive for gay acceptance. I mean, if we can exclude straights from things, then they can exclude us from things. I'm happy with this sub-forum, there really isn't that many of us, so a whole forum would be kind of quiet.

Fair points.

To be honest, I think it might be a moot point. While I don't mind the subset of forums here, I really don't see the need. Do gay vapers do anything different from straight ones? I mean, yes, I suck alot better on my Janty than most men do but still
Sometimes being in the GBLT community doesn't mean we always need to set ourselves apart on every topic, especially this one. I don't really know of any gay vaping bashing going on . As someone above me mentioned, vaping is a small enough subset where we are all really one big family anyway.

I actually thought this was a good idea at first but the more I think about the more I agree that it would really serve no purpose. I think when Andy first suggested it we were all still in mourning of Kate and was looking for a way to revive the spirit, maybe?

Now that Kate is back and the fog has cleared my head, lol. The only real purpose I could see for a gay vaping site is if someone were marketing ecigs to gay event/club patrons. The supplier might consider a gay themed online storefront to refer back to for accessories and maintenance.

....hmmm? Gay clubs, ecigs, rainbow metallic 901s, $$$

What would be even cooler is if one of our current suppliers would offer up an ecig in a metallic rainbow design. Steve, you listening?

I've never really been into the whole rainbow thing myself but that does sound pretty cool for an ecig. Much better than pink, IMO.

Me too as of a few days ago. That's saying something since it's something I've never done before.

Pretty much, back when people were leaving ECF it was born from an idea for everybody to keep in touch
