LGBT vape culture

[Coastal Cowboy]

To me it sounds like those you consider pals & friends, aren't.

Time to look for true friends, life is way too short to spend a minute putting up with people like that.

Absolutely true.

@aveytare, there is good news and bad news.

The good news is that you don't have to smoke tobacco anymore.

The bad news is that we're your new best friends.

Welcome .

We've taken back the word queer as an umbrella term. Yeah, it's my lgbt group of friends who make fun of me for vaping. Obviously I'm happy to hang out with anyone regardless of orientation, but I thought it would be neat to meet other vapers out there like me. Thanks for the suggestions though!

You Positively need a new group "friends"!
LGBT Friendly here, Wife is LGBT and we are both Poly. We host a "BBQ" every 3rd Sat of the month for a Poly group and it contains a large portion of the local LGBT's
Most of us vape... no issues, in fact I've help many of them get off the smokes and into vaping.

"Poly" is that the new term for "swingers"? Just curious.

 

[smacuser]

You're good.

Welcome to ECF. Just relax and join in.

That struck me as an odd request -- I have friends of all orientations - some who vape and it is the first time I heard that request. Just as I think all restaurants, shops and etc should be for anyone and everyone -- I feel the same about vaping. It's for everyone and so is the forum.

If you only want to deal with LGBT I see there was one group/shop/forum formed in 2017 but it is not online any longer There Is A Vaping Company For LGBT People Because Of Course

There is a facebook private group, Rainbow Vapers, that I found. It does not look like any recent activity although it is still an active group. You could join so you can get in touch with other members maybe?
Log into Facebook | Facebook

I do not know of any other groups.

I'm not hating but I am curious why vapers need to be divided in any manner. What does sexual orientation have to do with vaping? I thought I'd finally found one place where people weren't self divided except over vaping issues ie squonkers VS rdas VS atty, or drop in VS pre-made VS hand made coils. No matter the different ways of vaping we're all vapers. Can't we just be one community without trying to subdivide in this manner? I'm sorry but this saddens me

Too political to go on an on, however that is a big problem all around --division --- and even self-division.

Poly = Polyamory. Responsible, consensual non-monagamous relationships.

Welcome to you. Many here have found vaping to be a hobby.

We look for "our" best vape. Many things to try to get there. It is like exploring.

Creative thinking is healthy, and fun.

If your friends don't like it when you're new just wait until you've been on ECF for a while and catch shinyitis.

Just like anything else, there are several "branches". Some consider "swingers" part of the poly world. Not everyone does.

@aveytare . . .

First - What a very appropriate post, especially since today June 28th (1969) is the actual day of the "Stonewall Riots" in New York City that started the Modern GAY Movement . . .

​

NOW - You have already gotten a lot of GREAT replies from a number of people here, especially from a number of "My" ECF Vaping Friends . . .

More importantly, I'm sure You'll find even more "LGBT +" Friends here, including some really great "Heterosexuals" too - Like I did years ago . . . Just Sayin' . . .

From "Your" Local - OUT & PROUD - GAY "Uncle" . . .

A BIg Thanks to @classwife for pointing me here . . .

SupplyDaddy seems to know more than me based on his comments about the branches and stuff and lifestyle. In my semi-Vanilla circle it is more in the realm of longer-term relationships - more than one at the same time - not necessarily by swinging and just hooking up.

Just An FYI:

As I mentioned to some other people . . .

There was a very interesting article in the New York Times on Gay Pride Sunday (this past weekend) about "The ABCs of L.G.B.T.Q.I.A.+ - Expressions of gender and idenity have expanded" that people might find an interesting read:

The ABCs of L.G.B.T.Q.I.A.+​

Who cares if you are from LGBT community!! Just enjoy life just the way you are! If you are into vaping and looking to find out new info, people here offer great advice and would be glad to get you started on your journey.

I'm also poly! It's a great life.

I'm new to vaping, and all of my pals make fun of me for it. I'm wondering if there's a LGBT vaping community? Not hate please.

I think you have found the right place. People here are very welcoming and helpful. Don’t think you need a separate community because I haven’t seen any hate here. And really, we all are in this together.

 

[Mimi25]

All vapers are welcomed here and no one is special.

Well damn. I thought I was special .
