The Vaping Community reminds me of the Paintball Community!

[peacemaker1337]

Hey Vapers! I'm a newb in the ways of ECF but I've been vaping for a few months now! (March is when I started with the disposables) I now rock a KGO with an HH.357 atty (Sick vape) There's an awesome thing I have realized about the Vape Community and another community I pertain to, the PB or Paintball Community, and the main similarity on how techie and into the weeds both communities get about their "gear" i.e: PVs, Attys, Carto's, etc. But in the PB world we talk about: Guns or markers, Regulators, tanks, Paint, etc. and both communities are so great about helping one another out and have their own spokesmen/reviewers! I just thought I'd share a bit of this community with which I have just started getting to know with one I have been with since I was 15! Keep it Smoke-Free and Vape On!

I sometimes forget I'm talking to non vapers and I'll go into a diatribe regarding ohms, voltages and so on. The person who just asked me what an ecig will look back with a blank stare....lol. Far into the weeds, i like that phrase.

 

[Engraced]

Hahah, yeah, there are a bunch of gearheads in here. Silly people....

I often get the blank stare too when I talk about how my cleromizer isn't tasting right. What's a cleromizer?? Oh... ya... that's right you don't vape... *shuffle* So I made some cake, want a slice? That usually clears out the awkwardness.

I can't wait untill I see more vapers out and about. The only time I did... well... i was not a happy camper. But the guy vaping sure seemed happy to see another as well. If I wasn't such a grump that day I would of chatted him up, but he was working. Long story short... Went in for a simple car alignment... Got a popped tire from a shady garage.(I checked my tires before I left, no holes. But a mysterious good sized gash appears when I intrust my vehicle in their hands)

I went to Universal Studios to go see ZZ Top and 3 Doors Down last Saturday and I saw at least 6-7 people vaping openly throughout the park! It was really awesome to vape and drink! I also rode the Harry Potter Ride and Vaped in the line! It was quite awesome!!!

ha i find it odd i guess that you'd be impressed by drinking and vaping...we still have most bars allow smoking and you can still smoke in public parks...

We haven't been able to smoke and drink in Ohio for 6 years. There are a few bars with outdoor seating, but that doesn't work most of the year with the way our weather is.

I'm in NY... we haven't been able to smoke inside anywhere since 2003. All bars, restaurants, and nightclubs went smoke free. Most of our hotels don't even have smoking rooms anymore. Very few places have accommodations for outside smoking either. I remember going to the stadium for a baseball game. Frontier Field holds 10,840 with the possibility of an additional 2,500 to 3,000 more in bleacher and standing-room-only areas. There is a 12X12 foot smoking area behind 3rd and 1st bases.... fenced like a zoo amimal, and you can't take your drink with you. Smokers are completely ostracized here. It's strange to vape openly to me, especially somewhere I used to have to choose between a drink or a smoke.

Yeah, I'm definitely a person that likes to fiddle with gear. I also have a decent background in circuits and electricity, so I definitely had a leg up when it came to understanding power/volts/resistance.

Do they make a paintball guns you can vape from?

In PA it comes down to percentage of revenue food vs. drinks. Bars that only do small snacks type stuff you can still smoke, restaurant types no way. I seem to remember seeing a mod made out of a handgun somewhere...

The Theme Parks are very strict when it comes to designated smoking areas so yeah it was really quite a cool sight to see!
