I don't really have a favourite brand, I just pick from flavours that sound promising.

Charry-picked for your convenience (Click to Show)


If you want I can always give some more recommendations.


Hit me with some good flavor mixes you've used before.

Ok this vanilla custard flavor mixed with cola gumi is really fuckin good. It makes it like a creamy fruity flavor. I want to go out and get some coconut flavor, but im spending way too much on this shit. I need to go through what I've got first. lol

-What do you think of Vaping? Health difference between that and smoking?
Better for you than smoking, but probably still not great. You're still introducing a foreign substance into your lungs, but at least it's water vapor. I don't think they know the health impact yet.

-Am I really cool because of it? (don't answer that actually)
N- wait, OK.

-Have you ever smoked cigarettes and if so how often? (or Weed I guess, but that's not my thing really)
Have, not that fun. Weed, yes a little bit. Only with friends though.

It's a little more than water vapor, and it's still not great for you. En's video explains the effects on the body pretty well.

Also, fuck you I'm cool and you know it. Im the coolest cat

My go-to device is the PAX which is a portable loose leaf vape. Seriously one of my favorite purchases ever and well worth the price in my opinion. It also comes with a 10 year warranty for every device so if it breaks at all within it's expected lifetime I am covered. I also have the Dark Knight Honor which is a general purpose vape but I mostly use it for e-liquids. That vape is designed specifically for the "best" taste possible but I find with anything other than e-liquids it lets in a lot of undesirable flavors especially at higher temps when you can start tasting the acrid burning flavor. I've heard good things about some of the pen vapes that are out now but I prefer loose leaf for it's versatility, though I wouldn't mind picking one up just to have on the go.

I have a question about vapers. Why is the stereotype that they're assholes?

The term is "douche bag". And a lot of tools do it to seem cool without actually getting into the culture of it. It's not something that automatically makes you cool, (unless it's me of course) and some people seem to think that. The people who I personally prefer are the ones that started smoking and switched to vaping, and then got into it further to stay away from cigarettes.

I've met plenty of awesome people who vape, and plenty of less awesome ones. It has kind of a bad name because of the few loud mouthed ones. Same goes for homosexuals or feminists. The few annoying loud ones create a stereotype for the majority and it GENERALLY isn't true.

I think it's a popular thing for narcissists to latch on to since it's easy to claim that vaporizing is "better" than burning. Most likely a vocal minority of the same douchebags that will always find something to be obnoxious elitists about.

Not disagreeing but if you've ever vaped weed you'd know how redundant they are in comparison to a zoot or bong. It's just sharp & harsh on the throat but maybe i've never used a good vape idk

Eeh there are actual scientific reasons why vaporizing is different, I wouldn't necessarily say it's for reducing how harsh the inhale is. I don't really care what anyone prefers, but there is definitely real reasons to vaporize over burn and that's what I think narcissists like about vaporizing so much so that they try to turn it into a life style to match the smokers. I also think because of these idiots a lot of people get defensive because they don't like being told something is "better" than the way they do it. I wish people could just acknowledge that the difference exists and be happy with their choice. You're both sucking in foreign particles.

I never really look at the scientific aspects because it all boils down to preference really , I find the difference can be explained simply through experience
And there's probably a more negative stigma attached to smokers overall anyway so its pick your poison

I think it depends on how you're looking at it. From the sounds of it most of the comments in this thread are less on the science side and more on the vanity side, and there's nothing wrong with that since Cruel made it clear from the start that was his intention, but when I'm talking about what it is about vaping narcissists latch on to I'm not really talking about anything subjective such as your personal experience, I'm talking about objective facts regarding what it is you're inhaling exactly and in what ways that is different from breathing in smoke. I'm not saying it's "better" since we don't really have any long term studies on the effects of vaporizing like we do smoking, so for me it's too early to declare. However, the whole point of vaporizing is to release the desired chemicals in the substance you're smoking without activating any carcinogens, so there definitely is a benefit to vaporizing. It's not JUST another way to take in the chemicals you want, it's a cleaner way.

This video is a good explanation of it, and also touches on why it's not a good idea to say it's "safer" necessarily. When it comes down to it I definitely agree that it's pretty much pick your poison since you're still absorbing some kind of foreign particulate into your lungs so there's some inherent risk. My point is that the people who create this stereotype are the same people who will always find something to make themselves feel superior to others. The same kind of asshole vegans you're always hearing about, or the same kind of self-righteous asshole that drives a Prius. It's not the thing that makes them an asshole, they are assholes as individuals and they're latching on to something that has a shred of credibility in order to put themselves on a pedestal. Don't eat vegan? You're a murderous monster and I am better than you. Don't drive a Prius? Why do you hate the environment do you enjoy suffocating children? Don't vaporize? Haha enjoy your cancer.

No one likes that attitude in general, it doesn't matter if it's based on something true.
