So as everyone on the internet knows, vaping automatically makes you cool.
To give you a little background of my history with cigarettes and vaping, I started smoking last year when my ex died to help take a bit of the edge off. I smoked about a pack every two days more or less, and I knew how bad it was for you but didn't really care at the moment. My dad switched to vaping from smoking years ago, and when he found out I smoked (I'm good at hiding shit from my parents) he suggested I buy a vape like his to help quit. So I did, and over the year it has developed into a hobby that I really enjoy doing. I worked my way from 30% nicotine and I finally hit 0% about 4 months ago, and I even quit doing it for a month just to prove to my mother that I can really quit whenever I want, and simply do it because I enjoy it as a hobby. I never have that "ugh I need to go have a smoke" moment like i used to, but when I'm in my room writing, it really relaxes and the smoke is personally what I love about it. It's therapeutic to me at least and helps me focus.
I am currently running an EGO variable temp mini (an eVIc-VTC mini) and I fucking love it. I use titanium atomizers and a pretty standard tank, and I love the fact that I can fill the tank and not worry about refilling it for hours, even with pretty consistent use.
So to anybody who vapes or smokes on these threads, let me know what you think! Here are a few discussion topics to help out since I'm aware that probably 90% of you don't vape or smoke considering the age range on this forum.
-What do you think of Vaping? Health difference between that and smoking?
-Am I really cool because of it? (don't answer that actually)
-Have you ever smoked cigarettes and if so how often? (or Weed I guess, but that's not my thing really)
-Vape models, favorite flavors, mechanical mods, etc. For anyone who has any knowledge on the subject (and I'm a novice really, I know next to nothing about mechanical mods other than they can get pricey.
Cool kids only thread.

I have smoked, do smoke, but in the last few years, I've made sure I never HAVE to do it. I go for weeks without smoking just to make sure I'm not addicted to it. These days, my weed smoking is limited to a handful of joints on the weekends whenever I see my friends.
I try not to have more than 3 cigarettes a week. But with my recent Martial arts classes, I have stopped smoking cigarettes entirely this month.

I have an Eleaf iStick 50w mod, and I mainly use an Aspire Atlantis model 2 tank, a Kranger sub mini tank and an Aspire Triton. I could share some of my e-liquid recommendations if you want.

I think vaping is phenomenal, but I prefer cannabinoids over nicotine.

Weed's still illegal over here. I still cry.

Smoking cigarettes for the purpose of stress relief has got to be one of the dumbest and most counter productive method of relief ever. It's like trying to keep yourself warm in winter by lighting your house on fire.
That said. I've experienced 3 years of second hand smoke in the toilets of my highschool. Then I discovered the disabled toilets.

You're on my side this time :)..

Does that stop you from smoking it?or they don't sell it because its illegal?or you don't know anybody to buy from?..ℓøℓ
-Where I live,weed is illegal only on public places,and if you're a seller(if someone snitches though)

I tried smoking a couple of times, but it's a costly habit and I wasn't that into it anyways.
Smoked weed occasionally. I guess you could say I'm a social smoker? lmao Sometimes my brother brings home some weed and we watch Ghibli movies together, it's always a blast. With that said, I prob prefer weed cookies though.
Sometimes when I go over to my friends and we have a bbq, they set up their big-ass hookah, bought originally in Turkey along with the grade A tobacco. The mint/melon mixture is delightful.
I've never tried vaping and I'm not even considering. It doesn't seem like it has anything to offer to me.

The day will come where you're high with your brother...and eventually find him banging you.

Dude what's wrong with you?
I used to smoke weed when I was in highschool. Stopped a few years ago though and haven't smoked anything since. Good buddy/roommate of mine hits the vape hard. He's got a huge box like thing and just fills an entire room with the mist he blows out. Also the mist smells like whatever flavor he's using, so I get to smell Frankenberry fragrances.

as an introduction i picked up one of these kits a while back: http://sociallites.co.uk/premium-kit
and it's been great. i'm doubting if it's even necessary for me to change to a more technical kit because this thing is convenient as fuck. there's a cartridge option that you can refill yourself anyway.
anyway, as far as health goes, in my eyes this is indisputably significantly less unhealthy than smoking actual cigarettes. having said that, anybody who claims that vaping is entirely harmless is deluding themselves. you're still inhaling hot, dry, foreign particles, just a lot less of them. it's still a guaranteed insult to your lung tissue, and any repeated insult to tissue can eventually caused dysplasia and neoplasia, so there's still a risk of cancer... just a considerably lower one than you would get from smoking cigarettes.
considering that i still feel a desire to smoke when i'm in big social situations, or when all my friends are smoking, this has been an excellent substitute to minimize the damage i do to myself, so i'm all for these being readily available.
[edit]
oh, in case it wasn't obvious i used to smoke cigarettes a fair bit. fucktonnes of weed as well, as well as a pretty significant amount of DMT. oh, and some shisha once in a while.
my health has significantly improved since i stopped all that and took up vaping as a substitute.
as far as flavours go, so far i've just been enjoying tobacco flavour and caramel flavour. i think i'll try chocolate and coffee next.

I... despise smoking, and sometimes smokers themselves. There are no benefits to it as far as I'm concerned and smoking for the sake of being cool is a pretty dumb and pushover reason to start. I smoked only once in my life but only as a little kid. Of course as a kid I didn't like it. It was more unpleasant than smelling the smoke from others. Many of my friends smoke in highschool and I just tolerate it. I haven't smoked till now and I don't plan to. Unfortunately smoking is really common in Greece among adults and teens alike and being in a tavern or cafe is a pain since the smoking ban is neither followed nor enforced. So you can say I am a passive smoker.
