Good on you Annie, onwards and upwards The next time feel uncomfortable being stared at, hold your head high, take the biggest draw you can, exhale plumes of vapour and say to yourself "i forgive you cos you're skint and you stink" lol.

That's the truth.

I went from feeling a bit odd and like a freak to feeling a bit like a pioneer and trendsetter.
Beleive me, in another years time the smokers are the ones that will be pointed and sniggered at.

I know what you mean, it felt the same for the first couple of weeks, now i find it really amusing when people stare, and don't you just know when someone is going to come up and ask you what it is

I've had loads of people ask me what it is (generally my MVP gets the most notice.)
I've had one person ask me if it's a PV and one guy (probably late 70's early 80s) said Oh that's an Ecig isn't it hehe
But it's always a good talking point.

I also get that with my MVP... 'what the hell is that?'... I usually respond with comparisons to my 'manhood' (which the MVP always wins!) or I tell them that I can launch satellites or can get access to all the state secrets with its inbuilt wi-fi decoder. It at least gets a conversation going.

I've only seen one real life vaper and that was at the coach station in Manchester, where I spent the weekend. I live in London and you would think I would have seen a vaper here, but not one so far! I've seen people looking at me and being interested in what I'm up to, but no-one has asked. Whereas up in Manc, lots of people said "is that one of them e-cigs" and were asking me how it worked and had I come off the smokes with it. Mind you, that was out at the clubs in the small hours so you do chat more after a good night and a good drink, in London I'm normally vaping in public on my way to/from work so no-one stops to chat. I bet if I go and vape on the smoking terrace at my friendly local pub, I'll end up chatting about vaping all night.

I don't even know if there is a vaping supplies shop in London, I haven't seen one yet. That'd be a way to meet fellow vapers. Mind you, in central London they'd have to charge sky-high prices to be able to afford the rent so online business is cheaper for shopkeeper and customers. But online doesn't compare to going to a shop to look at things, touch them, smell liquids, ask lots of questions and get to know the staff, does it?

I've seen loads of people vaping in my area, and I have a few mates who have
started vaping.

I will try but they made me feel so uncormfortable, it was awful really.

Move too Bournemouth, people who smoke stinkies get some horrible looks as there is so many vapers down here

At present i have 3 vape shops withing a one mile radius and loads more around (Only small shops but it's still a good sign), biggest one is : Safercigs not as close as the rest but a very good vendor, i am spoilt for choice

Saying that though when my OH went out with a Kanger Protank on a Spinner filled to the brim of juice she did get some funny looks

Ooh I feel a trip to Bournemouth coming on! Some time on the beach and some vape shopping. I haven't been to the seaside in ages!

It's worth the travel but if you was to go make sure that the weather for that day is good or some and maybe on occasions all the planes won't fly

[Super-Shiny]

Not the best video of it sammy13 due to camera and weather but a real cracking day, and if it is a hot day even better:

And this:



p.s The planes are closer than you think
