It is quite "Will Selfy" if you know what I mean, but a good read from Esquire

www.esquire.co.uk/culture/article/8143/will-self-on-his-addiction-to-vaping/

And that’s the real problem in a glass tank: my vape stick, the silvery iTazte, fitted with a still shinier Nautilus Mini tank, looks uncomfortably like the sort of antique glass syringe Sherlock Holmes would’ve used to inject his seven per cent solution of cocaine.

Nice find that!

"...At a subconscious level, the tobacco-smoker registers his smoke: the bluey shreds and curlicues pluming from the lit tip; the brownish puffs and mini-cumuli expelled from the damp lungs; all are combined into a miniature atmosphere that enshrouds Planet Me..."

God-Like!!!

Thank You for sharing that M8!
Wondering if Will's year of abstinence coincided with the un-readable 'Walking to Las Vegas'.....!

'The vape cloud reminded me of an installation the artist Antony Gormley made for a retrospective of his work at the Hayward Gallery in 2007...' (!)

or.. ' Vaping, by making us airier & more insubstantial (?!...) confirms in us the truth about human existence'

Marvellous Stuff!!!

I do like his writing style, he is so flamboyant.

I normally save these longer article to Pocket and then read them on my phone on the train, but this article just captured me.

(if you read a lot of longer articles on the net then Pocket is worth a look. - free and all platforms)

I thought e-cigs were invented in China? I could be wrong.

So glad Will Self is on our side! Amazing debater? when his head is on straight. A tip for those who are not familiar with his prose...keep a dictionary handy! I don't think he uses big/unusual words to impress people, just an arty, clever guy Imo. Power to the Self!!!
