Anyone use a vape?

No.

I think my bro did for a while but I convinced him to quit. I mean, how are you going to get next to a girl with that apparatus....it's laughable.

I am interested in this Vap phenomenon. I don't smoke but am curious as to what draws all these weirdos to sit in a storefront in a cloud of haze. I was parked outside of one a few weeks ago. I read that it is a safer delivery than smoke but they are discovering new dangers with the droplets.

Please explain you vapers. Is it an addiction or do you think you look cool with that electric tube?

You can now actually get a vape light so basically something you can puff on during the day and then make love to when horny.

Genius!

This is just as stupid as things like k2 and wormwood as a substitution for pot.

At least everyone who smokes pot and their lucky strikes knows what sort of consequences are on the table. With the chemical substitutes we do not. When you try to cheat the system you can and will still get burned.

I like to vape some EPO when mom's not around.

Right on! I vape EPO during my races.

I use a Cape...they are 75% similar.

I don't vape, but I have several friends who do. One of them gets really into it - he has over 100 vials of flavors & mixes his own liquids, cleans right down to the coils regularly, and so forth. This dude, btw, drinks daily, so it hasn't impacted his alcohol experience.

As a friend of 'vapers,' I think it's fan-freaking-tastic! Finally, we can all hang out and I don't have to smell like cigarette smoke. Please, for the second-hand sake of your friends, switch to vaping! Even if they proved tomorrow that smoking doesn't cause cancer, I would still encourage vaping because almost no one wants to smell cigarettes.

I don't vape.

The flavours are really cool, I usually pick something from here https://gypsyvapes.com/top-eliquid-ejuice-brands . I didn't notice any negative impact on lungs function or running, but may be that's a question of time, I dunno. By the way, I know some runners and guys from my gym who tolerate vaping and do it from time to time.

"wet lung" sounds like it would really enhance performance

Honestly it is not good for you in the same way that pretty much every chronic vaper will try and defend it. If done on a regular basis it WILL impact your oxygen uptake and your lungs’ ability to expand air properly, I know this because I smoked for ten years but quit a few years ago and have been on and off with the vapes over the last year. My running is always easier and smoother when I am not vaping every day. May I also add some of the long term negative genetic impacts of vaping such as the heavy metals that are emitted into your lungs via the coil when it heats up, this is the main reason you do not want to be vaping every day for a long period of time

Having said that, vaping ONLY when you are drinking is unlikely to have any notable effect of you or your running but this only stands true if you don’t drink too often. If you were drinking 3x a week and wanted a vape each time then you might as well consider yourself a vaper and you will be reaping negative consequences. However, if it’s a once every other month say for a work night out or something then go for it guilt free.

Vaping is not harmless though so be aware.

It is most definitely an addiction. My boyfriend literally cannot go FIVE minutes without feeling the need to vape, if I didn’t have such a long fuse I would say it would actually put a strain on our relationship as we cannot sit down, watch a film and cuddle for five minutes before he goes outside to vape for ten minutes (He cannot smoke in the house because A. I won’t let him and B. It would set the smoke alarm off). He was having chest pains last week so he made a check in to the hospital while I was at work and actually even missed his name being called because he was too busy vaping outside the emergency department. This is a man who thought his life could potentially be in danger yet still found vaping more important than being checked as soon as possible.

When he stays at his place instead of mine, he literally tapes up the smoke alarm so that he can vape in his house instead of going outside. I personally think this is dangerous and pathetic.

I have a $12 pen vape I bought on ebay some time back, that I use for weed.

Maybe 4 evenings a week I use it for one "puff." As such, even the smallest amount of MJ lasts me months. Keeps me from hurting, keeps me from drinking, keeps me from taking OTC pain meds, keeps me from taking prescription pain meds. It burns straight weed, not waxes, or liquids or any of that other crap that's processed.

This stupid tobacco industry vape push is beyond crazy. What the hell are people thinking?

I like to smoke when I drink. I've tried vaping and although it does the trick sober, it's really not the same when I'm drinking.

Anyway, does anyone else on here use it recreationally? I figure it's not really that bad for your lungs, and theres a lot of cool flavors with and without nicotine.

You're right, "it's not really that bad." It's worse.

Two of my friends are enjoying popcorn lung from vaping...
