I don't understand it, either. My boyfriend and I vape but we don't sit around with spiked, black-light reactive hair, and triple 0 gaged ears, that have formed our entire identity around it.

But we do like taking big rips alone. And by ourselves because there's just something deeply satisfying about it. We don't just bust it out anywhere. We don't bring attention to it at parties. We ask permission first. What counts is that we don't smoke anymore. And we have that oral fixation that we need.

The only time I see people who represent vape-nash are the people who work in the shops. Holy shit, very rarely do I meet someone who isn't a complete douche. This one guy literally told me my taste was shit. His catchphrase was "In the industry we call it insert whatever fact he made up on his own" and was just so try-hard it was cringy. Why can't they just be pleasant to their customers? This isn't highschool, motherfucker, I don't think you're cool because you work around vape stuff all day.
