Tiavapes reviewed it and got skewered in the comment section. She's since taken the video down. Mods, juice and any other vape product that uses the same marketing tactics should be boycotted.

@TygerTyger Has one... Just saying. ;)

And Goddammit I want one... So there! I have been in love with pokemon since it came out (Pikachu!!! Hell Yeah!):xD:

You could also go there with the flavors... If I wanted to be that person, but I don't so I won't. Just because I am an adult doesn't mean that I have to go hating on something because it is supposedly "just for children"! Adults can like things too. o_O

So are you saying that because kids could potentially say they want one... That responsible adults have to do without something they enjoy? I'm sorry but I think this falls under the parents jurisdiction to say "NOPE". Just like it has been for thousands of years. Just my two cents. :)

Definitely agree with the point that we are adults and should have access to products we enjoy. Despite that, I still don't like it.

;) I carry two of those. One in each front pant pocket. Just one tank though.

you'd be surprised how many adults play pokemon. I don't personally get it and I'm a huge gamer and love games but plenty of adults love pokemon so I don't see the issue

If they get down to $40 or so, I'll probably buy one, just because. Couldn't care less about Poke-anything else, though. Lol

Not something I'd be interested in, but if it floats your boat, go for it! Now, the Deathstar mod would be cool!

The thing is many adults like it. It is however a brand marketed to children. The Chinese may not care if kids smoke but the US certainly does. There needs to be much more education to kids that it will harm them. Poke bongs are even worse. Kids are doing drugs. That is a fact. Again, more education. It is a proven fact it harms development. To adults in many instances it is actually helpful. You all know this already.

I agree there needs to be more education for kids but it starts at home. They're no ones kids but the parents'. You made 'em, you train 'em. If the parents don't give a shit don't even expect me to. Personally I get tired of the padded little 'angels' running and ruining everything. You have to do this 'cuz of the children' or you can't do this 'cuz of the children'.

Last I checked, children don't earn wages (in this country anyway), they don't hold government office, they can't get a line of credit, they can't drive, they can't vote, they can't serve in the military. Newsflash, the world doesn't revolve around them. I know it may be a splash of cold water for some but it is what it is, no one person made it that way.

If a kid is ordering a $45-50 mod on the internet I have several concerned questions. Who the hell let them on the internet unsupervised? Where did they get the credit card? Always going back to 'where the hell are the damn parents?!'. Adults shouldn't have to be censored every time they turn around because 'ohhh, the children, think of the children'. I'm not saying let's put a vape dispenser in the gradeschools, but let's get real. You let your kid wander the strip at 1am downtown on a friday night with sketchy characters they're liable to be exposed to all kinds of things. Drug dealers, nudie bars, hookers, you name it. The entire world isn't a 'safe zone' and 'child friendly', it's not romper room or spongebob's playground.

The whole excuse that it's appealing to kids is bogus. Plenty of illegal drugs existed long before vaping was even someone's wet dream. Kids have done drugs far longer than vaping's been around and none of it was geared toward them. It was plenty of boring crap. Cigs weren't even geared toward kids. They try to say joe camel was an issue but he wasn't drawn like Geoffrey from Toys 'r Us. They probably just wanted some means to reach out to adults and feature a turkish blend to people in the west. A talking camel is a lot less awkward than some guy with a heavy accent and thick beard trying to sell them. Hell these days they use cartoon soap bubbles and crap to sell adults cleaning products, don't think they're hitting up the 5yo's to get scrubbin' on the porcelain throne. Just my .02

Hey Synphul does your head ever hurt? You've given those big balls a lot of thought. You too Gorgon.
I remember when I was a kid we didn't have car seats. We all had peanut butter sandwiches in our lunch boxes. We used to take a bus when we needed to go someplace and guess what? We survived. God kids are so coddled now. They live at home until they're 40 because they have no tools to deal with the real world.

should only take that child 7 years, if they save every penny they make a day and work 7 days a week

But let us say it is marketed at children....We all know children smoke( and it isn't even considered a bad thing in Asian countries), shouldn't they have access to something less harmful than cigs?

80 dollars. dna 75 w/ 26650. hmm. not a bad price.

LOL.

My eye caught dovpo-poke in the URL, and after I looked at the odd clamshell design I never bothered checking the specs.

Didn't realize they'd plonked a DNA in the thing. :p

I think I was considering how uncomfortable or not the ball and fire button placement would be.
(no... still don't want one ;) )

"Think of the children" holds no weight with me since I have none and couldn't care less about other peoples. My only issue with stuff like this is when the wrong people see it, because it's just perfect ammo aimed right at sheeple parent's hearts and minds.

That's exactly my issue with it. Apparently, that makes me a "commie".

I wish Oxford would airdrop the definition of "communist" and "Karma" over the entire country so idiots could stop making themselves look like idiots.

lol Well I guess I'm a commie too then. I do have to say though it is a refreshing change from the snowflake/safe space/coloring book stuff that has been so widely adopted by the simple minded as a catch all for anything they don't agree with.

What about the poor children? What will people think when they see it? Sounds like a bunch of bullshit to me. Again, worry about yourself. I think it's dumb as shit, but I'm not gonna play some pathetic 'we gotta save everybody from themselves' game because I don't like it. Bunch of little Sally's that have never seen the truly ugly part of the world and think stuff like this is actually a problem worth discussing. You whining little lady's make me sick. Actually makes me miss being deployed where %%%%% like this doesn't exist. Your grandfather would kick your ass then kick your dad's ass.

My head doesn't hurt. It got knocked around plenty since I grew up as a normal kid, rode my bike through mountain trails with no pads, no helmet, rode my skateboard with no helmet or pads. I guess I got used to it and grew immune, I didn't walk my bike around a pre approved foam padded park geared out like a hockey goalie lmao.

I'm not saying they should interrupt saturday morning cartoons to be like 'hey kids, check out this vape!' but the coddling has gotten nuts. Reminds me of the commercial for some car seat that's all adjustable, it's supposed to fit the kid from infant to like 17yrs old and 150lbs or some crap. My only point was the world is filled with plenty of things that aren't kiddy safe or approved, then again even theme parks have a height restriction where you have to be this big to ride this ride. The world isn't one giant chuck e cheese's.

Pretty sad when grown adults have to start going without because children can't be handled by their parents. I'm sure somewhere there's an advocacy group protesting and complaining because captain morgan has kid appeal and obviously anything pirate directly means peter pan/cptn hook so therefor is aimed at 5yo's.

Actually if you ask me, pokemon in general is a bit more disturbing than the thought of vaping. It comes from the Japanese wording which means 'pocket monster' and the idea is to capture the creatures by force against their will so they will obey their master. So basically playing with your 'pocket monster' with a bdsm twist, adding them to a 'collection' much in the same way serial killers behave but that's a whole different basket of issues. Not sure vaping is the major concern here lmao.

Lots of kids and adults like pokemon, (my kid included) and I never thought that was a good thing. They are silly to me and cost way too much for cards and toys IMHO. Catching creatures, keeping them in your pocket, and forcing them to fight. I am sure this is illegal somewhere...

However, for the adult pokemon collectors it is a cool mod and I have nothing against it being advertised as such.

So we should ban stuff that might make us look bad?
What about bright colors, kids love those.
obviously candy flavored ejuice needs to go, then every other flavor, just in case
pink mods and blue mods, because they might be targeting newborns
zero mg juice because it might look like a gateway instead of being an endgame

To act like we are not fighting an uphill battle and beyond reproach is the worst thing we can do right now. We will have to conform on some things to keep what we have and it's up to us right now to pick those battles. Taking the stance that everything is fair game because adults can like it is just going to make it all the easier to bend us over and screw us. I'm not saying to not fight for flavors, nic preference, or mod colors but for fucks sake let's not make it too easy to demonize us.

I'm a vaper but I'm also a realist as well and would like to keep being one at the risk of not being able to vape off a fucking Pokémon themed mod. I'll take black with skulls and crossbones on it if I get to keep doing what I'm doing now.

You could also argue public gatherings should be banned indefinitely because the terrorist attacks, don't give those guys a target and there would be nothing to attack.

But that is NOT a world I want to live in

The best way to deal with it is not to purchase the freaking $80 ill conceived device

Fuck the idiot childless psychology PhDs telling us how we should raise our kids. And fuck the idiot parents that have no time for their kids and think buying them anything and everything they want will make up for the neglect. And for that matter why should I give a shit about your kid anyway? And if I want two big balls mods and a skinny little tank I'm gonna get one. Piss on all you pussies.

Sorry but I have 2 kids and I'd rather catch them vaping than smoking. Just me... but hey fuck everyone else's kids. I raised mine and if they can't teach theirs right from wrong or control them, then fuck em. Not my problem. I'm a working adult and I'm entitled to do or buy whatever I want, whether that is this stupid mod (not) or a new vibrator. If I earn the money for it and I want it then I should get to purchase it.

Actually no one in the US should have to worry, that mod was not out before 8/8/16..if you are worried about making vaping look bad you shouldn't be ordering contraband in the first place

Wow, you are a hardcore pokemon fan, aren't you? Obviously there is no point in trying to have rational conversation with you..... Sorry my opinion made you cry, especially so close to Christmas.

Sure thing Nancy. By the way, everyone else can see what you posted and what I posted so go ahead and make shit up and level insults that have nothing to do with anything being discussed and hope nobody notices your bullshit. Haha, pathetic. I've made my opinion pretty clear. If that's a problem for you, clean the sand out of your vagina and whine to someone who cares. I'm gonna go do grown up shit and not care what others might think or say. :0

That is too funny when I see anyone get upset about this kind of thing. Grow up and deal with it. My 11 year old daughter loves pokemon, She loves many other things as well. Just because she likes pokemon. doesn't mean she is tempted to vape.

When one is involved with their children. they can give guidance. It is a very valuable tool.

We also like horror and gore films, but dont count on my kid being one of those who willl shoot up a school. All the bad things a child willl see are also all the opportunities that we have to communicate healthy behaviors and how to cope with the consequences of the other choices, with them.

One can not control how others act, but we can control how we react to what we witness.
Pretty simple if you ask me...

Is pokemon even still a 'thing' with kids today? I thought that was like 20 or so years ago. Now it yu-gee-oh or some stupid shit. lol.
tomorrow it will be something else.
Either way, I doubt some kid will see that and say OH I GOTTA VAPE! Seems to me they have to show id and sign for that stuff in most countries anyway.
