Hi people, I thought I would write this out after an experience my fiancee had whilst out shopping with her dad, something I have also experienced countless times.
My fiancee was waiting outside the local shopping centre for her Dad, and along comes a cigarette smoker.
She then went on to tell my fiancee 'how dangerous' her Sigelei 50W V2 was, as she had read "how dangerous those things are for you on the internet".
My fiancee responded I am inhaling vapour, made by my fiancee, that I know to be safe. She tried to explain exactly when a mod can be dangerous-for example a mech with a awful battery and super low build-but the woman was convinced that what Cheyenne was using was horrendously dangerous, all whilst smoking a cigarette.
Cheyenne explained what the lady was smoking has over 2000 cancer causing chemicals, hers has zero, and only contains 4 substances.
She stated "I would rather stick to these, much safer", and to her, they actually WAS safer. If I was there I could of explained more, but my fiancee said well thats your choice, the NHS are even going to prescribe these in the future to help people stop smoking, but she just tutted and walked off.
I have had similar experiences-people telling me 'You do know they can blow up' and then I explain I am using a regulated mod, not a mech, and then try to explain simply amp draw and ohms law-its pretty safe as long as you are not stupid, that kind of thing.
Me and my mum have noticed people smoking cigarettes, actually move out of the way to avoid any vapour from my device (I'm not chucking massive clouds in the street, probably around the same amount a cigarette puts out) as if they are going to get poisoned or something. Me and my mum just laugh at their ignorance.
So, does anyone else experience this a lot? Or is this more a UK thing with people being uneducated about vaping?
Even when I tell them I own quite safe batteries and collect mods and know how to be safe-they still warn me that its going to blow up. I do like to point out at this point if they really are going for it that cigarettes have caused many house fires-the stories you have heard are so publicised as they are few and far between.
It would be cool to hear others stories-have you ever had someone really get vexed at you for vaping outdoors? I actually have.
But, I would rather have a healthy set of lungs and not get cancer and also not smell like an ashtray, so its a worthy trade off.
