All vapers are the same with regards to the fact that they now have a new habit that is much safer and a lot better than their old habit of smoking. However, every vaper differs from one another because they are after all individuals with different personalities and behaviors. Thus, from a single new vaping habit come different types of vapers.
The Newbie
Regardless which you are from the different types of vapers, you most certainly started as a noob, a beginner. The newbie can go through two steps in the process. A newbie is the enthusiastic newbie vaper, who asks a lot of questions. This vapers asks a lot such as what another vaper is using, which eliquid flavor tastes great, etc.
From asking questions, this beginner vaper might be able to find the right device, the right set up, the perfect vaping gear and best eliquid flavor. Feeling proud of your discovery, you might decide to show off your vaping gears to other people. As go continue vaping, you could become other types of vapers.
The Builder
From your entry level device, you realize that you are hardly satisfied by the performance, taste, vapor production and throat hit it can offer. Realizing that you have some tinkering skills or that you can watch some tutorial videos, you decide to take on another vaping level by upgrading your own vape setup.
You may decide to tinker on your device or choose hardware to tinker on such as rebuildable atomizers. You may also wish to mix your own eliquid, come up with your own flavor blend of ejuice and achieve the right nicotine strength to please your taste buds.
This is basically how the builder or engineer vapers become. They are not able to find the vape device that can satisfy them so they just decide to come up with something that truly pleases them. Their ideas are innovative and they are the ones who have started the modding culture.
The Former Smoker
Years have been spent by these people on smoking. They have tried every possible option or means just to give up the deadly habit. From being a beginner vaper or newbie, these are the people who were motivated enough to become finally free from the smoking imprisonment.
They have finally emerged as the winner in the battle. They are now proud to call themselves as ex-smokers. From being smoke-free, these people can now choose to either go on with their vaping habit or give this up altogether.
The Responsible Vapers And Not So Responsible Ones
Vaping will undoubtedly provide better health to any smoker who chooses to go vaping rather than smoking. However, not all vapers share the same principles and beliefs in life. There will be vapers who would still make it a point to be responsible when vaping in public. They will ask permission from the management of a restaurant or club if vaping indoors is allowed. These vapers would not just bring out their device and start exhaling vapors even when there are other non-vapers around.
The not so responsible ones are those who are probably too excited about their newly found freedom. They were told that vaping basically breaks no smoking law and they flaunt this by brazenly vaping in public despite the stars and the gapes. These are the people who believe that vaping should be a basic individual’s right. They believe that they are advocating for vaping this way.
The Real Advocates
Speaking of vaping advocacy, perhaps those wannabe advocates should think through and hard just what proper advocacy is or how they can properly advocate for the vape movement. Advocating for vaping should not be done by challenging the law.
Properly advocating for the life changing new habit is by showing society that vaping community is responsible, law abiding and considerate. From personal decisions to vape in public to ecig business practices, one could promote vaping in a more positive light.
