This is the new vape culture: users needing a toned down, quick way to enjoy their vapor. No vapor in anyone's face, and no scent of blue-unicorn-pepperberry lingering around even after the vaper in question is gone. The usual “vape sighting” I see on my daily commute is someone slyly retrieving their pen style vape, taking a draw, and then easing it back into their pocket or purse. Thankfully, this stigma is losing steam (or in this case, vapor). Wax and dry herb vaporizers have the opposite goal of e-juice vapes: be discreet but as soon as someone hears “vape”, they’ll assume you’ll be blowing “fat clouds” in their faces just to show off. Portable wax vaporizers and disposable vape pens made it infinitely safer and simpler to use concentrates while on the go. The overboard vape culture started by e-juice users was early enough in the modern vaporizer era that this stigma has stuck around to today, and has enveloped concentrate users into its anti-vaporizer circle.Īs concentrate use started to expand from “stoner nerd” circles into “regular thc enthusiasts” people wanted an alternative to having to wield a torch while under the effects of concentrated THC to enjoy their wax. When I first started seeing the rise in vaping I associated the word with fedoras and those anime button downs that also have flames for some reason. While some of the hate was semi-warranted, it turned the word “vape” into an insult. Lets be honest, we all hated seeing this guy at a restaurant. Big clouds, and lingering sweet smells were a common annoyance for people encountering e-juice users in the wild. E cig and e-juice users ran with the “cloud chasing” trend when powerful mods became more prevalent, which turned the public off due to the, let's call it “boldness” some users had while enjoying their vaporizer in public. Ever since the modern vape era started in the early 2000s a stigma has surrounded vape use.
