WHAT’S YOUR PERS ALITY?Ohm

Between tricksters, social activists, juice lovers and more, there’s a range of different types of vapers…in this feature, we outline five of the most popular.

here’s no denying that the vape crowd is a diverse one…it only takes a visit to a trade expo or community forum to see that.

The industry is made up of people from all walks of life who are unified by the reduced risk smoking alternative and the public health power it presents.

Some of us are hobbyists - defined by our love of crafting coils and hardware - while others are committed advocates, always ready to pick up a placard and lobby for the sector.

But with so many different kinds of vaper out there, it can be challenging to figure out which type best represents you.

In this feature, we breakdown five of the most common vaping personalities and highlight what makes each of them unique.

If you spend a lot of time perfecting your cloud-chasing skills or enjoy orchestrating swirling plumes of vapour with showy hand displays, then you may well be a vape trickster.

This personality type enjoys the lighter, fun side of the industry and is certainly no stranger to a bit of competition…they may have even won a few.

For the vape trickster, blowing O’s and showing off their talents is an great way to express their love for the industry and for the smoking alternative.

Whether it’s researching new products or keeping up with all the latest developments in the sector, this personality type wants to…well, know it all.

They take pride in their rich understanding of the industry, eager to learn more and serve up a feast of facts and statistics.

But being a ‘know-it-all’ vaper is about more than just having an encyclopedic knowledge, it’s about using it to educate smokers on the reduced risk product and maybe even helping them quit cigarettes.

Disposables? pods? Not for this type of vaper.

Be it trying new flavours or experimenting with different brands, the juice collector is all about the e-liquid.

They most likely have a assortment of bottles at home that could put a small store to shame and love finding a new additions for their collection.

Signing petitions, sharing advocacy posts and attending peaceful demonstrations? All in a day’s work for the social activist vaper.

Despite helping people across the globe ditch deadly cigarettes, the reduce risk alternative is still facing misinformation and scare stories… but this type of vaper wants to see change.

They focus on educating and lobbying, spreading the good word of harm reduction to decisionmakers and smokers in the tireless mission to uplift the industry.

From building coils to brewing their own e-liquid and building mods, the hobbyist vaper is deeply involved in the artistry of e-cigarettes.

In the early days of the industry, there was a wave of people who fell into this category, but as times have changed and solutions like disposables have grown in popularity, the community has sadly dwindled.

But despite this, there is still a strong and dedicated group of die-hard hobbyists who continue the proud tradition and uphold this innovative side of the industry.
