Doves are lovely. Pigeons aren’t; they’re the unacceptable face of the family much like Justin is to the Biebers. And dovecotes are lovely. We had this massive one in the village, in the middle of the fields where we’d play every summer. A dovecote that is, not a giant dove. The entire world would have heard of where I grew up if it had possessed a colossus Columbidae. But it hasn’t because we didn’t. It was the dovecot.
2015 has been an incredible year for vapers, vape companies and the manufacturers of umbrellas. Ecig articles were everywhere and only the word terrorist has appeared more frequently in newspapers. Probably. Over the last day and a half we were inundated by three requests demanding we compile a list of what we considered to be the best things in vaping this year. Always willing to bend to the whims of our customers (unless it is a request for stainless wire) we are delighted to announce The Stealthvape Awards 2015.
They say you should never go back, they say that. They say that about many things. They say it because they believe you only remember the best aspects about whatever it was and have forgotten the aspects that drove you up the wall. They are probably well meaning.
The rain formed grey lines across the cityscape. Dull buildings reached up into the sky in vain attempts to touch the oppressive clouds that robbed everything of its hue. While the little people below scurried from doorways to taxis to computer screens, Vapeman looked on.
The rise of the temperature-controlled mod has been driven through fashion and fear. On one hand there is the desire for a better vape and on the other users are looking for ways to minimise the risk of dry-burn related toxins. Customers have asked us to provide NiFe30 wire, the latest exciting temperature controlled option, and we are delighted to oblige.
There are some mighty big benefits in being able to work from home. I never have to ask myself if it’s OK to pop off to make a coffee for a start. The dress code is as relaxed as the chair I can slump in to pet the puppy (that’s not a euphemism) and ‘Beer Friday’ can run all week long. Yep, life is good: no one complains about the vape clouds and the music runs to an incredibly loud volume. So I’m insulated.
When I was a young lad I was besotted with my boxes of plastic soldiers. If it wasn’t raining you’d find me out under a bush recreating a conflict in which the good side always won. If it was raining, bed blankets became makeshift hills from which my Tommy battalion would decimate a panzer division. Time rolled on and my idea of what was fun changed, much like how I’ve fallen out of love with the RTA.
It has been clear for some time that research supports the notion of electronic cigarettes as part of a smoking harm reduction strategy. We at Stealthvape are proud and honoured to have been part of this revolution. As ex-smokers, we stand in testament to the power of vaping to get you off and keep you off the harmful cancer-causing smokes. We see it as our destiny to continue this mission and are delighted to bring you the latest, possibly greatest step forward in harm reduction: iBacon™.
I’m no expert on most things, but if there is one thing I know for absolute certain then it’s this: when James Blunt sang: “You’re beautiful. You’re beautiful. You’re beautiful, it’s true,” he wasn’t referring to Tactical Workz’ Maraxus mechanical mod. I know how ugly that thing is because I owned three of them.
“You don’t need another [insert vape gadget here],” she’s said. It’s a place that almost every single vaper has been. Fine, her understanding of vape gear is as good as her working knowledge of carburettor jetting – but she can count and the number currently runs just shy of ridiculous.
