We at The National Union of Apathetic Vapers would like to extend our gratitude to Stealthvape for allowing us to have this platform to introduce ourselves. Many of you will have experience of standing on platforms, feeling all isolated and wondering if that thing you were expecting will ever arrive. So here it is: The NUAV is arriving far too late, promises you an unimpressive journey and guarantees that our prices will rise faster than inflation. It’s trains; we’re making ourselves seem like trains. Oh sod it.

“Dear Stealthvape,” begins most letters we receive, “you are so awesome and stuff but I wonder if you can help me?” Pretty much all of these emails (not requesting used pants) are focussed on the vexing issues regarding vape and travel. So, instead of sending multiple answers we thought we’d tie them all up in one handy to print and use article.
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.
“Is it meant to be like this?” It’s the only question that would go through my mind when I took up vaping. If juice wasn’t coming out of the CE2 mouthpiece then it was flooding out of the bottom thanks mainly to an errant ill-fitting head.
“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.
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™.
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 was bitingly cold, every sensible person in the street was by a fire eating crumpets and watching Doctor Who. They could do that because fires hadn’t suffered a de facto ban, proper dense fog ruled the weather and people hadn’t yet realised how bad a choice Sylvester McCoy was.
