A dedicated vaping topic?

107 replies

magimedi · 12/04/2014 15:47

Please, MNHQ, could we have one? I'm sure you are aware of how many more people vape nowadays & what a great way it is to give up smoking.

In six months we have had five threads about vaping see here & they are filling up faster & faster. More & more people aretaking up vaping as opposed to smoking & are wanting information.

Starting vaping can be a bit complicated & we could separate the information within a thread so that it was far more easily available for everyone to use.

Hope you'll agree & we can have our dedicated "Nest of Vapers"!

Thanks for this - we will put it to the Topics Consideration Committee and get back to you ASAP.

Fingers crossed,

Thank you Smile

(and another quiet bump)

There are so many vaping forums on the net now it would be nice to have a Mumsnet one.

Exciting times Smile

PlentyOfPubeGardens · 13/04/2014 17:31

Yes, I find the dedicated vaping forums a bit intimidating (although a very valuable source of info and I'm extremely grateful they are there). I think a MN vaping topic would provide something different from what you can find elsewhere because it would have a different less willy waving tone. Might even attract new members to MN Wink

YY, the dedicated vaping websites are a bit intimidating, it would be great to have a place here!

There's a topics consideration commitee? Confused

I'm not bumping for the day vapers to see... Honestly.

PlentyOfPubeGardens · 14/04/2014 16:59

Schro, I believe 'committee' has two t's Smile

(also not bumping)

SchroSawMargeryDaw · 14/04/2014 17:02
Hmm

If we get a vaping topic, can we have our own pedants corner?

:o

still not bumping

PlentyOfPubeGardens · 14/04/2014 17:27

Shouldn't it be pedant's or maybe pedants'?

SchroSawMargeryDaw · 14/04/2014 17:27

Grrr. Angry

Another vote here from a different point of view. I neither smoke nor vape, but I find it vaguely and irrationally irritating to see the thread constantly near the top in AIBU when it blatantly has nothing to do with AIBU.

PlentyOfPubeGardens · 14/04/2014 22:34

That's a very good point, nenny, we are aware that we piss people off.

We have stuck to AIBU for traffic because it's brilliant whenever a smoker discovers vaping, it could literally save their life (if you want to dispute that please start a new thread). While a vaping topic would be great, we don't intend to be invisible in other topics.

There is a way to hide threads if tthey are bothering you. Someone who is not on a shitty toy tablet computer can probably tell you how.

magimedi · 14/04/2014 22:57

Nenny - Apolgies, but if the thread was in Chat it would vanish & there is some great info there for those who want to ditch cigarettes/smoking.

Another great reason to give us our own space!"

I'm on an iphone and its quite easy, just scroll to the top and it says 'start new thread' 'flip' and 'hide'. Probably the same on tablet. I'm always clicking hide by accident.

sneaky bump, see how I did that?

PlentyOfPubeGardens · 14/04/2014 23:26

Thanks Brian Smile

not a bump

SoleSource · 15/04/2014 17:48

whatadrama · 16/04/2014 11:13

Rowan if Mumsnet are nervous about being seen to be promoting vaping because its still unkown entity, can you do a separate quit smoking topic and have vaping under one heading followed by patches/ cold turkey/ medication methods?

Is anybody there?......... Grin

Shit, what happened to my spelling Blush
