Let them look, let them hold, throw a condom on and let them try!<\/p>\n<p>IMHO anyone who puts their nose up to someone just because they don&#8217;t have equipment as good as you, doesn&#8217;t get it and shouldn&#8217;t be there in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>Equipment aside, we are all vapers!<\/p>\n<p>So to the Iowa Vapers, I sincerely hope you had a great first event with many more to come in the future with continued growth!<\/p>\n<p>My apologies that this message is late.<\/p>\n<div style=\"padding-bottom:20px; padding-top:10px;\" class=\"hupso-share-buttons\"><!-- Hupso Share Buttons - https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/ --><a class=\"hupso_toolbar\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/buttons\/dot.png\" style=\"border:0px; padding-top: 5px; float:left;\" alt=\"Share Button\"\/><\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\">var hupso_services_t=new Array(\"Twitter\",\"Facebook\",\"Google Plus\",\"Pinterest\",\"Reddit\");var hupso_background_t=\"#EAF4FF\";var hupso_border_t=\"#66CCFF\";var hupso_toolbar_size_t=\"medium\";var hupso_image_folder_url = \"\";var hupso_url_t=\"\";var hupso_title_t=\"TO%20THE%20IOWA%20VAPERS...\";<\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/js\/share_toolbar.js\"><\/script><!-- Hupso Share Buttons --><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I FEEL TERRIBLE!
