Vaping resources: blogs, communities and advocacy sites
This is a list of resources for vapers and vendors alike. We’ve gathered lists of the most popular vaping communities and blogs, and the most important vaping advocacy organizations from around the world.
A lot of vapers have taken to blogging to express thoughts on a wide range of ideas. Our blog list also includes scientists and advocates.
Forums are where many smokers become vapers -- places where they can get advice directly from experiences users. Researching this, we found a lot of communities that have very few users, or have gone weeks or even months without posts. Those sites didn’t make our list -- but if we’ve missed any that are active, please use our contact form and let us know!
The advocacy list includes both consumer organizations and trade groups. If you know of groups we’ve missed, please contact us, and we’ll include them.
