Vaping as a business and hobby frequently blurs lines and breaks down pop culture barriers . Vapouround have extensively chronicled and explored the deep versatility of this activity and the range of societies , side projects and subcultures it has .
The ongoing battle for the mainstream acceptance of vaping in media , politics and the public and private sectors is unfolding as a team effort comprising of discussion , debate , cooperation and collaboration between individuals and organisations . On podcast you ’ ll find just about everyone from the most colourful personalities to renowned public health experts and academics presenting the evidence on vaping and smoking cessation . One outstanding example is California-based Vape Radio , which describes itself as the , “ voice of the vape space where you ’ ll hear from thought leaders and vapreneurs on the ever-evolving e-cig / vaping industries .”
Described as the world ’ s largest online community for vapers , Vapers Place hosts VP Live , a call-in show for vapers around the world who can participate in discussions and interact with its hosts in real time .
SHOULD I START MY OWN ?
If you ’ re passionate about podcasts and an avid vaper , why not start your own ? The community always benefits when a new voice is added to the discussion and everyone ’ s experiences differ – be they your journey out of smoking , your personal methods for mod maintenance or your pointers for starting your own e-liquid line . Trade shows , conferences , charity events , giveaways , and online forums can now add podcasts to their number as an outlet for community building .
With vaping now a global phenomenon , vapers no longer rely as heavily as they used to on purchasing items locally . International purchases via online stores are the backbone of the trade in the 21st century and podcasts can provide an accessible , informative path to understanding how various vaping markets are doing in this complex world .

One of these is the Smoke Free Radio Network ; which hosts The Smokers Show , an outlet for – you guessed it – smoking cessation , with a focus on marketing itself to an audience of smokers and new vapers who may not have kicked the habit yet .
