i dont know, vapes can be social if someone who owns one is showing it to someone who doesnt. A friend of mine has one, and we were going to smoke it cause he was wanting to show how it worked cause he didnt have any weed to smoke for a while, but then everyone just grew apart for the winter and stuff, but we were all going to smoke out of it, and shit, but it would have been social, but ive also been around when people were being social over a grav too, it just depends on who the people are, i mean if they talk to you while your setting it up for yourself to use then it is a social experience, but if they just stay quite then they are being anisocial at the time and it can lead you to think its not a social experience, but it is tougher in groups to use a grav, but it can be rewarding too i suppose.
