The E-Cigarette in Public Have you used e-cigarettes in no-smoking areas? How did those around you react? Is it the perfect way around the smoking ban?

My cat doesn't particularly like it but I know she's curious especially if I'm up in my bed at night and she see's the led light up and then sees me blow out vapor she just looks up at it and watches it dissipate but if I blow it at her she'll run away.

Thats funny to hear that PG is terrible for cats since there are so many avatars of cats smoking or vaping.

My little cat Eva is always trying to bite the mouthpiece when I vape - whistletip or round, she loves them all! She is happiest trying to do this if she can walk to and fro across my laptop keyboard at the same time.

Default My doggie

My doggie would leave the area when I lit up, but my PV doesn't affect her one way or the other---well except that she no longer sneezes when she's around me after I had a smoke.

My cats are completely opposite then what I'm reading here. They seemed to prefer me to smoke cigarettes over vaping.

In my old house, which we smoked in, they were never phased by a cigarette. My new house where we didn't smoke in, smoking time was their favorite, they got to come outside with us inside the screen house (house cats).

Now, they completely run out of the area when they see us even grab our ecig. I'm also pretty sure they are upset they don't get to go outside every 45 minutes.

I didn't know PG was harmful to cats, but I never leave my nic juice anywhere my cats could get to it. To the people who actually blow the vape in their cats faces, seriously? That just seems like a bad idea even if a cat was totally indifferent to it.

yes, there is a problem with PG and cats, so i am more careful than i would be with a mere kid(hate em) (kids that is) so when i drip, i shoo her away, she seems to know to wait till i wipe up the little space and my hands up, comes right back. if i vape while watching tv in bed, (yes, i`ve become one of those 70% of people that have pets, their pet sleeps in the bed) she stare at the clould, but has not even try to sniff it.

Don't you realize that the cat isn't your pet, you're her servant? And btw, it's her bed, she just lets you sleep in it because she's nice.

My cats own my bed and I'm lucky they let me sleep in the little sliver that's left against the wall. But, they're cute, so I don't mind.

I'm pretty sure the secondhand vapor would not have an amount of PG that would actually even register with a cat. Obviously if they were lapping up a ppol of Ejuice it would be different but mine are constantly in the same room (or on my lap) when I vape and they don't even notice. I'm pretty sure the amount of actual chemicals in the exhale is way less (especially since if you don't exhale fast you won't even have vapor) than if you put the pv in the cat's mouth, pressed the button and told them to inhale.

Having had both cats and dogs, my conclusion is, cats are digital, while dogs are analog. So far, my dog just loves sniffing my vapor.

I have 4 cats who are now overjoyed that I no longer go outside to smoke. This is a big deal for them since they would sit at the garage door and meow till I came back inside!
They watch the vapor sometimes but other then that are not interested. Well, except Setesh who is a kleptomaniac and will steal anything that he can carry in his mouth. Hence I watch my e cig equipment closely.

Anubis, Setesh, Sekhemet, and Apophys think the e-cig is the best thing to ever happen to them!
