    Default My e-cig work experience.

    I work as a custodian at a local community college.
    I showed my e-cig to my brother, and another co-worker. Both of them were impressed. My brother should soon be putting in an order with puresmoker.

    Both my brother and the co-worker, when we were sitting in the janitors closet waiting to punch out, kept pressuring me to show the device to our engineer. The engineer is the guy that makes sure there's no smoking in the buildings (amongst other things). The entire campus is non-smoking.

    Finally we were all standing around his desk and they kept asking me to show him, i pulled out my super mini and said, "Well i don't know it's not against building regulations, is it?" and the engineer replied "Well it's not smoke, right?" and i said, "Right, it's water vapor. It's steam basically."
    So finally the engineer says, "Well do it then!"

    So i took a long sip off my njoy. I then blew the un-inhaled smoke directly in his face. He didn't blink, he just sniffed at it for a second, and said, "You're right, it's not smoke. Actually i think it's very pleasant."

    So now i can smoke it inside, after only a day of owning it i have convinced 5-6 people to buy it without even trying to. The engineer actually told me he is going to buy shares in NJOY. I warned him they are not FDA tested in the united states yet, but everyone i show this to thinks it is the future of smoking. I tend to agree, honestly. It's really amazing.

    So e-smoking is now permitted for custodians on the campus of the college i work at, inside buildings. Student approval is pending with the engineers on other shifts.

    Very nice work. You did everything exactly right to help e-smoking become further established. Thank God you didn't shout that it's legal to use anywhere. We should all know better.

    Yep, you did good!

    The best way is to smoke it outside with the other smokers at first. Generate a buzz, eventually word will spread to your boss and he will want to see it. It really does have a pleasant smell to non smokers. I have blown vapor at 4-5 of them now and all of them react in the same way.
    They expect it to smell like a cigarette or cigar. The vapor is just much less noxious than traditional combusted tobacco products.

    My boss and co workers were actually quite supportive and enthusiatic of me using the e cig, they didnt mind me using it while i am sitting at my desk either which is a great benefit.

    however, I don't know why, but i always prefer to leave my seat and go outside or down to the warehouse for a vape...

    I do the same at home, I only vape out the back garden, even if it is freezing cold.

    I guess its a habit of mine, and to be honest, i'd prefer to vape where i used to smoke. it just feels .. 'right'

    What i do is, in order to make it a little more psychologically homey, like a real cigarette, i leave it in a certain room while i go and work. Then when i want to smoke i go to that room and smoke for a bit, then i split and do some more work, go back, etc.
    It's cool, because it doesn't take nearly as much time as actually going outside, you can smoke inside if your co-workers accept it, and you kind of get the experience of, "going for a smoke" or "having a smoke break". Plus you can just keep your juice and carts and preferably your charger and a battery in there and you got everything you need. This has been working well for me and keeps me from just constantly smoking it all the time while i work.
