New to Janty Stick - Scared to smoke in public

[ImArchimedes]

To be honest, the first time I saw a Janty Stick...that's the first thing that came into my head in terms of what it looked like (size/shape of many such devices you see in head shops). Up close I would imagine a cop would recognize that it is not drug paraphernalia, but that doesn't prevent potential confrontations if they see you from a distance.

Ah, Okay. Now we have someone in the thread that apparently sees what ever it was that my co-workers saw. I know we are not supposed to talk about narcotics but, I have to ask, what device does it look like? Something you smoke crack with? .........? Horse tranquilizers? I just want to know the level of emotional response I'm gonna get from a cop. I'm figuring if its ........., he'll be aggressive but that's fine. As stated above, the move cops that know, the better it is for all of us vapers. If it's crack or horse tranquilizers, I might get tackled : ) Just good thing for me to know AHEAD of time.

When I go out to a bar or restaurant I always take my M402, JS, Cisco laser mod, VP2 and a 510 with me. I'll vape anything anywhere I can.

The Janty just delivers so much more visible vapor than the sticks that people associate with e-cigs. That's why they would stand out more.
They come in some markets with janty belt clip leather pouch and once inside these, the whole thing resembles a small cell phone/mobile phone with the tip looking the part of the antenna.
You could always just say it's one of those new micro cell phones. Nobody will bat an eyelid. Smoke? Oh it caught alight but you blew it out

Well, a cigar can look the same way, if it is hand rolled. People just arent aware of these mods yet, and by people like us educating them, they will spread the word and before long, noone will look twice. however, if you think it may tarnish ur image in the workplace, Id get a penstyle or similar and keep the JS for the car/home/wkends. Police, on the other hand are debriefed on new devices almost daily by fellow officers and meetinngs w/in the dept so they themselves are aware of whats out there and the laws on them. From afar they may seek suspision, but when they get closer I doubt they will approach you. I vape a Chuck and SB and SD in ppublic while working in 2 states, I educate my coworkers and now they are like "is that ur new ecig mod?" "can i try that one?" lol. Its all about what UR comfortable with I suppose

Or how about this: "Drug device? Hey, what's this thing? Where'd my harmonica go? Very funny guys, give it back!"

Crack Pipe?! Haha no I really don't think crack heads...or is it Crack Heads...invest in fancy machinery to process their rocks. They're more of a glass tube kind of crowd if memory serves me. An I think they prefer to huddle in alleys and doorways whilst imbibing rather than jaunting down the street towards the bus stop. Srsly, have you ever seen someone tooling down the sidewalk with a lighter to a glass tube?

Possibly looks like a portable vaporizer, for pot. maybe thats what they were getting at, but it's still a far stretch.

[General Idea]

I have had one of my customers relate to me that he was puffing his titanium 510 at a stop light and a cop pulled him over. He explained it to the cop, taking apart the batt atty and cart, showing him a bottle of vanilla eliquid. The cop gave it a sniff and let him go straight away.

I have also had several customers tell me that an 801 in chrome looks like a crack stem to them and they wouldn't consider vaping it in public (they use white 901's with brown round carts and red LEDs).

I have a janty stick on order for personal use as my 601 pipe burned out in my briefcase one day - melted the cart as well. I'm certain I'll use it in public without any major concern - the occasional explanation goes with the territory.

Ummm their should be no worries.. I mean OP has some legit concerns,but if you look guilty people may think you are.... I haven't had ANY problems with my JS going through international Airport customs, vaping in public,, or sticking it in my nose.... the last is a lie...my daughter said I was Growdy hehe...I was just being a silly dad.

This other talk is just idle banter....don't be worried ...and yes people may question , but for the most part people usually mind their own business. Just use basic common sense
