Vaping at work?
I work for a corporate company in the customer service department. I was telling our HR generalist about how I quit smoking and have starting using a vp to help in my goal of staying off analogs. She told me that since it's not "smoking", she'd have to inform management that I'd be using it at my desk. She volunteered this information without any prompting by myself.
I told her I wasn't interested in using it at my desk (too public for me to have some sort of announcement go out), but I'd use the bathroom or something like that. She said it was fine and she'd address it individually with anyone who mentioned it to her. I was pleasantly surprised by this.
Has anyone else had a similar situation? Can you vape inside?

I vape like a fiend at my desk all day... and I take my 510 or Revolver out on the manufacturing floor and vape there too. It's liberating.

I work at a busy florida airport and see alot of employees vaping eveywhere but outside. I go out and join the smokers, I think its a matter of perception. especially if your wearing a badge!

I vaped at my old job and no one noticed for a week. Then this mean manager I SHOWED the vaporizer to told the bosses. They never talked to me but this bastard said if I ever used it inside again he'd have me fired. So in my opinion, it's best if you don't tell your superiors or even your co-workers and just let out your puffs discreetly. I still vape when I'm in my nursing courses and no one notices - one teacher I had was really liberal and I'd vape right in front of her and she never said anything, but then again it was a speech class and she would leave the room for 10 minutes every midterm/final to allow us to cheat so your mileage may vary!

I vape in my office all the time. The other smokers are considering a PV out of jealousy.
I spoke to my boss about it and HR...both are fine with it.

I just started one day, and no one in power noticed for 2 months. Once I told them that I had been doing for that long and no one cared they didn't have a problem with it. Now I use my chuck and the only thing people do is try to guess the flavor.

I vape in my cubicle all day, in a smallish room with 5 other cubes. My cellmates, er, cubemates, enjoy guessing the flavor of the day. Office manager calls me into his office all the time to give demos of the ecig to vendors and visitors.

I am a network consultant, so I don't have a desk in an office that I work at everyday. However, I have shown most of my clients my pv and so far I have had no complants from any of them when I vape in their server rooms or at a desk. In fact, I even got a few of the people that smoke to think about vaping instead of smoking.

I happily vape at my desk all day with the blessing of my boss (mostly because I converted her 3-pack-of-analogs-a-day hubby to a vaper). Life is good!

My friend/co-worker and I vape all day at work in our cubicles.
I think everyone is just glad we don't have to take smoke breaks anymore.
