Where do forum members vape?

Perhaps something like this has been done before, but I just thought it would be interesting to start a thread to see the random places us e-smokers end up puffing on our chosen devices... from the most private (at home to the staff toilet) to the most public (on the tube in rush hour to your local pub).

For me, I haven't yet become much of an exhibitionist with my vaping, and mainly vape at home, work or the occasional discrete puff whilst out and about.

I'm sure that many of you have been far more adventurous and think it would be fun to post where you generally vape and any photos for evidence if you're that way inclined!!

Anyway, I'm not encouraging a list of 'the weirdest, most inappropriate places to vape', as this would be irresponsible and I hope that (like a lot of people on the forum) if you do occasionally vape in a public environment, you ask permission beforehand (if necessary) and explain the device instead of intentionally trying to raise eyebrows which would just be silly!


Fire away...

I vape mostly at home and at work (I have an office to myself, but I have vaped with other people around in there after explaining it to them).

I also vape when I'm walking around the local streets. There are all sorts of strange people around where I live, so no one really looks twice. Occasionally in the pub I'll discreetly vape in a corner, or go out to the smoking area if it's busy. I vaguely recall recently having a drunken conversation with a bouncer about my e-cig. He was pretty impressed.

That's similar to me - I guess it's one of those things that could well become pretty common place (fingers crossed) in the near future....

For now though, we are all really 'spokespeople' to a technology that could (with the right exposure) become a well known tobacco substitute the world over.... I guess I find this aspect pretty exciting, but also gets me pretty apprehensive as well should it get the wrong kind of exposure/reception!

I vape on the bus. I just hold it a couple seconds, and blow the remaining vapor down through my nose. No one seems to notice, or mention it if they do.

I vape when I am walking around the city. I never vape indoors except my apartment. If I am going inside and it is not my apartment, I use snus.

I vape at home, in the car & on occasion discreetly at work (no one thinks twice about seeing what looks like a pen & they haven't noticed the vapors yet!)..I did enjoy vaping on outdoor restaurant terasses all summer where smoking is allowed anyways..so can't say that I'm being too much of a "rebel" !..just so happy about e-cigs and the freedom to not worry about real cigs anymore & all that guilt!

Mostly at home .
Out and about walking.
Waiting at the bus stop, dont vape on the bus but its only a 10 - 15 min journey .
In my local Costa , I dont try hide the vapour, I did ask first, the staff are cool with it.

Besides at work and in my car, I vape at work, but very discreetly as I work for a government agency and they are very "picky" (ie can't wear any perfume or any other scented product as someone may be allergic, etc)....so I'd rather not take my chances in case they put the kibosh on it, then I'll be screwed.

I also vaped in WalMart the other day. It's a super center and most times I'm in there around 2 hours at a time....3 the other day while I was waiting for an oil change and new tires. It was really nice not to be dying for a smoke when I got out of there! Since my pen doesn't show much vapor, it wasn't noticeable that way and I carried it like a pen so that my hand was wrapped around the lower part of it and no one could even see the LED. It was pretty cool!

Simple - Everywhere. If I can't I don't go!

I actually went to a walk-in movie for the first time in years since I started vaping - I did it discreetly - OF COURSE.

Blatantly: home, work, car, street.

Covertly: restaurants, stores and, during the weeks I volunteer to work the audio board, at church.

I feel vaguely guilty about that last one but I work two services twice a month for a total of about 6 hours including rehearsing the band.
