I feel like an idiot vaping in public

[radicaljd]

i almost flaunt it myself - I always hated the "smoke free" places cause i'd always have to go outside. now i don't even worry about it, grocery stores, etc, i just don't exhale huge clouds in these places, maybe let out just a little bit so they can see the vapor but not spraying clouds of it into the air....often...lol. I'd b glad to answer questions about it if someone would even come up and ask. but I love the fact that i can use it in a lot of places i couldn't smoke. and anywhere i can't simply won't get my business.

I'm with you on that. I see no reason to confine myself to smoking areas. I mean, if some store manager or security guard insists that I refrain from vaping even after I explain I am not smoking, I will certainly comply. But so far that has not happened.

My PV gives off much less smell than a person wearing cologne or perfume. Does anyone kick them out?

I've convinced almost 3 people to start vaping. I vape when I walk down the street, but I cup it in my hand. Also had a cute waitress ask me about it when I was sitting outside, and she seemed interested since she had heard of them before. I was with my girlfriend though so I made sure I didn't talk too long

I try to stealth vape in my car which is difficult because I have a big honkin' PINK Riva. LOL....so far only one person has questioned me and he said "is that one of those electric cigarette things?" I took it as an educational opportunity. My concern is getting into a tangle with law enforcement over what it is...I'm sure none of our officers here are familiar with PV's and would probably take me straight to jail without passing go if they saw me with it in the car or in public. It would almost be worth it because I would cause a stink like no ones business....and I could educate the entire county in one fell swoop with headlines like "Middle aged woman wrongly arrested for vaping while driving sues county, wins $5 million."

I love showing off my pv in public, I have turned probably at least 15 people now altogether, a few of them are just people that I talked to in public, sometimes it can get annoying but I figure if I am helping at least one person kick the analogs it's all good..

I was vaping today while walking in the parking lot at the grocery. didnt feel as if anybody was watching. my pv is a white joy510 . looks like a cigarette . i think if i was using a different looking model, i might have been more stealth about it. not sure?

I didn't mean to sound like a grumpy guss Brad. I'm always all for telling ppl how good it is to vape and explain it to them. It just seems like when I'm at school i always get those crazy questions or they ask questions for 30mins and when i tell them how much they go "oh nevermind I don't have the money for that so it gets frustrating at times.

Youthful - those kids that are asking are just crying to be educated, aren't they? On a couple of fronts (but this isn't the forum for that...) Anyway, I think it's great that you are at least trying to help them if they are smoking analogs as well. When one of my young employees quit smoking (I didn't know it) and I saw her pull out her e-cig when she got into her car to drive home. When I asked her about it, she laughed and told me about the e-cig. As her boss, I was relieved! Hopefully you will continue to be a good influence on those who ask you ~they will be SO much more influenced to change their behaviors by someone close to their age!

I see where ur coming from.. i think of it this way, I feel MORE like an idiot if I smoked analogs in public compared to my PV.. power through that .... man..

But there is a distinctive smell from the vapor, and the emission is mostly not water vapor but PV or VG plus some nicotine.

Have to question your intent here? Please explain this statement, for all I know the nic gets cooked by the atty. Do you have evidence that we are exhaling nicotine?

It's hard for me to help because I have never been shy. I love talking to people all kinds of people. So for me it's a blast I always show people how it works and what it does. It's a great way to meet people and talk with them. I found that most people are just curious they haven't seen one and wonder what is going on, you can use that to open up to people or if that is really too hard, which I would understand, then I would suggest stealth vaping.

I bring along an extra tip so people can try it out. I have let at least a hundred people try mine that way and many of them are now picking up kits of their own.

Good Luck and Happy Vaping.

+1, i am and feel the exact same way mate

Well, realistically, there must be trace amounts of nicotine exhaled, but not enough to have any effect on other people.
