I feel like a dumbass vaping in public.

[euforeik]

I just bought a eGo 1000mah and I am new to the whole vaping thing. I'm 18 and trying to gain enough confidence to vape in public but heres the problem for me. 1. this thing is huge and annoying to carry around, and i feel somewhat stupid smoking out of it. 2. I'm young and just because people love to assume I'm up to no good I'd probably get in trouble. Do you all not care and just vape away?

i can't even believe you feel like a dumbass vaping in public.
did you feel like a dumbass smoking in public ??
never ever feel bad about saving your lungs.
who cares what someone else thinks about your choice to extend your life.
if someone makes a smartass comment, then
slam the snot out of 'em, and tell 'em to make a donation to the cancer foundation.
that makes me sad you feel that way.

I'm no newbie to e-smoking or vaping in public

Few would feel like a "dumbass" vaping a cigalike in public

We can argue till the 'cows come home' about all the advantages
of e-smoking our power vape machines over the cigalikes ...
However, that makes absolutely no difference to how the public
views these odd size and shapes.

I totally "get it" and understand why MANY feel like a dumbass
or at least reluctant to "whip out" and go to town vaping in public
what many in public have never seen before ... other than in
a Star Wars Bar.

I suggest those who have issues vaping in public should consider
vaping a cigalike in public.

If it doesn't look like a cigarette ... We can't expect the public
to understand that it is an e-cigarette.

By the way ... my main go to vape machine is an eGo with a large battery.
I have a Type A personality and don't care what strangers might think
or say ... HOWEVER, I'm Not Blind !! ... I see the looks the public gives
when I vape something that doesn't even remotely look like a cigarette.
