A guy just tried to bum a cigarette off of me...

[pesky_human]

And I'm like, "I don't smoke". He saw the huge plumes and thought it was smoke. "How do those work?" He says. Haven't smoked in 5 months and have him the Reo spiel.

Man, these Reos are awesome.

sometimes if they have seen the plumes but not the Reo and ask for a smoke or a light I just say I dont smoke and walk away laughing at the look on their dumbazz face

Being a vaper keeps the smoke-bumming street people off your ... as well. As an example, I was in Lisa's fine city of Bellingham a year ago and pulled into a 7-11. My wife was in the store while I was waiting and vaping outside. One of the locals spotted me and trotted in my direction. "Hey man, you don't have a smoke you can sp......., oh, you're smoking a pipe. sorry, man."
Then he got kind of a S-E-G on his face and said, "You don't have an extra pipe, do you?

hu, that's pretty funny, I never thought of that or ever had it happen

a couple places I almost just wanted to stand up like to address the crowd
" This is called an electronic cigare...."
I could just feel all their sneaky glares...

I always tell people to jump straight to a reo. Give them the website, explain it all. I hope they follow through. But you can only lead a horse to water.

 

[PayleRyder]

I usually tell them it's a e-cig. I hate using that term, but personal vaporizer sounds medicinal to the layman. If they show any sign of interest I usually hand them one of Robert's cards as I explain the quick-n-dirty about it. Although, I'm out of cards so now they just get a xerox'd copy.

One of the directors at my work from another department wanted to be my friend when she needed a smoke. Pretty sure she doesn't even know my name, but she'd pop by my office every one in a while. I knew what that meant. Recently she saw me in the parking lot and came running up asking for a smoke. I said "Sorry, I quit.." and before I could even explain that I was vaping she said "I SAW you blowing smoke". I showed her my Ego and said "e-cigarette". She looked it, kind of sneered at me and said "oh I see" and walked away.

Guess I lost a friend!! LOL

I am tempted by the Reos, but I like switching my flavors up so much, that I'm wondering if it's for me.

 

[Dturp]

Robin you can always drip if you just like a short change up but mostly vape one flavor. Or carry spare bottles so long as the flavors mix well it's quick and easy to swap.

wow...

i hope RHP sees this

 

[SonHouse]

Ah, I have one guy at work that keeps coming up and asking for a light including when I'm on the phone. He gets all bent out of shape when I tell him I don't smoke. I think he's made it his life mission to get a light from me because he keeps trying...

 

[Vapeaddikt]

When I smoked I typically never had an issue giving out a smoke to someone who needed one.

With my REO's....forget about it. Your not touching it

 

[MamaTried]

rarely had this problem. on more than one occasion in my life, i've been told i resemble a serial killer...

Maybe I will dig out my black watch cap tomorrow and post a pic we can compete

LOL. if i can dig up one of my pics from the early 70s, you're on!

back in the day, i used to hitchhike everywhere all over the Bay Area before i finally broke down, got a job and bought my first car. one day, 3 different friends called me to warn me about hitchhiking to Santa Cruz because the papers had plastered police sketches of a ...... who i was apparently a dead ringer for. one of them told me i made Charlie Manson look angelic

nowadays, however, i just resemble a rather grumpy bunny rabbit...

In other news, Indianapolis is the worst city to vape in. They have straight up banned vaping on par with smoking. I thought I was just encountering individual establishment policies, but by the third place I went that warned. Me, the bouncer at that place said it's stupid, but that they have a city ordinance in effect that treats vapor exactly like cigarette smoke. No bueno.

Guess that's one bonus of the D. If you aren't killing someone it's hard to get anyone to look twice. I vape out and about everywhere and have never had anyone say anything unless it was o ask about it. I do vape as stealthily as possible in public though.
