My manager was the one to get me hooked so he really can't stop me from vaping at my desk

That sounds wonderfull. Smoke free company. I work at a big company. They tried a no smoking on property policy about 10 years ago. Somebody got killed because of this policy which forced you off the property to smoke. Lost millions over that. They immediately changed the policy back, and built outdoor smoking area's right outside the buildings. Right now they don't have an e-cig policy. And I will be a deep stealther, until they have one. So at a desk I do about 10-20 hits per day. And everytime I hit the restroom, unless it stinks in there.

Things will get better as the public accepts that it is a safer alternative to smoking and it won't harm them to inhale the fragrance of the vapor. Being stealthy is a good thing. You don't want to flaunt it and have someone complain.
I just tried a new juice and this is the first time my boss complained about it. It does have a pungent lingering smell but it tastes pretty good. No problem there are plenty of others. I'll put this bottle in my motorcycle saddlebag with the roughstack.
BWB Malty Toffee is the best juice for making a room smell good while at the same time tasting great. That combination is hard to find. It's reassuring when someone gets into your car and talks about how good that stuff smells!
Cool thread.
Well I'm in middle management and work at our corporate office, which is fairly large, about 350 people in our building. Luckily middle management comes with an office, instead of a cubicle farm or out in the "pit" of open desk space as we used to call it when I was a purchasing agent. I stealth vape in my office. My boss is a Sr VP and he knows. In fact he asked me the other day...why do you still go outside? And honestly, I don't want to abuse it. I'm not one to rock the boat. I don't want to piss off the haters and start a ruckus that ends up in HR and ecigs getting them banned in the building. I figure, if there is no policy, and I'm not rubbing it in people's face, then so be it. I'll do it quietly with some discretion so as not to screw it u pfor everyone. So I stealth vape a few hits here and there when nobody is in my office. And when I'm on a conference call, damn right I close the door, and go to town baby. This KBV Cinnamint makes it smell like freshly chewed Big Red in there
But I still go outside to really toot it up when the urge strikes.
And you know, there is the social element to the "smoke hole" out back. Most of my friends, I've met in the smoke hole, and we generally coordinate our trips out back by email or IM. So I may never stop going out with all the folks hitting their stinkies. But since I've started openly vaping in the smokehole, I've converted at least 8 people in that smokehole. And not by being Mr Pushy Super Advocate, but just by answering thier questions and pointing them to ECF when their curiosity gets the best of them and they finally ask...WTF is that thing? I never push though. Nothing worse than a preachy born-again "non smoker" IMO
Anyway, that's my story

I am not only allowed to vape at work, I am encouraged to. One of my co-workers made the switch on my recommendation and my boss said he'd pay me a bonus for anyone else I'm willing to guide in to a good PV.
My boss cares about each and every employee and treats us like family. He's a good guy... and the loss of his father to lung cancer four years ago is still fresh in his mind.

I had a first at work yesterday. Sitting in a looooong meeting, hashing over some details, and coming up on the second hour.... Urgh. I grabbed my ProVape (I carry it with me everywhere) and said "Guys, I'll be back, but I've got to run outside and puff on this thing for a couple of minutes." Loud chorus of "No! We have to get this finished! Just do it in here!" I closed the conference room door, puffed away, answered a few questions, and we got the rest of it handled in time for the next meeting.
I told my boss about my PV when I got it, and explained that it was truly helping me quit smoking. I asked if he would mind if I did it inside, and he was totally cool with it.
I think it is better to be allowed in offices as, it is not harmful to use and it can be easy to let other people know how important to use it. I mean, I have seen several people vap in their offices and there is no harm in doing it.
Like this other people who smoke can quit smoking and start vaping.

supported at my girlfriends work, regular 9 to 5 job with other employees all smokers, we actually just bought two of them some eGos haha!
Probably not allowed, it's corporate. Don't think I would want to. I find I vape more in front of the computer. And when its time for a break, it's nice to get away from my desk and go outside. I eat lunch outside too, weather be dammed and all.. I really like outside as much as possible.
My boss doesn't know I vape. The HR person knows and is really cool about it (she won't smoke around me now!) and my supervisor knows I vape and lets me take sneaky hits off it on the checkouts if we're quiet and there are no customers. Otherwise I either ask if I can go for a cigarette (he's Polish and his English isn't great yet) or just go to the bathroom and vape.
One of the best things is that my militant anti-smoking co-worker tells me that my menthol cartridges make me smell of a sweet shop and she is fascinated that I can vape in the bathroom and canteen and she has no idea that I did it.

I never see my boss, or any other higher ups since I work night shift. My co-workers are cool with me vaping at my desk, and there is one other vaper in the next room, so I vape at my desk all night.
I run an Independent Verizon Wireless store and I vape all day. When customers are in the store it starts a conversation and next thing I know I'm helping save a life (or extend 1 at least). When my boss is in the store he's aware I do it and I just keep the amount of vapor to a minimum out of respect (they are hindi and religious and smoking is not allowed).
I am the office manager for a trucking company. My boss has been totally supportive of my vaping. I sit at my desk with a pass through. Every time one of our smoking drivers comes in he says, "Hey, have you seen that e ciggarette that Tracy has been using?" Then he brags up the fact that I haven't had an analog for over a week. LOL He sees it as a benefit to the company if drivers quit smoking and start vaping.
1. The trucks will stay in better condition. They won't smell like smoke for the next guy that has to get in it. No burn holes in the apulstry.
2. Drivers who switch would be in better health, therfore affecting our insurance rates as a company. Less claims in general would help keep our rates from going up every year.

I vape in the Virginia office for my company (my home office) without a problem (and a couple of coworkers might be switching over as well), but I have to go to the NJ office this week and I can't there (officially, stealth is still a viable option) because of the state indoor ban (that was a lot of parenthesis).
