Anyone ever want to just vape in peace at times?

I'm typically always up for talking to people about vaping when they ask me what it is that I'm doing. Lately though sometimes I just get a little irritated when people ask me what I'm doing followed with the common jokes about it being "something else" that I'm doing or comments like "you should see what happens if you put water in it". I understand that a ego battery with a kanger protank can look odd and will bring attention to me, spark conversations, etc, which I'm fine with for the most part. I guess any opportunity to educate people about vaping is something that I should embrace, but comments like these have just been getting a little old lately, especially when it looks like I'm in no mood to chat at the moment.

I can see where you would get irritated. I just don't like it when smokers see me vape and say "you know they don't know what the long term effects of that are". I usually reply with "but they know what they are for what you're smoking. I'll take my chances".

For the jokers who hint at you doing something illegal, just stare at them as you vape and don't even smile. If they insist just calmly tell them "I don't know what you're talking about" and keep looking at their face. That'll be like throwing a bucket of cold water over them.

It sounds like you need some private time for yourself.

Well, I'm sure that part of this was that Mondays are the worst day by far at my job. Not the typical oh it's Monday I don't want to be here either, but the "What in the world did I do in a past life to deserve this kind of day" Mondays. You're probably right about some private time, I'm well over due for a vacation.

I have yet to have anyone come up to me and ask an annoying question or make a snide comment or otherwise accost me *knock on wood*. That being said, I do enjoy just being left to my own devices and not having to worry about any of those above things like when I'm out in "the wild". Just sitting alone somewhere outside that's quiet and serene, happily vaping away without interruption or distraction...now that's vape-vana.

You must be in IT. Am I right?

So far I have only had one person ask me if it was working to keep me off cigs. Other than that, just a couple rubber necks.
