Going to see Slipknot and a couple other bands in July! It's in an outdoor amphitheater, so I don't expect top much hassle. Still... Leaving the Reos at home, and going to take a cheap set up in case I lose it or it gets taken!

That's a good point, if I didn't know definitively a Blu or Mark 10 would get me through the night. And this probably won't be popular but in a the world is ending scenario and no vaping is allowed but smoking is (hard to fathom though) I'd grab a pack of smokes for the night and be back to vaping the next day.

I've got a handful of ego batteries and some Aerotanks I'm going to take with me. I got a bazillion of those things, so I won't be to upset if they get taken.

...and I'll hide one in my shoe next to the plastic flask in my sock! :party:

All I has is Reo's, so it's coming in with me or chilling in the car till I get out. I've taken them out a few times and never had an issue. Not saying I never would but they have been to some seedy places and always make it back home, now my ATM card that's a different story all together. That kind of speaks volumes that I would lose something tied to my bank account before my Reo's. :lol::lol:

An Opera vaper huh, how many people looked at you funny there? I agree with Cosi fan tutte (all women behave the same) in most instances. Was this the case with vaping at the theatre, lots of women crowding an area with tootle puffs and gossip? (No disrespect intended, there coulda been huge clouds blowin;) Honestly, I would have thought this as the last place I would see others vaping.

I actually chewed nic gum, no vapers around, they all smoke.... I'm for a few good days here and have seen only one vaper, a young lady with an ego style, must have been a tourist as I heard her speaking english with her non-vaping BF. Otherwise all restaurant patios are smoking, and with the current gorgeous weather it would be a pitty to go indoors.

Not sure how long the Blu battery lasts, but if it anything like the Mark 10 id also have a charger with me. I swear I charge this stupid thing (Mark 10) 3 times each day at work. Only good part about it, well two things, 1. I can replace my own juice and 2. it is so small it can be used discreetly. Would be great at a concert if the battery wasn't 90 mAh:p

I vaped at a concert somewhere about 2010 I believe...
(I don't really go to many concerts)

There was a lady on the other side of my wife who saw me blow out some vaper.
She asked me to stop because she is allergic to smoke.

I told her it was an electronic cigarette, and that I had exhaled vapor, not smoke.
And then I told her it was the same thing she could see flowing all around the indoor venue.

She really didn't seem to care about anything I had to say about it.

And then I put it away.
But I wanted to punch her nonetheless.

Brainwashing is still a very good tool in the hands of the right people.
And that is why we stand here today.

I find this thread a little amusing. I only go to rock and metal shows. I've done a little of everything at concerts with cops right beside me. I can't imagine someone saying anything about vaping. Here in the Fox in Atlanta smoking isn't allowed except certain areas but that never stops the concert goers. I've only been a vaper at one show Marilyn Manson and I saw quite a bit of fellow vapers. I didn't mean to be sarcastic I swear it's just a very odd concept to me

I went to a venue in the woodlands (p.s the venue is an outdoor with shade above us) and as I was going into the line I was vaping and then I was next to be check or search whatever you wanna call it lol. So I had taken everything out of my pockets and she saw me ejuice and all she said was "medication?" and before I had chance to answer she just said "okay, you're good". I actually thought I was going to be able to vape and I was happy lol. Then came the disappointment as I was walking up the stairs this lady that worked there I suppose supervisor? She asked me who checked me in and I said that lady and she said oh well you have to check that in and get it after the concert. I was kinda upset but then I understand their rules, and as I put it on the table (hana modz DNA 30 with clone tugboat rda) the cops pointed and said that some high tech stuff right there lol.

After the concert, I went to get the ejuice back and as she was pulling it out the back her co worker around 50ish or 60ish was like what's that a ecig? I smoke the real things like back in the day, I gave no response lol

This was exactly what I was afraid of when I showed up at the concert two weekends ago. Im surprised you checked it and got everything back. Horror stories I've heard from concert checkins. I had parked way out back behind the venue and did not want to walk all that way just to put away my mod. Raleigh's Walnut Creek Amp. is all outdoors and allows smoking in the lawn and pavilion areas. I think Raleigh has not cracked down yet on vaping indoors/outdoors and leaves it up to the establishment to allow or not. That will soon change, I know.

I only checked in the ejuice, for some reason they let me keep my hana and I was glad cus sometimes you don't get your stuff back. So you got to vape in the concert then? Yeah the venue I went to, the lawn you could smoke/vape but I rather get seats to watch the concert and have to wait til to vape lol

I too was kind of confused about that. Actually the first time I saw a vaper (when I was still a smoker) was at Buzzfest or maybe it was the Bud Light Weenie Roast as you can imagine my memory would be kind of foggy during those shows. :D

Good to know if I go back to the Woodlands for a show to fill my mod to capacity and leave the juice in the car.

Oh yes, Vape I did! I purchased a lawn ticket to get in and my buddies had VIP tix so they eventually got me to the their seats (Which were corporate box seats with a freakin waitress and front and center right behind the pit). I didn't dare vape here as a lot of hoity toity, no disrespect intended, people were around who I know would have said something. I did venture through the throngs of people in seats behind me and vaped a little but tried to respect those around me. I always walk venues during shows to get a feel for the crowd so I made my way back to the lawn and vaped away, clouds spewing into the open air and people around me thinking I'm blazin. I felt 17 all over again. ~~Sigh~~

It was a great show with multiple stages and a bunch of different artists, the other one I liked a lot was the Rockstar Energy Drink Uproar show. And yeah the staff is pretty thick at the Pavilion which is funny cause it doesn't stop folks from getting pretty wild at those shows.

Never gave it much consideration, myself. The idea of being at a show that isn't already thick with pot smoke is pretty alien to me.

Same here when we went to see Cypress Hill at a bar near here it was nuts, and cops all around guess they just knew it was going to happen one way or another and conceded defeat from the beginning. :lol:

We just called San Manuel Amphitheater to ask if they allowed vaping at their show this sat. (Social Distortion is playing) and they said no! Smoking cigarettes is allowed! They said you could put anything in those. This sucks!
What are we going to do? Bring in cigarettes? We asked and they don't have metal detectors. But if I smuggled one in I don't want my good one to get confiscated. So just smuggle in an ego?
