Doing construction renovations, I close my areas off to the public. I vape and allow others to do the same but
I grab a stealth vape here and there. My companies policy is very gray they state no tobacco use and call out smoked and smokeless. In my state eliquid is not considered a tobacco product but im not going to push my luck. I only do it to keep my nic levels up when im stuck at my desk for to long to go outside. Honestly if they knew how much more productive this made me they might consider making it explicity allowed lol. All in all our HR department is run by a bunch of idiots so id rather not open pandoras box... most of their decisions are made via research on Wikipedia, sad for a fortune 1000 company.
I vape whenever I want at work. Lots of other people do, too. No one minds where it where I work (manufacturing shop). I try not to do it close to people that don't smoke though.
Since I'm now self-employed, I vape to my heart's content in my woodshop & basement office.
But I've often thought about how much more productive I would have been at my last 'real' job if I'd been vaping there - and trust me, I would have!

I vape all day at my job just not when the high ups are around which isn't too often. Always have my case with few spare juices a rda, 2 tanks and a extra battery incase.
Hell I even vaped the other day IN the grocery store... Security guard & manager said NOTHING. 
I am in a lot of different offices for my job and mostly stick to stealth. However, recently in my home office I was vaping with the door closed on and off throughout the day. Later a co-worker who knows I vape said someone else said "is someone making pancakes in here?" Reminded me that my go to sweet vapes can give me away!
I'm lucky! Where I work they are so happy I am off analogs (30 year smoker) They are more than happy to allow me to vape in my office. I don't do it while walking around the building.. just my office.. so I am kind of lucky they allow me to do it.
Luckily I work outside (I work at a golf course) so it's never a big issue. If I am inside the Pro shop i'll go to the bathroom and take a few pulls in the stall. Though yesterday my boss saw my vaporisor (he had a huge dip in) and I could tell by the way he talked about it that he didn't like it.
Sent from my iPhone because I'm awesome like that.

I vape discreetly at my desk, but not in the shop.
We don't have an explicit policy, but we do have a pandering a$$hat who thinks it's his personal right to make sure nobody offends him. So, I just steer clear of the problem, and when I feel like it, I have a vape

My job doesn't have a policy against vaping, but does against smoking. I stealth vape often while inside, but try to go outside with my smoking co-workers just so there's no reason to include vaping in with the current smoking policy.
I just try to be smart about it I guess.

I vape in my office all day long. The only time I vape out of my office is when I'm on deadline. I don't vape when I'm talking to a source or a customer cause I'm usually doing a lot of writing. My boss on the other hand vapes everywhere. Between the two of us the entire building smells good. Have had some people ask what type of air freshener the office uses 
The same with me. I work for the Federal Government and although my agency doesn't have an explicit policy about vaping I do know that one is in the works... primarily because a coworker of mine seems to think that it's her god given right to blow clouds everywhere she is. People got concerned and me and a couple of other vapors had to give her the "talk" about being a bit more discreet. She had that teenaged belligerence going pretty good and at first didn't understand that fogging up a common office was intruding on the personal space of others. I don't care if it smells good, some folks just don't want to smell it.
No problem where I work too. As long as it's not done around visitors or in the main office, I tend to just do it in my workshop and sometimes outside if the weather is nice. Although management is very fair about smoking, they would rather they didn't, so tend to support vaping.
Heck yeah!! I am in construction and this makes it pretty easy for me to vape whenever I want to. I don't vape in meeting settings but outside of that, it's wide open. We recently had a memo circulate in email emphasizing the company non smoking policy. I immediately responded to it and asked concerning the company's stance on vaping. I was assured that as long as it does not create disruption, it was ok. Our CEO had his parents taken from him by lung cancer and he is very anti-smoking. He was approached concerning my inquiry and he was so intrigued that he called me personally to ask what this was about. I explained it all to him and how it had worked for me to stop smoking. Now the company policy specifically addresses the use of vaping in all settings of company business. He is pro-vaping now! Glad I asked!

I too have had people comment on the type of candle warmer scent or air freshener they smell. My wife says all my vape juice (except strawberry) smell like maple long-johns from the doughnut shop.
