You're probably posing the question to the wrong audience. Most vapers would probably not claim to be anything they consider derogatory, even slightly. Perception might more accurately be determined by non-participating observers.
It's new. It's stylish. It's not exactly "hip" yet. I'd say that's pretty much anti-hipster.

E-cigs are booming right now. They aren't really targeted towards any one group I think. If anything I've noticed that a bit nerdy/dorky people have adopted them early on. Not really hipsters. Hipsters are decadent and self destructive idiots for the most part so I don't think they will adopt them for some time.
I haven't had any negative response to my eVic and it don't look like no cigarette.
I just tell people what it is. Often they listen being mildly interested and gesture some sort of "OK", then waddle off to wherever. Life goes on.
No one has reacted adversely to it so far.

Im pretty unhipster since I dont even know what it means. I thought being hip was a good thing. Man Im starting to feel old! Im pretty rednek and I have some down right out hillbilly friends I got to start vaping so if it makes you feel better you can be in this category.
Sweet, can't wait to tell my kids I'm cool again 
It doesn't really matter to me what other people think about me vaping, it's none of their business. This is what finally got me off the smokes.
Now if I was running around screaming " Look at me Look at me I'm vappinngggg !!!!" blowing it in peoples faces, then they can have an opinion.

Hmm.. I don't think being 50 and always having to wear ACU's counts as being "hipster".. Although.. I must admit, my 35yo Wife Does fit the description, mentally and physically! LOL
Hipster is more of a retro thing. Kids who spend extra $$$ for something their grandparents wore. The funniest thing I've heard about hipsters was how they can spend so much to look so poor. Kind of against the social mainstream concept, like Goth with more colorful makeup.
Hipster?
Ok, I can dig it
;-)
Went and saw "Rain" ( the Beatles trib show) at the civic center,
I was outside at a intermission blowing plumes with my vaPes, got some intriguing looks....
Hipster?
Ya, I can dig it

Who cares what anyone thinks?
I'll take some judgmental douche thinking I'm a "hipster" over lung cancer.

If you're using it to look counter-culture and/or just to be a pretentious douchewad, yeah, you're a hipster.
Otherwise, no.

I'm a bearded dude, 6 ft, 220lbs, construction worker. I haul out my e-schlong and suck it proudly anywhere ! 
Show your friend a Vapor Joe or Phil Busardo video, and ask her if they look like hipsters (or people to tangle with).
It's growing daily, and the best part of it is that most people are genuinely enjoying vaping and NOT SMOKING ! Which means most of us don't give a ra what anyone thinks. She'll come around. Most people I'm around really enjoy the smell of my juices, which means I try to avoid vaping around children. I don't want to entice them ANY.

Them : Hey Bro! This ain't Seattle or Colorado. Put that thing away 'for 5O sees it.
Me : What? My Sonic Screwdriver?
Hipster Doofus' Rule!

If anything, I would say it is the opposite. Everyone thinks these things are kind of nerdy that sees me using my Vector Variable Volt. As for seeing it become more socially acceptable in the future, my guess is that in 10 years you will see more e cig paraphernalia in gas station than traditional tobacco products. Which is good for everyone else, but makes me think that a lot of our precious vendors will become "sell outs". Oh well, no point in over analyzing now. Enjoy a vape!
I got followed by some old crotchety 5 0 the other day. Take it Ken didn't send him the memo.
