Cant vape at work?! Even on brake?!

[Credo]

That sucks, you could always use the stealth method.

Keep a low profile. Use it away from other people. Puff in the corner or in the bathroom. vape over a cup of coffee, into a straw, etc.

One thing that works for me when I really should not vape at all (like on a really strict air-line), is to put a few drops of the e-liquid into my drink.

Another good stealth tactic, is to get a cup of coffee, and take a drag, then exhale as you take a drink. Looks like steam from your coffee cup doh too slow, what credo said hehe

Build a mini box mod or buy one. I could stealth vape in front of my supervisor while I was working with mine. If that doesn't work piss on his car tires.

I've had folks tell me that my vapor smells just like tobacco........ (grrrrr)

My husband and I both LOVE vaping, but I gotta tell you, he has a juice or 2 that I just can't stand the smell of!! It's pungent and awful! We stealth vape once in awhile, but he's got to be careful not to do it with a stinky juice. I've stealth vaped in a bar/restaurant and not even the people I was with noticed! I just inhaled deep and exhaled slowly into my napkin.

Unfortunately it's going to take forever for the self-righteous judgementalists to step down off their platforms long enough to educate themselves about the differences between vaping and smoking. As of yet, those types of arrogant people can not celebrate for us, because they are too hooked up on bashing us. Once they understand that the eCig is a tool towards zero nicotine addiction for many, and zero tar and toxins for everyone, maybe they'll move on towards facing their own addictions in the mirror, such as criticizing, arrogance, salt, caffeine, sex, love, religion, shopping, eating, anorexia, busy body, procrastinating, ... oh the list does go on. Everyone is addicted to something, at some point in their life, even if it's just being addicted to attacking those who are helping themselves to a healthier lifestyle. Hang in there, educate, and send positive thoughts their way so that they too may one day be free from their personal battles.

VERY well said. I guess we have to remember that it took a long time for people to feel free to criticize smokers (it used to be SO cool!) It's going to take awhile, and a lot of education, for them to accept vaping. They'll come around, probably after the gov't figures out how to tax the crap out of anything associated with vaping.

They cant free themselves if they dont realise it...we assume ourselves,they are perfect.

Nah, that's when we get out the pepper spray.

Two words....stealth vape.

I told one supervisor it's not actual smoke just mist from my vaporizer. I told her it repairs my lungs from years of smoking.

I think this is the best response I've heard!

first off i wanna say that i just started this job monday, its a no smoking factory. Im in through a temp service and i was told by them that i cant smoke there so i automatically thought that it would be fine for me to smoke my vape there. It was going fine for the first three days, people at my job asked me about it and were really curious so i told them the advantages of using one. the smokers seemed to like it and i actually convinced a few to buy one, and some really didnt like it but didnt care i used one. then today after one of my breaks my supervisor ask me if im the one with the electronic cigarette and i said yeah and he told me i couldnt use it. said that you cant smoke or fake smoke at all at the factory, or chew but people even my line supervisor chew. its no smoking facility not a no tobacco use factory. so im gonna ask him why tomorrow. i dont really want to press it though cause i want to get the job, i really like it. but hopefully he will see that its just steam. someone was probably just hating cause they didnt have it and couldnt smoke their analogs so they told on me. oh well, im 3 days now with no analogs and cant wait till my kgo comes in so i can get rid of these annoying blu's.

Just Curious.

Did you Only vape at Break Time and in Smoking Areas? Or did you vape at other times and not in a Smoking Areas.

The reason I ask is I haven't read many threads where companies have not allowed employees to vape on Break Times in Smoking Smoking Areas.

Two words....

They are less common but do exist. The hospital where I work prn has a tobacco free campus policy, which includes e cigs. Which means the only time I am allowed to vape is on my 30 minute lunch when I can leave the campus. We are not allowed to leave campus for our breaks.

Of course this is in theory, because I work in a room behind a closed door and the 2 people who I work with do not care if I vape. When I had to go in for an all day class I vaped in the bathroom. Screw them, I will vape wherever I have to to get away with it. They probably thought I had a UTI though I was going to pee so much.

If the going looks rough I just called it my "nicotine inhaler, for quitting cigarettes".
Who could possibly fault you for that? And if they did they'd look like a heartless ......

 

[Off Topic]

If you could get your Dr. to prescribe it to you, you could call it a medically required device.... not sure if it would fly, but it might...

 

[Forkeh]

Can't vape at work...Yea, right

Before I retired...the company I worked for came up with this idiot policy.
They knew vaping was not harmful...But they just didn't even want the
"appearance of smoking" at work. Anything tied to tobacco or would even
remind someone of tobacco...they were opposed to it.

They told me no more vaping at work
I replied OK...Ya see, I don't argue with idiots.
Then I went to stealth and the bathroom was my favorite place to go on breaks

Separate from vaping...The company had so many BS rules that 1 day I announced
I quit and taking early retirement. They asked me when am I leaving? I told them
"Yesterday was my last day...I'm leaving NOW"...The boss replied...You just can't
quit on the spot and walk out...I replied watch...The last your going to see of me
is the bottom of these hush puppies walking out the door....BYE and left.

Well, actually...the last thing they probably remember was my fist in the air
with 1 extended finger !!! 8-o

It's better to just go along-don't try to stealth vape etc, cause chances are someone is gonna see something, smell something and run to the boss. Its hard enough for most of us to even get a job these days, and I see u r there with a temp agency. I know where I work, we have new people coming in all the time thru the temp agency, and since u like this job, its better for u to just go along....just sayin'. theres other ways to get your nic. I know a lot of people say just to try to convince etc, but theres always gonna be someone thats gonna nip that in the bud, it sucks but thats the way it seems to be
