Did you ever had a problem vaping in a movie theater?

So, in other words, sitting in the front row during a popular showing while blowing huge clouds of 100% VG from sub-ohming at 15 watts is no good?
If it's a movie like "A Good Day To Die Hard" you're okay. You couldn't make that viewing experience worse.
Some of us as ex-smokers, Couldn't stay in a movie without needing to go outside for a smoke. I'm sorry this is so shocking to you but everyone is addicted on different levels. While 3 hours may not be hard for you, 30 minutes may be hard for somebody else.

#VapingSince-July5th2013
I go to midweek matinees when I go to the movies. The last one was the Hobbit. Myself, my son, and one other person 8 rows in front of us. And yes I stealth vaped through it as I do the others I go to. My son didn't even know I was doing it, much less the guy 8 rows in front of us.
I've never had a problem, but I avoid crowded theater times because I just don't like crowds.

IMHO, this whole thread can be summarized thusly:
Don't do things in a movie theater that detract from other people's movie viewing. This includes, but isn't limited to, making noise or disturbing someone else's view of the movie. This pretty reasonably includes blowing massive clouds of vapor that disturb the film projection or just being publicly obnoxious about it, even if it doesn't directly interfere with projection. Being obnoxious isn't vaping specific.
If whatever you do in a movie theater doesn't detract from someone else's viewing of the movie because they can't see it or hear it or smell it, then they really don't have any grounds to complain and there should be no reason you can't do it if you want.
"Stealth vaping" as defined by using a vaporizing device in such a way that it doesn't create bright lights or clouds of vapor pretty easily falls into the category of "doesn't detract from someone else's viewing of the movie" -- BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW IT'S EVEN HAPPENING.
I just don't think you can make some kind of moral argument out of stealth vaping in a theater if your technique is truly stealthy. Is it some technical violation of the theater policy? Probably, but so what? Is there some chance that some eagle-eyed busybody will think you're "up to something" -- maybe, but why worry about that? Those kinds of people are opposed to everything they don't want other people doing anyway, and you won't change their minds no matter what. They're already against vaping even when they don't even know what vaping is (I don't mean just technical ignorance, either) -- they aren't going to run home and call their congressman and say "ZOMG! I was totally pro-vaping until someone vaped in the theater and now I want them all thrown in Gitmo!!" They're probably against dancing and anything more than the missionary position for pro-creation, too.

I don't know if you saw my earlier post, but that situation is actually not that far off of a situation that happened in my state. A lot of people don't care about vaping until it pisses them personally off.
I go to the movies pretty frequently, and I always sit in the last row anyway. I bring my mech mod (which emits no light) and try to be as discreet as possible. Even though I love to vape while watching a movie (especially a longer one), I do not want to ruin anyones movie warching experience or what have you.. just gotta be low key with it.
Yeah, but we're talking STEALTH vaping. Vaping is by and large odorless. So if you're not doing something people can see, such as holding a large, glowing wand and/or emitting clouds of vapor, how does someone know you're vaping? And if they don't know you're vaping, how do they know enough to dislike vaping? What they don't see they can't be bothered by, and which means they can't form anti-vaping opinions, either.
I would generally agree that puffing clouds in a theater is a bad idea, but so is using your phone, making a bunch of noise by talking or opening candy, etc.
Thing that still gets me about this topic and pretty much all topics about indoor vaping is that I have experience of vaping around non-vapers (who detest smoking) and then periodically gleaning information from them about their thoughts of someone vaping in front of them.
I posted one of those on this thread, where non-vaper found it absolutely non-offensive to see someone vaping in a movie theater, who was not stealthy about the process. Was playing cards with fellas last night and brought up the issue again with one of them, and before I got to whatever diatribe I was ready to express, he was like, there is no problem to be had as it is odorless and dissipates so quickly. I've vaped in an enclosed space over 20 times with this person, and at least 8 other people. 20 times. And they are all in camp of absolutely not offensive.
But here on these sort of threads, we get to make comments with each other along lines of, 'well it could be offensive if you are blowing clouds or using a particular flavor.' I blow clouds periodically, they dissipate really fast. I use a whole lot of variety of flavors. People still report it as odorless. And yet, even vapers are perpetuating this idea that in a really large room, like that of a movie theater, there could somehow, magically, be clouds hanging in the air, with a very distinct and plausibly nasty odor, or at very least unwanted odor. From one or two vapers! Seriously, that's mostly what we are talking about in this thread. And wondering just how big of a deal it could be.
Really does boggle my mind that we are somehow at this point of public nuisance especially when feedbacks I receive come nowhere even remotely close to nuisance.

My son is a server in a theater (dinner/movie type). I asked him what their policy was, he had not been instructed either way, but if someone complained you would be asked to stop, if you continued you would be ejected. Basically, the same policy as talking, phone use, etc.. Im guessing, if a server saw you blowing clouds, you would be asked to stop regardless of someone complaining.
In other words, at this point, it is more of a consideration issue. Ive never seen a specific ban being posted, nor is it illegal in the state (e.g. at least in texas it is not). Personally, I might take 2-3 hits during a movie, but very stealth and only if the movie is not crowded

Wow. Amazing to see that some people are so selfish with their habits that they'll even defend vaping in a crowded theater. To hell with everyone else, I needs me my nic fix! Bah.
If you're so self-involved and weak willed that you can't even sit through a movie without satisfying your addiction then you probably shouldn't leave the house.

Isn't it great to be vaping the only correct way? Not only that, but you can tell the entirety of a person's character that you can make sweeping, blanket assessments about their entire personality. I think that sort of snap-judgement is always spot-on.
It takes a big, macho-man to talk down to people who make different choices.
I would be interested to see you make such comments to someone's face. I bet you have never, ever done anything remotely like that to another grown man in person. But you are a real tough guy on an internet forum, aren't you?
I don't get why it even has to be spun this way.
Could say the same thing about vaping in general. As in, you are selfish to vape at all anywhere. You are very self involved and weak if you can't go through life without satisfying your addiction. If this is the case with you, you probably shouldn't leave the house.
Then I could say same thing about eating hot buttered popcorn in a movie theater. Those people are selfish. Stinking up the joint. Distracting me from my movie pleasure experience. Gobble gobble gobble. Hey, is that 64 oz. bucket of popcorn going to be enough for this 1 and half hour film? No, you need a second bucket? Okay, way to look out for yourself!
I personally got kicked out of our local theater on the opening night of the newest hunger games movie because I tried to stealth vape with my solution to subohm mods - [moderated] - works fine with a 100 ohm coil
