I'm going to switch to a mod soon and I'm a bit worried that people are going to be annoying , approach me every single time and ask me what is it while I'm only into having a good vape alone without people bothering me.

...

This is Exactly why I like to use an eGo sized PV with a Clearo when I'm out and about.

I have a custom mod that I take when I go out. It looks like a Ruger 357 and when I suck on it, it looks like I am ready to commit suicide. I get a lot of looks but no one asks questions and everyone clears a path. My buddy is the police chief and he gives me a good talking too at least 3 times a month while laughing


I think I need one of those!!

those lil ego starter kit ones...have already been given away to friends...they wheedled a couple out of me, and bought supper or drinks or something and I was all for them quitting, but that's a great idea!! then I'll just point it at them, it's Texas we're all used to that sort of behavior around here *lol*

When I go out I ALWAYS use my Poldiac, Dominus Fecit "Lord's Edition" or Hana V3. I like a good vape and I don't care what other people think. I'm respectful to others when vaping, but couldn't care less about their opinions in favor for or against my vaping habits. Only weak minded people fear the judgment of others!!!

I think this is kinda a Silly Thing to Say.

Some people just Don't Like the Attention that a 18650 Mod topped with a 6ml Tank draws. And would rather not walk around with Something that looks like you are trying to help a 737 Taxi on a Runway.

LOL

Agreed! I was referring to the people who fear the opinions of others and not to the inconvenience of carrying around large mech mod in public.

But I think you Missed it.

Everyone considers the Opinion of Others to some degree. And you are Not Weak Minded in my Opinion if you Don't like Doing Something in Public that Might not "Fit In" or draws Too Much Attention.

Some people just like to Fly Under the Radar.

I didn't miss anything! "fit in", "Starbucks", "IPhone", etc.. Weak minded, sorry to offend you. You let other people live your life...

Didn't Offend me in the Least.

This is a Good Example of Not Caring about the Judgment of Another. So I guess I'm Not Weak Minded. LOL

I Just don't see the Need to lay some Guilt Trip on People saying that they are Weak Minded because they do Not Conform to what you think is Right.

If someone want to Use a Mod in Public, Great. If someone Doesn't want to Use a Mod in Public, that's Great Also.

I have a Black Silver Bullet with a 5ml black PBC bottom coil tank on top. When I goto places I take a few toots before I go in while I'm walking to it. I have had people stop and ask me what it is, and I simply explain it's a vaporizer that helped me to quit Cig's. I have as of yet to get a negative reaction. In fact all the reactions I have gotten is something like "Wow that's great you quit smoking". Some people ask me for more info on it and I tell em. Even if just a stranger realizes there is an alternative to smoking puts a little smile on my face.

Conformity had nothing to do with it, but individuality did... "Do what you like. Like what you do." Life is Good!:)

I live in a smoking town. No one vapes, we have no vape shops. But I use my Reo everywhere I go. I don't use it in stores of course, but I vape in parking lots etc. No one has given me a second look. Actually I was using it one day in a parking lot, an elderly man walked up to me and said, "Thank you!" I figured it had something to do with my mod. Then he just said he was worried about getting looks for wearing a jacket on a warm day, then he saw I did. Again, paid no attention to my mod. If they feel that way here, your safe anywhere!
The Reo is the main mod or not that I've vaped totally comfortably around strangers. (Considerately of course). The little Roller and MICROSTICK too, but the Reo especially. I guess because I have convinced myself others will think it's a juice box.
The coat! I do the same thing sometimes. I have an extremely light weight insulated coat that keeps me completely comfortably cool in the hot sun, as long as both the jacket and I are cool when it's put on. I've seen this tip a few times and just had to give it a whirl, and sure enough, it really does work.
