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!
