DO you use your Tank in Public?

[katz-in-boots]

I've become addicted to my tank, but can't imagine using it in public, just wondering whether others do, particularly the ladies.

Although I love what the tank does for my vaping, it is (IMHO) seriously ugly - and this is the small one. I don't seem to attract much attention with my usual e-cigs, but this is so weird looking, I don't plan to use it outside the house.
I wasn't even going to use it in front of my DH, but do because I love using it. DH has studiously ignored it, hasn't made a single comment or given me a 'look'. No doubt he'll say something one day

The other issue is that I worry about how to carry it around, I don't want it to leak in my bag or in the car.


So, tell me, do you use your tank when you go out & about?

I understand what you mean. I do use mine in public (bowling, family gatherings) but not while out to dinner, shopping etc. I purchased a cute sunglass pouch to carry in my purse.

 

[Loveridden]

Not really. The other day I did use it in my car on my box mod. And I used it at the last local meet. But I'm not real comfortable with using them in public yet.

In the car, out at friend's houses, kinda like analogs. I'm not a in-your-face Vaper looking for drama or attention. Although I must admit I have stealth vaped at the movies, a few night clubs, and in the mall while shopping during the holidays. Of course, I have a special ultra-mini PV (size of a carto) for stealth mode which I can totally conceal in my hand including the 3.5 tank.

OMG is all I can say to that! Keeewwwl!

I'm glad you are enjoying your tanks as much as my wife and I are. I am starting to feel more comfortable using it in public. I just ask myself, I use to smoke those nasty sticks in public why not my tank?

My wife has a harder time, and actually attracts for attention to herself trying to be "stealth." She covers the tank with one hand, and uses the other hand to "hide" the battery and push the button.LOL It's so funny.

There is nothing more offensive than the smell of an analog cig. Use your tank with pride!!

Ms. Katz use them in public all the time. Usually have one pv with a wow carto, one with a 2.0ohm dc tank, and another with a 1.5ohm dc tank at all times lately... They're needed...

 

[plantlvr]

I don't, at least not yet. I will be taking it on long drives though. Got a couple coming up next month and am looking forward to it

 

[TheScootness]

I use the 3.5's at home, in the car, or around friends. Just too many questions in public.

 

[blight231]

It's a little " loud " for my tastes . And with the clear drip tip it almost looks like drug paraphanelia At home or in the car though its a different story.

My state doesn't allow vaping in indoor public places, so I have to stealth vape. Haven't been able to figure out a way to do that with a tank, given the enormous vapor produced. A carto, stealth batt and high pg juice works best for me Most often, I'm in my home, my car or with family/friends when I vape but it doesn't bother me at all to walk down a public street, boardwalk or beach with my tank. My vaping doesn't seem to draw the kind of attention I think it will. When it does and someone actually approaches me, it is either out of curiosity(in which case I launch into my spiel and hand out a V4L business card) or by mistake. A lot of outdoor spaces have designated smoking areas now and just as the words "you're not allowed to smoke here" come out, I politely explain what I am really doing and get an immediate pass. Love that!

 

[K9Luvr]

I'd be afraid of the looks I'd get, so I tend to use it at home.

 

[SIC08869]

I have, it does create some curiousity and I find myself having to explain it probably once a day. Of course after the explanation I get, "So its like an IV for nicotine."

I take it with me everywhere and use it shopping, in the car at the movies - but I'm not looking for any attention either, so I just kind of take a hit and put it back in my pocket. I have a few friends that give me a hard time and keep telling me that I never really quit smoking because I have "that thing" with me all the time - but I don't pay any attention to them - not into what other people think too much. If anyone catches me and has the brass to ask me about it - I just tell them it's my "inhaler" and leave it at that.

I do wonder sometimes about why certain people dare to go outside at all, they can really hurt your eyes! but concerning tanks to stay on this subject: anytime, anywhere at any place!, nice to be free and think free!!!

vape free will be my new slogan from now on!!

 

[waylonjessi4ever]

one of the singers in reno walked up with his ego or vgo ( not sure ) and tank and said " oh you have an ecig too ! " first person i ever saw vaping up there and he wasnt worried at all walking thru the club before his gig
Of course i just had my xl 808 diamond .

I was at a car dealership a couple weeks ago vaping with a tank. This salesman asked me if that was an e-cig thing. I said yeah ! He looked at it and said he just wanted nicotine, but not that kind, he wanted 'real' nicotine. As my husband and I walked away, hubs asked me, "Just what kind of nicotine did he think he wanted anyways ?" and we laughed some peoples it wasn't the tank he thought was weird, it was the 'different' nicotine he thought it was ...........

You can't fix stupid.

i rock a 5ml tank on my lavatube anywhere and everywhere, yes i do get looked at funny but then i dont care what people think. if they were curious enough they would ask me what is it im puffing on and i would explain in happy mode!

i vape so much that when im in a store or anywhere else in public i tend to just forget and just puff away. but when i do notice what, or where i am at i make sure that i dont blow vapor in or around peoples faces...

 

[TheBlueAdept]

Yeah, I've forgotten many times where I was and just started vaping in places where I probably shouldn't have (people's homes that I have asked permission yet, in line at grocery store). Strangely enough, while it resulted in some raised eyebrows, never a negative comment.
