Do you vape at work (no stealth mode) ?

[Beans]

crap thats what i thought now if i stealth vape is there a flavor/brand that may be perfered as to not attract attention? im on 2nd shift and i work with 3 other people (2 fellow employ's and 1 formen) i can vape infront of the employes and they dont care and they wont say anything, we have a trust policy between us. my formen however will rat me out in a heart beat. i thought about going with a mint flavor and keeping a pack of mints in my pocket, that way when i come out of the bathroom stall and hes like "whats that smell" i could say "oh, my mints!, want one?" what do you all think? safe? not? it bugs me so much not being able to vape there but at the same time i cant lose my job.

The mints should throw him off just BECAREFULL! I don't wanna see you loose your job either.

Interesting idea actually
In my office nobody smokes, so that would be a problem. I usually vape in the bathroom brakes. The only problem is that theres 1 bathroom per floor and theres alot of people getting in and out of that place all the time, so its hard...

I dont think that would work for me, but as last resort I will just join the the other smokers outside the building

If nothing else 'smoking' with the others outside may get them interested and quit smoking too.

Far too many folks have tried quitting using all the other methods and had poor results. I've tried all but the laterst' designer drugs' (it's always the side effect warnings that make me think 'No way!') For me this is the first thing that's gotten me off analogs and still handle the cravings, as well as fulfilling all the psychological side issues that accompanies cigarettes. (something in the hand, 'smoke' coming out after inhaling deeply, etc.)

It's not worth losing your job over, boss has already made that clear for you.
Jobs are hard to come by lately too.

But I can't imagine too many jobs with worse air quality then the one you have. I worked in a foundry for a very short time many decades ago. The taste of metal was always in the air.

oh yes very strong metal and chemicle smells all day long. i wouldent care so much if it was like hospital, or even wal-mart. but a job where im exposed to much much worse then smoking, and i cant vape?!?! lol this world will never make any sense to me.

Shhh, my office is in a building dedicated to higher education.

I vape openly even when the dean is in my office.

(I do not actually work for the school, but that's a long weird story.)

 

[txbullets]

I step out the door in my office to the smoking area and take a few drags. it is a new job and I am nee to vaping. Coworkers know I do but some might say something so it id easy to step out. Besides it provides me a "smoke" break.

 

[sprag]

I vape at work, sometimes openly and sometimes in stealth mode......

 

[John Thornsbury]

I vape at work all the time...almost 3yrs now. I've also converted 3 others in my office to vapers lol, so we all do. When I'm not in my office of about 20 people I work at auto factories and I have never been stopped from smoking at these however, I've heard that Caterpiller in Lafayette In. now has a no vaping policy on the factory grounds as with cigarettes...not even in the parking lot in your car!!

wooster products (company doing the stair's for the new towers) does not allow vaping anywhere on the property.. it sucks there starting to treat it like smoking!

 

[Logunn]

I stealth vape wherever i go, Ive never seen another person vaping and i dont feel like explaining it

 

[jerryboy]

My boss gave me the green light to vape openly in office
Using a ego VV Passthough in office.
Happy to have just a understanding boss

 

[Paul S]

The owner of my company bans vaping and chewing tobacco in the building because he's never had any such habit, and considers them idiotic.

No, he is not at all empathetic.

He should train to be a quit-smoking telephone counselor! ROFL

I am currently at work vaping as I type. Nobody seems to care since it smells like cake.

So the question is: Do you vape at work (no stealth mode) ?

I have two different working situations over the course of a normal week: On some days, I am in an office suite with two other guys, neither of whom smokes or vapes. However, I have explained and demonstrated vaping to them, and they're fine with it. I try to exercise moderate discretion; but if one of them walks in on me exhaling a cloud of vapor, they'll know that it's not smoke.

Other days, I'm in an office alone, and I vape to my heart's content

I work in an automotive repair shop and can vape while working all I want. The non-smokers enjoy guessing what flavor I've got. Earlier this week I let one guy look for the cookies he smelled for half an hour before I told him it was me(Copper Creek house blend is great, btw). Smoking wasn't that big of a deal anyway, but the boss likes that I'm not stepping outside to smoke all the time. I even converted one of my managers. Sometimes I go outside anyway though. Every once in a while you just need to step away from something and it works much better when you come back.

I carry a revolution around my neck and co-workers always ask me to blow up a toot,then they laugh.

Bunch of old geezers ready for their pensions

P.S.

I take the liberty to call them that because I myself fast approaching that milestone of life

 

[Kim151]

I just recently started and I openly vape at work. So does two other co-workers. We get strange looks from some strangers from time to time but most others don't mind. At least I don't smell like an astray in my office
