I was wondering if you had the guts to vape at a restaurant or mall or where ever, or would it just not be worth it because of the dirty looks and assumptions? I'm thinking of taking a few crafty vapes in the movies.
Do you vape in public?

Havnt vaped in any place that doesnt allow normal cigs, for some reason israel thinks vaping devices are the same as cigs. While making packs of cigs cost 10 $.go figure. but other then that, sure! In the 2 days I had a dissposable one, I vaped at parks, at the streets etc.

HelloI was wondering if you had the guts to vape at a restaurant or mall or where ever, or would it just not be worth it because of the dirty looks and assumptions? I'm thinking of taking a few crafty vapes in the movies.
Yeah I've vaped in a few public places. Now days I try to wait until I am outside. Go ahead an sneak a few puffs in a theater. Last time I went to the movies with my cousin she was going to light up a cigarette in the movie theater. Washington state is very much anti cigarettes. She swore she does it all the time, and slapped the crap out of her. I payed to watch that movie and was not going to get kicked out! Too bad e cigarettes weren't around then 
I'm still new to vaping but I think I would be hesitant to do it in public. I do it at work at my desk but I work the overnight shift and it's pretty deserted here. I think it would be good for more of us to do so that it becomes more socially acceptable though.
You go first!

Yup. Never give it much thought either. It is nobody's business what I'm doing. I'll be courteous though and not blow clouds towards people or "cloud chase" in small places.
Movies... as long as it doesn't interfere with other peoples view of the movie I see nothing wrong.

Yes! The older you get the less you care about dirty looks and what people think. However, I do not vape where smoking is prohibited.

Depends what you mean by public I suppose.
I take mine where ever I go but I do not vape where smoking is not allowed.
Just seems polite to me (yeah, I know, Old School)

I do, but the scene has to be just right. Open spaces, never when my could possible disturb someone, and things like that. Me personally, I can't stand for people to blow there vape in my face. Just because its not going to hurt me doesn't mean I won't punch you in the kneecaps.
In open areas, never inside. Still a lot of ignorance and misinformation circulating about vaping. Perhaps the best example is where I work;
smoking not allowed on premises anymore, but I vape in open areas there.
When asked, I say "It ain't tobacco, so it ain't smoking."

I never vape in public places that don't allow smoking. I do ask EVERY bar or lounge that I go to if it's ok. Surprisingly ALOT of them say it's cool. I'm just too old to get in a confrontation about my electric cigarette. I'd hate to have to go inside someone's mouth because they talked to me crazy over smoking an e-cigarette.
Typically I don't, but when I do, I don't really make a big scene of it. The only places I do it are bars and airports during layovers.
I vape every where that I choose. I refuse to allow the government dictate my freedom I have the free will to make my own decisions so I freely vape in public places but not privately owned establishments that don't allow it but in public places absolutely
I understand the whole "vape where you like" philosophy, but I think in the short term it may not be beneficial. Right now the ecig industry is exploding, and as a result falling under the watchful eye of the government. There is a lot of misinformation out there. Brazen vaping is a sure fire way to get vaping banned wherever cigs are banned, which is nearly everywhere. A ban like that would also mean no vaping in vape shops. I think respectful vaping while we wait for more doctors and scientists to preach the benefits could lead to private companies being allowed to make the decision on whether to allow vaping or not. Remember, the initial reason behind smoking bans was a bogus EPA report about the dangers of secondhand smoke. Let's not let bogus information be the demise of something else that we all enjoy doing.
I am confused. Is it public vaping, or misinformation that is the threat? I guess it could be both.
I hear this all the time. So I have a question for you, if you don't mind. If vaping in public will get vaping in public banned...then who cares? If its gonna be banned if we do it, or will remain legal only if we never do it, why not just enjoy it while we can?
I am not talking about being a jerk about it. I just mean vaping in a park, or playing miniature golf, or in a bar, or whatever situation the owner of the property is amenable to. I say, enjoy the moment.
I have to agree with Ravensfan for the most part. I am not aloud to vape inside at work, but I do vape discreetly (stealth) while shopping, in restrooms,and restaurants, being careful not to blow clouds. But outside I let it fly!
It is both that are a threat, and I'm not saying don't vape in public forever, just until more real information is made public, and businesses can make educated decisions about if they choose to allow it. I'm also not talking about parks or any public place where smoking is still allowed. I'm talking about brazenly strolling through Target or the mall and vaping. Some businesses have already made the decision to restrict vaping to designated smoking areas. I took a Carnival cruise last month, and they had ecig restrictions printed on the ticket.
When smoking was first banned there were a lot of bars and restaurants that wanted to continue to allow it, but the government told them they couldn't. As ecig use continues to grow by leaps and bounds, there may be a lot of establishments that want to allow it, maybe even cater to it. I'm just saying to give that a chance to happen.
If I'm outside in a public place I'll vape. If I'm at a bar I'll ask first to make sure I'm allowed to use them.
Restaurants I just don't bother, I'll go join the smokers if I need to vape.
