I don't ever feel awkward when talking about it, sometimes I go out of my way to tell people about it.

Be yourself. People admire that. But even if they didn't, it's still best for you.
I explain to everyone who will listen about them. The public needs to be informed properly.
e-cigs are cool, I proudly use mine when I'm out and about, when people ask me about it I talk their ears off.
If I'm in RS looking for parts, or Walmart looking for vg I really can't be bothered to explain it, I just want to get what I need and get out of there.

Nope, I never feel awkward about it. I always love knowing that there'll be people who will look and go, "What the heck is she smoking?" And I'm happy to explain to anyone who asks - since most of my friends are smokers, they've loved how it smells better/is healthier than theirs.
No way, I flaunt it. Went to a party with it and everyone was flippin out, definitely got a few prospective buyers for a few sites I like to deal with. People older than me get the weirdest faces, like I'm walking around smoking a joint or something. Then if they(people older than me) do ask about it I explain to them and they either say: "Wow you'll get cancer alot quicker with all that weird stuff than normal cigs" or "That's weird....."
I kind of get the feeling that because I'm only 19 they see me as young and naive, thus making the product fraudulent (if that makes sense.) But when people get negative about it I just walk off lol, if they don't want their lives saved, don't save em. That being said, I'm all for promoting e-cigs, but I'm not gonna get into an argument over it. They really are still somewhat of a hidden gem.

i dont care what people think about me .... ill tell them about it ... id be vapin it right in radio shack and when he asked about it ... id tell him
I don't feel awkward about it, at all. As already said, I will go out of my way to talk about it. I am proud that I converted to this, and stand by the fact that I can talk openly about what it really is. I read up on the facts, research any new news about it, and am ready to debate when someone challenges me. I think the true shame would be NOT openly discussing it, and informing people about what it is. I had a coworker who was completely anti-smoking, and quite sarcastic, who, after letting me explain it to him, said "Man, I need to tell my wife about these... I hate smoking, but as far as I'm concerned, I can't say much to you when I'm sucking down a 20 oz. Vault..."
The only way to help people understand, whether at work or at radio shack, is to show them, tell them, and let them see why we do it...

I agree with this for I am 18. Being so young I dont feel that I could do it justice for I would be seen as naive. I hope this makes sense.
Not at all...I tell anyone and everyone that will listen all about it..Sometimes even when someone is just looking at me wondering wht it is I am doing..I will start telling them about it even before they ask! Be proud not shy or guilty about it! Good Luck
I don't mind it myself. But if you're not a person who likes to get in long conversations with strangers, I can see where it might be daunting. It's guaranteed to bring on a conversation and a fair amount of the e-cig smoker speaking and answering questions-- possibly even the kind of thing that ends up including others who happen to be standing nearby. And you never know if people are going to say, "hey what a neat thing", or "that's a load of bullcocky!"So I could see where it would be intimidating for someone who is more shy.
i dont feel awkward at all with it, I just got mine and when i 1st got it i was thinking "ppl are going to think im puffing one of them fake smokes from the novelty shop" lol but that feeling went away quick, i smoke this thing everywhere, had it out at the night clubs this weekend and its a GREAT opener! girls all asking me what it is and wanna try it and stuff haha
