Flaunting is Good

[seminolewind]

With all those restrictions that are enforced or not , or talked about everywhere, bans on use, etc. Flaunting your beautiful PV is not restricted in most cases. I am beginning to see more and more people out in public with their PV, usually an Ego or such with a tank , and just walk along with their PV in hand and not using it. I think everyone should think about carrying their PV in hand whenever possible . I may not vape in Appleby's for example, but I will walk into there, sit, order , and chat with my PV in hand or sitting right there on the table. I carry mine in hand at the mall. I carry mine in hand at social functions, and waiting rooms. Not vaping, just having it out in the open. Positive exposure is good. I think.

I very much agree. Show the world we have nothing to HIDE whether we choose to Vape or abstain depending on the situation.

I'm always flaunting. Even at restaurants where they prohibit vaping, my VTR is out on the table and within view of anyone that looks.

Had a good one last night. I was out in front of the pub having a vape with my Valkyrie (town ordinance prohibits vaping in doors) and a K9 officer came buy on patrol, we greeted each other and I kept on vaping. Having been K9 trained in my LE days I recognized it as a drug dog.

The more visible and above board the better. Acting shady is just enforcing negative public perception.
That does not however mean it's cool to chuck massive clouds into crowds of non vapers.
Once upon a time society encouraged this strange thing called manners.

I use to keep my box with me at all times. I plan on doing it this time as well.

Yup if you have nice ones, show em off. Aplies to mods also.

I love this thread. I wear my PV around my neck on a matching beaded Lanyard when I'm out and about, and put it on the table when I'm in an eating establishment just begging (under my breath) people to ask me about it. I'm never too busy or in too great a hurry to give Vape lessons to all comers. I will however not argue with numbskulls!

I have always openly carried my PVs. While dining, whatever I'm using is resting on the table, next to my phone.

I would think that concealing it would be odd.

I hold mine in my hand. Sometimes I put it in my pocket or in the gap in the seat to hold it securely while driving. Really IDC what anyone thinks. Too old and curmudgeonly.

This reminds me of Open Carry vs Concealed Carry on other forums I visit.

I have no problem openly carrying my lovely little reo. Most of the time I get good responses. The ladies generally say "OHHHHH pretty it's purple". When I'm at work on break I sit it on the table cause it's more comfortable than it being constrained by my tight work pants. As of yet haven't recieved any negative responses maybe due to the fact that it's not what people are expecting when they hear "electronic cigarette"

I don't flaunt anything really that's just not my personality, but I don't have any problem who people carrying there gear around as long as their respectful to others.

The problem is the guys running around blowing giant clouds acting all tough like their doing something illegal openly, it just sets a poor prescient for vaping.

They expect Stephen Dorf with a Blue hanging out of his mouth looking as cool as a cucumber. Watched a movie the other day where he got bumped off about halfway thru the movie. Thought to myself, "That's whatcha get for hawking that crappy e cig." lol.

I usually just carry mine with me. At least in town here. When I first got it I liked showing it off to the people at the speedway gas station close to my house. I know most of them in there so it is nice being able to show them. I love telling people about it lol. I do at times carry it in my pocket though.

Have been vaping over a year and I'm just so proud of it that I want everybody to see my gear whether I'm allowed to vape or not. I dress them up with my fanciest, prettiest, loudest colored tanks and tips I've got when going out, and make sure I'm seen vaping where I'm allowed. Of course, might turn off teenagers seeing a "granny" vaping.

You would probably hear me shout out "You go granny" lol.
