Sad to hear he's familiar with "doing" his cousin. You may want to avoid that guy.
Lol!

I get the looks cause I have huge plumes of vape escaping the car every time I have to roll my window down to clear it.

Lol, that happens to me when I'm sitting in my car in the school parking lot (university). I'll fill the car like until it looks like it's on fire, then exit. Sometimes someone will walk past, appalled with mouth agape at the scene
. Then they'll look completely perplexed, since they don't SMELL anything 
(I vape unflavored, 100%VG). Watching the creaky, empty hamster wheel turning in some people's minds is hilarious!
I'm still trying to figure out exactly what it was, but the local vape shop near me had the largest VV mod I have ever seen in my life, by a HUGE margin. The tank on the thing looked like it could hold about 60ml of juice. It had to have been 2 feet tall without the topper, which was another 8 inches in height, and it was nearly as large in diameter as a coke can.
It was supposed to hold stacked 26650 batteries.
I need to go back and find out exactly what that thing was. It looked like a black Tesla VV, but it was larger than an Ehuge.
I really want one, only to see what looks I get with it.

constantly but i invite it i tend to ask them what they are looking at then spark up a conversation about vaping. a lot of smokers are not educated on the matter and just think it's going to have more health issues for long term use. i've gotten a lot of people to convert because of the looks. don't let it bother you the majority of them are too "cool" to try vaping cuz its "gay" i just laugh at those ones and say continue to smell like an ashtray and build up tar in your lungs and i'll enjoy my wonderful tasting non smelling (well bad smelling) e-cig. use it as motivation to open the publics eye towards the vaping community
The way smoking is now viewed I used to get funny looks when I was smoking...Like I can't believe she still smoking cigarettes! I really don't care now...all I know is I feel better , look better and smell better!
I get strange looks all the time. I pay others no mind.

I once was pulled over while sub-ohming, I saw the cop with a huge smile coming to my completely fogged car, but once I rolled the windows he could just smell peach, that smile went off and just asked for my drivers license and let me go.
I think he was happy because he was about to make an arrest! jejeje

I used to be a punk rocker in my ever so slightly younger days complete with multi coloured mohican so the odd stare when I use my PV is water off a ducks back.Bring out bigger & shinier pvs I say ,stick a wig on your clearo,give the blighters a good reason to stare ,damn starey people...who do they think they are????!!!
My boss banned on the job vaping because too many people kept asking him why we where smoking an illegal product in the store. I still steal a puff every now and then =)
Its the Vape Hatters... They don't understand what your doing and all they see is some sort of white cloud coming out of your mouth... Its like when my parents used to give me crap for listening to Hair Metal bands in the early 80's... they just didn't get it... Its like when my kid listens to Miley Cyrus or some other no talent crap... I DON'T GET IT...
Lol! Same here its funny you should say that because denton has at least 8-9 vape shops I cant walk three steps without seeing someone with a vision spinner or mvp. Why they still think its illegal paraphernalia is beyond me.
I have a lot of really small town around me and when i drive through the local police give me a funny look
So far none have pulled me over to check
Im looking forward to it lolWont they be surprised lol

I can understand folks staring. Up until I got my first ecig (ego650 and carto tank) 9mo ago. My only knowledge of them was from researching cig-a likes as a stop smoking tool. I had never been exposed to one. So, yeah, I probably would have stared at someone vaping. Especially if they were cloud chasing and using a huge mod.
Things that are abnormal just draw stares of curiosity or even disgust. People, by nature, are paniky and suspicious of things they don't know. Educating ignorance is part of anything new and ecigs are new to a majority of people.

I've gotten a few strange looks of what appeared to be curiosity but not much else. Though a coworker of mine saw my mod and was surprised to find out that I vape. He then removed several mods from his locker and started showing them to me, which was awesome.
I spend most of my time away from other folks; one of the perks of retirement, a horse, and a lot of trails. The other riders don't even notice (staring at my big Friesian). Noticed at the gun range, I got a LOT of ... looks from the men in my age group, but none of em worked it up to ask me about it, being as you don't approach a lady with a rack of handguns waiting to shoot if you're smart. The younger crowd, though, asked freely about both my guns and my ecig gear n juice. Vaping is a substantial cultural shift no matter how you shake it, and as with any big change, some folks will kneejerk on you because they don't understand, or need to disapprove of anything they themselves do not already do. Some folks will be open to new things, and happy to find out more about them.
The oddest looks I get are from other drivers on the road, usually at a stoplight. They peer at me, with that "how can she be doing something that is legal if I don't know what it is?" look on their faces.
That being said, I follow the same basic rules of etiquette I always did as a smoker; I don't just whip it out and start puffing in a crowd, give those not doing what I am some space to do their own thing without being in their face.
Hoping as vaping takes off, that we will find the same kind of bond in passing, as the "smoking circle" of instant ciggie friends. Met some pretty cool folks in my 33 years behind the ciggy ...., with only our smoking in common. Airports, bars, outdoor events. Looking forward to meeting new folks who I don't immediately case as potential lighter thieves in those situations =)

Same with me I failed miserably about 5 years ago with a cig-alike glad I gave it a second shot now and bought good equipment plus my brother hooked me up with some decent stuff to start and advised me on what would be good start up equipment to buy.
Lol... I get asked all the time about mine... In two months, the smoking group at my job has slowly been converting... I was #3
While many haven't stopped analog all together, everyone has commented about smoking less and less as time goes on... It's become a Social thing as much as anything.. Few heavy smokers have been hacking a bit, ie their lungs slowly clearing up... As more talk about smoking less, and breathing being better, while slow, is getting others to try it out.
Most are IT folks, so the gadget aspect also appeals
