I carry all my vaping stuff around in my work bag. eliquid bottles, a syringe, a small chefs torch, SS mesh, silica, a set of jewellers screwdrivers, 2 x 18650 batteries, 2x 18490s, 2 x 18350s, packs of cartomisers, a carto-punch, a reel of kanthal, an XTAR charger, a LiPo charger bag, my mod, different sized battery tubes, a cartotank, a Vivi Nova, the Kayfun, a canister of butane, toothpicks.

Man, it would be hilarious if I was stopped and searched by the cops. I would just laugh at them. Has anyone been asked to explain their gear?

Vaping is still a new sport. Advertising is helping people to know what it's all about, but they still stare like you are doing something wrong. Or, maybe they just want to ask but can't find the nerve to do so.

I see people staring in stores when I walk around and vape. I try to do it stealthily but it's obvious when you have a large mod in front of your face. The cops I have vaped in front of don't give me a second look. But then, I'm not a young guy who might fit the profile of an alternative substance user.

2 stops...
Once , it was a provari with a kayfun lite..
Once, it was a Nemesis with an Ithaka.

The provari cop was really cool and asked lots of questions. He thought Blu was about all you could get. His wife hated the Blu. I gave him an Ego battery and a mini vivi Nova and a charger. Also a small bottle of juice and a list of web sites to pass on to his wife.
Nemesis cop wrote me up for an illegal lane change. His wife obviously doesn't smoke.

Maybe you need to carry a throwaway eGo around for cop stops. Sounds like it worked the first time!

At the end of the month, they are looking for quota filling opportunities.

Why do you need to "carry" that much stuff around with you?
Like tonight I'm on a 12 hour night shift, and when I vape the Kayfun dry of the last of the Decadent Vapors Absinthe, I'll want to wash it out, put a new coil/wick in it, fill it with something else. I need my tools with me. My workmates think it's funny when I start tinkering. On Xmas eve I sat at my desk at work and mixed 100ml of Vanilla custard eliquid and they thought it was fascinating as I dripped, and pipetted, and syrigned various liquids into a bottle. Ah that'll be ready to vape next week and I can't wait ;)

Hmm, if you worked for me, I'd say: Vape all you want while working, but..

I'm paying you to work, not to play with your vape toys, so do that on your own time. :glare:

Not at all, I work in IT. we look after a private, nationwide data network, which belongs to a major health care provider in the UK, and look after all the systems and services, which is used by hospitals, doctors, pharmacies, and patients in the UK. It gets really quiet here at night but we have to have someone here 24x7 all year round

I am not the youngster either. I do have a gray beard and hair to match. I waddle a bit - and "straight" only refers to my gender orientation. Yet, I think in the right moment, right circumstances, proper company I could pass as fellow who has no idea what life would be without "alternative substances"!

My daughter-in-law is a physician's assistant, and has a full time day job in a doctor's office. She moonlights on weekends in one of those urgent care AM/PM clinics and they are open until midnight. Many times, the evening will be slow, and no patients will come in. She and her co-worker crochet a lot to pass the time when that happens. Kind of like your job - someone needs to be there if needed, but sometimes, it is really quiet.
