Go outside to vape?

[Gamer]

So do you ever go outside to vape? You remember that alone time you once had. remember the reason to leave the house and get away from the kids?

I am only posting this because right now im posting on my laptop, in 30 degree weather, In the dark, in a poor part of town, outside my work office.

and it hit me... im going to get shot doing this....

ok but seriously, Im out here sitting down listening to the train as it goes by on the tracks with an occasional horn blow and bell ring from the engine, the cars passing buy, the wind as it blows through the air. I haven't done this is a LONG while. Just sit outside and vape, well i use to do it ALOT when i sat outside and smoked. But vaping kinda made going outside pointless. But i found that i kinda missed it. Do yall go outside and just take that time out you use to do?

i havent really had to go outside to smoke for a long time but in the main 3 good parts of the year i might if its not to humid in the summer time but most of the spring summer and fall my wife an i are on our scooters enjoying the ride and being with friends.
well now my post makes no sense at all because i di spend a lot of time out side except for winter time and even then i may wander out into the cool crisp air
good luck figuring out my randomness , i am just ate up with dumba**

I like the fresh air a lot. Vaping outside is great.

I live in San Diego, which answers that question.

I totally agree with you, for me smoking had always been a time to go outside and have a break... sort of have some time for myself to collect my thoughts and relax. I try to replicate that with vaping, but the whole convenience of being able to stay inside is tempting. If you like the therapeutic "smoke breaks" like I do, try not to let them get lost in the convenience of vaping

yep! i go outside to vape all the time but of course the weather is pretty mild here in florida.

I never went outside to smoke (unless I was ALREADY outside) so I'm NOT going outside to Vape! I constantly ask my non-smoking friends/family if my house and truck smell like smoke now and they always say NO!

Great question!

Before, I always went outside to smoke at home and at work... and unless I was in an incredibly smoke friendly place, pretty much I'd always go outside to smoke.

Now, I almost never go outside to vape at home... sure sometimes I go outside and vape but not so much to vape... I live alone in the SF bay area and have a nice deck to go out on.

At work, I almost always go outside... unless its really late and no one is around then I might vape at my desk... and rarely I stealth vape if no one is nearby during regular hours.

Out and about, I generally refrain from vaping while indoors... but next time I'm in an airport I'll be making some clouds of tasty vapor to be sure

Thanks VaporMadness...I didn't even think about when I'm not at home or in my own vehicle! I don't work because I am FT college student...but I have never attempted to Vape in Class! LOL! That would be hilarious if I tried though. I wait until break and go outside near the analog smokers *stinky*

I did vape in a restuarant the other day at lunch though (Tucson is NO SMOKING IN PUBLIC BUILDINGS) and no one said anything, although I did feel a little self-concsious and kind tried to hide it. I have vaped in a couple of bars around town and had no problems, but I always ask first. Applebee's said no, but the other bars didn't care.

I'm with dg99, a 'smoke break' is an excuse to get out & away for a few moments. Plus living in the DPRoC, going outside to 'smoke' has been part of our social conditioning since the late 1980's, so it's kinda part of the ritual.

My wife started vaping in the car... I started fumbling for my lighter to I could light it for her... How else can I show my Chivalry so frequently ;-) offering to charge her battery just doesn't seem so helpful...

At home I've been staying inside. My wife is a non-smoker and she always hated the fact that I smoked. We compromised a few years ago when I told her I would take it outside so that she didn't have to smell it. Anyways since I got the e-cig, she is completely cool with me staying inside since there is no smell and no ash to clean up.

As for away from home, I will likely still go outside and/or to designated smoking areas to vape just to avoid any confrontation. Of course I will probably also sneak a stealth vape from time to time if I'm in a hurry.

Hotels are a different story. I'll vape my ... off in my room!

For the first 2 weeks when I started vaping, I went outside just to keep the same routine I had when I smoked. This helped me stay off analogs but then I found myself going out less and less since I can vape in my office without anyone having a problem with it (everyone accepts my e-cig and are great with it). So now I never go out... because it's very cold in the midwest and it never was fun going out to smoke in the winter. Now I don't have to or even have an urge to.

I do sometimes, but lately it's been too cold. The occasional warm days I do go out, but don't NEED to. It's the not needing to that makes it sort of extra nice.

that last bit could so easily be taken the wrong way.....or maybe it's just me.
it's probably just me. i'm a bit slap happy today.

but back on subject....if it were warmer i would most likely go outside to vape, but since it's currently colder outside than it is in the house i'm kind of inclined to stay inside unless i just have to be out and about.
have yet to see what happens at a restaurant though.

I always go outside in the morning with a cup of coffee. As the day goes on I mostly stay inside, but every few hours will step outside for some fresh air.

I've been vaping outside when at work. Being Canada and all, its not really accepted yet.. My boss told me that it gives the wrong impression inside. I like getting up from my desk and going outside anyway (except when its -15 C out there).

At home I vape inside.

 

[tmbrown327]

Sometimes, so I put yes.

 

[BradSmith]

It is part of my routine although I don't do it as often, it is cold outside. Actually I'm more likely to follow my buds outside and join them in their smoke breaks. Although that is going away too because I have a bunch of them on e-cigs now.

This is a great topic, food for thought.

I think it was one of the huge things I missed about smoking when I quit analogs the first time 5 years ago- the ability to have a "time out" and just re-group.
Being an anxious person, it was great to be able at nearly any moment to just say "I'm going out for a cigg"!

Now that I am VERY lightly smoking analogs again I find myself holing up in my bathroom with the fan on to keep it semi contained because it's FREEZING out here! But if it were nice out, heck yeah, I would be outside! I have a 5 acre farm, I can totally see myself vaping outside when my setup arrives and the weather is nicer.
