Just a follow up to this - if you type in Business Cards in the CASAA's google search, you'll find a link to their downloadable business cards. It comes out in Word format - has a front & back.
The front is all about CASAA (which is fine) but the back has a nice 'What is an electronic cigarette?" description.
Food for thought - could print your own cards - using whatever front/face you'd like and use this or a similar back. Uses a standard Avery (or similar) template.
Contents of back:
What is an electronic cigarette?
(AKA Personal Vaporizer)
Replacement for tobacco cigarettes
Completely smoke-free nothing is burned
Delivers optional vaporized nicotine
Mist from propylene glycol (fog machines)
No tar, no carbon monoxide, no particles
No air pollution
No harm found in mist
I do the same thing, but I've gone a bit further. You can get Avery return address labels, which are 80 to a sheet and about a half inch by two inches. I printed out a few sheets of these with "best and largest e-cig forum:" followed by www dot e-cigarette-forum dot com on the second line. One label to a business card.
ECF also offers business cards for free. All you pay is $3 shipping if you are in the US.
They allow you to get 50 free business cards per a month and they are very cool looking. I plan to order some soon.

I had one girl at work ask me for a light. She got mad when I explained that my Reo Grand wasn't a cigarette and that I didn't have a lighter. She then asked me for a light a couple days later and copped an attitude when I said my vaporizer doesn't produce flame.
My boat was avoiding Hurricane Irene so we moored up downtown Savannah, GA. We were on Bravo-2 status (meaning we have to be ready to go in an hour) so none of us could drink. Instead we got to sit there watching every other person in Savannah drink. I was people watching outside my boat, vaping away, I must have gotten asked at least 10 times for a light. After I'd say no I'd have to explain why I didn't have one to a drunk person, was a bit frustrating. I think I was just jealous, though.
I too get a lot of people asking for a spare cigarette, though now I'm kind of pleased to not have to lie when I tell them I don't. Though once or twice the person asking seemed to just know enough English to ask, which made me feel awkward, given my answer.
I also get a surprising number of people that assume that my PV is some kind of ... delivery device. One day a cute gal selling cookies on campus came up and said suggestively "heeey, i know what that is. these will go really good with that."

I haven't been asked for a light , but I still carry a lighter all the time. Fire does come in handy sometimes!
I've worn holes in the zippo pocket of my jeans, carried that lighter for 25 years. It kinda feels weird without it.
I'm not completely off the cigs yet, though I've cut way back.
I'm pretty sure I'll continue carrying a lighter after I'm a non smoker. I've used a lighter as a mini flashlight a whole bunch of times, and I just don't see any downside to continuing to carry one.

I'll second that. 'Duel' gave new meaning to the word "bad", eclipsed only by 'Killdozer' and 'Christine'.
Yeah. The corsets are laced-up a bit too tight around here.
I've been asked for a light and a cig a few times. I just say, "Sorry. Don't smoke", and keep moving. No point in getting into a conversation about it.
Only rarely have I been subjected to the "Duuuuuuude!" routine.
I get people at work asking for a light.
When i say i don't have one,they ask how i lit mine.
I use a Volcano inferno,waayyy bigger than a cigg and it's stainless color. (how could they think it a smoke?)
So i tell em about it..and most ask "well how do you light it then?..is the flame inside?"
Arrggg a card would help.

You can get the free ECF business cards (you only pay shipping; I think it's $3.00). http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/ecf-merchandise/113637-free-ecf-business-cards.html
It's only happened to me once. Some guy stopped me on my way back from work and asked for a light. I didn't have one so I just shook my head and said no. He gave me this look, I can only really liken it to the way you'd see someone look at you if your face suddenly turned inside out and they discovered you were really made of metal.
It was a little awkward and I wondered what this guy's problem was, when I remembered I had my volt in my mouth and I'm totally just puffing away on it this whole time. I took it out of my mouth and just said, it's not real. He just went, "oh" and walked off looking for someone else to get a light from.
I was glad though, because then people assume my volt is real when they see me, whereas if I use my egos the police constantly hound me thinking it's for something else. I'd sooner be asked for a light than be asked to "bend over the hood son".

Heh, I get asked for a light all the time, mostly because I vape in smoking areas. People see the bright orange PV in my hand, think it's a lighter and get miffed when I say I don't have one. I even got one guy cuss me out because he thought I was withholding a lighter from him.
