Anyone old man or not even tries to touch me in public is going to get a rude surprise. As for the "advice" a lot of people need to learn how to mind there own business before it gets them in trouble...

The one time someone asked me to not smoke (by the entrance's door of a small Chineses carryout restuarant while waiting for my order) by another customer, I politely replied that I was not smoking, and what he saw was not smoke, but water vapor. He appologized, but I put my PV away out of respect.
I think it would be rude and ignorant of people assuming that my Provari is an illegal object and what I am doing is illegal, not that it has happened. More than anything, people are curious and will begin a conversation asking what it is.
But the majority of the time, people do not appear to pay any attention and I vape very openly.

that's not a false report if the person genuinely believed a crime was being committed. Anyway why would you want to hurt somebody for trying to help you?StereoDreamer:9453823 said:
LOL, ask my hubby, aka "Commie" what happened one time when he tapped me on the shoulder by surprise. I almost clocked him in the face with my elbow, lol. Your a bigger person then I am, because it would have ticked me off. There will always be ignorant people out there. I'm just waiting for someone to say something to me. Especially if I'm having a bad day, lol.
They are not trying to help you they are making them selves feel better by showing you how much more superior to you they are in a public situation.
I disagree. the guy looks young, and the other guys an elder. I was brought up where you respect your elders just because theyre older and have wisdom to impart...even if theyre being jerks, which I dont think the guy was being, he was telling a young man not to do what it looked like he was doing. Older people are just more rude, but they get to be that way for making it there. Most older folks nowadays, who are just the right ones with the experience to tell the younger folks whats right and wrong and give guidance, are afraid to ever say anything and young folks dont learn any respect for themselves or others and grow up to become maladapted adults who have an over inflated sense of entitlement. I appreciated that old folks were constantly sticking thier nose in my business growing up, and now that Im in my 30's I can look back and say I should have listened alot more... just because I didnt know what they were talking about didnt mean they didnt know what they were talking about...know what Im talking about?
Buy the Provari....when you get it you will think "why did I wait so long?" Do you drip? If so try a HH357 atty,,,yes they are that good...get a 3.0 ohm one if you buy the Provari...
God forbid if someone were a MASSIVE epileptic and receiving their medication.
God forbid if someone has debilitating MS and they are medicating so they can have 10 clean minutes.
God forbid if someone needs an anti-emetic because the chemo and cancer have them so sick they can't eat/keep food down.
It's not all about getting your nicotine, although I DO realize where I am, and the forums strict rules, and why those rules are that way.
You are going to have to share this world with a big, bad scary thing that uses PV's similar to yours.
This isn't the 70's...get with it or get rolled over.

sounds a bit creepy uncle, and way too self righteous for my taste. that individual would have had his eardrums shattered if he/she ever had the nerve to say anything like that to me. as others have stated, the golden rule to live by is mind your own business unless it involves a felony. don't let old frightened white people like me take a dump in your drinking water. and certainly do not try to hide your legal activities in public. no brainer. vape on
I'm in my 60s, but I wear my hair long and have a beard. I don't look disreputable or like a homeless person. One day I was in the park, reading a book and taking an occasional hit off my vape. One younger fellow had already stopped and asked me about my e-cig. Then a couple with two small children passed by. I looked up to see them give me a *hard* look, and I thought, "What...?" Then I realized what their assumption was, that I was doing something that is quasi-legal in California but not in a public place (though people do, all the time). As they hustled their kids away I wished I'd been quick enough to explain, but it's all in a day's vaping. I was sitting by myself and not bothering anyone, but I vape in public pretty openly, trying always to be respectful of others. I have only gotten that kind of negative response a couple times. People are far more likely to be open and curious, and I'm always glad for the conversations it starts.
Yesterday an acquaintance passed by my gate and we talked for a while. After a few minutes I took a puff and he asked me what it was. He showed immediate interest because he's a smoker. I ended up asking him in for coffee, and I took a spare battery and filled a clearo and lent it to him while he was there. He absolutely loved it, and told me he'll definitely be buying one.
As for the "other" type of PV, yes they exist and yes, they look similar. Not my business, and definitely not my problem.

i grew up old school. smacked in the back of the head by old timers when i screwed up.
it's not so much old timers are rude.
there's just no time left for {MODERATED}. so it's made short, direct, and to the point.
the man obviously cared enought to even say anything instead of just walking on.
maybe he fought an addiction in his own life and didn't want someone else to suffer the way he did.
maybe he was just a butthole. who knows.
I can look back and say I should have listened alot more... just because I didnt know what they were talking about didnt mean they didnt know what they were talking about...know what Im talking about?
well said...
kids running around with their pants sagging showing their butts.
thinking it's cool.
don't know that they are advertising that their back door is open for business.
as it originated in prison.
they won't know if you don't tell them.
generally when you try to help someone, you wind up looking bad for their ignorance.
next time an old man takes the time to waste his breath (which he doesn't ahve much to spare)
and tell you something... you might learn something by listening.
were you're teachers in school older than you ?
you thought they were older than dirt and didn't know what they were talking about compared to life in the real world.
they been there, done that...many times over, and used the shirt for rag to wipe your nose.
some are just buttholes, that had a bad life, and mouth trash. they don't count.
bottom line is ( You ) have to be smart enough to interpret the situation.
Buy the Provari....when you get it you will think "why did I wait so long?"
^^ Ditto^^

Don't let anyone take your happiness, make up your mind that you control that and don't let anyone steal it from you. Vape loud and proud, he will figure it out someday! Be respectful of your vaping and don't lower yourself to them. Smile and keep vaping!
I'm 53 and envious of your long hair. I'll skip the beard. itchy.
I'm sporting the bowling ball look.I've been trying to remember to bring wipes with me to clean my T3 tips so I could offer someone a taste test from my back up.
I like the way you think.
exactly. I grew up that way too, there was respect for authority, I feared my mom and the adults around me. I never told them to go screw themselves or even thought like that. I used to get whooped by anybody on my block or at my church that saw me doing something I shouldnt. Then they told my mother and I got whooped again. Now young folks beat up old folks, they have no respect. The OP said he didnt take offense, and thats how it should be. If someone older said something to me when they saw me vaping, I wouldnt even feel like how dare this old fart say anything to me or want something bad to happen to him, I look for the jewels in whatever an older person has to say to me and respect that they care to try and alter my path. I didnt mean to say theyre rude, I meant to say just what you said, the older u get, the less time you have for niceties. Its not that theyre trying to be rude to be jerks, they just dont care about beating around the bush anymore.
Perfect example. Me and my mom went out to dinner around the old neighborhood a few months ago. This gravitationally challenged guy in the booth next to us is stuck between his seat and the table. He tries to get out 2 or 3 times before he gives up trying and she turns to him and goes "you need to lose some weight." He looks at her and goes "what you say?" She says "LOSE SOME WEIGHT. It ain't that hard, just stop eating." I was looking at her like (O_O) lol the guy didnt curse her out or threaten her or anything, he laughed and his wife started messing with him about it. Thats how it is where I grew up. Even when old folks are wrong you dont think like that about it, you just dont have that attitude. Theres respect there.
