http: // wcbstv.com/local/e.cigarette.paramus.2.1214089.html im not allowed to post links so this is broken up with spaces

here is a news broadcast about NJ going after e smokers to put a ban on them for indoor use......this crap makes me sick

You younguns don't go to the right place. This old grama just saw three e smokers at church BINGO. When I asked them what kind they had they said they got them at a drug store here in town (Dubuque, Ia). And you say you can't teach an old dog new tricks lol. I gave them this web site so they can find out what a much better price and product these venders have than where they purchased theirs. I really enjoy this message board and have gotten a lot of good advice. Thank you all.

I find it odd to hear of so many people wanting or trying to be discreet with their E-Cigs, I am the exact opposite, I didn't hide my tobacco cigarettes and I will be damned if I will hide the legal substitute. I am getting about sick of everyone crying about what others do with themselves. This is water vapor, if this bothers them, then they got bigger problems than my E-Cig being around them. I think I have only seen one other person that had one and that was at the tobacco store, I have introduced a few friends to them but I don't count those.

I have seen dozens of people using them. Blu, SE and njoy mainly. (besides the people I have sold my produucts to) But these people all seek me out because of my job. wanting to compare, talk shop and like.

No haven't seen anyone yet but, I was coming from the ballpark the other night and a group of people were talking about this NEW thing call E-Cigs and how it gives you the nictone hit without the other stuff. I felt like turning around and joining the discussion but I thought well I might of looked pretty silly joining into a private conversation.

I keep business cards in my purse printed with a brief explanation of what e-cigs are and this forum address.

If I were in your shoes, I might have handed them one and simply said, "I couldn't help but overhear your conversation....you might be interested in this.." and left it at that.

I give these cards out to anyone who asks me what my e-cig is. I get a lot of that when I eat out (usually at the bar in both places where you can still smoke and also where there's a smoking ban).

(I printed these after scribbling the forum address on lots of napkins...)

With the card.. if they want to find out more, they have the info to do so.

A twenty-something friend of one of our sons noticed what I was vaping just a few days ago and said he had one in his truck, but wasn't having much luck. He pulled out a charge-in-the-pack setup that he bought at the local smoke shop for $10. Bad atomizer, carts that can't be refilled, and a little tiny e-cig that made my super mini look like a cigar. Showed him mine and offered a few suggestions, mainly to get on this forum and read up. He's suppose to be over in a few days so we can show him more. Other than him - we haven't met anyone vaping that we hadn't introduced to it.

Back in June I flew down to Georgia to visit family. I stealth-vaped on the flights, which was liberating, especially as the tension mounted through turbulence. Anyway, about 30 minutes from Seattle on the return flight to Washington, my seatmate looked over and noticed me sneaking a pull. He said "Whoa, wait, you can use that on the plane?" At first, I was like "Busted!" and prepared to get cussed out or complained about. To my surprise and amusement, he pulled out a RN4081 like mine from a fannypack and said "I've been debating on whether or not to use this in the lavatory."

I advised him on the ways to be sneaky, i.e. holding the vapor in long enough for it to dissipate in the lungs, etc., and he said "I wish you would have told me that in Atlanta!" I told him about the forum, so I dunno... he might even be reading this thread now.

I haven't met any others yet. The e-cig has yet to really take off in New Zealand. There is one place in NZ where they can be bought, but the nicotine cartridges and liquid cannot legally be sold here, so one has to order that from overseas. I get the feeling that not many people can be arsed to do that.

It was fun not having to go outside to smoke at the party I went to last night. Once the hostess understood what an e-cigarette is (and more importantly, what it isn't) I was grand!

Something you might be interested in... A company in the UK is selling stealth juice. I've just gotten in my second batch. It produces nearly no vapor after inhaling. Very strong hit. Very menthol, their only flavor in this juice apparently. I've got a 15 hour flight coming up and I'm definitely going to be using this stuff, either in my seat or in the head. I use it at work as well, just so that I don't attract a bunch of unwanted attention.

Personally I've only seen 1-2 people around the Lowell,MA Nashua NH area with SE's. They got the kiosk up in the mall that sells them. Funny thing is I've never actually seen anyone in the mall itself with them but I've been asked about it from people who have already been to the both. Generally they make the complaint to me they are over 100 dollars and I have to tell them about all the other models and what not. Generally a good experience though. Biggest complaint is the taste but thats a little sacrifice that I guess you have to make. Ever tried a real cigarette after stopping for months? Now that's a bad taste.

 

[tmbrown327]

The whole SE thing just reminded me of why I won't vape in a mall that sells them. I'd feel like such a dork using something associated with that company.

It's nice to see them much more interested in my blue 510 though

 

[jennlsnoopy]

I have not yet seen someone else vaping. The only people that I've seen vaping are the people I converted to them. The funny thing is several people I know that don't smoke have started to tell me they have started to see people using them around town since I first told them about them. Why are they seeing people vaping and I'm not? I think it would be interesting to be walking down the street vaping and to see someone else doing the same thing. Hopefully soon!

 

[catlvr]

I've never seen anyone here yet. But I do know that there is at least one because he(she?) is a member of the forums and has our city named in his location.

 

[crashtestjeep]

I'm with you. I use my Janty Stick openly & look forward to when people ask questions about it. It was rather cool vaping at the doctor's office last week. So far the only person I've ever seen vaping is the friend who introduced me to it. The OP Ironically enough

 

[PixieCut]

I have never seen another person with a PV.

But I am in Germany and use my 801 with a blue LED in public daily. I get pointed /stared at by the Germans a lot . but whatever, it's a staring kind of culture here.

I wish I could find a place here that sells PVs/ juice ~~ Grateful to this forum for all the info.

 

[boondongle]

I ran into one other person vaporizing at work. I still go outside to the smoking area every now and then, just to talk to all my smoking buddies. Usually they don't notice that I'm not smoking a cigarette. The other day, though, one of them had a Blu. I pointed (with my box mod in hand) at it and asked, "Hey, what is that?" He pointed to my box mod and said, "The same thing you've got...I think." We had a bit of a laugh over that and talked about my mod for a while. He wasn't aware of everything out there. Just saw him a few days later, smoking a real cigarette. Oh, well.

 

[Fatch]

I'm in wisconsin, and I've seen quite a few. A couple were people I converted(obviously), but I've seen people at bars and at restaurants vaping.
