Funny thing is I was at lunch yesterday and me and a co-worker were sitting outside and a cop drove by, right when i was taking a vape and boom lights sirens and jumped out the car like 21 jump street and I had to explain to them what it was and what I was doing. lol good times.

As traumatizing as that experience must have been, now at least that cop knows what vaping is. Thanks, Chuch, for taking one for the team and educating one more person! I think public visibility is important if this thing is really going to get off the ground, and we can demonstrate the joys of vaping one at a time. The sad truth is that, although this technology has been available to the public for four years or so, most people still don't know what vaping is. Just imagine if we all talked to, say 5 people about vaping each year. Maybe one of those people would switch to e-cigs. By the end of the year, there would be twice as many people vaping and 5 times as much public awareness. Personally I would love it if the world knew that there was a healthier (and much more fun IMO) alternative to smoking, and no one would have to feel awkward about public vaping.

Well, ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Went for a walk and at first, no one around. Then there was a young mom with a couple of blonde babies who pointed and said "smoking's bad for you". I did my best to entertain and educate and prove they're trying to make it 'less bad'. The kids and the mom thought that was cool.

Near the river there were ducks and geese and a few cyclists who wizzed by while I puffed ~~ in peace.

Coming home, I sat on a bench near some big old trees. And old man, named Bob, offered me a tailor-made, which I accepted while showing him my electronic version. He'd never heard of it. I asked him if he wanted to try it, and he shook his head, smiling. "Looks like you're having a hard time getting the smoke to come out --" He said, as kind as he could.

Oh geez, ran out of juice! LOL While I turned several shades of red and pink and purple, he handed me another cigarette.

"Here," He said patting my shoulder. "You look like you'll need this for the trip home!"

Moral: bring back up juice, carto and battery for next outing...

ps I'm still all embarrassed. :blush:
