It's an intentionally vague question so I get more open ended answers. I'll start with my own answer.

I never used to smoke inside my room and car, so that's when I use it most often. I usually use my PV until I feel "good" then just kind of forget about it for an hour or two. I take long hits and hold it a little longer than most people. I like french inhaling but it causes my nose to get congested. I use it a lot at home, and at work I'm on my feet a lot so I just have a puff every now and then, and it does the job.

I find myself avoiding it inside of public places just because smoking is not allowed anywhere. It avoids awkward conversations about that it's not smoke, etc. I end up using it in the bathroom a lot because there's guaranteed to not be cameras.

I always keep a spare cartridge and spare battery in my pocket. Though now that I just got the E-power 18650, its less of an issue. I've had it for 4 days and I'm still on my first battery! And I got a 1.5mL Sapphire tank so I don't need to worry about refilling very often either. My main issue with doing this, is the threads of the spare atomizer can scratch the PV itself.

I avoid vaping where smoking is not allowed. However, I do vape in my home and car, which I didn't do before.

ditto.

As an aside, years ago I smoked indoors in previous residences, and would every now and then be a little surprised as the ashtray would fill itself. Did I really smoke that much? I'd think. When it's right there and I don't have to make a conscious decision to go somewhere and use it, I at least tend to use it more. I'm pretty sure I've increased my avg. nic intake with vaping now for similar reasons. Back then I started a habit of setting the pack away from wherever I was... desk, coffee table, etc. I'm probably going to have to start something like that up again with vaping at some point.

Right now, though, I'm just going with whatever whim takes me. I didn't want the transition to vaping to be like the experience of quitting. Thus far, it's been remarkably painless, but I do intend to start regulating my nic intake a little more closely soon.

I smoked 3 packs a day, for 15 years before I found vaping.

Now I vape like a Nuclear Reactor Cooling Tower.

always had a cig in my mouth, and now I'm always vaping. Keep my little VV Army tank hangin from a lanyard so it is always close at hand. In public I'll turn the voltage down so not to cause alarm: stealth vaping ftw.

Due to vaping love + tablet PC love I have had to resort to carrying a "Man Purse".

Regarding nicotine intake... same with me. I used to not have much, on a good day it would only be like 3 cigarettes... now I'll use an entire 1.5mL tank most days. When I'm busy such as at work, I forget until the craving really hits me then only have a couple puffs to satisfy it. But at home, in the car it's almost chainvaping sometimes. Though as I said, when I get to a certain level (such as where I am right now), I forget about it and all of a sudden an hour has gone by, and i'm like might as well. Then it tastes SO GOOD and I start chainvaping for a few minutes again. :)

I really do not plan on regulating it. Why? You're not going to die from too much nicotine intake (at least it hasnt been proven), and nicotine itself only brings me positive effects- Lower stress, increased focus, time in general just goes by more smoothly.

Also, cost used to be a factor in how many cigarettes I smoked. E-liquid is dirt cheap.

I load or re-load 8-10 cartomizers for the day, throw them in my vapeing wallet, and go. I vape till a little wobbly first thing in the morning (now), about an hour later on the way to work in my car, sporadically, but generally all day at work, on the way home, and after dinner and in bed reading.

So far I have not vaped while showering or having sex.

Just after sex it's better, just like with cigarettes!
In the shower I wouldn't advise, you don't want circuitry getting wet...

Any place I feel like it and I don't hide it. I love some of the looks I get but I have also converted a buttload of smokers including my doctor, an officer, and the officer's wife because I refuse to hide it. The more smokers that see it the better as well as non-smokers because they are usually the ones that ask the most questions..they usually have someone that they would like to see "kick" the habit.
