How do you best explain what you exhale isn't dangerous?

On the Yeti:

This is the 510 I ordered and Altsmoke got it to me OMG fast. Maybe I was just lucky but I had it in 2 days from hitting "submit order" I seriously had it before the money was out of my account.

On performance, well, it's a 510 and hits like a 510 should. Just as much throat hit and vapor as an analog. Grab an extra batt and 20-30 ml of juice and you're good to start!

When I explain e cigs I say this," The best part is the only thing I breath out is water vapor, so no more of that horrible second hand smoke "

I always start with how terrible cigarettes are and how bad I felt before I started on the e cig. I tell them how I tried everything and was at my wits end and was sure I would be dead in less than five years. Its amazing how people respond when they realize that you really believe youre life was on the line and this thing saved you.

Ive been lucky so far. I havent had any negative response to my public ( or private for that matter ) vaping. I refuse to stealth vape. I do it right out in the open. I want people to ask me what Im doing. I love explaining it to them. I dont get defensive. I smile and sell them on it.

Show how excited you are about it. Get exhuberant! If people can see how happy you are about it, they are less likely to respond negatively.

If I am understanding everything correctly (and I might not be!), we actually are exhaling a lot of water. The PG/VG vaporizes when it is atomized but it does not become visible until it comes in contact with moisture. It sucks the moisture out of the air and condenses into visible vapor, which is why you get a lot more vapor on humid days. It is also why you can easily become dehydrated when you vape a lot.

I am not a science expert, this is just how it was explained to me so take it for what it is worth.

Have a boo at this... I think this should give you about all the ammo you might need.

It's a sticky subject. From my observations its not actually even the smoke that comes out that bothers most people, its just the act of smoking and that they see you do it and smoking has been demonized by the public, and is socially unacceptable. I work in a metal working shop that is full of machines constantly tossing smelly smoke into the air from welders and oil burning off of hot metal and very rarely does anyone mention that. But you fire up a cigarette and smoke it and people see you, all of the sudden everyone is sick and the smoke bothers everyone around. People seem to get all bent out shape when they see me vapin too but they dont know why. Go figure, lol.

Im an out of work machinist myself. My last job, the place had a blue haze in the air at all times. Once, several of us were smoking in the shipping bay ( it was very very cold outside ) and a nonsmoker came back there to ask the floor supervisor 9 a smoker ) a question and started in about how the smoke was bothering him. My supervisor opened the inside door waved his hands at the blue haze and said," Really? "

^oh, and the lab rat thing was done in (I think) the 1950's

lab rats will get cancer and other mutations from everything it seems now a days...they must have some really flaky immune systems and biology lol! im sure somethings they claim that cause health problems might infact, but they always use the same type of animal so im startin to blame the RAT!

Not this lab rat!!!

Particularly, us rats from the 50's!!!

We've been through everything known to man and we still come back to bite you on the ars..

Chemical, nuclear, lead pollution, a couple of wars (to name a few).....as well as smoking by our parents (during pregnancy, I might add) and in the office, etc.

However, we still live!!!

So Walt, I believe that the "The 50's Rats" will end up being the 'rats' of PVs.

We have shown before that our survival decisions have had foundation and have been correct. Gee, we've made it this far.

After all, it comes down to the survival instinct. I believe that is well intact with the members of this forum!!!

It isn't smoke.

Either are fumes from a can of brake cleaner, but breathe them in and you're dead.
