I don't flash mine around to strangers that much....so I'm usually not even asked. Those who know me and see me vaping have watched the evolution from a skinny 510 set up through the eGos to this....so they know it's just an advanced version of my "e-cig"....although I don't ever call it an e-cig.
I recently started my niece and her husband on a couple of REO Minis.....and it's funny because they don't really know REO from anything...they're not on ECF and they never had an other pv, so they're really not familiar with any of the lingo.....and they call them their "Puffers"....cute. Tara will text me and say, "Marc has a question about his puffer" or "I left my puffer in the car and thought I had lost it."
I call it my puffer as well. When i get a question i slide the door up, show them the large and powerful battery, then unscrew the reomizer cap. I then compare it to a toaster wire heating up when i press my switch. I explain its advanced and very diy style. If they look at me crazy, i say "havnt smoked a single stinky since march of 2013." "This thing took me off a pack and a half a day habbit", and "come to me if you ever want to try an ecig, i know where to get the best bang for your buck and how to make them work".
Usually i dont get past the 1st stage of show and tell. But the people who stay intrested get the whole deal.
This week i retired all my ego's and clearos to friends who have stayed interested for free. They know whats in my hand has to be better if ive abandoned what they now use.
Ill give it a couple months before they are having me show them what to order from rob
