I don't see many. The occasional person puffing on a Blu or what not. No mods except for the two local vapor shops.
I live in soCal so ive seen a good handful of vapers and i have a good amount of friends that vape as well. But anyway, i saw actually a guy vape inside a mall (not sure if its allowed or not). Was able to vape on a few starbucks locations but some offered me the boot since they see it as a form of "smoking" regardless on how much you try to explain. A couple of bars allow it too.
I have seen a ton around my area lately. Helps that we have five B&M in a 20 mile radius. 
I started vaping long before there were any B&M store frontsI have seen a ton around my area lately. Helps that we have five B&M in a 20 mile radius.
and have been dealing with Internet marketers since the day
I started vaping.
Last week while out shopping in the morning I noticed a B&M store
in a small strip mall. It was 9:30 AM and the sign on the door stated
they open at 10:00 AM. Decided to just sit in the car and listen to
some music and vape.
The parking lot was empty ... but not for long.
By 9:45 AM there were 15 cars parked in front
of the store and they were all e-smokers blowing vapor clouds.
WOW ... Its a week day not a weekend day ...
this should be interesting.
9:55 AM ... everyone got out of their cars and
lined up at the door.
When the store opened there were 3 employees behind
the counter and one said get a number from the ticket machine.
Great store ... vaping lounge with 2 couches and several comfortable
chairs. 2 large black boards on the wall listing all the available flavors.
Wow ... You can vape flavors before you purchase any. They had all
the sample flavors in cartos and they put little white sanitized disposable
plastic tips on them for the customers to sample the flavors.
I said to the one waiting on me ...
Wow, is it this busy every day?
He replied ... this isn't busy ... we just opened.
With in an hour there will be at least 30 customers in the store
and there will be at least 30 in the store until we close at 7PM.
Minneapolis, Minnesota I've seen about 10-15 people besides friends and vapers that I know. Mostly when I'm driving, and almost all of them have eGo kits.
I live in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and Vapor Kings has three stores (big stores) within l0 miles of my house. There are also about 6-7 OTHER vape lounges here, but none as big or as successful as Vapor Kings. I go to VK a LOT, and they are ALWAYS busy, busy, busy. The biggest store has, I think, about 10 full-time employees. Maybe more. They have couches, tables and chairs, free juice testing, music, coke machine, coffee machine, restrooms. Regulars (I'm a regular) meet up there on a regular basis. It's awesome, and it's OBVIOUS that 1) they're doing a bang up business, and 2) they're here to stay. They've expanded the biggest store twice already, taking over the space next door and taking out the wall. They also have three other stores, two within driving distance, and one in Stillwater, a college town about 90 miles away. They also do a GREAT on-line business that has been open since 2009.
Outside a vape shop, I have only seen 2 or 3. My husband and I call them rare wild animals, because we hardly ever see anyone.
I have been vaping for a year and outside of the one guy at work that turned me onto it and the people I'd see in the local B&M, I had never seen anyone vaping, at least till last week. I was at a conference in Vegas, saw two different guys vaping larger chrome devises (lavatube size), a girl going to a club with a black, cig size one (green LED), and one of my coworkers from another office with an EGO hidden in her purse. Had several people ask me about it, including one guy who didn't even speak English, but had a PV, but wanted one like mine (a Chrome v2 Lavatube clone), going as far as asking me to type the name of it in his phone. Also got a lot of the "what drug are you doing" looks.
What is odd though, is I was there in January and didn't see a single person vaping. I was there this time for work, so maybe I had more time to look around or they are becoming more popular.

Fresno, CA i seen a lady the other day walking out of costco with a rather large PV with a tank on it. I was pleasantly surprised. Thats the first one ive seen that wasnt one of those little bluecig things. As i walked passed i said nice rig. She smiled, held it up, winked and kept walking. Ive got my mom vaping now. i should ask her if she ever sees anyone at the casinos vaping.
Durant, Okla. Had to pick up my husband at work and saw a guy vaping a really cool mod. Husband said a lot of people have started vaping. He works at a casino and they recently put up signs saying no vaping in the back of the house. Guests on the floor can vape (of course analogs are allowed)
I suggest it won't be long ...

Douglas, Arizona and no one..just me so far and I was also was in Vegas last month and didn't see anyone..I got a lot of funny looks though when I used mine.
Lol, I catch people looking around and then hitting a mod sometimes. There aren't many people who just walk in to a public place and start blowing clouds. Especially in places like NC where you can't vape inside.
I went to the local bar out here to throw a few games of darts about a week ago, to my surprise I noticed the bartender vapin an ego with a protank when I went to order. so I started talking vape with her and let her try my cheesecake vape off of my lovely vamo, I turned around to start playing and noticed almost everyone in the place was vaping. It wasn't too late so it wasn't a crazy amount of people, it was about 10-15 people, but I have never been to a vape meet so I was pleasantly surprised, haha. its crazy how fast vaping is blowing up in my little town
In Southern California, it's everywhere. Mainly ego stuff, but there are shops popping up everywhere. I was at the bar shooting pool last night and out of maybe 12 people in the place, 5 were vaping ego/evod set ups. I think I changed a few "vapeing lives" after they had a couple rips off the nimbus.
