Midwest here. I use spinners, twists and different clearos (CE5s, Vivi Minis, Protanks) Actually, I have only had modest curiosity mostly wondering how it has worked for me. Many people are aware of e-cigs now. I think most people naturally assume that, if you are vaping openly, its some sort of e-cig. After almost a year, I have not been confronted with any negativity. I am not one to flaunt it though. I do not vape anywhere that smoking is not allowed. Maybe a little stealth during long movies but only if there are not people around that could be offended.
