I change up my avatar a lot (I get bored) but the one I have now of me laughing in the car in front of a high end store....I was laughing because these uppity ladies were GLARING at me in the parking lot because I was vaping! Like mean, disgusted glares. I just got done "coaching" my friend about Ecigs/vaping because he said it was worse than smoking, blah, blah..

I told him that most people don't know squat about vaping and I catch people STARING at me like I'm an alien. We walked out to my car and these ladies were outside of their car talking and staring at me as I was walking and vaping. It was hilarious and we both started cracking up because i had JUST talked about this literally seconds prior.

My friend captured the pic, the ladies were by the car next to mine. I purposely and PROUDLY started vaping again in my car (which I never do) and it makes me smile when I see this pic because I find other people's ignorance humorous. :evil:

I've been using a box mod quite a bit lately. People don't seem to grasp it at all. I supposed I must look like I'm sucking on a burning old style cell phone.

ETA: Actually, that just made me think of something. I could could a prescription label around it.

Wow, Nitty! Either I don't do much public vaping or I have one of those faces that makes people want to ask me stuff. Waiting for Ocelot to advise me on Hawaiian prints... the precious.jpg

But I get bombarded with questions about my PV and this... "Whiskey Tango Foxtrot is that thing?" from people a bit closer to me.

Overall, I would say that there are just people who lack the courage to ask anything; those might be the types who whisper instead of flat out asking. I used to get peeved walking around in DC and watching people look away or look down instead of eye to eye contact; until I realized that they were just shy or scared.

Don't take it to heart, I am sure it's not your gills. I mean it's 2013, aren't gills all the rage now?

Heck, I'm a vapor and find box mods crazy looking! Can't imagine the stares from those unaware! Hahahahaha

Been vaping box mods for years. Funny, they hardly get a look. People figure it out, I think. Now the big metal pipe-bomb looking PV's...makes them look twice. There are usually other references to their looks too.

But a box-mod with a regular atty on it....probably 1/2 of em mistake it for a cell phone. Besides, it's 90% covered by my hand.

Stay classy San Diego! :p

Ocelot? Doesn't your lovely fur poke out through the gaps in the crochet?

Actually that's not my hat, it looks like my hat, but mine has cut outs for my ears. I have another one for winter that has ear pockets sewn into it. I got it from Japan years before kitty ear hats hit the states.
