Is that a pipe?

[cucurucho]

Tonight, waiting at the bus stop on my way home, a couple of girls noticed me puffing away on my 801. I tend to hold it like a pipe, partly to cover the LED so as not to attract too much attention, but mostly because I find it more comfortable.

I heard one of the girls say "If that's a pipe, that is sooo cool," to which the other replied, "Yeah, I can smell it, pipe tobacco smells so good!"

I pretended not to hear because I didn't feel like explaining it to them, but they must have noticed a small grin of amusement sneak across my face. The only thing I could smell was an overbearing sewerage smell from a nearby alleyway (one that always stinks for some reason). It was like a positive version of people coughing when they see the vapour.

I find it highly amusing that visual stimulus can inspire such powerful olfactory hallucinations.

I hold mine like a pipe sometimes too, and it does get weird looks.

One time, when holding it like a normal cigarette, some guy came up to me and asked if he could bum a cigarette off me.

I told him I didn't have any cigarettes, and he gave me a pretty mean face.
I also tried smoking it on the bus once, which isn't a good idea, because there are a lot of crazy homeless people who ride the bus. They seem to go berserk.

My wife hates smoking and can't get her head round my PV, she goes mental if I smoke it in the house as it "Smells like smoke!" I respond by going mental as I'm "vaping" strawberry for crying out loud, under no stretch of the imagination can it smell like tobacco smoke.

As you say, it's all in the mind, I'll have just exhailed a big cloud of vapour as she walks into the kitchen or wherever and she say's nothing, as she can't smell a thing, but if she catches me (visably see's the vapour) then the room stinks of it...apparently!

my wife thinks that it smells of sweet pipe tobacco to, but it´s only when she is right by my side,she can smell it

haha, ive dealt with situations like this before. Its just easier to ignore people to save your energy from explaining and more time to vape!
