Curious Stranger: "Is that an electronic cigar?"

Gut Response: No! It’s an eGo-T with a type B atomizer and 900mah battery. E-Cigars are totally different.

What I say instead: "Yeah. Pretty cool, eh?"

Am I the only one?

Someone asked me a couple of days ago: "Is that one of those fake cigarettes?" (I had an eGo in my hand complete with atty/cone/drip tip) And I felt OFFENDED...seriously. And I replied, "It's an electronic cigarette, yes." And then she asked me some questions and said she had one, but it was skinny. I rarely get approached about my gear so after being initially offended, I was pleased that at least someone was asking instead of staring. I got her email address so I could send along some info.

I walked up on a security guard at one of our state buildings out back smoking, totally where he wasn't supposed to be smoking. Like as in, it's his job to enforce people from smoking out there He almost stuck his lit cigarette in his pocket. I laughed and told him that he needed to get an e-cig, so he wasn't so easily busted. He replied that he'd bought one at the mall and it sucked. I took my buzz and ego out and let him look at them and explained the difference.

((Yeah, I totally wanna geek out and start talking mAhs and stuff but I'm usually like that about most things that interest me. You don't even want to start a convo with me about books, censorship, art, science fiction vs fantasty, robots, futurism or neuroscience.))
