I watch a show on FX called "The Bridge" and was so surprised to see on of the main characters vaping during the last episode. They actually made a point to talk about it. The vaper is a business man in cahoots with the Mexican Cartel. The cartel boss offered him a cigar and when the man declined the cartel boss asked if he brought his "gay cigarette." Then in a later scene it showed the using his ecig, you could hear the noise and he was "playing" with the vapor he exhaled. The only reason i posted this is because it was the first time i had seen or heard of vaping on a major show/network.
Main character on national tv vaping!!

Zac Efron's character was vaping in that Bad Neighbors movie. Sort of a lame movie though :\
John Goodman had one of those hookah sticks in Hangover 3, but he never took a pull off it so you prob did witness the 1st vape on a major show. I was watching a countdown on VH1 once and they had Omar from the wire as one of the people that would announce the video before it came on and he had an ego that he vaped before he named the video each time
I saw that "Bridge" episode. In the one scene, I was just watching him vaping and not really listening to the dialogue. They had him vaping in some earlier episodes too, but unless you were a vaper you would have never noticed. Looked like a blue ego with an evod/MT3 tank. Pretty cool.
Yep, too bad they didn't have a sympathetic character like Hank (Ted Levine) vaping. Not some scumbag banker drug cartel type. Of course, there really aren't that many sympathetic characters to choose from.
One of the Captains on 'Deadliest Catch' has been vaping for more than a season now (just junk though)
I believe the first e-cigarette used on TV was on the David Letterman show a couple of years ago. She has since "advanced up" to using a Provari.
On the other side of the spectrum you have guys who vape and even own vape shops like the guy on Deadliest Catch.
Last season he's seen with real cigarettes and not once with a mod or even cig-a-like.
Later on in an interview he said the network doesn't want to show that on camera, but they'll gladly show the real cigarettes?
His face was priceless though, every time he went to take a fake drag it looked like he almost didn't want to.

Yes I seen that on The Bridge as well and was very excited that they are starting show it .
The character "Samuel" on the El Rey channel show Matador is constantly using a Blu e-cig.
Fox News show Red Eye has a guest panel and there was a black female (don't know her name) that had what looked like a Vision Spinner and clearomizer in her hand. She never took a vape on camera but she did mention what it was.
That's right, I saw that too but had forgotten about it. It was that new young captain with the girl problems. I think his name is Ely.
That would be (in the voice of Mike Rowe): Captain Elliott Neese on board the 109 foot Saga.
Zeke on Bering Sea Gold / Under the Ice vapes some kind of eGo/Clearo setup as well.
In House of Cards, Kevin Spacey's character had a blu. Part of the story was he quit smoking and told his wife it's not cheating its vapor
I was flipping channels and this guy either on bet or the oxygen channel. the guy on there was using an ego style setup with maybe a clearomizer. I am a channel surfer either car shows or movies no commercials
