My boss basically TOLD ME I can smoke it at my cubicle

MY BOSS BASICALLY TOLD ME I CAN vape AT MY CUBICLE.

My ecig was MUCH more well received at my job than I ever dreamed. I took it the other day, handed out business cards of my suppliers, let a co-worker try it (then my charger broke... but it's fixed now with the help of my techie boyfriend) and my non-smoking boss said to me yesterday "You can smoke that anywhere can't you? It only puts off vapor."

YES! SCORE!

At my office I'm one of 7 using PVs and we all vape away at our desks. It's pretty awesome.

Excellent! My boss was the one who turned me on to e-cigs. I tried his 'Pomegranite' cartridge and decided I must have it!! He'd gotten a Smoking Everywhere Gold kit. I found the forum, researched, and bought a 510 kit. He tried it and liked it better and ordered one himself. Now we swap juices back and forth. The old "Let's go burn one" (referring to stepping outside for a cigarette) has been replaced by "Let's vape one."

these are all excellent responses to ecigs! I was very surprised but I think that our employers will benefit from it because of our productivity can increase with us at our desks more. Also, they're insurance rates might improve w less smokers.

You know; that's a whole new interesting conversation in and of itself. How will insurance companies look at vaping? Will it count as smoking? It obviously doesn't to you and I, but will the continued use of nicotine help rationalize a decision on their part to consider it "smoking?"

I can only imagine that insurance companies as a whole will try to lump it in as the same, if only because they get to "rightfully" charge higher premiums for "smokers."

Anyways, sorry for going off-topic.

Right now one of our managers upstairs looks like he's running a methlab, he's got so many bottles of liquid. I've started to call him "31 Flavors."

I sit in an office by myself all day with the occassional co-worker, but my boss told me too that vaping was ALL GOOD so long as no one complained. He still makes fun of my e-cig, and then goes outside for a dip.

My best,

Hey beatlebandaide, how is it that you quit smoking for 2 days, avoided 98 analogs, but saved $0?? lol

I had a guy buy four kits and supplies for all of them yesterday. Said he was tired of his employees taking smoke breaks!

My boss actually defended my vaping against a complaining customer.

I was sitting outside on break with a friend, somewhat near the open door of our shop, vaping my 510. Some sour-pussed old woman loudly started complaining to the bartender that I should be fined for smoking near the doorway, and the smell of cigarette smoke was bothering her.

My boss took her outside and pointed out to her in the nicest possible terms that she was an idiot, explained PVs to her, and told her the nasty cigarette smell was all in her head. She said nothing, turned on her heel, and stalked back inside.

Probably not a victory for vapers in general with her, but it was awfully nice to have my boss, who is *very* anti-smoking, stick up for me.

im too busy at work to vape, and I dont want to get oil/grease on my 510... no biggie, I prefer to vape at home while I drink beer.

 

[redjazzy1]

my coworkers have all been very supportive and my boss asked me about it for his mother... i think she's a little set her in ways as he says but he's totally cool with it... as for my other job as a karaoke host and dj, i feel better not reeking of cigs when i have to talk close-up with my audience! my boss there is a smoker and i've realized just how bad it can smell!

You know... it's creepy that the banner knows that... lol I have no clue what's wrong with it, but I didn't quit two days ago. I'm going to have to redo my banner because my charger broke the day after I got my ecig and I had to start over... been cig free again since yesterday at 6pm though!

I've had insurance forms ask if I'm a smoker. We wouldn't have to say yes. We're not smokers anymore.

Being that I live in NJ just outside NYC and I DJ at night, smoking was pretty much impossible during a set due to the smoking ban. I learned about PVs from a cutie who face periodically had a blue glow and was blowing out what i thought was smoke. As soon as my set was over I ran over to ask her how she was getting away with puffing inside the club and what the blue light was all about. She handed me her peach flavored PV and I was hooked. We've been chatting on facebook and Im gonna see her saturday night. ::thumbs up and a grin::

 

[Drunkwaco]

Been vaping at work for a month now 52 people know about it and are so cool i vape infront of them with out concern. but there is 53rd i dare not show or talk to him about it. even mentioning the possiblity i think would start a gaint spying game. so i vape undercover at work.

THANKS! Actually Iv found that its a great conversation starter Iv been "pimping" it the last 3 days Iv had it with great results. Guys if you see a nice young lady with a dirty analog in her hand... stroll thru and strike up a convo... hit your PV a few times and shes bound to ask about it. Curiosity is an aphrodisiac.

Michelle- I have the NPRO but it leaks alot no matter what I do and not alot of vaper coming out. What do you like about the 510? And do they have full size?

 

[RandallFlagg]

Been vaping since day one at my job in every area that I work -all indoors. Never a single complaint about it.
One guy, however, said I looked creepy talking while huge clouds of smoke was coming out of my nose. Said I looked like a dragon.
There are now THREE vapers at my job.

RE: Insurance companies
I would think that if you took a physical for life insurance coverage and they tested for nicotine it would show up in your blood test?
