I started vaping about a month ago. While waiting for a light rail train downtown, I was in what we call 'Pioneer Square' which has been a complete no smoking zone for a while now. People are routinely written tickets for smoking there. I was vaping away, and two guys approached me and started asking questions. (I think that is one of the toughest parts for a new vaper, getting all these questions from people who see you vaping, and feeling like you have to get it right because you want to represent vaping appropriately!) Anyhow, I was telling them what I thought about vaping, answered a few of their questions, etc. Around this time, a transit cop is walking our way, and one of the guys points to the cop and says 'and these guys can't write you a ticket!' Of course, the cop stops dead in his tracks with a 'did you really just say that' look on his face, and says 'actually, I can.' So I say, 'oh, its an electric, not a cigarette', and he says, 'oh, okay', and walks away. Pure WIN.
Similarly... Just two nights ago, I was on the college campus where I take classes at night. Its pitch black outside, and I am standing outside vaping around the back of the building overlooking a field (no roads, etc). Note, that this campus has been 'tobacco free' for a while now, and they will write tickets which are about $25 a pop and can affect your eligibility to graduate. Two other students come out and see me, and proceed to light up analogs. We are chatting away about something funny, and never even notice the rent-a-cops rolling down the lawn with all their lights off. Next thing you know, they are getting out of the car and walking towards us, and I just say 'ah, sorry guys'. I didn't even have to show them my ID. Ha ha!
Anyone else have similar stories? Also, in case anyone was wondering, I started with those cheap little X-Hale 02 cigs from 7-Eleven, and upgraded to a 510 this week and its amazing. I don't think I'll be seeing any analogs in my future!
