I've been watching this thread with interest, hoping Patrick will come back and tell us how it went. However, with several days having passed without his coming back, I fear it may not have gone too well for him. I hope I'm wrong, but I am intimately familiar with the pitfalls of having unreasonably authoritarian parents.
This goes out to mojo and anyone else who is still interested in this thread. I totally forgot about this thread because I've been having to work overtime but it actually worked! Before I went to them, I printed out some known facts, saved a couple videos, and even blew a damn cloud in front of them! I never thought I would say this but, I actually got them both on there first e cig! It's just a blu but this is an amazing step for me and my parents. I appreciate all the positive feedback. Can't believe how much y'all act like a family towards me and everyone else. vape STRONG! ;)

You're an adult and have the right to do what ever you want w/in the confines of the law, but as I'm sure it was stated, they are also adults and can set up any arbitrary rule they want in their house.

So either respect their rules and go outside to vape, move out or kill them and bury 'em in the backyard and vape to your hearts desire...errrr wait, no, try to convince them vaping is less harmful than smoking

Don't worry too much, it's normal. My wife (who quit smoking cold turkey maybe three or four years ago) complains about "my liquids", how it smells like a chemistry lab where I keep them according to her, the smell in the air (at least of most of them and even that changes from time to time, so I never really know for certain if a certain vapour will always be ok), she's even had occasional bad cough attacks that she immediately attributes to my vaping, she probably will never be sure ecigs are basically harmless despite the fact that I've always tried to educate her and she went as far as saying that "normal people switch to ecigs so that they can get rid of everything eventually". On the other hand, I'm sure I'd have to be smoking in the balcony, come rain or shine, if I still smoked.
Even my son (16, to be 17 in August), while defending my vaping, has said breathing glicerol can't be that good.

Man, society will only be happy when we do nothing but work and totally conform. Even if they may be "rebels" in their in stances. There's always some sort of confrontation and vaping seems to be part of it. Still, your parents are wrong in continuing to smoke although that's really their business - obviously.

EDIT: I just read your last post. Well done. :)
