Hello All, I am new to ECF... first post here. I was cautious at first, but have not gotten any negative feedback from anyone yet. I do get stares, but at 7ft Tall, I have gotten used to stares, so hard to tell if it is due to the E-Cig,lol I go Ninja vape at work, using the fruity or java liquids, less of a VG cloud in Ninja mode is best :)


Evil at 7 ft tall no one even knows what you are doing up there in the clouds!

At three months I am still a little shy about. Especially feel funny driving down the road vaping my EGO with Liquinator attached. I just know I'm going to get the cops on me one day in the little town where I live asking what the heck I think I'm smokin'!

I've heard the kids have already found a way to use the vaping hardware to vape a flavor you can't find online. No doubt the police would want to have a chat with you and make sure you're not smoking the evil weed with it! I think I'd have a good laugh with the officer when he found out I was vaping RC Cola.

Well, I guess that was only a matter of time. I kind of worry if that will become problematic enough to cause problems for us vapers who aren't so enthusiastic about a specific time of day.

i try to hide mine( vaping 8 months now) but only because i dont want to have to explain what it is the the uninformed. ALSO, i HATE when people ask to try it. went to a party once and like 8 people tried my ego. Afterwards, i couldn't vape just the thought that 8 other people had their lips on my ego grossed me out.

I purchased and extra tip from my vendor (less than a dollar) for just those occasions. I want as many people as I can find to be educated about vaping.

I felt a little funny at first, but it went away after a while. The oddest was with my gas station e-cig - looked real except for the green led. My black 510 kit got me over it mostly (red LED, and I HAVE seen black analogs). The finisher was when one atty's paint started chipping - i scraped the remaining black paint from it, and one battery so I have this cool looking stainless steel tube with a glowing red end.

When I was at Hersheypark this summer (big amusement park), all of the smokers were segregated into these little areas with little gazebos... sometimes with the smokers' little kids hovering around taking it all in. It made me feel bad for them and glad that I vape now.

Usually I am keeping to myself if I sneak a vape in Walmart, but every time I walked by these gazebos I kind of tried to show what I was doing, hoping someone would ask me. I still feel weird being able to vape everywhere though and don't really like the "What is that guy doing!?!?!" look lol :vapor:

Outside of myself and my wife, I've never met another vaper in person. I guess it just hasn't caught on in New Orleans yet. I don't care so much and will vape anywhere. The wife hides it like she's doing crack though.
Funny cuz i only get people they want to try my pv. i have yet to see another vapor in the wild.
i feel so lonely sometimes.

That's why I carry a bunch of alcohol prep pads around with me ;)

I am shy with it except in my small 4 person office, unless my boss walks in, and in smoking areas. I pull the drip tip off to let people try it. I have noticed when vaping in the car around the State Living Center campus I work at that people stare. I work with the intellectually disabled so don't wear my lanyard into the homes, but do wear it at meetings so that if we get a break I can use it then.

I am still shy about that though. Could be because my stainless e-Power sort of reminds me a personal pleasure device. :laugh: One of the men I work around said something to that effect. Trust me when he asked for a drag a few days later, he almost choked on vape when he saw my eyes dancing. All I said was, "You look like a natural with that in your mouth" though.

One son and his gf whom I let try it, bought a cheapie one and are trying to get off analogs. A step son said he wanted one after hearing I'd quit smoking after 36 years of it. A girl in my office bought a black one but likes my e-Power better. I am still worried about riding on the bike and vaping, partially because it is so visible. I bought a 3.2-4.0 (depending on charge on battery) to take on the bike because it has an off switch. Also, because I don't want my beloved e-Power beating me in the chest, or knocking me out on the bike. :laugh:

If you feel anxious about it I should feel downright ashamed :p
I say vape loud and vape proud! But if your PV looks like a detonator like mine don't bring it in an airport! lol:2cool:

Dude, that's insane. Get a face mask and you'd look like you were on an oxygen tank. :) What kind of PV is that anyway? It looks like you'd have had to convert it to an automatic battery.
