I just saw an interesting topic in a thread that I don't have permission to respond to yet. So, I thought I'd bring it up here: How often do you see other vapers other than at specific vaping events? Also, (idea from that thread, admittedly not an original thought), should vapers acknowledge one another when they see each other in public? You know, like Corvette or Harley owners give each other the subtle wave and head nod when passing other Vette or Harley owners.

I've got three other vapers living on my street. It's kind of what made me take the plunge. I've also "converted" two others. 
Out in public I've only seen a couple but I just started paying a attention really now that I'm vaping.

Its like noticing a particular car after you start driving one ...
Although I see a lot more cars like mine than I do fellow vapers ...

I've seen a cousin at a birthday party. And my stepbrother's girlfriend at another family gathering. Never seen anyone out in public doing it like walking down the street. But then I don't walk down many streets.
I'd love it if another vaper came up and said hello to me!
I once passed a guy in the street who had an e-cig, and wanted to wave mine and nod hello, but he had some big mod thing and I was embarrassed by my little ego and didn't. Also this was in central London and we don't talk to each other in London! Kind of wished I had though.
I saw a guy walking down the road as I was driving by the other day and from behind it looked like he took a toke on a cigarette, but from the massive plume of smoke he exhaled, I would guess it actually had to be vapour. But by the time I thought to wave my e-cig out the window and beep the horn I was half-way down the road anyway.
But in the right situation, I think yes I would acknowledge another vaper, I think it would be nice!

I have never seen one in my town but I know they are there cause the man who runs my old cigarette shop has said that there has been people asking about if he stocks juice. I only vape in my car when Im out and about and I still get some strange looks but I don't care. I love sometimes to really blow their minds and really vape up my car and then open the door and have it all pour out! LOL
I've been vaping for about a month and a half now and I have only seen one person vaping in a bar. That was just last weekend too.
To all you new folks - welcome!
I have seen a scant few folks (other than at my local B&M) vaping in public. I don't wander into bars anymore (although I did do a poker run a couple weekends ago and saw a small handful of vapers at the various stops.) I have yet to find restaurants where I'd feel comfortable vaping inside.
I usually give a knowing smile when I do see someone, and if my rig is handy, flash it at them too.

I'm a gamer as well as a vaper so I'm in a lot of video game stores. Both if the stores I frequent most have vapers working there and I had never even noticed it before I started Vaping myself!

Starting to see them in increasing numbers. Recently attended a graduation and saw a couple of people vaping out front with the smokers. Was on the beach last weekend and saw a woman vaping. Within the past couple of weeks I have seen several people in passing cars that were vaping (the people, not the cars). Saw some statistics recently that talked about the tremendous increase in the number of people vaping (sorry, can't remember the exact percentage increase or exactly where I saw it, so you will just have to take my word for it!!).
I "hang out" periodically in one of local vape shops. Seeing more and more people coming in and asking questions and getting starter kits...

I actually see an amazing amount of vapers in my area. Usually see them vaping in their cars as they drive, but have also seen quite a few in stores.
Other than at a B&M, I have only seen one mod in the wild. I usually see ego set ups on lanyards around people's necks.

Ah, do I detect an aire of superiority? J/k Don't knock the beginners or those who are satisfied with ego/clearo. Remember, we should all be commended for giving up cigarettes and not admonished for not being "as sophisticated" with our devices as those with rebuidables.
I started vaping just a few months ago, when I walk into a local store I put it away in my pocket. I think it is funny due to the way people look at me with my K-100 and Nautilus, they give me a strange look as I am almost 60.
I would rather vape at this point verses picking up another cigarette.

I've seen a few fellow vapers running around with cigalikes and egos, no mods but then even a lot of mod users take egos out and about for portability.
I'm seeing them more and more. Walking down the street, driving, outside of bars/restaurants etc. Some are friendly and want to talk and others are aloof. I find the newer vapers want to talk the most. Mostly trying the learn more and get ideas. I enjoy sharing what I know. I'm far from an expert but I've spent enough time and money getting where I am now. It's nice to help folks take a faster route to their sweet spot. This board is what did it for me. But the majority of folks probably don't do the internet forum thing.
