Hot Pink Radius? 
A funny vape-related situation happened to my wife yesterday. As she got out of the train station and was walking to her office, she was vaping on some lychee-flavored e-liquid. A random guy approached her and asked "excuse me, miss, is that marijuana?" This was definitely not a cop, as NYC cops are well aware of what vaping is and a lot of clientele of my local B&M are cops and other first responders. My wife just gave him an incredulous look, said no and kept walking.
Anyone have any funny vaping in public experiences to share?
Note: Apparently, the forum doesn't like the term for an unnamed green plant. In the interest of full disclosure, neither my wife nor I partake in it.

The only time a complete stranger comments on me vaping these days is a smoker, who tells me he or she has heard vaping is worse than cigarettes.......
I used to try to educate them, but now I just sigh and keep on walking.......

A few of my colleagues saw me vaping outside of our building and were extremely interested in what I was doing. I explained to them what it is, without sounding preachy. Everyone's response was to congratulate me on quitting smoking. One of my colleagues, a pack a day smoker for over 40 years, ended up switching to cigalikes based on my success story. Hey, whatever works!
I use three different tanks with my ProVari, each one having distinctly different characteristics - the Russian 91%, an Aspire Nautilus and a Kir Fanis Prive Special. The Kir Fanis was my favorite tank prior to discovering the Russian, but it ate through e-liquid like it hasn't had a drink of water in a few days. Needless to say, all three tanks have different ohmages. Luckily, it's easy to find each one's sweet spot.
By the way, don't forget to PM me your addy.
I've been asked the same thing but in my 'hood, that would be a natural question. I still give the incredulous look....not all of us get down like that!
And if it's not that stuff then it must be a Hooka (hope ECF doesn't filter that word cause in the real world you'd be surprise how many people don't think ecig when they see vapor).
In the beginning I didn't mind answering question -- felt like I was teaching, informing, possibly coverting....then I got tired.
It's important to know that where you come from & where you live has a huge impact on your own vaping & what others perceive.
The few people who ask me now about vaping are the folks I run into when I'm buying sunglasses- they're used to it cause they never see me without it & always want to know what flavor I'm rockin' this time.

If someone's willing to listen, I'm very happy to help them. I wrote just over a week ago about how I gave a Provari P2.5 and a Nautilus system to the cable guy who really wants to quit smoking. But when people are negative and have closed ears, I no longer say much when they tell me vaping is worse than smoking. Their minds are made up and I truly believe they've convinced themselves they can't [or don't want to] quit smoking.
To add to what you said, not only do they think they can't quit but they also get squirrely about the cost. People assume it's going to cost them an arm/leg so rather than think about upfront cost they'll resolve it by buying a pack of cigarettes instead.
Last week I gave away my eGrip to a social worker that comes to my house each week. She said she really wants to quit smoking but didn't have the nerve to ask me questions. She'd watch me vape but was looking at what I was using & had already convinced herself it wasn't in her budget.
Many people don't have a clue you can start off small & it's not necessary to spend a few hundred dollars to quit smoking.

You can buy enough vape stuff to get started for what a carton of cigs cost. And within a month or two you will have saved enough from quitting smokes to go buy top shelf vape gear. From there, it's all gravy (unless you make a hobby of it).
I recently had some clown (a complete stranger, mind you) tell me that by vaping, I am still smoking. When I attempted to explain the difference to him, he started getting loud. I just rolled my eyes at him, shook my head and walked away.
a while ago I went to the state fair. I was searching for gapers so I could walk up to them ,with a holier than thou attitude, and proclaim that's much worse than smoking then whip out a provari. thousands of people but could I find one vaping? no. the search continues.
When i tried to quit using patches it cost me over $300 a month. Gum $400 a month, inhaler $200 to start and $200+ after that. Vaping is cheap by comparison.
Did I miss sumpin? Are you getting a Radius afterall?
