The company I work for like to go out of it's way to treat it's worker like dirt so I keep my head down and keep this in my pocket.

I feel lucky as almost everyone knows anything about vaping at my job....our president was talking to me at my desk and I dropped something on the floor....I felt so guilty that my spinner was poking out of my pocket when I sat up and told (her) as I held it that I quit smoking and this is my (helper) vaping device....she said "yeah yeah yeah" and kept talking to me. My manager alway bummed smokes from me and went to smoke with me (he is a closet smoker)..when I told him I was vaping he said in front of my coworkers "vape at your desk if you want". :toast: Someone came in from the shop and the sun was shinning in on me and I just vaped...he said "Terry your on fire" :laugh:

What's funny about this is that I work in a warehouse environment. No customers anywhere in sight. No flammables. My immediate supervisor is cool and so is the person above him. But there's a plant manager that oversees several buildings and he's a complete ...... about it. Absolutely not another soul had an issue with it. Oh-well. I just sneak off to the restroom or duck to sneak one in, haha.

I have to join the smokers in the smoking area, so I go back in smelling like a cigarette :( I do take mine into the restroom, though.
i have to go outside with the smokers too. Only good thing about it is that it is nice to chit chat with coworkers who smoke vs. vaping alone. one major plus is 3 different coworkers have taken up vaping after seeing me and asking me about it. power of example i suppose

I can vape at work but not in front of the customers which I agree with. When smoking was allowed indoors, employees were never allowed to smoke in front of customers so I don't see why that would be any different with vaping even though its 'not smoking.' When there are no customers in the building I can vape as I please and when they are in the building I have to go outside when I have some down time.

My employer has no problem with vaping. Unfortunately, our building is equipped with very sensitive smoke detectors that will go off when vapor reaches them (my employer told me to try it on a day when they were undergoing scheduled maintenance.) He told me he would have no problem with vaping in the building if they didn't set the detectors off. So I now can only vape during breaks outside with the "smokers."
 
Someone said. Who's eating pancakes!?! It was only my buddy vaping on some waffle maple liquid. That day we got a company wide email. "No vaping in office" they never said anything about my fruity stealth vapes. They actually comment on how nice it smells?!? I actually enjoy going outside to vape. It's like going through the motions of smoking but vaping.

Vaping in the office was the idea of my non-smoking boss. I had just switched to vaping and had also busted my knee. I was about to hobble outside to vape when my boss said: Why? You've got that ecig now, you don't have to go outside, you can use that in the office. It's been 2 years now and I still vape in the office all the time. The boss doesn't mind at all. He even likes to interupt my workday when I get new equipment just so I can show him how everything works LOL
