Q about non-vapors' reaction to battery mods

[Chriss]

Happy Holidays everyone!

I recently received a Chuck and was wondering what kind of reaction smokers gave when they saw large batt mods. I am on a bowling league and have vaped with smokers using my 510 with standard blue light batt. Most were curious about what it was, so I gave them the rundown. This weekend I will be out there with them, with the Chuck and I was wondering what kind of reactions you folks had with large batt mods.

I'm just curious.

I've been seriously trying to get someone to notice me using my juicebox in public, as I take it everywhere I go and vape inside stores of all kinds and the mall, but so far I haven't received the slightest of a stare that I know of. I'm just so excited I want to show it off and tell everyone about it, but nothing yet.

I have had coworkers poke a little fun at me, making references to crack and pipes but no one I do not know has said anything yet.
I have gotten a couple of stares while vaping in the car at a red light. I think people think I am smoking drugs.

I havent gotten the "crack pipe" jokes with my Chuck as of yet, but I HAVE gotten the "looks like a vibrater" joke about my Silver Bullet, lol.

However, IF at all anyone asks abt either one, they have ALL thought it was a great device and happy there is an alternative to smoking cigs that eliminates the harmful second hand smoke and seems alot healthier....most even get the info on where to buy one for themselves or loved ones....

I have a KR808d and I get crack pipe comments all the time. I'm getting a little sick of it.

Crack pipe.

I wear my Prodigy around my neck . . . a friend fashioned it so it could be fitted with a cool Vera Bradley lanyard, bright and colorful, and bound to attract attention.

Surprisingly, I get very few comments. The most interesting one was the guy at Whole Foods who asked if it was a dog whistle. I hate to think what kind of dog you'd call with a whistle that big.

I guess most people don't automatically jump to the "crack pipe" conclusion when dealing with a 47 year old suburban mom type.

LOL, I also use a prodigy. I make it a point to try to draw attention to myself in areas where smoking is not allowed. I blow huge clouds of vapor into the air and flash it around as much as possible. I have told litterly hundreds of people about Ecigs and I have never once been kicked out of anywhere. The way I look at it the more people I can tell about the ecig and the more smokers I can convert the less likely they are to ban them. If you can get someone to quit analogs you have in a very real way help save thier life.

ROFL! I just got my first screwdriver but also ordered an extra 510 for public vaping! I was afraid I would be stopped by the cops and have my 'crack pipe' confiscated!
