Question for the ladies here

[Baditude]

Point taken. I have been drawn to those tiny things myself. Don't tell anyone, but I vape in the bathroom at school. I justify it by telling myself the smell of my melon juice has to be better than any other smell that is going on there, haha

I can relate to that. Me and another vaper used to stealth vape in the locker dressing room at the hospital (no smoking/vaping on the entire campus). A co-worker who didn't smoke/vape often would tell me that he liked when we vaped because the locker room never smelled so good.

I used to vape in bathrooms, then I decided it was gross. I stopped stealth vaping, period. Whether I am in the local Walmart, near a staff member, or whether I am in the movie theater, I just vape. I try to stay away from other "eaters" in the movie theater, but the overwhelming smells of popcorn and skittles are FAR less invasive than my vape, if you ask me. My Walmart either doesn't care, or the staff give me a free pass because they still want to hire me (LOL, I use the self checkout lanes, it's faster) but so far, my giving up the "stealth" vape has reaped me 0 consequences.

Oh, at the gem show, some security person told me to not vape as the "fire marshal" had deemed it unsafe. It was a TENT. But in any case, I wasn't vaping it at the time, just carrying it. AZ just... really doesn't care about some stuff, and I think vaping may be part of it.

Vaping in the school bathroom as a teacher? IDK, I hope they have a one written warning before being fired policy. That's the only reason I would vape indoors at work, when I dual used. Really, no one cared, but if someone BEGAN to care, I knew I would get a warning before being fired.

I kind of look at my lack of stealth vaping as activism though, because if someone ever gets upset about it, I will cease, but also inform them as to WHY it's fine. I really don't like skulking around in bathrooms, it's not HS anymore.... LOL.

Thanks to everyone who replied on this thread. And to you women, you are all really really cool. So thank you. At his point, the best I have seen so far is the Pico. It's tiny (she hates my big G-Priv and especially hates my 26650 mech mods), more than enough power and it even comes in pink. She's a total girly girl and loves everything pink.

You should get some lemonade juice so you can blame any smell on the cleaning products used in there. /nod

I'm a student. Not a teacher.. Does that get me a pass [emoji23]

Mostly I just go out in the parking lot or in my car. The security guard doesn't seem to care one way or the other.

That's way better than my idea of vaping urine flavored juice to blend in with the natural smells of the place.

Ladies, this also works for you with your man. Pay attention!

lol People keep voting this funny but it's true! Sometimes it's the wife who sucks at buying things. For her 40th birthday, I bought my wife a grand piano and had rose petals leading from the front door to the piano. She'd wanted one her entire life. She loved it. She cried. A few years later, for my 40th she got me some socks and a copy of Left Behind 2. Left Behind 2!?!?! I never even watched Left Behind 1! Did she think I wanted some sort of bromance with Kirk Cameron? What the *&^.%?? How hard it is to remember Ducati? Nothing else sounds like Ducati! How do you confuse a Ducati with Left Behind 2? Almost 29 years in and the woman can't buy a present to save her life. Even when I say "I'd really like one of these" its pretty much a guarantee I won't get one of those. If I say "Just get me a Starbucks gift card" its pretty much a guarantee I'll get a bag of Dunkin Donuts coffee.

She could have gotten you a duck and an atty, at least that comes pretty close and would certainly top left behind 2

 

[HauntedMyst]

A load of McNuggets would have beat Left Behind 2.

Well at least she buys you something. I usually have to go buy my own present. Although at least that way I know I will like what I get. In her defense though, I am not a person to want for much anyway.

Yeah, after the 40th, I buy my own gifts. My love language is gifts and she doesn't speak it. She is gifted at so many things but that isn't one of them. I do all the birthday and Christmas shopping. To be fair, other than the piano, she's never wanted much. Jewelry and other baubles means nothing to her. Her one indulgence is design decorating and she does a spectacular job of it.

My husband loves stuff that is sometimes out of my wheelhouse. Sometimes I'm not even clear what it does exactly. He has a compass thingy I bought him that he can figure the height of things from some distance, I think. Lol... it's got azimuth and altitude.. Suunto Tandem/360PC/360R DG Clino/Compass - Compass & clinometer

We aren't often in those areas where they sell these types of exciting things together, and I'm fairly certain he'd look at me funny if I was passing by a store that sold exciting things for him and said, oh look honey let's go window shopping there!

Here's what I do... if it's pricey and I can't figure out what it does? I know for a fact he will want it..

And when I run out of ideas, I make him give me a working gift list that I can pull up from our shared files at any time and be able to purchase off it and get him something he will like.. if he buys off it he removes the purchase, if I purchase from it, I remove whatever it is..

It's not as exciting, but I can't always run into things all by myself that is pricey and has no apparent purpose..

But trust me, that lack of excitement and surprise is the same as going into stores with him I'd never otherwise shop in and pretend there was something there I was interested in.... it's not really an imaginative leap that I just lied about my reason for going.. lol

You have a system!

 

[ImThatGuy]

Since she's still your girlfriend, you haven't amounted to the experience that comes with long commitments.

On that note; let her pick and choose. Your first and our forever mistake is to decide for our partners.

If this woman isn't a vaper then what she might like is a non-starter. she might pick out something based on looks alone that is complete crap and be turned off from vaping forever.

That is where the OP has the right idea... ask women vapers what they like and pick from that pool.. at least then you get a pool of decent, women friendly mods to choose from, knowing that her first experience with vaping is more likely than not to be a positive experience, even if she decides later she might like something different.

 

[stols001]

Yeah, it's a tricky one to be sure, but I think the OP landed on a good solution, for sure. I think she will like our setup.

My husband asked for a LOT of rocks for Christmas. Rocks (in the amount he wants) are so expensive! I will have to save up, LOL.

Anna

 

[HauntedMyst]

Dont you live in the middle of a lot of rocks Anna?

 

[stols001]

Yes, but you'd be surprised. The husband does a lot of stonework and dug all the rocks out of our yard to do it (we live on an acre) but now the solution would have to be stealing said rocks from state or national parks, or whatev. and he really wants a GIGANTIC pile of them. Ironically we live very close to a mine, and the guys there... You gotta go, tell them how many backhoe or whatever that machine is called that scoops up rocks, in cash, and they will then deliver (if you can get past the language barrier) but they're not CHEAP, LOL, especially in the quantities he wants. I refuse to get them until he fixes the roof. We need about 4 pallets of shingles and (ideally) roofers, but no, the husband says he is going to do it.

Maybe then I will buy him $600 worth of rocks. He's got... plans. Like, we have a little fire pit and he wants to build it up into a fire CHIMNEY that's huge and well, our entire yard is covered with stonework . Lemme see if I can find the PIC, LOL.

Some of the stonework....

LOL, I vape in bathrooms all the time. I also vape in server rooms, empty offices or any other place where there is no one in the room but me unless I'm in a server room with one of my staff. They don't care if I vape. But usually anywhere else I go in public, someone will complain. And they don't just politely ask me to stop. Some of them cry like little babies telling me I'll kill them. Actually not everyone does that, but a few have.

I was at one of my clients one day and went outside to vape. There is a school next door and they were just getting out. There was a line of at least 20 cars just sitting there idling their engines while they waited for the kids. I was about 20 yards away and the teacher that was helping the kids out looked at me and hollered, "You cannot do that around here. It's dangerous for the children." I laughed and said OK, then walked around the building to vape. But that's just the ignorance that some have about vaping. They have no problem letting the kids inhale exhaust from 20 cars idling away, but they have no problem telling a vaper to stop giviing the children cancer. Lol. But it all worked out in the end because that school is now a client of mine. So now they pay me to go outside and vape around the other side of the building so they don't see me vaping!!! I like it.

Anna, my dear, I don't know how to break this to you. Your husband is obviously an alien and he is building a landing site for the alien invasion troop transport ship. There is lots of evidence in this pic, starting with the hand with 3 fingers and 2 thumbs.
