Reactions To Vaping In Public?

That's so true EvilZoe! East coast of FL here, and I could light an analog on the beach with ease!

I only lived in Galveston for a few years but that's one skill I picked up right away...lol

He's no true smoker then. I can light an analog in the worst hurricane with a match...lol

You learn those things when you live around the Gulf of Mexico for a while.

Nobody says anything, I used it waiting for a Pizza, or chips - nothing - ever. But England is an eccentric culture, just look at the Jaguar, especially The Rolling Stones, Bowie etc. Even at the bus-stop shelter, where it says no smoking, though always vaping in the car but never vape in-front of the wife!

As much as I liked Eddie - I mean really, Jennifer Saunders is a hell of a comedienne - it was always Patsy that did it for me.

I have gotten a wide array of reactions. I have had a few people look at me after I exhale and do the fake cough like it's cigarette smoke. lol. I have incidents where it has sparked great conversation and one time I even took a guy to my local vape shop, and he bought himself a starter kit and started his vaping journey analog free. It will take some time for it to become socially acceptable, but I think it will get there.

When I first started vaping I got this a couple times mostly from elderly women. I them told them it was vapor not smoke. I wonder how many of these people cough like crazy at a Haunted House with all that vapor floating around. lol

We have been here at Disney World since Tuesday. And BOY, have we vaped away! Nothing obnoxious or indoors, of course, but not one person has even looked sideways at us all week. It's SO nice to be able to get off a ride and have a hit right away. We wait until the crowd is not sardine-packed, and just exhale down toward our own body. Easy peasy.

Last night, as we were waiting for a bus, two guys come walking up and exclaim, "Wow! You guys must be from the west coast, right?" We laughed and told them no, we were from Nashville...they couldn't believe they'd spotted vapers in the wild that were from the eastern half of the country.

Disney favorites: Tomorrowland Transit (take two or three trips around for a rest and nice vape session), Food and Wine Festival (go to one of the many nooks and find a curb...get a drink first!), Tusker Bar at Animal Kingdom (tables along the wall beyond the stroller parking are perfect...and there's a BAR!), absolutely anywhere in Downtown Disney.

Islands of Adventure favorites: the post curbs under the Hulk coaster (while the more daring ones ride over and over), and the patio behind the Three Broomsticks was PERFECT.

Most of my "public" vaping is at work (because I have no life), and most of it occurs out on the smoking patio (though I do steal the occasional stealth puff here and there at my desk) and while it's not unheard of around here(there are a few vapers who preceded me), I have been creating a steady stream of new recruits in my wake. One of my coworkers jokingly refers to them as my "vape army" (he's one of them). Although I'm not the oldest vaper on the block, I appear to be the most vocal, and thus I am constantly consulted about where to get one, what flavors are good, troubleshooting their rigs and such. I find myself rather amused by the whole situation.
