Make them enforce that with the tea kettle too...or stub it out on you forehead...they'll get the picture..alternately you can be less dramatic and just explain the vapor to them..
Well, reading what other folks have said in the e-cigs in public forum section, I think I'll go with "It's a nicotine inhaler that's helping me to quit smoking - look, it's not even smoke, just vapor."
I think the word "vaporizer" sounds a bit too much like I'm trying to score a fix, while "inhaler" sounds all medicinal. I work in academia, so I'm thinking my fellow dorks in the department will actually find it quite the novelty, rather than mistakenly chastise me for polluting their air...at least I know my officemate will, anyway.
Good stuff. I actually live in the US, though...contrary to what some people think, New Mexico is not actually a part of Mexico. I've already ordered a wide variety of 3 ml samples from Vermont Vapor (including "tobacco"), and the 510 disposable also comes with a couple of the "Marl" cartridges. That in itself should be an interesting test of PG vs VG...
