the first time I went to my hairstylist, I mentioned that I vaped and was hoping my grey hair would not have that yellow streak pretty soon. 4 sylists in the salon were vapors. I went to a shoe store to look for a case to hold my ecigs, mentioned to the girl why I wanted a cigarette case (hard to find these days) and she said she vaped. someone brought a rescue dog to my house, saw my ego on the table...he vapes.
but I never see anyone vaping, just found out by having conversations

I would have a panic attack if I left home without my pv!:ohmy:
My only run in with a random vapor was in my car at a stop light...lol. They saw me vaping away and didn't have theirs with them and was like "ohhh gimme some & wish i had my pv"....lol. Apparently they don't bring theirs to work.

I've met several in my area, but I used to work in an ecig retail store and got most of them started with vaping lol

I do see a random vaper now and then though. Had a post a few days ago about a woman in line ahead of me at walmart that saw me take a puff on mine. We started comparing notes and caught the attention of another woman. I spoke at length with her as her son smokes and she was off to send him to the forum for more info.

The only other vapers I have seen IRL are the two I have converted so far... one with an eGo-T kit and one with a Lavatube, both of which I got into vaping, I was the first of the people I know/have seen.

I didn't see them, but apparently a customer used one (some cigarette looking model) in my workplace, which prompted another customer to think smoking was allowed and lit up a regular cigarette. After that incident the company decided to not allow ecigs inside the building, before that I was vaping in the break room, now I have to go outside and actually inhale other peoples second hand smoke... not too happy about that but even with being around them I haven't had a craving for a cigarette since I started vaping a month and a half ago and I'll respect my company's decision.

My story is that, after seeing 3 different people vaping outside my office building, I decided it was time to hit up Google and try to find out what they were smoking. Wasn't planning to quit analogs at the time, was just curious. Long story short, I came across ECF, became enthralled, ordered some gear and haven't touched a single cigarette since.

So thank you to the strangers who vaped in public!

I've never seen another person vaping, I do know a couple of others who do, but only through conversations with them (normally from me vaping in public).

I've never been hassled for vaping anywhere though, and I tend to just vape anywhere these days lol.

I know what you mean.....I was nervous and cautious at first, but lately I just don't give a shiat and I vape all around downtown TO.....on the GO train (stealthly, though), in the PATH, at work, I just had lunch in the Eaton Centre and vaped all the way in to the Urban Eatery in crowds of people......It still amazes me sometimes how hardly anyone even looks, let alone says anything.

I'm amazed as well how I can vape in places and almost no one seems to notice. Dj'd the other night in a bar and vaped the entire time. A little careful about doing it in places like the TTC because I figure someone will come running out to arrest me :).

wait.... were you the DJ playing @ The Local friday night?

The DJ looked to be vaping on an 801 type e-cig,
I was vaping on my precise, but the GF was getting pissy... She dislikes the attention that i get from it, even though it is mostly positive.

She: :ohmy:OMG do you ever put that thing away.
Me: :pLook! Even the DJ is using hers!
She: :mad:Isac... I can't ever take you anywhere...
Me: :closedeyes:stealth vaping the rest of the night...
