Would have introduced myself, but didn't want to bug ya.

She loves using my PV, sometimes i have to pull it from her death grip. But, when it comes to public places, she gets really uncomfortable. I think it is just that stigma that other people have associated with smoking that bothers her.

But anyways,
If you mix there often, i'll pop my head in next time i'm in the area, and have a drink with a vape. :)

Almost 10 months straight vaping. Met two randoms. First was the sexy lady that turned me onto vaping. She let me try her eGo-T that had strawberry cream in it. She was a hottie, but it turns out she wasn't into males. Oh well.

A couple months ago, I was clouding out our bar and I noticed a woman in the corner puffing on a 510. She said she hated it and I tried to assure her that things get much better but she wasn't interested.

Oh well :(

Hey you def should have come up and had a vape with me! Love to meet other vapers. The gig isn't a regular thing, might do it every 6-8 weeks, not sure yet. I'll PM you if and when. Also hang there once or twice a week.

The Volt is small and doesn't really produce large amounts of vaper so I feel ok about it. One thing that I don't want to do is give the impression that "smoking is allowed" cause I think smokers will start lighting up (it's happened). Also even though I may be smoking something yummy it may not appeal to someone in close vicinity. But yeah I can see how some people can feel self-conscious and not want to attract attention.

I actually recall being at a SwissChalet and looking at, what i thought to be at the time, some one smoking after their meal.
That thought had never left my mind.
He was acting so casual.

Only after i found out about e-cigs did i recall the man having an enjoyable vape after his meal and what he was actually doing.

If he is on here, SwissChalet @ Kipling and Queensway in Toronto... Thanks for planting the seed of curiosity!

To this day, i regret not asking him what he was doing. I would have saved myself an extra year of lung abuse.

Seen 2 in my day - first gentlemen was smoking some crazy Mod that I had never seen before, just walking down the street. Stopped and had a good chat. Next fellow I saw, a couple of months ago - I attempted to strike up a conversation on the delights of of vaping, and he promptly asked me if I wanted to buy some 'dank' - I politely declined, and he instructed me to go !@#$ myself.

I've been at this for about 7 weeks and today was the first time I saw someone else vaping in public. I was getting back in my car after picking up some stuff for my sick GF at shopper's in Brampton and I saw a middle-aged lady get out of her car and it looked like she put a pen in her mouth. As she was walking towards the door, I saw her vape. It was an eGo-T for sure.

How often do you guys run into other vapers?

Heh... when I read up to "Shopper's in Brampton" I very nearly thought you were going to say you saw me. (I live behind the mall so I'm around there frequently.) However, I've yet to see any random people vape. And I know there are some who've tried it judging by the number of SmokeNV disposables I've seen the Petro at Shopper's World sell. Just nobody randomly walking around trying it. Maybe they feel weird so they don't do it publicly.

I met a vaper at work (I sell cell phones) and he had an ego-t in a little pouch around his neck. was vaping green apple or something. He looked like a bit of a hippy.

wonder if that was the guy from evape in Wasaga beach ... it would be a good description of him

Oops, I can see how that could be misunderstood. I actually meant Shoppers Drugmart......at Main and Vodden, not Shoppers World.

Ah, yeah, I know that SDM. Haven't been there in a while though. Either way though it's pretty cool seeing a random stranger puffing in something other than a cheap gas station disposable. (Although I haven't even seen that yet.)
