Aside from the vapers at my B&M, I saw one. I was at a Billiard club and went to ask the bouncer if vaping was ok inside. He proceeded to take his ego t with a ce4 on top to show me. Then said the owner doesn't like it, but since I had a table at the back that I should just stealth vape and I'll be fine. Cool guy. He did however think my VMOD was more "manly" than his green ego t.
I had to google what chortle meant lol. That guy probably yells at kids that are 50 feet from his lawn.
I guess I'm spoiled in this, it's rare that a day goes by without me spotting a vaper. I wait tables and tend bar at a restaurant/comedy club on Marco Island. It's a weird mix of rich locals and tourists from all over the country, and I've seen folks of all ages and walks of life vaping, more than a few of which are affluent retirees (I suspect this trend is part of what's keeping this oh so republican area so vape friendly). Almost all are using eGo setups of one form or another, I see very few cigalikes. At least five vapers among my coworkers, including my friend who's inheriting my original starter kit. They don't allow smoke breaks anymore, but do let us vape as long as it's not in front of the customers. I've been having a blast showing off my new MVP to every vaper I see, talking about juices, comparing tanks and such.
I've noticed quite a few other e-cig users in public. A lot of blu and other small device users but I've seen a few people with larger mods and ego style batteries. I always enjoy talking with others that have switched over to vaping.
Crimson Jack, I'm grew up on Fort Myers Beach, and lived in Fort Myers and Cape Coral for a long time. Marco Island isn't far from there. From what I've read/heard, vaping has BLOWN UP in SW Florida. Ten to twelve B&M's in Lee County!
My parents and I used to go to FMB every summer. Used to stay at the Neptune Inn. We lived on the east cost in Hollywood. I remember collecting sand dollars, sticking my hands in the sand and sering those little tiny clams. Also those bug type creatures that would burrow.

EricHill78, I like you from the interaction we have had on this forum and think you are a cool dude.
That being said.....
I would bust your bolas if I saw you riding the grocery Hover-round. Not judge you, but do what bros do with bros and relentlessly make fun of you for being on that.
Then I would get one and races, demolition, and potential misdemeanors would ensue.

Last one I saw was M, he was running the seatbelt/sobriety check out on 32 last time I went to town. (yes he's my sheriff cousin in law that I turned on to vaping.)
Not uncommon to see them here, though being a small town, I know most of them by name at least.

Add me to the list of having never seen a vaper in the wild outside of visiting the local B&M.
My ex lived in Jonesboro. We took a weekend trip to Memphis to see Graceland. Was awesome.
I live in Naples and commute to Marco (if you work there, chances are you can't afford to live there), and there's now 6 or 7 shops in Naples, too. Lived in Ft. Myers for years, and Cape Coral for a short time when I first moved down from Boston. Love that it's taking off so well here.
Yeah, sand fleas. Creepy lil buggers, but they make good bait!
I know where the Neptune Inn was. My grandparents ran the Suncaper Condominium on the southern end of the island. My stepfather ran Fish Tail Marina there, too. He was part of the Tarpin Hunter's Club... He took me out into deep Gulf waters to catch my first tarpin... Snagged one, tried to reel it in... I was only 11. He had to take over. It took him four hours and a six-pack o' PBR to reel that sucker in for me.
He used to give us kids HUGE chunks and blocks of Styrofoam that they used to store boats on. We'd take those chunks and hammer two-by-fours over them to make makeshift rafts. Took those out to the mangrove islands to smoke cigarettes, look at Playboys, and cuss.
Somewhere on Beach Elementary School's campus, my name is carved in cement. Each fifth grade class got a new chunk of pavement added to the school, and each class got to write all their names in it.
I could keep going but I'm getting vaclempt.

A few months back at our local walmart, I saw a woman using a cigalike. I had to say something.. "are you using an electric cigarette?" she was an older lady and was vaping on 2 (2!!) at the same time! LOL She said one wasn't enough to satisfy her. It was funny watching her with 2 at the same time. Of course I had to show her my stuff and she was blown away by the amount of vapor. She said she got her stuff at walmart. I gave her a card with some web sites on it (here, crystalclearvaping, madvapes and tasteyourjuice) and my phone number and told her to call me if she and her husband needed or wanted any help.
I also saw some people vaping in a park in Wash DC back at easter. Again (of course) I had to run over to talk to them. I think I scared them LOL. they were using some funky looking slim batts that I've never seen.
