Shopping Mall - Restaurant - Movies

[newb]

I been vaping since the 19th.. The first day, I went to the mall with my wife to shop for gifts.. I stopped a security guard in the mall to ask if I can vape inside the halls and stores and they okayed it..

I then went to a restaurant which is in one of those retail / condo new development areas and vaped in public... Suprisingly, the people around me were not complaining but rather asking what is that and giggling at the green LED when I was drawing vapor lol..

Finally, I went to see a movie the same night after diner and sat away from the projector so the vapor cloud would not cause a problem with the movie.. someone tried to complain and a manager came in to try and see who is "Smoking"... the movie kinda sucked so I went ahead and vaped thinking to myself I wouldnt care if i got kicked out.. So he seen the LED and knew what it was right away and just left.. I wish I knew who snitched so I can see the look on his or her face lol ...

Ah yes, sitting in the central seats, under the projector and vaping huge clouds could be annoying anyway I agree
In that specific case I could also agree with people complaining eheh
perhaps it's one of the few actual cases where vaping can be actually annoying (I couldn't think of others right now..)

Unless you were there the opening night of The Wall. Talk about a contact high......

I vaped while seeing Avatar last night...with my new XHLAER no less! I did it 'stealth' style and held the vapor in my lungs for a few ticks so there was minimal vapor.

That would be awesome vaping in the movie theatre, need to try that some time

Well, as much as I would enjoy vaping in the movie theatre I can't help but think about how ANNOYING I find it when people flip open a cell phone etc.. I HATE the distraction of anything lighting up in the dark theatre. Anyone who uses ANYTHING that lights up is......well.....pretty much a total jerk So unless you can be sure your PV is not creating ANY light whatsoever DON'T use it!!!! As far as creating vapor goes, I would say if you are creating a noticeable vapor cloud-even if you manage to hide the LED then.....well....you are still pretty much a jerk. Sorry if I piss anyone off. Just IMHO.

Me and my husband vaped in the theater for the first time recently. We sat in the very back corner so we could vape and no one would know.

I just stuck my PV down my sleeve so the light would not be seen and blew the vapor to the side and behind me so no one would see it. It was really easy to hide.

lol...yer right. The XHALER has no light and I was sitting at the very back, so there was no one behind me.

I was a "mindful" analong smoker and I'm a "mindful" vaper - meaning, I'm not looking for attention and don't create huge billows of vapor just 'cause I can.

I agree with you on creating a noticeable vapor cloud in a theater. ....lol...I'm one of those people that HATE talkers, texters, and crying babies in theaters.

I vape freely in the mall ... never had a problem. I stealth vape at the movies - again, no problems. And in a restaurant ... I generally avoid it. I've done it - openly & stealth style, but tend to hold-off while dining. But - I never smoked while eating so it's pretty natural to avoid vaping in a restaurant.

I must be feeling pretty ancient right about now. I remember when it was perfectly acceptable to smoke analogs in movie theaters!

Sometimes we'd bring in our own booze and "stealth" drink too!8-o

Wasn't too long ago you could smoke in that cafeteria car on an Amtrak train. The door would open to a 12' x 8' glass room and a wall of smoke and ashtray smell would hit you like a Mack truck when you walked in. 5 minutes after returning to your seat you couldn't wait to go back.

Oh, oh! I have another one or two! Remember when you could smoke at the doctor's office? Or how about the waiting room at the hospital?

 

[Turco Chips]

Hell...I 'member being able to smoke on a plane! ....'member?...you 'member!

I remember smoking IN the hospital, as a patient!!!

 

[Thyestean]

ahhh the good ol days lol

I remember smoking on an Amtrak train in the designated smoking car (people scrambled to get a seat in there before it filled up!), but by the time I ever flew anywhere, flights were all non-smoking. Now I vape, though, so I don't care

When it comes to public places, like the mall and restaurants and stuff, I usually just pop into the bathroom to use my e-cig. Oh but I did vape in the dressing room at Old Navy the other day. And I've vaped while browsing various stores before, but I'm stealthy about it. I cover the light, hold the vapor in a little longer and blow it downward. I think if anyone even noticed, the vapor was gone before their brain could even register that they saw something

I've been wondering about movie theaters. I haven't actually been to the movies since I quit analogs, but next time I go, I'm going to want to vape at my seat. I think I can be stealthy enough that no one will see the LED or any vapor. Good to know some have already done it, though.

Ah yes, I remember, too. The golden years . I think it's ok to vape at a theater, but I also think it should be in stealth mode. We vape to get our nic, not to be buttholes. Respect can go far in helping win over public opinion toward ecigs .

Went to see avatar two days back, a regular hot dog was $7.50 ,the "black angus" hot dog $8.00.At those prices they should have crowd ordered intermissions and a seat ushers too.

Now-a-days, I'll just wait for it to come out on DVD, or d/l it online. I've never really liked movie theaters, wish drive-in's had never disappeared.
