...... and don't get me wrong guys, I don't mind helping people and giving advice, but when I get overwhelmed with people constantly asking questions and almost creating a scene around me on a daily basis I get pretty ...... off. I'm anti-social as it is ... lol Even when I give out business cards and tell them where to look, the questions just keep pouring in.

What really pisses me off is when someone hounds me for long periods of time like days or weeks and they keep smoking. Why bother me and get all this info only to keep smoking and show no interest in actually trying it out?

I think the problem is the city I live in ....... the only true vapors I know here are my wife and myself. I should start selling this ..... I'll be a millionaire!! ... lol

Woody, I must be bumping into people you've already talked to 'cause I've been asked "Is that a crack pipe your smoking?" :laugh:

Definitely it can get tiresome sometime but I feel pretty good about taking the time to tell people about it. I've lost count of people I've converted to the vape side. Our 'smoking' section at work is growing with more and more vapors.

I'm at the point where I got tired of the disruption of 'my time', so depending on my mood I'll just tell them its my inhaler and get back to my relaxing. It also depends on their approach as I'm 'generally' a helpful person when I want to be, but most times I'll just pass them an ECF card and say to look into it where there all tons of people that are willing to help them out.

It also helps that appearance wise I look like I'm not that approachable in the first place.

Okay so I will mention this but will still be fearful of the mods as I will be on a fine line here and dont want to start something but....

Am I the only one that gets questioned because they thought it was a different kind of vaporizer? (the kind for the green stuff).
I mainly get it when I use the reo's out in public

They banned vaping at my college campus, along with cigarettes. I am still shocked that they had the foresight to write that into the code. It is also based on non-facts, since it is not harmful. Funny, my school's specialty is the hard sciences.

It's a lot more common and open in the US so it makes sense that places would start to write that in their code of conduct.
I'm sure you will start to see it in employee hand books too

I'd imagine that anyone familiar with, say, an MFLB, might mistake a woodvil or other wood box mod for one.

Usually in the smoking area of a bar there's always someone who asks if it's for that.

So yeah ....... To be honest I'm getting sick of people bugging the .... out of me about ecigs. Everywhere I go I have to explain to someone what this thing is I'm sucking on. When I'm at work it just doesn't stop!! "Where can I get one of those" "the hell is that?" "What does it do?" "does it have nicotine?" "why not just smoke?" "can you order me one of those?" .........
I've been courteous and helpful to people for a long time. I've ordered stuff for people and dealt with the noob questions "I burnt this, can you fix it?" "Can I place another order through you? - I don't want to do it myself"

No more!! Just yesterday a guy asked me what I was smoking. I told him it's a device that controls my diabetes. He's like "wow! That's high tech" ..... omfg!!

Hateful?? ..... some may think that. Not me, I just wanna vape in peace man. As long as my wife and I stay on the vape wagon I could care less about other people vaping or not. From now on my response is going to be "Look it up on the net man, it's great stuff!".

Sorry for the rant. I just had to get that off my chest ;)

Vape on!!

Next time tell them it is a Anti-Misquote device, and creates a aroma that attracts the Norwegian snow kitties get really wild with what you say.

Personally i have gotten to the point i tell them that my name is Wolfe, that i was bitten by a rabbit werewolf with i was ten, and i am using my device much like blade had his serum. Then laugh as they give me a very wide birth around me
