Sneaky vaping?

It is sad that we even have to stealth vape in some places. Their forcing us to have to act like we are doing something wrong. Like we are one of them drug addicts who must go hide off in a closet or bathroom stall to get our next fix. I personally hate this. I will respect a business owners rules on vaping in their establishment. I feel the owner has the right. But I also feel like the government doesn't have any right to tell us where we can and can not vape It is a lot better then analogs and isn't hurting those around us. I don't even care for the term Electronic Cigarette. I call it what it is. A vaporizer. I even refer to the crappier cigalikes as such because that is what they are. I avoid vaping in most restaurants. Most of the time I can wait a bit on my nicotine. If I can't I go to the bathroom and vape there. I don't really step outside for it much anymore because I am getting to where I don't want to smell analogs. It's not that I hate the smell. Just right now it makes me really want one. When I am at the movie theater, I will sometimes stealth vape. I have never had anyone complain to me about it in there. First time I did it I was using the cigalike vuse. I covered the light as I hit it and then double inhaled and then exhaled into my shirt. My friend who was sitting right next to me at the time didn't even notice. I have hard time sitting through an entire movie without any nicotine. It is one of several reasons I didn't go see movies in the past. If I am a bar I will of course be vaping. In the town I live in they don't have a smoking ban on bars. Unlike some towns and cities in Indiana that do. Indianapolis actually has one that includes e-cigs. Kokomo is trying to push through one of those for their bars too. They fail to realize these smokers and maybe some vapors will just drive out of town to go to bars. Meaning more drunk drivers on the road for a longer period of time. I also ignore all bans some places like to put in places like at parks. When I was a smoker I would still smoke. As a vapor I will not change on that. I was a respectful smoker when I smoked but I don't like having rights taken away either. Now one outside place I did respect the no smoking rule was at The Zoo. Makes sense cause of the animals. I also respected Amusement Park rules and smoked in smoking sections. Though now that I am vaping I imagine I will vape at both places where I want really. Though I think for the amusement parks I may have to get me something a bit smaller, more compact and definitely more durable for that since it likely will be sitting in my pocket on rides. lol. Unlike cig smoke, the vapor isn't hurting anyone and most people aren't bothered by it. I don't blow it at people either and I am not a cloud chaser. At least not yet. lol. Even if I become one someday I will try to be respectful about it. But I am not going to bend over backwards and just let them take away my rights either. At a certain point a person has to say enough is enough. This is where I draw the line.
My mom has a lot of health issues that mean she's in the hospital for a week or two at a time, 3 or 4 times a year, and as her only child, that means I get to spend a lot of time in hospitals too. In both of the hospitals she may be confined in, her pvt room has its own bathroom, so I go in there to vape, so as not to get into some huge power contest with officious and vape-ignorant nurses. In one of the hospitals, the door is solid, so no problem whatever. In the other, the bathroom door is the lattice-type, so I have to be a bit more careful. Since I vape high-PG anyway, it's not a huge problem; I exhale into the shower stall, to keep it from billowing out the lattices, and that seems to work very well with my thin vapor. By time I'm done vaping and ready to open the door, all the vapor is gone. My mom always thanks me for helping to overwhelm the "hospital odor" with something like Blueberry Muffin. 
It sure beats having to hike a half-mile back to the car where I had to smoke very sneakily to keep some officious parking lot attendant from coming over to throw his weight around about their stupid 'smoke-free campus'.

I do it all the time at work. The smoke alarm goes off on my vape. I use a zenith and a copper stingray with a .2 build. Ive avoided the smoke alarm caise the building isnt pleased when it goes off. Talk about hundreds of people evacuating. Hahah!!
Yep, high PG (80%), unflavored and a double inhale and there's just about no visible vapor and no odor.
A friend in Tampa already had this happen to her as well...I'm SO nervous for this to happen to me...I know I have nothing to feel guilty about but I'm Jewish so it cannot be avoided.

My mother-in-law was hospitalized for a week or so last year and the sneaking off to go smoke thing was horrendous. Not only did we feel guilty for doing it, we smelled like ... every time we came back into her room - must have been so pleasant for her already messed up stomach. Ugh!
I'm so used to not smoking in public buildings that it feels weird to vape in them now! I've done the blow it down my shirt thing but I always feel like I look a bit off my rocker lol!
If you hold it in long enough... and use a higher PG lower VG juice, you don't really have to blow it down your shirt, karonna... if you hold it long enough there is actually NO vapor that even comes out...
I think carrying hankies should make a fashion statement come back.... Don'tcha think? 
I vape in the same room with my non-smoking/vaping co-worker in a corporate office building. Sometimes she asks me to vape particular flavors because they smell good...
I do stealth vape in other situations - but how I do it depends on my mood. Sometimes I'll go to the restroom. Sometimes I hold the vape in a little longer and it simply dissipates. I do the "down the blouse" thing occasionally.

This has worked well for me. Take a paper towel tube, and stuff 10 cotton balls or so in each end of the tube. Make sure you don't just fill it up; leave the empty space in the middle. Blow your vapor through it.
Turns a "competition" cloud into what looks like it came from a Blu.

Awesome I will do that! I'm a newbie so still learning the tricks
I do it all the time. I remember one time in the back of our office in the warehouse where nobody was around puffing away. Someone came back there after a bit. "Why is it so hazy in here?" I played dumb. She kept looking, "does it look hazy in here to you?" me: hmm, didn't notice lol.
I work installing alarm systems and stealth vape all the time, attics, garages, utility rooms. Sure a lot more productive than the old days of "gotta go get a part from the van" and having to sneak a cig. Never had anyone say anything but I have gone back to a room where I've been working and noticed a sweet custard smell.
Some of my co workers vape too. I remember one guy warning me that they would set off smoke detectors. I thought he was crazy since it isn't smoke. I was installing one one day and had to test it. Decided, while no one was around to test that theory. Well, I can attest to the fact that vapor WILL indeed set off the smoke detector. No harm that day since I was testing it, but just know it does set it off. I was directly under it and blew about 2 good puffs into it, so I don't know that normal vaping in the same room would do anything. I have smoke detectors in my house and vape there constantly. Sometimes the living room gets full of vapor. You can really notice when the sun it setting and coming throught the shades. None of my smoke detectors have ever gone off from it.

My 6 year old grandson was visiting me for a week 2 months ago. While he was visiting, I was taking quick vape breaks in my bedroom or garage, as I didn't want him to see me vaping. He never knew that I was a smoker.
One day, as we were sitting on the couch, I got up and told him that I was going to the bathroom. Hehehe . . . I put one of my vaping rigs in the downstairs bathroom that morning. After a well deserved short but satisfying vape break, I went back to continue playing video games with the little guy. Upon sitting down on the couch, my grandson says he is going to the bathroom, now.
Moments later, I heard the flush and then the sound of the faucet and then the quick steps of small feet. As he approached, in an excited voice, he announced, "I want some candy too!" Hahaha haha lmao hahahahahaha ha haha
ETA: I was vaping a mango/lychee mixture. Needless to say, I continued my vaping in the garage for the rest of his visit.
Funny story. Glad to hear you don't vape in front of them. I know some people that will vape in front of their kids . I don't think its a good thing
i did this all through highschool, almost got caught a few times but im pretty sure they didnt know what to do. They were just like well.. is he allowed to do that in here?!?
I can see how that would greatly reduce vapor. But, it hardly seems stealthy to be going aroung breathing into a paper towel tube in public.
