Sneaky vaping?

This reminded me of a funny situation that occurred at the movies. My boyfriend and I were inside at the Kiosk buying out tickets when out of the corner of my eye I see him taking a puff like nothing and exhaling. I turned and looked at him like ... are you doing babe! and right when I looked at him he realized what he had just done! He totally forgot where he was at that moment and that it was a big No No in a place of business but let me tell you it was funny. I have also caught myself doing the same a few times and then thinking "oh man I hope no one saw that!" looking around all guilty
If I'm outdoors, I vape as much as I like -- it certainly smells better than all the cigarettes being smoked outdoors! And although I've gotten one glare, in the Walmart parking lot, I've gotten a lot more smiles, interested looks, and one guy even commented 'whoah that's a big e-cig!' (it was a Vamo in '350 mode with a cartotank on top), so I stopped and let him look at it, and answered his questions; his last question, and he even prefaced it as being most important -- is it as good as smoking? And of course I answered "BETTER!" I think he might have jumped in his truck and driven straight to the nearest vape shop, he was so interested!
I think that showing them and using them when we're outdoors is a great way to let people know, this is the wave of the future! I don't really have a problem with not vaping in places like restaurants, but even if I go outside to vape, I WON'T go stand with the smokers; if I wanted to smell that and breathe that poison, I'd still be smoking. But if the weather's foul, I won't go outside, I'll just go sneak a quick vape in the ladies' room. My high-PG ejuice is as good for sneaky vaping as it is for good throat hit.

I keep some snus on hand for situations like that. But yes, I have also done the "stealth vape real quick in the restroom" thing. I wish it didn't need to be like that. I feel like I'm back in high school, smoking Newports in the men's room. /:
I openly stealth vape. I don't try at all to hide my mod, but I do hold my breath so no vapor is visible.
I snus at work and have for years. Doctor wanted me to start smoking again to get off of the snus. That is when I started vaping. I vape in my car and at home (outside) and snus at work. I went from a tin every two days to one every week and a half.
I attend college at a tobacco free campus and stealth-vape between classes in the restroom. I just do a double inhale and hold it in, virtually no vapor is exhaled. I also use a higher mg nic when I'm out an about for that reason, can get a quick nic fix and be on my way 
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.

drug addicts?
I'm glad I'm not the only one that vapes in public! I have a newfound love for public restrooms. I'm actually relieved to find out that I didn't invent the "hold it in till it's gone" method. I've felt so guilty thinking I was the only one desperate enough to seek out sneaky solutions!

I haven't thought I *wasn't* a drug addict in about 30 yrs. What's your point?

It's extremely difficult in my job for me to get away to go outside to vape. I'm an extremely busy cook, so if it isn't orders from the restaurant it's any of a number of production tasks. So when I need to stealth vape I divert into the walk-in deep freeze for a quick puff of something that doesn't leave a terribly obvious lingering odor. It's not ideal, but on the other hand it's definitely not something that could be done with cigarettes for a number of reasons.
And yes, I wash my hands. Constantly.

Holding it in and blowing down (out of direct eyesight) seems to work the best for me.
I stealth at work with a Microstick and high PG liquid. Not often, but a few times a day; a few drags each time. My boss knows and doesn't care as long as I don't make trouble for him by getting caught and turned in to HR. I use to vape at my desk (for almost 2 years) until someone anonymously complained and HR gave my boss an earful.
