I haven't gotten the nerve to pull it out in public yet. I have only had it a few days though. I have the mini that looks like an analog too.

I'm not saying what you did was wrong, but this is how the public's perception of smokers gets skewed. From a distance maybe someone thought you were having an analog. I would be ...... if I were in a non smoking setting and someone lit up.
Kind of like someone taking a handicap parking space without being handicapped.
Hopefully one day the NO SMOKING signs will be replaced with VAPORS WELCOME.

I vape in public all the time. There are 3 bars in my city that I am aware of that allow the use of e-cigs and I spend time at all 3 of them.
I have also vaped in bars where I wasn't certain about their rules and have yet to have anyone get snotty with me or call the cops.
I do, though, make it a point to see if I can speak with the manager of an establishment before I start vaping. I like to make sure it's ok with them before I just start puffing.
Thus far I haven't been refused. Most people are very curious about it and enjoy the concept.

You got lucky. I got pulled over driving down the road by an officer so confused by the blue light and smoke he swore to every known deity that I had a high-tech drug pipe. It took almost two hours for him to search me, the penstyle and my car before i could explain to him what it was.
In retrospect I cant blame the guy, but it was rather annoying.

This is what I am afraid of. Many years ago, I had a pipe that looked like the super mini.
and thats why i bought a 401... so no cops could jack with me about a "high tech pipe" which im still waiting on ....STEVE....(still in processing limbo since friday 8 am)
I smoke mine in the car all the time, blue light and all. I do get some strange looks but it doesn't bother me.
No cops yet. Although I think i'll be alright since I know most of them in my town.

I think I missed the jokeI have one unused sitting here on the book shelf, but there is 9V on one end and 100.000V on the other. Any ideas how to get 3.6V out of that?
It is also the type combined with inbuilt pepper spray, so throat hit will be no problem whatsoever
At least you had a smart cop. Mine was a dumb .... Today I was approached by a cop for smoking. I explained what was it, showed him the battery, the atomizer and the cartridge and in return I got a fine. 25euros for smoking in a no smoking zone.
Call me a chicken but I vape in my car and up to doors now.. I also will vape inside restrooms but havent vaped anywhere else. I still feel weird vaping indoors, because from the 1st of this year we have only smoked outside.
The worst (or best, if you have a sick sense of humor like I do) part about the story is that the little effer was clearly calling the cops because he didn't want you to enjoy a cigarette. He was not bothered by any smoke. He wasn't at any heightened risk for cancer. He simply felt that as a citizen of a smokeless indoor world, it was his right, his priviledge, to control some aspect of your actions. He got to call the police cops on someone, woooo! that's how I wish I could spend a Friday night, boy.
You should be able to contest that, though I don't know the laws outside of America. Smoking here is defined as having an ignition source, burning, etc. And by all definition it's not smoke, so you can't really get a ticket for something you didn't do..
Then again, that's wrong because I know people who have been ticketed for things they didnt' do. Hell, in perfect honesty I once got a DUI charge and went to jail, though I hadn't drank alcohol in 2 days, and even then it was 1 glass wine. Months since my last drink before then. So as you see, I do not drink. Somehow, the breathilizer still said I had alcohol in my breath and that was when I was a minor. To top that off, I had these terrible blisters on the bottoms of my feet for walking around barefooted in the city, and I couldn't pass their sobriety tests; couldn't even follow the light with my eyes. Kept turning my head. So as you see, the system is flawed for people with unfortunate circumstance :/
I had a similar experience in the New York City subway system (where it is illegal to smoke). I was walking down the platform puffing on my cig when I pass a cop. I just knew that he was going to stop me but I made believe that all was hunky dory and kept walking. Of course, he calls out to me "Excuse me sir" all polite as he was about to write up a summons. I just turned and said "It's not a cigarette". That was the end of it. I love this stuff. I am always waiting for someone to say something to me. Often times, someone accosting me will end up being a customer so I always keep a few extra cigs in the car
.
I have just gotten intrigued looks when out and about, no one has said anything though. I partly wish they would and partly relieved they don't lol. I still vape in smoking areas though, don't want to upset people, besides at work it may be against company policies as it might disrupt others enjoyment of the workplace.
