Luckily I know most of the cops in my area from working at a local bar. Best to keep some info on you though for those that don't know.

While I think anyone who pulls up to a random person and yells that they're calling the cops is not very smart... Is anyone honestly surprised that some people who aren't familiar with vaping and have never heard of a "PV" or a "mod" or an "rba" see someone putting something to their face that is NOT a cigarette or a cigar and then watch "smoke" come out, assume it's something else?
Thankfully, these devices are becoming more and more mainstream, so we hopefully won't have to deal with this for much longer. But please do us all a favor and don't default to vitriol and assume someone is an idiot because they aren't familiar with your esoteric hobby devices.

There are more busy bodies that will annoy you more then police that will give you any issues. If you show the officer what it is, they will not be concerned. The police are just investigating a complaint.
I would to know more about this story the OP told us.

Wow. I vape in my car like a chimney. I even hot box it and have always been concerned about cops or someone reporting me for using drug paraphernalia. The setup my husband got me I would have to go to court and fight for if that ever happened. Sorry to hear about your incident. Not may people know about these devices as the general public is just barely getting exposed and may be the reason why the police confiscated your setup because they were unsure.
always good to know a few are around that like to educate themselves about new things that they need to know about.
You gotta be kidding! So if they see a nurse with a hemostat that resemble a (ahem) clip, they can take it? Or a pipe that resembles something that someone might smoke something else in? Or what about a bum with roll-your-own tobacco? Oh, wait. You're in NYC. Well, maybe you'll get a decent mayor one of these years.
you wouldn't have to go to court to fight for it if you didn't let them take it in the first place...
just because it "looks" like something illegal is not proof of anything illegal...it is reasonable cause to investigate and confirm/deny in my opinion but not *take* just because they are uneducated.
that is like taking a diabetic's kit because you *could* use it for something else.....
p.s. i am in moorpark
HAHA, now that you mentioned that, The other half and I were riding home from a restaurant the other day, and he tried to take his insulin at a stop light, and the light changed, so he's driving down the street holding a syringe, and I'm vaping away on an MVP box... I was just waiting for blue lights...

ok that is just comedy right there LOL
I have had this happen to friends. I am new to this and feel somewhat nervous about vaping in public.
Uh, is this going to be one of those, "He implied..." vs, "No, you inferred..." convos
I have a solution. Make a Mod that looks like a carrot. Greens attached optional.
how about a mutant squash?

I would go to cort and get all my gear back. If I ever would get pulled over, I would ask the cop to take me in for a drug test, just so I have a proof that there is nothing illegal in my system!
