Stealth Vaping Advice, Anyone?

Okay, here is the problem. I know good vapor production is a great thing. But sometimes, you need to be invisible. I work in a cubical doing tech support. I want to be able to vape, and get the nic and throat hit, but don't want the boss to see a cloud of vapor hanging over my cubicle.

Any ideas? Would it be a certain mix, an additive, or what? It also occurred to me that such a mixture would also make it easier to vape around people who don't understand the difference between vaping and smoking. I mean, look, it's the cloud of vapor that actually causes the resistance, especially where the smoking bans have added the vaping ban. The visible vapor is basically, special effects. It's psychological. The throat hit and nic rush is enough for certain times and conditions.

Sometimes, being invisible is a good thing. :)

Take a slightly shorter inhale of vapor, hold it, then inhale fresh air rapidly a couple more times without exhaling. Let it out slowly and you will notice very little vapor.

Another option is to keep a cup of water with a lid and straw handy. Blow the vapor through the straw just like you did when you were a kid. This will trap the vapor.

I agree with the OP though that I wish zero vapor liquid was available. There are times when I would like to vape, but with out the aptly noted "special effects." I have seen stealth liquid, but not with many options.

I disagree, nonsmokers have a need to hate, demonize and publicly ridicule you so by reducing that cloud will deny them their meaning in life.If they can not complain about your clouds they might look into the sky and see things in real clouds that make them even crazier.For the love of all that is right, blow clouds their way.
 
go with either 100% PG or hold in extra time as suggested. I was just at the VA hospital and they have a no smoking policy (obviously). I was using as 50/50 mix and was steadily vaping while in the waiting room and the patient room. Just hold it in a little longer and all will be fine. A couple people asked what i was doing, I had the saber touch which is kind of big to hide, and i told them about vaping and passed out a few cards. A couple didnt believe me cause they werent seeing "smoke" so i took a normal drag and exhaled some "smoke" to show em. That seemed to get their attention pretty good. So maybe it will help convert 1 or 2 of em. One of the nurses seemed really interested in the product and said she was trying to quit smoking.
 
After only vaping for 3 days, and now vaping only VG, I have had no problems stealthing it. I take about a half-strength/half-volume draw into my lungs, then complete the draw with fresh air through my nose...then hold for a bit, then slowly exhale.

Managed to do so while sitting in the waiting area of Urban Outfitters while my teenage daughter took forever trying on clothes. I was desperate. :)

Why stealth vape? There is nothing wrong with vaping! By thinking you need to hide your vaping, you're suggesting that you think you're doing something wrong. You're not. Vaping harms no one.

I've never, not anywhere, felt I needed to hide my vaping. This includes at my desk (I sit right outside a VP's office and he can see right into my cube), in meetings with management, in elevators, in restaraunts, dr offices, govt offices -- everywhere I go. In the grocery checkout in front of police. At gun shows, in front of a rabidly non-smoking promoter with sherrifs all around. No one has ever told me I couldn't vape. Why? Because I act like I'm not doing anything wrong. And I'm the least confrontational person you could ever meet.

Act like a victim, you become a victim. If someone asks what you're doing, it's straightforward to explain vaping and demonstrate its harmlessness.

Don't let PC social BS make you less. You're not doing anything wrong! This is a topic that really gets under my skin. Vapers are not criminals!
