Stealth Vaping - How the heck do you hide that crazy cloud?

[Qcaj]

I had an international flight right after I started vaping. I didn't SV on the plane (since my home airport was the one where someone got arrested for it), but airport bathrooms on the inside of the security were fair game.

When I left, I had only been vaping about two weeks and hadn't totally kicked the analogs. That was a hard flight. On the way back though (~two weeks later, not smoking the whole time I was away) wasn't too bad. The nicotine addiction is really manageable compared to a cigarette one.

But OT... I generally only vape where I can smoke. The exception is inside my house and in my office. But I only vape in my office if there's nobody else in there. I share it with 6 other grad students and it's more of a courtesy thing than an anti-smoking one - I don't eat hot food there unless I'm alone too. Nothing worse than trying to concentrate on a paper and someone's eating ginger beef or farting or something.

Vaped on a plane, mall, always ALWAYS while grocery shopping, library, bus, cab, train, subway, work, school, bar, many assorted coffee shops/cafes... it's not smoke, it's not harmful (quite the opposite), and you get more nicotine from walking by someone with a cigarette or eating baba ganouj than you would from several facefulls of pleasant smelling vapor.

If people are bothered by the aesthete, that's their own issue and are free to grumble and dwell in their own self righteous miasma of intolerance. I can't stand the skinny jeans out the pants below the .... look, but it's ultimately harmless so I endure silently, or at least privately.

Questions are almost always welcome, assuming I'm unaware of what I can and can't do, however...not so welcome.

Trolly did you use the bathroom or right in the seat?

There was nobody sitting next to me so in my seat. Otherwise i'm not sure i would have done it. Once i had one, i had about four

Even as a smoker, I never learned to do that. Tried and tried, but the only rings I puffed were complete accidents when I wasn't even thinking about it. Guess I need a tutorial video on that too

I could never do it much with cigarettes, it's infinitely easier with cigar/pipe smoke, because of the density/amount of smoke. Vapour is actually is a bit easier than cigarettes, with more vapour, but harder than cigar/pipe smoke because it's not as thick.

Anyway, if you want to watch someone making "O" faces, this guy isn't great at it and using hookah, but he explains the few methods; How to blow smoke rings - YouTube

I agree with a lot of the points here but I still vape only in places where smoking is permitted.
It is more of a courtesy thing for me.
I don't sit in a restaurant and let go a big loud fart even though it is not illegal.
I try not to walk into a meeting at work and belch.
Standing in a elevator, I generally don't start singing an ABBA song at the top of my lungs.
True, vaping is not explicitly illegal in many of the various locations listed in this thread but the last thing we need is undue attention that could force establishments to enact prohibitions.
For me, discreet and courtesy are the keywords.
