It took 2.5 years before I saw my first vaper in the wild.
I pretty much vape like I smoked except you can just stick it in your pocket and don't have smoke a whole cigarette or stub out half of it before going inside. Only place I "stealth" vape is in a hotel room. I'd probably stealth vape if I was stuck in a cubicle all day, but in the end they'd have to put me in the loony bin if I was forced to be inside all day anyway.

I should have mentioned I live near a very small town and still see plenty of local smokers around.

This sounds like me, except that if I ever left my vape at home, it would mean turning around to go back and get it; it goes where I go, in my purse, just as my cigarettes did. Just being without either was/is plenty of reason to have an all-out nic-fit meltdown.

I enjoy the freedom to vape most anywhere through stealth vaping. Church, the ER, the dentist, the courthouse, you name it, and I have likely vaped there. Light vapor and light flavoring, and I've never had a problem. Good practice should the bans get carried away too!
Where I come from, vaping is certainly not mainstream so yes, I would consider myself a stealth vaper also, although being retired I don't leave the house all that often. When I do go out I take out my smallest battery - the sticklike iTaste and a small K1 atty and generally only vape in the car.
That said, I have an in-law who lives in Brighton, England. She tells me that vaping is really picking up there and when two vapers pass each other in the street they hold up their mods in salute.

I just posted recently about seeing other vapers in public for the first time. Mainly, I vape at home, at work (in stealth mode) and in the car on the way from one to another, or when we're driving to shopping and back. I don't do it in stores or restaurants, out of courtesy. I do not go to any "smoking areas" anymore. I can put it down long enough to do business on someone else's property. It probably goes without saying that they wouldn't appreciate it if I did vape there. All the same, I am not looking for a confrontation or to challenge anyone's rules.
I mainly only vape at home. I bring a cigalike with me in the car but barely use it.
I have seen some people vaping here (aside from the vape shop)
One guy in front of the publix.. Someone else in a car there at another time. Then I saw a group of 20 something's vaping in a parkinglot of the Hess.

I carry a gun and a vape setup everywhere I go. I'm not ashamed of either of those choices, but I tend to operate on the principle that no one needs to know about either of them.
"Look at ME" has never been part of my life-program, so the concept of 'stealth' is certainly applicable.

You know what I DON'T carry around with me anymore? Eau de tobacco fug. I just love not being embarrassed to get close to people anymore.

Really never smoked too much - 3 a day so I don't find it necessary to vape outside. Usually vape in the house while watching TV or reading this forum. Does that make me a stealth vaper?????maybe?
I saw this girl(hot) at work today using a iStick30(guessing) and ST Nano. Never seen her smoke or vapr in months. Saw that as an opening to start a conversation and show her what I bring to work, but since ive been clean Ive been quiet the wuss.
If two stealth vapers started going out, they may not know their partner was a vaper for months. I think as a rule, stealth vapers should come clean about it before the first child is born!
I don't understand the question. I quit sneaking a smoke the day I turned 18. That's 30 years ago now. Since that day I have smoked and now vaped, when and where I want.
That said I would also by the standard be considered a Invisible Vaper. Difference is I'm not hiding it, I'm being respectful and polite.
I DON'T vape where or when smoking might be frowned on. I fact the only thing like this I do differently is I do Vape indoors at home. Haven't smoked inside in over 20years. I also will vape in the car with kids present, but it is uncomfortable.

Nope, I don't hide it. I just vape respectfully, even in places where "smoking might be frowned upon".

Something tells me that if you're vooping in a hotel lobby or in the aisles of WalMart, folks might get upset. These days, though, it would probably be about the vaping part!
I mostly don't, just because there are SOOOOOOOOO many self-righteous idiots in the world -- but I reserve the right to stealth vape if necessary.
I would have stealth smoked if I could have gotten away with it, but the stink is such a dead giveaway. I only got away with smoking as a teen because both my parents smoked, the house was FILLED with that smell all the time. Andria
i vape everywhere that its not rude. im lucky to have an office that embraces the fact that i vape. they encourage it.. mostly bc i vape juice that smells GOOOOD
i vape the same way i smoked way before any one heard of smoking bans.
back then if there was not a no smoking sign (some places did have them)
it was implied by omission you could smoke.
i keep an eye out for no vaping signs. haven't seen any yet.
i do use discretion however. stealthy as a ninja.
