Last night I spent working alone in my office (an open plan architecture office), and spent most of it vaping at my desk in front of my computer. It was my first all-nighter ever, since school, due to a major deadline tomorrow morning. It felt like such a transgression, walking around to make tea while vaping. It felt brilliant. I would never do it when my coworkers are around, even though they support the fact that I switched from smoking - so the all-nighter did give me a little bit of joy due to my ability to vape to my heart's content ;)

It's certainly been an adjustment not having the interruption of needing to drop everything and go outside every so often, but I am digging it. Now that spring is getting here, I will probably venture outside once in a while to get some fresh air and visit my old smoking buddies.

I work a showroom floor and have been instructed by the owner that I may "stealth vape" inside the building, like in the bathroom and stuff.. But (get this):

Unless I actually buy one that looks like a cigarette, I am NOT allowed to use my device in front of customers.

It actually makes sense, I am here to do a job.. Explaining my e-cig to understanding customers would take up enough time, let alone attempting to explain it to judgemental customers wouldn't be worth it..

Like the two week period where I attempted to quit by making a fake cigarette out of a dowel rod.. Even airbrushed it, it looked very real.. Just no smoke. I am standing outside pretending to puff on it and a man with a oxygen tank steps out the door, tales one look at me and starts coughing uncontrolably and rushes back inside, asks the manager to have his employees stand farther from the door when smoking.. (none of us had the heart to tell him that if he experienced SOB when stepping through the door that it was purely psychological..)

I find that even in crowded meetings or malls or wherever, if I inhale and release slowly no one is the wiser. Occasionally I get a look but I always like to be discreet because I got tired of showing people and answering questions about vaping all the time. I'm all for spreading the word but not when I'm on a timetable or out with the wife. She's heard it enough to give it herself and she's not a vapor or smoker. Now if they put me on commission then... well that's something entirely different.:evil:

Wonderful story. It explains everything about a lot of things...

My friend was in Tampa when I was so I picked her up at her mom's to visit friends. I took a hit from my VK and she rolls down the window and begins to make discreet "I am chocking to death noises". As it is MY car she can't tell me to stop. After I stoped laughing at her I handed her my VK and told her to shut up (we have been friends since we were 12.. I was just teasing ) She was amazed and dumbfounded. She didn't have another word to say about my VK after that, except to point it out to everyone who would listen that I was VAPING chocolate.

I vape at work all the time. It was great not having to go outside during the cold nasty weather. Technically, I have more time to be productive, since I'm at my desk when i would have been outside, but it turns out i spend that extra time on ECF (argh., luckily, I'm very productive at work anyway). Trying to cut back on the addictive forum thing, and now that it's getting nice outside, I'll probably start going back outside once in awhile to enjoy the sunshine.
