Things you hate when people react while you are vaping in public ?

[Dyanne]

can't be bothered quoting earlier post about how they would vape in someone's face... anyway even as a vaper I would kick your face if you blew your vape into my face and didn't even know me, however I get what everyone else is saying using their manners when vaping and people over reacting when they see your vape. I can also get that people are used to walking into clouds of smokers smoke in public areas and vaping clouds are not the "norm" so they react before they even smell, again I can't blame them. We need to stay respectful even if we are blowing out odour free plumes of vapor just like we SHOULD have been as smelly smokers.

There is a difference between somebody within the range of my exhale and somebody walking by, circling around 15 or more feet away. Anybody that "invades my personal space" closely enough that they are in my vape, smoke, or breath exhale......well, then that is their problem, not mine. And if that offends them, they should stay home or invest in "a bubble"!

I had a really cute bartender flirt with me and even asked for a few puffs. ( if a gal will puff on your mod, chances are pretty good that she might be down for a kiss ).

BTW I did have a few dates with the bartender, and will ask her out again if she hasnt been scooped up yet. ( I have been working a lot over the last 6 months )

Spicy, sounds like the odds are in your favor.

We have a little bike trail I take every so often that I can bomb down without fear of someone making race face at me (seriously, I'm 40 freakin' years old winning against me is not like winning at the x-games, but that doesn't mean I'm going to let anyone half my age beat me.) I like to stop at this one little peak for a vape and water, take in the view, and then continue my potentially brain smashing activities from there. Cute guy (probably half my age) asked for me to shot gun him some vape-- what's a girl to do?

Good lord yes... I really like visiting Austin... I feel like im in a different state all together.

Funny that Brandon7 mentioned vaping in bars. I went out with friends about a year ago for some drinks. You could smoke on the back patio but even with the propane heaters it was freezing and the smell of smoke was disgusting. I pulled out my trusty MVP topped with a drilled out rebuilt evod and blew clouds of Panty Dropper from good life vapor ( it smells amazing for those that dont know ). Not only did I not have to freeze or smell smoke, I had a really cute bartender flirt with me and even asked for a few puffs. ( if a gal will puff on your mod, chances are pretty good that she might be down for a kiss ).

Sounds like the juice's namesake might actually do the trick . I may have to pick up some of that...

Panty Dropper... wait until you see the bottle... It is my second favorite juice from Good Life vapor, second to Deadly Sin....

I suggest you give it a try. It has loads of flavor and the smell is enough to make your mouth water.

 

[MrStik]

Honestly I don't want anyone blowing anything in my face whether it is smoke or vape.

Exactly. IF someone blows vapor in my face, someone is gonna end up in jail, and the other in the hospital.

It's hard to get away from people when they are standing right next to the doorway of the building you want to enter.

 

[Cloud_Chaser]

When people ask me if its cotton candy flavor. I hear that sooo damn much lol

 

[OlderNDirt]

It's hard to get away from people when they are standing right next to the doorway of the building you want to enter.

I completely agree! But I rarely ever see anybody smoking or vaping right next to an entry door, at least in my area of the country (yes, some smokers putting out their butts in the container placed right next to said door). I seem to have far more problem with people stopping to visit immediately inside/outside the door blocking it. In my world, there would be a law against people standing and blocking shopping aisles and walkways while visiting, but that is beside the point.

I seem to have more instances standing by my car in the parking lot or well away from foot traffic.

If I see a bug or spider on the floor, I kill it. If it's bigger than 1 inch... I call The Slayer -- a/k/a my husband.

If I see a spider in the house I catch it and bring it outside.

I once saw a wood spider larger than my hand -- yes, IN the house, in a closet.

But there is a limit to what I can handle, and if I saw a spider that big in my house, I'd get my shotgun!

I make a habit of helping to direct bees and flies out an open door.
But my wife, she just kills everything.

Greetings fellow Vapers !

Been Vaping for almost 2 months now. (quitted smoking for also the same time)

In short, I Vape as if I am smoking... like when I WAS smoking... during breaks while at work, After meals.. I vape (like when I WAS smoking).. Whenver I HAVE the urge to smoke, I VAPE. That's how I got rid of that 35 years habit of Smoking Analogs.

Needless to say, I vape in public.. (with a clean concience) knowing I WON'T be harming anybody like before.. Then one day like my usual habit.. I vape.. Inhaled.. throat hit then "Exhale".. accidentally a woman "Caught my Vapor" while passing me by while she was walking..(I'm just standing still..) The woman then waved her hands vigoriously like everyone would do when they caught someones smoke (Which btw,smells baad.. ps. 'Now, I know how the analogs really smell') Her reaction.. is the same as though I WERE smoking an analog !.. People "STILL" believes what they SEE than what they smell. They SEE smoke they 'Automatically" wave their hands and turn around, look at you like an EBOLA victim. (EVEN WHEN THEY SMELL "NOTHING" at all.)


Actually that's one of the reason I QUIT smoking analogs. NON-Smokers makes me (US) feel we are RUINING their AIR. Because the government is AGAINST smoking.. to the extent that they almost Judging US that smokers are BAD..Bad PEOPLE.. Smokers are "SICK" people and should be condemed, segregated.. and leave to die... The People now-a-days are like that. They DEMONIFY Smokers.. the Government DEMONIFIES Smokers and imposes FINE to smokers to smoke indoors, parks etc... even in our OWN Private Vehicles... HERE in TAIWAN you get FINE when you smoke while you ride a motorcycle (while moving) they FINE you when you smoke riding your motorcycle (while waiting for the stop light)

So people treat you the same when you are VAPING too. (Because they are too IGNORANT) about E-Cigs.

That's my sad story... ~SIGH~ What's yours?

HAHA yeah just vape away buddy!

I used to love when people would walk by me while I'm smoking and they just HAVE to leave inches between me and them as they walk by, seriously MOVE FURTHER! then they complain

that's when I inhaled a bigger hit and smoked in their way again

oh and print this out and hand it out when they complain, though we aren't smoking cigs anymore.. its still funny as hell!

If I'm in their house (outdoors), I just give them space. If I find them in MY house, I send them on to their next incarnation. Being in MY house violates my territory so I just dispatch them quickly and mercifully. But gardening taught me to respect their territory, and how many 6- and 8-legged critters are desirable in the garden; with those, I am on good terms, for the most part. Except the slugs. Considering how fast they can destroy weeks and months of hard work, I give them no mercy whatever -- I'd wear a hazmat suit if necessary, but the stuff I bought to kill them just needs a simple facemask. DEATH TO SLUGS!!!!!!!!!

First off: spiders are your friends. They should be treated as such - with respect.

Anything with more than eight legs though: instant death from above

Speaking of respect: I'm just getting into vaping - day 32 with zero coffin nails. I basically quit cigs the same day I brought an eGo home December 6th. This coming from a 24+ year smoker, ramping up to almost 2 packs a day the last 10. I'm going into vaping with the idea of being respectful, and conducting myself as I did as a smoker in public.

Given that most of the general public doesn't have a chemistry degree (or even retain the basics from whatever schooling), and thus wouldn't be able to tell vapor from particulate smoke, the automatic assumption from decades of societal conditioning of the public about smoking has to be accounted for by vapers.

And being afraid of what one doesn't know is part of the human condition. That was part of my wariness as a smoker investigating vaping, of seeing big box mods with external tanks, and huge, elaborately styled mech mods. I was trying to escape paraphernalia from that other smoking world (which I've also quit), and I was making the same assumptions the public would about them. And I was also not taking into account freedom of choice - which is another fault of the public.

With all that being said, I can totally see how some aspects of vaping could be off-putting to the population. It's just something too new, replacing something so old.

Which is one of the reasons why, when I laid eyes on an eGrip for the first time, I instantly knew it could serve many functions: to fit my own demands to be stealthy in form factor in public, deliver a quality vape, and also to be an ambassador - that a e-cig can be presented in a classy light, once the same way smoking was.

First off: spiders are your friends. They should be treated as such - with respect.

I agree, when they're in THEIR house (outdoors!). When they're in MY house, they're gonna be dead spiders just as soon as either my husband or myself lays eyes on them. If they weren't ready for their next life, they should have stayed outdoors.

Anyone or anything that enters my home without my express permission will be dispatched from my home in the swiftest manner possible -- unless my cat sees it first, and simplys BOTHERS it to death.

Our behavior shouldn't be decided by others, but as vapers we are supposed to choose a suitable place to enjoy vaping otherwise we are labeled as a perpetrator by non vapers and will feel low.

 

[Valroize]

Our behavior shouldn't be decided by others, but as vapers we are supposed to choose a suitable place to enjoy vaping otherwise we are labeled as a perpetrator by non vapers and will feel low.

I think like before (when I WAS an analog user) Our Behavior WAS NOT ONLY 'Decided'... IT has been "Dictated" already. 20 years ago.. I CAN smoke while watching TV in the comfortability of my home. My dad also... 10 years ago.. I only get to smoke "IN THE BALCONY" or anywhere 'Outside' my home. Even it's freezing outside... Now, We can't smoke.. even on parks.. public area such as street or outside a convenient store (outside my house) You get fined smoking while Driving INSIDE your car (which is My own PRIVATE Space) That's why I'm so happy discovering E-Cig and/or Vaping !

At least my family, wife, relatives (Who we're nagging endlessly that "YOU should QUIT Smoking..." ) Now, They could only say.. "Don't spend too much... on those things..." But at least I CAN vape in my room as I write/type this reply... lolz!!! But people STILL Treat us VAPERS as Smokers... I just hope... and just want to... "TO BEG TO DIFFER".... I wrote this Not because I blame them for being "Ignorant" to Vaping... I believe that oneday.. We can all VAPE indoors and in Public places... Oneday.. I hope we'll have "OUR FREEDOM" back.. just like 20years ago.

PS: I ONLY blame the Goverment for DEMONIFYING Smoking... AND "Deliberately" saying VAPING is 10 times DANGEROUS than smoking.. (According to Japanese, an article I read in the net.. can anyone confirm this? or have also read this article from the Japanese?) and in Taiwan NEW and paper article.. they say VAPING is BAD for your health... but.. hey ! Who ever said that VAPING is HEALTHY ? We only said that: VAPING is "HEALTHIER" than Smoking....

It's a huge problem here. People say that it's the same everywhere with rude and disrespectful people, but I have been everywhere and there is just something different about this town.
The college just banned smoking on campus. People threw a fit (naturally). When I went there everyone would sit outside the buildings entrance then say if people walked through their smoke it was their fault. Um really??

I myself quit smoking on Oct. 26th 2014 and been very happy. I Vape everywhere I can and everywhere there is always that one person who has to chime in. I simply get a step closer and say, ''I will give you to the count of 5 to walk away or feel the wrath of my very non-harmful vape.'' The looks I get are priceless. Try it, funny! Then most often I explain what Vaping is and they are in awe.

Panty Dropper... wait until you see the bottle... It is my second favorite juice from Good Life vapor, second to Deadly Sin....

Might see if I can find some in the uk, but I think I'll wait till the kids aren't in the room before I type the name into Google....
