Trouble with Law Enforcement in Canada?

[Coastguy3270]

Hi,

I am new to vaping, have just had my new unit a few days, which I picked up in Thailand. Now I want to try and find suppliers of parts and juice in Canada, which I already have. I have did a search of the Canada forum to try and find out whether anyone has actually had any issues with LEO's while vaping in public. It does mention on the Air Canada website that you can have them in your carry on, but has anyone ever had any problems with LEO's at any time?

Thanks,

Phil

Why would you?

Don't worry about it unless you're trying to use it in a place where you're not supposed to smoke. If you want to roll those particular dice, then you shouldn't be surprised if you find yourself doing some explaining.

HaHa, so right you are! I was just curious whether there have been any reports about LEO's harassing people

I've been approached twice by police officers. The downside of working across the street from a police station and having to vape outside I guess...
The first time, I just explained what it was, and that was that.
The last time, the officer was looking at me from his parked cruiser and then got out and started walking towards me. I had already pulled an information card out of my wallet and just handed it to him. He just skimmed the card, laughed about my preparedness and left.

You may get hassled about it in non smoking areas, and we should try and be respectful and educate others, but it's not illegal in any way.

Just take it as opportunity to educate them. The more people know about vaping, the more excepted it will become....

Hey Nuc... Do you know where I can get a copy of that "information card" that you are talking about? It might come in handy to carry some.

thanks

I carry both a card that I grabbed from eliquidations in Calgary, as well as some cards I ordered from CASAA.
Or make your own!

I have never had any bad experiences with police when vaping in public.
I do find it get a few more second glances when I am using a larger mod. This is just another reason that I prefer to use eGos when I am out and about.
