I am not trying to offend anyone. I play in a band and am exposed to a wide array of people in smoking areas in mostly bars and concert venues. I don't really have any real work experiences or any close friends and I don't go to restaurants, so my experience in public is quite limited to people who are drunk or otherwise inebriated. In my experience, here is how those people at my shows react to my e cigarette, while under the influence:
Drunk:
-Make fun of me or just start laughing for no apparent reason.
-Offer to pay ridiculous sums of money in order to get my e cigarette.
-Are unable to understand that I am not playing a practical joke on them.
-Start talking about their grandpa/mom/girlfriend and how they have lung problems and get all angry/sad about their entire life history.
-Rudely grab it from my hands and put their filthy mouths all over it, and then start coughing uncontrollably, and accuse me.
-Try to explain to ME how it works, while being totally wrong and ridiculous.
Otherwise inebriated:
-Say, "Wow, you have just completely changed my entire view of the universe." and then stare at me like I'm a devil.
-Ask me, "Does your boyfriend know that you are a witch?"
-Say that I'm "smoking electricity."
-Think that I get all crazy and hyped-up on smoking these, because they honestly think that I plug them into an outlet and get "energized" from the electricity.
-Are completely amazed by the different battery colors, and think that I can create them on a whim, with my psychic brain-powers.
-Keep asking me if I am an e cigarette salesman, and ask me how much I make from it.
-Wonder how they can vaporize elicit drugs in it.
-Try to explain to ME how it works, and no matter what, this explanation always involves some sort of "alien technology".
On a side note, I was watching Avatar in 3D while vaping one time, and a bunch of stoned kids were so amazed by my magical device that after the movie ended they started to do all of the above mentioned things, taking up about an hour of my time. Then started to ask me advice about their lives...like I was a psychic just because I stumbled upon this and bought it...
And I told them that if they stare at a solar eclipse while wearing their 3D glasses, they would be bestowed with x ray vision and then they would have superpowers and be admitted into my secret club, which would allow them the knowledge to make an e cig of their own.
But always, I try to inform the public about them and I feel that I've converted many people, and I also feel like I'm in a pyramid scheme because that's all that I talk about, because it's the only thing in my life that I am super-confident about. I, 90% of the time, am a great spokesman for vaping.
Don't be self-conscious, be a spokesman! You could save lives and make friends!
