In my neck of the woods, I don't know of a single place that 'allows' vaping - if you ask first - if they don't concurrently allow 'smoking'. I know the legalities, and by the letter of the law, it's 'legal' nearly everywhere in Kansas if it isn't specifically posted (the state did not/has not yet added e-cigarettes to the Clean Air Law) ...but the reality is far FAR different. It almost seems like, if there is NO posted policy, the inherent policy is "NO". At least, that has been my experience so far.

Used to be like that here, I was one of the first in my area to vape (small town) I made the effort to take my rig with me, talk to managers and business owners and, explain it as well as demonstrate and, show there was no unpleasant odor and it dissipated very quickly.

Now, it's a pretty vape friendly town, disposables in both gas stations, Wal Mart, Brookshires, the BBQ joint and both cigarette shops and, vape shops within 30 miles north or south of the little town. Our only sit down restaurant tuned the old smoking section into the vaping section and, anyplace else, sells disposables so, vape on :)

Doesn't hurt that the county sheriff is my cousin in law and, I turned him on to vaping, he in turn has all but two smoker in the sheriffs office and 3 in the police office vaping now. :) (Good cop, vape that doughnut LOL.)

If anyone's in southwest Michigan in the kalamazoo area all of the following are very vape friendly, Olive Garden, kumo hibachi, longhorn steak house, Texas road house, cosmos, chin chins, king wok, most fast food places, the beer exchange, the wildbull, the library (bar), old Chicago and many more I just can't think of. This is in my own experience, I hope that helps.
This might be in part that we have a local vape shop, kalamazoo vapor shop, that has had a big impact on the community as in that I am constantly running into others vapers and more and more people are vaping in public, I'd say its a pretty vape friendly city overall.

Let's see I vape at nearly every bar I go to in Boise, do it at work, and even starbucks once :) But one of their employees is a pretty big vaper haha!!!

I was just about to say that Boise is a very vape-friendly town...and here you are, saying the same thing! The only 'restaurant' I've vaped at was the Tap House (a pub/restaurant) - nobody even batted an eye.

rounding third and heading home...
Every place I have ever been in except one hole in the wall was vape friendly. That includes Buffalo Wild Wings, Black Angus and I did vape in Olive Garden but was stealthy.

The one place that asked me to stop said "You can't smoke in here!" and when I explained it they just couldn't grasp the concept at all. It may have been a language barrier, but I doubt it. So I stealthed and told them I had it turned to the "no vapor" setting. I promised them no more vapor would come out of it. I showed them the "no vapor" demonstration, and they chilled out a little. There were exactly 5 customers (and the 3 that weren't with me were about 20 feet away) and 4 employees there, so it wasn't as if it was packed and no one was sitting with me except my friend whom I was showing it to. Too bad really, they are brand new and need the business.

I wish someone would show me the no vapor demonstration. is there a video anywhere of someone vaping with nothing being exhaled? I have tried and tried and I just can't seem to have nothing on exhale. is there a trick i'm missing? and what activity are you doing that you HAVE to vape right then and there and can't wait for a more convenient time? just curious......
