Vaped in 'no smoking' hotel without problems!!

[rms62003]

I had to go to a conference at a no smoking hotel recently, but brought my vaping supplies. Although I was a little reluctant, I vaped every night of the conference. And, not only did I not set off the fire alarms, but I wasn't charged for smoking in the rooms. So, ecigs really don't have the same smell, and hotels don't know if you do this.

They probably never saw an ashtray full of dead cartos...

It's not smoking.

Vaped in a few non-smoking rooms as well with no problems regarding odor or smoke detectors. Interestingly these rooms still had ashtrays in them.

...the hidden and rarely spoken of "shame" of vaping................................

I saw that once, where the non-smoking hotel had ashtrays on the bedside tables. They told me they were for taking out on the balcony where I was allowed to smoke. I think they placed them where they were to encourage smokers to break the rule and get hit with the $300 smoking clean-up charge

I was told for a Marriot you are NOT allowed to even smoke on the balconies if ur room has one. U have to go downstairs and outside, several feet from the door...

I have been vaping for 1 1/2 years now, I vape in no smoking rooms, no smoking rental cars and anywhere else I want to, I do not vape in public places where my vapor might confuse people and they would think I was smoking and fuss about the "smoke". So far I have had no problems or issues with no smoking hotels or rental cars. Heck I even flew over seas with PG juice and vaped on the plane the whole way, but I was very careful about blowing any vapor out where people could see it.

My brother has been Vaping in non smoking hotels for a year and has never had an issue.
We have both vaped discretely on planes with no issues. the trick is to take a little lighter hit than normal, inhale a little deeper and hold it longer. No cloud on exhale,,, NO PROBLEM!!!

 

[jdg]

Oh yeah, you'll never have any trouble unless people see you blow out vapor, or see the cloud you've recently exhaled. Even if they see the cloud, just tell them you don't see it.

I vape in non-smoking hotel rooms whenever I'm on the road. I just don't let any of the staff see me. No need to trouble anyone's mind with the difference between vaping and smoking in those situations.

I went to a thanksgiving party the other night where all the smokers were smoking outside on the balcony, I stayed inside and vaped, I had explained to a few people what it was but not everyone who kept arriving. One guy saw me and asked what it was etc., and he said *I thought I saw smoke come out of your mouth earlier but I didn't see a cigarette, so I thought it was dust in the air or something*, LOL. It's funny because if people don't see a cigarrette (or smell it) they kind of convince themselves that the smoke they saw was all in their heads!

 

[ocdetails]

I've never been bold enough to use it out in the open other than in my office. Good for you for giving it a shot!

Like Keysbum said, "it's not smoking".

I stayed in a motel for a couple weeks during the summer with non-smokers, and vaped the whole time. No complaints from anyone.

i still stick with the smokers when in public places. i do get the occasional fake coughing from some of the more preachy passer-byes.

Whatever it is they spray at hotels and in rental cars to detect cigarette smoke isn't triggered by vaping. Prolly because vaping isn't smoking.

I travel often for work and vape all the time in non smoking rooms. This is way better than the prison rules I was forced to abide by when I was smoking. On the smoke alarms (especially in Europe) be careful. I have set one off vaping in a hotel. Some use an optical sensor and the vapor will get it to fire. I blame the Darwin since I took a huge wake up pull and blew the hit upward and over my shoulder right into the detector without realizing it. It gave off a real nasty noise at 4am and the fire dept had to come to disable it. I explained the issue by plugging the hot water pot in and having the thing steaming with the lid open when they came in the room. Happy vapes.

Usually when someone does that, I smile at them and say something like - We're the only ones that know how fake that was, but I won't rat you out.

Never had one reply yet.

I was in Manhattan last spring and the bartender in the hotel lounge allowed me to use my Riva. It was a good opportunity to talk up vaping. She is a smoker and told me that a pack of Marlboros in the city cost 15.00$!
