Vaped in public for the first time.

[Kieferz]

So today I went outside the city limits of Louisville, Ky to a more rural county to visit a large flea market and I noticed a few people vaping respectfully as the walked through the aisles. No one complained and the vapers weren't blowing huge clouds or anything. Up to this point I had only vaped in smoking areas, outside, my car, and my home. It was very weird in a cool way. I felt like I had stepped into a different world. Liberating. I liked it a lot.

Glad you got to experience that. Can't say I know much about Louisville. Only been there once when I was on Family Day from Fort Knox.
I vape occasionally in public unless there is a ton of people. Even though I use a Reo, it's built at 0.6 so I can get a lot of vapor from it and don't want to be a nuisance. I will vape on the beach here in Alabama though and occasionally where i see fit. I always have my Reo, just don't always vape.

Glad you had a good time and also glad your over your recent mishap by and large most people dont care about normal vaping and rarely create a problem.

I never see anyone vapin in my area. They all ex smokers so they hide i think. And i dont think anyone here but me subohms the shop only carries evods. So i tend to be that guy people see vaping here. Lol

I have vaped on airplanes, airports, critical care unit in hospital and to many places to count. I refuse to vape in smoker areas. I am not a smoker so why do I wanta go their anymore to suck in second hand smoke. I do have lots of visits to restrooms though.

At my age, multiple trips to the bathroom while out and about are not such a bad thing.

I dont vape indoors, but if im outside its game on.

I never really thought about it so whenever I'm outside I just vape but I don't blow clouds.

I was in the city with my kids last night, we had dinner and we hit some local bars. The waitress let me vape in the restaurant and there was sometimes a wait, I just vaped in line. I could hear people talking about how good it is smelled. One guy that was smoking asked me what I was smoking, I told him what I could and pointed him to ECF.

So far the experience has been mostly good, I've never had anyone complain and most ask me what I am doing that smells so good.

At a certain age (which I'm way past) you not only go because you have to, you go because you have an opportunity to.

There is only one restaurant in town with a smoking section, when we first started going my mom was a smoker, even now that she's quit she prefers it because it's much quieter. We went the other night, I was vaping and even there I was getting some odd looks.

I did have a bit of a redeeming moment yesterday though. There was a guy at an intersection handing out leaflets and asking for change for a battered women's shelter. He happened to see my box mod, and recognised it and mentioned he was wanting one. My mom was with me and rolled her eyes 'Oh she's addicted to that stuff' he said if he had his, he'd be vaping but he blew a chip. This was a first for me,I thought it was pretty cool.

flea markets are fun ... would be a great place to have a vape

As the OP experienced, I don't think rural or small-town places aren't bombarded by BT & BP paid media. The media is very powerful, it's manipulative and continuous.

I just think it is wonderful that I am seeing more people out in public vaping. Since I began vaping, I do it everywhere I go and have never had any problems. I think now that I am seeing more vape stores around where I live, I see more people vaping. Always try to acknowledge because I feel it is similar to motorcycles when they pass on the street and always wave or nod.

The bar we frequent in town lets us Vape away. Not just me and my girlfriend, sometimes there's 6 of us at the same table vaping away having a good time.

Makes me want to do it more often.
