I was pretty reserved when I was younger. Got older and starting chanting the mantra 'I am too old for this sh'. Helped with dating, saved me a great deal of time, be yourself and vape away if ya get drama I say it was a way to cut to the chase.
Strange thing is the vape thing seems to be an awesome talking topic. I got a friend that is so charming, she edumacates all she meets and has probably changed lives for the better.

if I were still dating, I would go with a couple of penstyle and ecab tanks and/or excuse my self to the bathroom a couple times in the night. and being a man, most women will appreciate that I'm "trying" to quit smoking.
Maybe you could date a smoker and convert them to vaping! 
I love telling smokers about vaping. I always have sanitary tips on hand so they can try mine; then I give out business cards from my favorite vendors. (I always ask for extras when I order so I will have them on hand.)
Then I refer them to the ECF. I wish I has the ECF when I started; could've saved myself a lot of trouble!

I think I would expose myself before we went out on a date... ;-)~ If she likes what she sees... well then maybe. Why even go out if vaping is off putting to the other person? I would be climbing the walls if I could not vape during an entire date. I would prefer either a smoker I could work on or another vaper from the very start.
**giggles.. I really hope you meant your gizmo or your vaporizer..
I'd love a hot date.. My issue is that I don't get out often without my 13 yr old.. and most people I really like to chat with, on line.. all live a state or 10 away.. hmm.. but trying to change that, by going to the ymca and our local state parks.. Maybe I will be able to spot some local wildlife there.. who knows?

Hmmmmmm my gizmo or my vaporizor. Can you give me a moment? Tough choice ..... ;-)~ Both??
I'd love a hot date too. Joined the ymca. Had some opportunities. If it wasn't for that nagging gender issue..... So I tried the local park thing... Got arrested. Why is it that when the police catch you at night hiding behind a tree in the park, they automatically assume..... So what is the penalty for stalking anyway?
roflmao!!! You didn't!!!
I think I love the ymca.. or at least the pool, steam room, the sauna and the hot tub.. now if I could drip there.... hmm stalking? If you have that down to a tee.. I can send a map for your next spot
Dripping on a junk, disposable 510 is not dripping. Stainless youde products are a really good choice. IGO, AGI, AGA as dripper.
The ones you get with fixed 3.7 ego's are useless, and only "drip" on your gear. I can see why dripping would seem foolish to some, as if that's all they've done.
An IGO-L, once you put the cap on, can take upwards of 30 drops...no leaks. That's a dripper.
Saw your thread about dripping, and saw you again mention it here. Left this here as I don't sit on here all day much anymore.
As for dating? Well, I stay in my league, so they most likely have a vice themselves, so it's just added conversation.

Divorced for 5+ years now and between hellish previous job, no sleep, two small kids...etc.
I'm actually at that point where I don't see how I could fit another adult into my life. I'm basically waiting for someone worth a disruption and thus far...nada.
I changed my profile from "smoker" to "non-smoker" and I feel like a liar.
Cuz i'm not a SMOKER, but I still have the habit...and i'm more likely than a non smoker to pick it back up.
On the other hand, people who chew gum or patch it consider themselves "non smokers"
and people who chew (gag) wouldn't put "smoker" on a profile...
I've never actually dated a smoker before, believe it or not. but the "previous dates" with me are few and far between. Possibly another reason why I'm reluctant to date. my past exp has told me it's not worth the grief.
Gonna just post for CEs. LOL.

okies.. first.. I only have 31 days+ a few hours of vaping in. the dripping I do on my "throw away cheap cartos" is keeping me from smoking, and hey, I like it. Not everyone will, but I do, and that is what matters to me. If I like it. I have gotten newer equipment, but if you have been stalking my posts like you say.. you'd notice, I am having a few issues with a piece I just got.. No biggie.. back to my dripping I go. *gee I am being stalked now.. wow..
It is ok, tho.. as long as I am happy. I am wide open for tips etc.. however, I have to live within my budget hmm.. Dating.. Leagues?? I just want to find one man, that is willing to be friends and enjoy what little time we all have left. I have 2 ex's and can count the number of people I have slept with on just 2 fingers.. obviously, they didn't work out, and I am single.. never thought of it as league, but I guess you are right.. we all have the things that make us, well us.. and I just want to find some body that both of us are comfy together. Hope this makes sense, and please.. Don't take this wrong!! Ok?
hmm Maybe dating sites should show more options like quitting, or vaping
btw.. what is CE??
Change your profile title to "I'm dripping wet". It'd be a convo starter and allow you to bring up vaping right away. Then again it might pull in the weirdo's, up I you.
haha!! True.. it would really make the perv's easier to block.. that is for sure!!
Seeing as how it doesn't smell, doesn't require you to excuse yourself outside all the time, etc., I'd say "non-smoker" is the appropriate choice if it's between that and "smoker".
You are still hooked on nicotine, yes, but everything that makes smoking unappealing isn't there.

When did this become a lifestyle choice?
It's either a nicotine ceasation method or a smoking alternative, but it's no different in principle than other alt-smoking techs.
I for one, smoked a churchwarden meerschaum pipe for a loooong time. I liked the cooling effect the length had on the smoke, and the both the feel and upkeep/flavor quality of the meerschaum. I just referred to myself as a "smoker" if asked, and I didn't catch much flak for it while smoke, the occasional question, reasoning, etc, explained flavor, lower cost, etc, and was done with it.
Most people like the smell of pipe smoke. I was never all "I DONT SMOKE FILTHY CIGS, I SMOKE PIPE ITS CLEANER AND HEALTHIER" just simply I smoke a pipe if asked, leave it at that.
If someone's going to shun you on super simple openers, leave 'em to eat a bag of dicks.
On the other side of that, if I was on a date with someone who was all OK THIS IS SUPER IMPORTANT I VAPE AND YOU HAVE TO ACCEPT MY VAPING ITS NOT SMOKING LET ME GIVE YOU THIS SPEECH ABOUT IT, it'd freak me out. I probably wouldn't stealth vape at a restaurant or bar or something, on a date. Tell em it's a e-cig, ask if they want to give it a shot, let 'em smell it outdoors, and be done with the intro to vaping seems like a good idea. if you hit it off, they are bound to ask all the questions they might have at some point, but that would be a really weird thing to make yourself all about.
I mean, c'mon, switching from smoking to a vaporizer cannot be the most interesting thing about ya, right?
I'm an intense absurdist with a love of off color humor, I own and repair ancient diesel bus and car, like really crappy old motorcycles, enjoy music both as an avid listener and hobbyist audio engineer/pianist, do a little lost wax casting, and yada yada. That's off the top of my fingertips, vaping doesn't even come to mind as a "defining quality," if anything, it's less aggravating than heavy smoking (and I seriously mean chain-bowling in that pipe, couldn't go 30 minutes away from it) and really shouldn't be that big a deal; sure, you strike a ground between smoker and non, but that'd be a lot like telling someone you switched to snus, or you chew, or etc. (chewing is pretty gross, in my eyes, but hey, what do I know)
If someone wants to make a huuuuge deal out of what you inhale.... is that the right foot to be starting out on? heh.

To me, being a smoker is digging a combustible out, lighting it, inhaling SMOKE, exhaling smoke, flicking ashes, tossing butts. Vaping is NOT smoking to me, or any nonsmoker I have spoken to. Smokers are snarky about vaping, but if you put your PV down on a table, and walk away, I can guarantee they will try it to see what all the fuss is about.
I think it should come in the progression of the date/dates. There are lots to learn about a person and 1 date is not gonna teach you everything you need to know about that person. If it doesn't come up, don't push it. If it does, just be brief unless they want more information.
Now I am sure that a 1st date is not the time or place to try to convert an analog smoker into a vaper....

Specifically on the topic of dating. The first date is usually to show that you are socially apt, can carry on a conversation, build attraction and not ...... up. If you set the PV on the table or it's popping out of your purse, he may ask "what's that?". This would be a good opportunity to share a story about how you struggled to quit smoking and eventually found e-cigarettes. If I didn't know what it was, I would semi-politely say "umm... I don't mean to embarasse you but... <quietly>I think your vibrator is sticking out of your purse." This could lead to a laugh and a fun conversation on the e-cigarettes. You shouldn't have too many conversation starter items, but a few is always good to help keep things rolling smoothly.
