Vaping around Denver

[Elokin6]

I've had my 510 for a little under a month, so I haven't vaped too many places yet, mostly bars and night clubs. Here's my findings:

The Church, lower level, Sunday night: Vaped all over the place and was not discrete at all. No one official cared in the slightest or even gave me a funny look. A few patrons were interested and asked a few questions. Kinda OT, but I will never step foot in that club again because I got knocked around by some ex-skinhead biker gang member and the bouncers wouldn't back me at all.

Denny's @ Sante Fe & Alameda: Vaped there openly late on a Sunday night. No one said a word.

Cafe Netherworld: I've vaped there several times and no one cares. I kind of figured they wouldn't considering how much they love the smoking ban.

Bar Standard/Milk/Shelter: Vaped all over the place on Saturday night. No one had a problem at all. I assume it's also ok on Wednesdays, but I have no idea about the more mainstream club nights.

Deathwish @ Trax: I vaped openly in front of the staff and one of Denver's finest. No one cared. The door lady did ask some questions when she searched my lunchbox, but she just kind of looked at me like I was nuts and left it at that.

The movie theater @ Denver Pavilions: I vaped during a weekday matinee. I didn't catch any grief, but I was very discrete and the theater was pretty empty.

Pints Pub: The newish manager guy (whose name I can never remember) let me vape there on a Tuesday night. I asked permission and I'm a regular, so YMMV. I'm willing to wager that it wouldn't fly with the older British guy.

King Soopers @ 29th & Quebec: I vaped openly in the middle of the night while doing some post clubbing breakfast shopping. I didn't catch any greif, but I was drunk (not driving) so I probably won't have the guts to do it again.

So far, I haven't gotten any negative reactions from the general public while vaping. Most people think it's pretty cool.

I've had the same reaction and I vape everywhere I go, even on the (Frontier Airlines) plane!

vaped in microcenter. vaped at best buy on 104th & i25. havent gone out much since i started vaping but havent had any problems. actually sold many kits, about to buy in bulk soon and distribute throughout colorado =) 510 kits for $75 isnt bad right?

Hey! I was just at Microcenter yesterday morning. Vaped all over the place there.

Nice! My mom is an FA for Frontier. I should have a chat with her about being nice to those who vape, but the Frontier FAs are usually nice anyway.

Yesterday, I vaped @ Sigi's Pizza in the Auraria student center, in the science building student lounge, and in the north building. Today I vaped in the Rock Bottom on 16th and Racines. No one has had a problem yet. Maybe Denver is a vape friendly city.

Dang, why did I leave Denver again?

Y'all are bringing back memories. King Soopers

The Church, lower level, Sunday night:...

Cafe Netherworld: ...

Bar Standard/Milk/Shelter: ...

Deathwish @ Trax: ...

I wonder if we know each other.

I wonder if we know each other.

It's entirely possible. If not, I'm sure we've seen each other around.

My name is Kayla

I'm a metro student too. I'll say hi if I see you vaping on campus. I mostly live in the science building, so if you see a chick vaping around there, it's probably me.

 

[RandallFlagg]

I'm off work until Friday. Planning on vaping in all sorts of new spots this week.

If I can pry myself away from Left 4 Dead for that long.

 

[Elokin6]

I was at the Shelter last night vaping my head off and without thinking I took a drag right in front of a bouncer I was chatting with. He gave the this look like "what the fu**" so I quickly said "it's not real" and flashed the LED a couple of times. He said "oh, ok" and I just went about my merry little way. This is the closest I've come to getting yelled at so far

Rock Bottom Not Vape Friendly

Nov 1, 09, my son and I vaped in the Carraba's at 92nd and Old Wads, a few looks but no one said anything.

Nov 10th, vaped at Rock Bottom Promenade Westminster, again a few looks and our waiter commented that he had not seen the pipes before.

Nov 13th, again at Rock Bottom Promenade Westminster, this time it was a friday evening pretty crowded. After about an hour the manager came over and said that I could not "do that in here". We had a long talk about what it was and was not, but I was informed that "Corporate" had made the decision not to allow it. I of course agreed to abide by their rules.

Just prior to leaving, after I had a while to think it over, I tracked down the manager and turned in my "Mug Club" card and informed him that I would no longer be doing business with their establishment due to the corporate position that they had taken. My family and I have been going there since the day they opened and their Molly Brown is about the only beer I have been drinking for about 8 years. Now that they have taken a stand not to allow me to do something that is no more offensive than the perfume that most women wear every day and no more dangerous than the food they serve, then I will vote with my patronage and dollars. I hope others will do the same.

I have been vaping all around Colorado Springs and have not been told to stop by anyone....Have done it in..Texas road house, applebees, walmart, safeway, gas stations..All over. Before I break it out at dinner though I explain it to my server and then let the manager know and have yet to have any problems other than everyone wanting the websites to read about them or order there own. Hoping to not have problems in the future wth it but who knows, as they become more popular people get more scared of them!

 

[RandallFlagg]

Well, so far every Village Inn I've been to allows it. I've even handed out quite a few cards to the waitstaff at the places.
Yesterday, I was blasting huge clouds overhead in the Colorado Mills mall on West Colfax. No issues at all.
Also at the mall is a kiosk for Smoking Everywhere, and they carry fluids there. I'll have to go get some today as I ran out while waiting for my shipment to get here from TW.

Denny's on Grant and 104th (in thornton) seem to be ok with it, although the staff there always forgets we've already had the vapor conversation. not a huge fan of village inn but being a minority it always feels like the staff there is a bit critical of non-anglosaxon patrons so we avoid that diner (at least in the 303/720 area). it IS good to hear that they're vapor friendly but i won't be taking advantage of that fact anytime soon.

how much are smoke-everywhre's juices? i'm kind of a local juice dealer but only to family and friends, just wondering about prices and variety

That's odd about Village Inn. I only go there because they serve breakfast crepe dishes, and Denny's does not.
Does Dennys have anything like an internet cafe area yet? I've been curious about that.
Also, the juices at that kiosk I went to are just the basic ones: Marlboro, light, menthol...
They're about $21.00 for a small 20 ml bottle. But the one I got wasn't that good, IMHO.

 

[phee]

hahaha ic ic. unfortunately denny's has none of those commodities but they have good'ol fried junk eheheh and i'm not a fan of the crepes and skillets at VI but to-each-is-own.

wow, expensive expensive, thanks for the info!

 

[Drunkwaco]

I've vaped at the Aurora mall often. Was just there last night and didn't get any looks. the SE there doesn't have juices thou. I vape at work and no one seems to care after i explain it to them. The truck drivers are always trilled to hear about how it works.

Elokin, we must just keep missing each other. Bar Standard/Shelter/Milk is very vape friendly, and the Church has only ever come up and asked to make sure I had a PV (orange LED -- but I don't own any of those anymore, so no longer a problem.) I even saw another vaper at Shelter on Halloween (my first other vaper spotting who wasn't someone I introduced).

Honestly, I've never had a problem at all in a public space. The Gothic Theater is very open to the idea, too.

Also, The Red Zone/Pumphouse in Longmont (if the sports bar thing is your thing -- it's not mine, but my best friend is a football fan so in the interest of chick solidarity...), Connor O'Neill's, Rio Grande, West End Tavern and Aji in Boulder (all on or just off the Pearl Street Mall) are all totally okay with vaping. (After all, it's in a bar owner's best interest to keep patrons inside and drinking, not standing in the cold where they might get distracted or worse, cold...)
