Vaping at Walmart

[Nightly_Paradox]

Anyone ever have any issues with vaping at a walmart?

After just buying my eleaf i decided I was going to vape it at walmart like I have several times over. This time how ever the greeter guy decided to tell me that i wasn't allowed to use the device in the store as I walked out to grab my wallet from in my car. Talking to the store manager however, He said there was nothing in the store polices about vaping and I could do so as I wished. No one ever said a word to me when I had my Spinner or my Vamo, but now that I actually have a box people start speaking up.

The cereal Island has historically been known to be the best spot at the Walmarts to blow clouds. You should try there...

Just because it's not as harmful as cigarettes doesn't mean you need to vape in walmart. You're putting a lot more vapor out than your spinner did. It's not so much as "being against policy" as it is being respectful for other people in walmart. I can go 5 minutes to an hour without vaping, depending on how long I'm in there. Surely you can too. I don't vape in stores so I haven't saw a problem, but i have seen someone vaping in publix get called out by the manager for doing it.

Edit: Reading this back, I may have come off as a bit rude. I apologize if I did sound like that.

Never had any issues with it myself. Though only when desperate due to the significant other taking a molasses year trying on clothes I'll sneak a stealth vape from my Sig Mini 30w or IPV2 with a Russian 91% on them.

Thank God I live 30 miles from the nearest wall mart. If I`m shopping at wall mart, its on line.

In my time vaping, I've never seen a reason to do it in stores, if smoking's not allowed, I don't vape and thus have no issues.

The local Walmart Cereal aisle has pretty much become a Vape Lounge

You won't catch me setting foot inside a wm... but if somebody dragged me into one, I would vape.

IT'S NOT SMOKING. sheesh.

Oh, yeah. Good for vaping and snacking. I bring my own spoon and bowl...

I live in a small town, so Walmart is about only place to shop. They know this, though, and corporate must have given them the lay of the land, because at our WM, you get treated very nicely, and if you need help with anything, the employees drop what they are doing to help you.

I went to a fews WMs in other states and it was horrible.

I suspect because we are in WM "home territory", we get a lot more visits from the big guys, and it shows. Pretty much all the WMs in Arkansas seem different than WM in other places. The place is clean, you can practically eat off the floors, and everything is well stocked and organized.

I reported the stores I went to in other states, compariing them to ours, and letting corporate know that they need to step it up a bit outside of AR.

I never vaped in the store...I usually leave my vape gear in the truck when I am doing errands. I know so many people in there, I"m sure everyone would notice me while they were waving or stopping to chat.

I've never seen a need to vape in stores, so I don't. I didn't smoke in stores, either, back when it was allowed (a long time ago).

I got a compliment today in Family Dollar by one of their managers about how good the juice smells as opposed to cigs.

I live in Walmart central. There's more cows than people where I live, but I have 3 super Walmarts within a 15 minute drive. So I'm a frequent visitor. I still haven't seen anyone vaping in the cereal aisles so I may have to inaugerate them.

I've never actually vaped in a store. I did vape during a 3 hour medical test a few days ago. I just hid it whenever I heard the nurse coming, and held in my inhales so there wasn't any visible vapor when I exhaled. They had no idea. I also noticed they had smoke detectors everywhere including the restroom. This hospital doesn't even let you vape outside.

I see people vaping in line at checkout in WM all the time but I've never been brave enough to do it lol

I vape if I have to go in there (ugh). I just hold it in, or make sure no one is in the aisle. I always go way late at night, when children should be in bed. I really, really dislike children, and wal-mart children are the most terrible kind, it seems. Maybe it's the parents. Though, the wal-mart I go to now in Reno is much, much better than the one by my old place in southwest Houston!!! I vaped there too.

I don't vape in stores or anywhere indoors. I think it's rude. Sure you might be legally allowed, but do other customers want to breathe in your vapor? I think it just makes us look bad as a community, and we have enough people against us already. I've been around people who were doing it with flavors that smelled pretty bad, so I understand that some people might not want to inhale my preferred juice. It's up to you what you do but you're not doing any of us a favor by using it indoors in public places.

Although Walmart doesn't consider vaping the same as tobacco, I still don't partake while I'm in thier store. I simply don't want to add more fuel to the fire, for all the nay-sayers.

I camoflage my vaping in WalMart... I take a draw, open up the frozen food door and lean in and exhale.... looks like Im just breathing into the freezing cold air... visually you cant tell the difference... and the Ice Cream smells better too

obviously you have never been crop dusted by other customers..... vaping can be considered sort of like a gas mask

Well the old joke is the larger ones have their own weather systems and you can get lost for days... I've never vaped in one but must admit of all rthe stores, it's the most tempting. If I went in the middle of the night, I might.
