I work in a hospital and every time I'm in the locker room alone, I stealth vape and blow any vapor that comes out into my locker. I also sneak vape breaks in the one-seater bathrooms. Only a couple of my coworkers know that I do this ... I keep quiet about it because drama and tattletelling is rampant in my dept. I have one other girl that vapes on and off and another that I'm bringing an ego/evod setup tomorrow to try.
I work in a huge old mill building and wander the floors vaping away on my breaks. it's also quite the walk to the ladies' and I vape on my way there and back. I just make sure no one else is around (easy to do) and I only use my 510 sticks and Nanos at work- easy to keep the clouds to a minimum.
occasionally the maintenance guy will sneak up on me and want to try whatever flavor I have that day. the bosses know, don't care as long as I'm not obnoxious about it.

We are suppose to only vape where smoking is allowed. Like others I make a habit of being seen going outside once or twice a day. I'm lucky and have my own restroom connected to my office. I vape there. Do I voop or just vape. Only the shadow knows and it ain't tellin'..
Funny thing is that vaping has never really come up. Everyone just goes to the smoking area. It's social, far away from my desk, and the smell is a good reinforcement that I don't want a cig and that I won't smell when I go back in.
I work at a newspaper and vape in my office. My boss doesn't have a problem with it because he vapes too
I spend part of the day on the phone with customers and oddly my bosses never had an issue with my dipping habit and nasty spit cups...but vaping is just too new of a concept here in Pleasantville so I'm left to snaping. (sneak a vape)
Currently trying to find the most stealthy combo of aroma/cloud I can and leave flavors at home.
Does long term vaping like in a small room leave a constant odor like smoking does? After running errands today I came home and swore I smelled a little tobacco odor.

I usually just vape at my desk/bench and none of my co-workers care. In fact they're usually curious as to what I'm up to! I showed a co-worker my new iTaste VTR recently and he thought it was the coolest thing ever!!
I work as a Service Engineer for a medical device company, so I constantly have circuit boards and machine parts strewn all over my bench. It works out well becuase my vape stuff just sort of blends in with the rest of the stuff.

My company's official policy is vaping must be done outdoors. I work for a fortune 500 company, and I'm in a production facility (although I have an office job). I have never heard the official reason, but have heard several "rumored" reasons (it would be a distraction on the production floor and they want the same rules to apply to everyone, some people's sensitivity to smells, etc). This means I pretty much vape in the smoking area with the smokers. I am more sensitive now to the smell of smoke now that I quit, but it doesn't bother me as long as a stand a few feet back. I have converted a few others to vaping since smokers are curious when they see me vaping, but man it stinks going out in the subzero temps we have been having!
Work from home now, so also a chain vaper!
When I did commute in, I was in Utah and working for some clean living folks. Good people, but they didn't need to know about my bad habits! I stealth vaped around the office and vooped (LOVE IT!). I also vaped while at the urinal when the bathroom was vacant (usually the case, except between 12 and 2). I do still go into the office occasionally (once a quarter or so), and I still fallow this when I'm there generally. I vape lower nic levels usually (because of the chain vaping I'm sure) so I usually pick up a bottle of higher nic (12 instead of 4 or 6 mg) which keeps me happy with the few vapes a day.
USUALLY I would be against this mindset of stealth vaping and such, as they are teaching opportunities, but honestly I think it could hurt me professionally. They didn't know I smoked before as I quit before I got hired on. I used blu cigalikes when I got hired, and honestly the lack of availabilty of smoking areas helped me quit all together (vaping blu isn't enjoyable). Also, we have clients drop in frequently and without notice, so that would be frowned upon. I really like most aspects of my job, and plan to stay with the company for a while. Also, I'm of the opinion that while I'm in the office they are paying me to be professional, and I don't think vaping encourages that image. I shave my face, put on the monkey suit, clean up my language, keep the vapes in my pocket, and DANCE! Hehe

I'm mostly in a company car so that's where I vape. My company has no issues with vaping and in fact, 2 girls from our HR team vape all the time. All in all there are about a dozen regular vapers in this branch of my company. 
I can vape anywhere I want. I own the business.
However, I rarely vape anywhere except my own office.
At my desk. If someone comes in and sees me vaping, they usually say, "Oh, you're a vaper. Be right back." Then they come back in with their device and we talk vape as well as shop. Then of course, they leave witht he ECF address on the back of one of my business cards.
I'm not supposed to but I vape discreetly at my desk. It's placed far in the corner and the vaping isn't noticeable. But I still like to go outside with the smokers during breaks. Except when it's cold. Like today.
Funny, though. An employee who likes to come into our department and chat with our supervisor brought her PV in the other day and vaped openly at her desk. Super was like, "you better not get caught!' and employee was like 'oh, who cares?'. Since then I've been a bit bolder, but still not blowing huge clouds.

My organization (local government) banned vaping indoors in all govt. buildings on Jan. 1, which I had occasionally been doing. I usually go outside cause I like the fresh air and the break, but if I'm building a setup at my desk I may take a quick test puff to make sure all is good.
Luckily I'm in Socal so the weather is pretty awesome. Cheers!

I'm not vaping that often now that I've switched to 0mg nic, but when I do, I usually stealth vape at my desk. On the rare occasion that I do go outside, I'm greeted by (mostly) other vapers. In the last 6 months, 90% of the smokers have transitioned. It's great!
