Exactly my situation. I have been stealth vaping at my desk all day for 4.5 months, a few friends know, but that is it. I assume that managment would not approve if I asked, so I just don't ask, and don't tell.

We have a contract with the mall and they have to let me vape. If they tried to stop me we could sue them. Techically vaping is a part of my job and I am actually paid to do it.
I'm not really seeing your point with all this. Do you have see-through stalls or something?
Anyway, it's very easy to vape without anybody knowing, even if they see you with your "pen in your mouth". Just don't blow out clouds.
I vape at my desk though no one knows it. I am on the end of a hallway and there are 4 empty cubicles between me and the next person (reduction in force and happy I still have a job). I take a drag every now and then and blow it out discretely. I still go outside when I really want to vape steadily like when I smoked analogs. Everyone who smokes out there knows about them but
I've never brought it up to management and don't see any need to. Never know which way they might go.

I work at a telco CO. The office/cubicle area is separated from the equipment that's protected by halon/flm-200. My director is cool about it and I can vape all day in the cubicle area, I dare not try in the CO itself though in case it sets off suppression. I was told it costs close to $120k to refill and makes quite the mess 
I am lucky in that I am sort of the boss, so I can vape at will in my office. I am also lucky that my core team consists of a fellow vaper and a non-judgmental ex-smoker. When we take over a conference room it is like something from "Mad Men". Particularly cool when the video projector picks up the vapor.
I vape all day at my desk. My cube is located in the corner so it's fairly discreet. I was the first one at my office to get a PV. Since then I've converted several others, including my boss (VP), HR manager, Production manager and a shift supervisor haha..so I'm lucky that I can pretty much vape anywhere I want at work. The only reactions I've had so far have been positive. People just laugh when the see me puffing away at my desk, but I work in a fairly close knit small(ish) office. We all know each other pretty well and don't sweat the small stuff...
My point in all this is that I don't have to hide and run the risk of someone finding out and possibly lose my job or get into some kind of disciplinary action. My main point in starting the thread was that I was surprised at how accomodating my employer was and how happy I was that I didn't have to "hide" what I was doing.
The stalls aren't see through, but I don't know if someone will be coming in the bathroom until they are already there. At some point I can see how someone may see "smoke" because I didn't anticipate them coming into the bathroom and have expelled vapor. Sometimes even when I hold my breath there is some vapor expelled so that may be seen. As a "go-to person" my cubicle is open and people are coming in and out of my area all day, the LED would probably give it away as something other than a pen. Or the fact that when I answered their question little wisps of vapor were trainling from my mouth.
I try to be proactive rather than reactive.
I vape all day long in my office. My boss knows and HR knows. I do not walk around the common areas with my PV. I do not want to awaken the antis!
i work at a well known computer retail store usually has a big fruit on the front and located in malls and such
everyone knows about my vaping and they all don't care and love that i quit
i do it in the back room every day. so awesome.

I vape at work, but only in seclusion. There are alot of anti's there and I prefer to let them think they have won the war, so to speak. It works out great most of the time as I do not have to go out in thecold anymore. E-cigs do not work well when the temp gets low. I mostly vape in an empty conference room, sometimes in the bathroom. The main thing, it's warm in the winter, and cool in the summer. Works out great for me, lol. Keep vaping at work under wraps, unless you work for an understanding company. A few people know about me, but it hasn't bothered anyone yet. I plan on keeping it that way.

I started vaping inside our building (a Federal one, at that), about a month and a half ago, and no one has said anything negative yet. I vape discretely, and still feel like I have to hide it (I know.. I shouldn't). There are about a dozen others in my building who have started vaping in the past month, and a few of them were bolder than I have been. One went right to his boss, showed it to him, and blew a puff of vapor and asked him to smell it. He's still vaping in the office now, a month later. But, I still hesitate because when MY boss called for me about two months ago and a coworker said "He's out smoking", she responded, "Oh, I didn't know he smoked... I'll PRAY for him." I'll be content to keep vaping privately, and thank God MYSELF for e-cigarettes...
Guess it all depends on how you do it, and who's in charge

im vaping in my office right now if they fired me for it, i would sue, NO JOKE
its no different than using a nicotine inhaler or any other thing like that they have out now to quit, so seriously... if they fire you for it, get a good lawyer and sue

this being said by the way, no one here cares that i smoke the e cig, my boss wants me to quit real smokes and all the other ppl here are fascinated by the e cig so its all good ; )
keep in mind i also go out side too when i need to stretch my legs, im a developer so im sitting down in front a computer all day so i still need breaks
I vape in the ambulance all the time. The only problem has been when some random driver saw me doing so and called into dispatch complaining that I was smoking in the truck. I just denied it (since I wasn't) and was fine.
I work at a big box store in the garden dept. I showed some of my managers my pv and they all thought it was cool. Nobody has told me I couldn't vape, so i do! I vape in the break room sometimes, but mostly take a few discreet hits while in the garden. Life is good!
I'm new to vapping but I seem to feel like I'm doing something illegal when vapping in public. At work I keep it low key and keep watch for busy bodies that don't need to know.
At training this week at a different facility, I've been going out with the smokers but feel like I need to address the device before it is dialogued to others as being something that it is not.
One wierd thing for me is that I seem to get a better vape when I'm at home. For whatever reason when I'm driving or at the office I feel a need to hotbox the damn thing. Ofcourse this then leads to recharging batteries wherever I go.
I just tried the pen spring mod in the cart which has brought some improvement but I need to attempt a better execusion and perhaps get a higher nicotine level.

I have been doing it at my cube at work for over a week now and no one has had issue with it. I am surrounded by smokers who are a bit jealous and I think I have some potential converts including my boss. I do not see a need to hide it but do not recommend flaunting it either.
