Vaping in public

[mgmrick]

E-cigs for me the most amazing product I have ever used. After 33 years of smoking over two packs a day I tried e-cigs 18 days ago. I have not lit an analog cig since then.

I have seen zero people using these things...anybody out there use these besides me?

Heh.... tons. Over a million in the US, estimated. Unfortunately, a lot of areas in this country (NY especially) treat smokers as lepers... so most of the time, we keep it low-key in public. Tends to reduce the hassle.

Just keep your eyes open... you'll run across someone eventually.

You can see me sometimes in Midtown Manhattan with madvapes 2AA mod Box
But, you know, you can walk naked in NYC and people wouldn't react...

 

[Liv2Ski]

Same here. I stealthed all day at the kids softball games here in upstate NY

With the ecig gaining momentum on the world market, it has become not just a new trend but a way of life for cigarette & non-cigarette smokers alike.

I like Public, because i don't have to go out side.If i see someone that is smoking i Love showing them the Ecig.

The friends I converted around here vape outside with me when I see them. I can't speak for them, but I vape in public all the time...I don't even think about it anymore. If someone ever told me no, I suppose I would explain what it was, and if they still said no I wouldn't argue and just go somewhere else next time or not vape. But, that hasn't happened.

Do wish I saw other people (strangers) vaping though. Back when I drank, I had a bartender tell me I was the second person that day to bring one in, but we missed each other

at this small college that I attend I have seen about 3 other people using one its really neat because you have a lot of things to talk about, almost like you have known them for years

I live in a town with a population of less than 7,000. Not many people around here have even heard of PVs, much less use them in public.

I have yet to see anyone with an ecig. But I keep looking!

i was vaping in traffic on the southern state parkway, someone next to me recommended this website, so here i am.

Anyway, i've e-cigged it in a couple of public places with little to no hassle. was vapping in a car dealership yesterday & nobody even really cared.

Here in Sydney there are vapers as I have met them on the net but I have never seen one in person.
I vape in public and get an occasional look but most seem to pay no attention.
I vape outside with occasional stealth's here and there.
E-cigs are pretty new here.

I vape everywhere. I never really get a hard time for it. The only time i stealth vape is when i volunteer at my daughters school. Then the kids ask what the watermelon smell is. But at college i vape in class, at the lunchroom i vape like crazy, i did a presentation at my public speaking class and vaped in the presentation. I find it great. I only had 2 confrontations and once I explained it, they were more curious than anything. I love watching people fidget as they want to ask to try it but dont want to share germs. Amazing how when you have a reg cig people have no problems taking a drag but on the ecig it seems so much more invasive.

I was at a Tea Party Rally yesterday. Vaping on one side of the field and a woman came past me and said "e-cog - good for you. I use one and have converted most of my area (work area) to them.
Later vaping on the other side another woman walked past and said "I love the vapor". Then others.
To make a way too long story short - I met 5 vapors in one afternoon - within about 3 hours.
It is growing and I hope the Gov is too busy just now to fuss over it. They lost about $ 300 in taxes from me in the last 2 months. 13 trillion in debt - got to get that sin tax money since everyone knows sins should be taxed. Spit on them.

I have converted 8 people to vaping in the 2 weeks I have been doing it. However I come in contact with alot of people and never seen one vaper.

 

[WomanOfHeart]

I'll vape while waiting for the elevator so I can go outside and vape some more. LOL! One of my coworkers saw me doing this, asked me about it, then came outside with me to find out more. His father was a long time smoker and now he's dying of lung cancer. His mother is still smoking about a PAD. He wanted to get her e-cigs but hadn't seen anyone use them until me. I sent him the links to a few highly recommended vendors I got from here. I hope she makes the change!

I'll stealth vape in my office and another coworker will use his PT in the evenings and weekends when almost no one is around.

 

[AlexPerth]

I vape prety much everywhere. Very rarely people have bothered me, I personally think its because they expect to smell it - but cant!

When people have asked me, I say its not a cigarette, its not making smoke - its a device giving off vapour to help me quit smoking.

The gov't is never to busy to get into our personal lives, unfortunately. The whole country could be on fire or be overcome by the bubonic plague and they'd still be passing legislation that interferes in our personal choices.

Nice to see that you attended a TP rally. I've been to several, myself.

Well, I have been telling friends and family about vaping, they look at me like I have 3 heads. I am waiting for my first order which should be to me this week and honestly after reading all the members who converted, I'm sure I can too, but really can't wait to start vaping and explaining this to all the smokers I know!

 

[Luca]

And I'm curious to see people's expressions when in Public!
