In the small town that I live in almost everyone I see if they are vaping, which is far and few in between - are vaping the analog look alikes. I get a few stares / questions and I am only using a Joye Ego 510 Standard. I have had a few questions and I point them to ECF to learn more. But -

I cannot even imagine walking down the street with a Provari, Silver Bullet, or some of the other mods I have seen people showing pics of. :?:

How do you do it? :vapor:

I get eyeballed all the time while vaping on my PV. When asked, I assure them it's not illegal drugs, and, in fact "This little contraption made it possible for me to quit smoking!"

It's the one on the left:

It's our duty to exhale clouds of vapor around smokers. Until we came along, all they've seen were the wispy things they've seen on the news or commercials. As long as it's not a No-Smoking zone, it's our duty to inform the loved ones of those who still smoke.

Switch, quit, or die.
I'd rather switch than die. (and did!)
Others have a right to know that there are safer alternatives to smoking. Alternatives that work fantastically. Alternatives that blow their smokes to eiche eee double hockey stix.

In 10 month of vaping each and every day at any monent in public, I am a public person, I only once had a negative reaction. Most of the time I use a box mod in public. Many people do look at me, wondering what it is, and if I have time enough I explain to them what it is all about. Most people I talk to find it an excelent alternative to cigarets.
 
How do you do it?

I don't know....I really don't think about it much.

I'm not the type to pay a lot of attention to people's reactions, so I just vape whenever I want to. Occasionally I'll pick up on one or two people's behavior, and some sort of conversation might take place; but it's usually just the nasty look or fake cough thing. Those in the latter category are the people who need me to react to them, and I don't feed that kind of immaturity.

I've had some strange looks and use a box mod most of the time, with clear cartos, haven't had any negative comments. I'm too old to care what anyone thinks, (lime green plaid bermuda shorts are the height of fashion)...:lol:

and have also vaped my boxes in public with this on top....

That would be the "Drip On Demand" from Madvapes Mooreted :D A Fantastic device to be sure from what I have seen of it and read in reviews. Kinda like a bottm feeder except it is a "Top Feeder" :D


As far as vaping in public, I really do not care what others think of it. They can Pack Sand for all I care if they don't like it. Sure I get some funny looks with a Black Provari and a Stainless Steel DC Map Tank on it or my SGT VV Army Tank. However, Who in the Heck are the shallow, moronic, ignorant and unable to comprehend anything outside of their own pathetic existence People to tell ME what I should or should not do? Why do I care about what they "Think" when they could care less about what I "KNOW"?

So I say this "Vape On, Vape Publicly and Vape Proud! Because YOU have done something to change your lot in life :D"

Why Not? You walked down the street with a cigarette hanging out of your mouth didn't you? There is absolutely no difference.

I take that back, there is a world of difference. You should be more proud to walk down the street vaping a very large e-cig.

You are now using a product that cannot harm people from second hand smoke.

You are using a product that does not kill you like cigarettes did and is in fact saving your life.

You are using a product that does not have a nasty strong odor that will turn people off.

When smoking a cigarette you are the bad guy smoking that nasty cigarette that's killing you and those around you.

Now, you've become the good guy. An angel with a message of hope that tells people Try This, It can save your life too!

To not proudly vape in public is actually the wrong thing to do IMO. People don't know what you know about e-cigs. So what they have their preconceived notions about it looking like smoking bla bla bla. It's not smoking, you know it, they need to know it.

Unless the world becomes comfortable seeing vapers in public standing up proud for this wonderful life saving tool people won't know about it to let it save their lives. You can be that messenger of Hope.

Do this. Go to your local Wal-Mart with your PV, stand in the middle of the isle and take a Big HUGE vape. Look around, wait a sec, and do it again! This will help calm your fears that it really IS o.k. to vape in public.

I vape in Wal-Mart constantly in front of Customer Service, In front of the Rent-a- Cop, at the Register, In the Food section. In 7 months only one time did any store official say, No smoking in here, and i said to them, it's not smoke, It's an Electronic Cigarette, it produces Steam - vapor and they said, " oh.. O.k. no problem then".

I cannot tell you how many customers, store managers and employees come up to me and asked me " Do they really work? I need one for my son or daughter so they can stop smoking, How much are they, Cheaper than cigarettes?" etc

Give it a try, you could just help save someones life and That to me it worth all the bureaucracy and BS. I know you can do it. I have faith in you. The worst they can do is ask you to stop. No big deal.

LOL. My usual expression{1} instructs somebody to find length of rope, take a trip to the bathroom, and to attempt a gravity-defying trick with it.

{1} Reserved for antis who come at me with a battle axe and a sanctimonious attitude.
