Vaping In Public

[juggler86]

Was wondering if I'm a minority here because I'm against non chalant vaping in indoor public/private businesses...ie walmart.

For some reason it has always bothered me when ive seen people throwing clouds in the store like its nobodies biz. Its 1 thing to vape late at night in walmart or in other empty businesses. These people are giving us a bad name by forcing it In peoples faces. Its like Come on we couldnt smoke in the store so why do you feel the need to cloud up the isle. These people embarass me as a vapor.

Do me and the general public a favor and stealth hit your mod, because you are making the vape community look inconiderate. All it takes is 1 person to make a person form an opinion on a whole community.

You hit the nail on the head. Big clouds is why most businesses in my area have been putting up sighs "NO Vapor Electronic Cigarettes".
Its obnoxious because I made sure if I did use in a business to try to make as little visible as possible.

I have seen only one thing I approved of for big clouds in a business and that was a guy chucking clouds in the bathroom stall at Walmart covering the smell of his paperwork.

The other problem is what if others around you are allergic to any of the ingredients in your juice? i was vaping a clove juice that had natural clove flavoring in it at a buddies house. after a while he started breaking out in hives and his eyes got super red and itchy. Turns out he is allergic to cloves.

Hello juggler86, I'm into day 10 of vaping. Being new, I have kept to the ostracized "smoker zones" to play it safe... and wow... I didn't realize smoking smelled that horrible! I'm definitely interested in hearing others experiences or wisdom. Thanks for starting this thread.

That's interesting I've never heard of a reaction like that. I personally know people that can't vape due to allergies but have no reaction from being in a cloud filled shop.

This vaping thing indoors might spill over to the people who wear fragrances. Are they going to go after them since they are making me choke with perfumes and colognes? I don't wear those but I have to gag and choke everywhere I go.

Couldn't agree more Matt.
Its funny because if you say anything about it a lot of people think your crazy.
I was in a vape shop the other day and a guy came in and suddenly it went from smelling like a bakery and everybody having a good time to smelling like cologne and everybody being upset there vape tasted like the cologne.

this particular case is a bit on the extreme side. the room wasn't even fogged out or anything. turns out he is pretty allergic to cloves. he doesnt like those kind of tastes or fragrances so he had never been exposed to it before. its merely something to think about. I get allergies to some perfume fragrances so i get itchy eyes and stuffed up from some people who bathe themselves in perfumes. Iv had to leave rooms before and have to completly avoid those perfume sections in department stores

My dad has some asthma when I was using a juice that was higher in vg 70/30 i believe, I myself respect others especially out in public places. I have yet to see anyone else vape in stores, so hopefully I don't

 

[iTiger]

I think that it boils down to moderation, discretion, & courtesy but it seems a lot of people lack those.

And T4T3Z0R I feel you about avoiding the fragrance area at stores as my allergies go crazy if many people have been testing. One that is worse for me is the laundry detergent section as it makes me choke from the smell.

At the community college I attend, I did hear about a student getting ticketed for vaping inside. With everything I've seen on GrimmGreen's channel and casaa.org being a vaper is a struggle which I feel is sad. What makes it more difficult is that "kids" are making it that much more difficult. See also: the 16 year olds who tried to purchase stuff at the local shop during my last visit. Sorry for rambling- I just don't want this alternative to disappear due to ignorance.

If everyone was an ....... in public, because other people were .......s in public, we'd just have a big parade of .......s parading around all day every day. Do you really wanna add to the growing pool of .......s? Who wants to be in a pool of .......s?

Speaking of perfume...

Once knew a guy who was VERY allergic to perfumes. Walking into a mall through a department store, he accidently wandered through the cosmetics dept (was the shortest route into the mall). He was fine until one of the idiot drones sprayed directly into his face (I understand she had done similar to many other people in the past): dude layed her out, right there. No thought, just swung blindly while hacking and tearing up.

I do think a lot of the problems with vaping indoors being banned comes from folks seeing cloud chasers

I personally no longer want to be lumped in with smokers. Smoked 15 years and no that I don't, especially with current stigma, I don't want to be assosciated. When we put it in peoples face, like smokers sometimes do, the uninitiated group us together with the smokers. But we're not a nuisance or a menace, and we're NOT SMOKERS.

Maybe it's just because I like my bubble that I try to stay out of others'. Truthfully, I don't want a chaser blowing clouds in my direction either while I shop, or eat, or watch a movie. So I keep it outside, out of respect.

 

[MatthewCJ3]

I just stay home - tired of trying to figure out the rules.

People should not ruin a good thing and where you can not smoke you do not vape.

As far as indoors, it doesn't hurt my feelings that people don't want me chucking clouds their way. Limited airflow, sensitivity to fragrances, etc. What really grinds my gears however is the outdoor smoking bans that include vaping.

 

[Serielle Vapist]

In my humble opinion vaping is like anything else, it would bother me equally if someone is being loud and obnoxious on their cell phone as it would to be vaping on a dual coil dripper like mine and billowing out clouds in public. Common sense would say that a little consideration is required in both cases, but people seem to lack common sense these days

 

[RavenZ]

Just because you can do it, Doesn't mean you should do it.
It's understandable people don't want to see clouds in let's say Walmart, so be All Grown Up and chuck the clouds outside. This type of behavior will & has given vapers a bad rap.
Not everybody wants to smell vape no matter how good or bad it smells have respect for others seriously, thats what you have a home for!
