I personally will never vape inside of a movie theater. Sure it's not real smoke and doesn't smell and all that good business, but it is still a thick vapor that you're shooting into the air that, for a moment, can block someones view of the screen with a cloud of vapor. People will think you're smoking and they'll be ....... Hope they don't get ...... enough to tell someone and get you thrown out of the theater.

I never received an official answer, but I did inquire about AMC/Regal's stance on e-cigarettes. Amy Miles, CEO- AMC/Regal, inc., has been a client of the company I worked for. As we were discussing some of the services I inquired about usage. She was unaware of e-cigs' existence. Her immediate concerns were whether the e-cigs light-up, as it would be a distraction to other guests. The other concern was the cloud. I gave her q uick FYI regarding e-cigs and hope for the best.

I have vaped in a movie theatre, although I exhaled through my nose and into my shirt. No LED, so no visual distraction. Vape on. Just be considerate.

I've tried vaping in a theater but I stopped after a few drags due to the sound of my carto.
I was, iirc, using a dual coil lr carto with a liquinator.
Its does give some popping sounds (at times) and the "draw" sound was too loud for my liking.
I didn't wanna disturb my neighbours so I stopped. Was probably a quiet moment in the movie anyway haha

A "quiet" carto would have been fine :)

I've been doing this regularly for almost 3 years. Sitting in or towards the back, obscuring the LED, holding it in an extra couple seconds and exhaling forcefully towards my lap. No problems yet. Except I think it has slightly irritated people I've been with who know exactly what I'm doing (like trying to top up a cart in the dark) and find it distracting. In the future, if I remember, I'll have a 510-T with a pen-cap over the LED so they're not bothered. The LED button on an eGo is a bit difficult to conceal in total darkness.

I've been having good luck vaping at the movie theaters near me.

During "Hunger Games" on the opening night in a packed theater, I only got noticed when I got a bit careless and let out a big plume of smoke without a double inhale. Even that wasn't that bad, I was just embarassed when a woman behind me said "What?!? Is he smoking something?!?", after which point I was more discreet.

This past week, I went to see "21 Jump Street" with my nephew, and specifically inquired of the person at the counter what the AMC policy on e-cigs was.

He asked his manager then stated "We don't have any official policy, but they aren't allowed [pe se. If someone gets upset, we'll kick you out".

Pretty good experience, and the movie wasn't, honestly, as terrible as I'd expected, which was an added bonus.

I vape in the theaters here where I live. I always sit far in the back and I only vape 100% PG juice so there is not as much vapor. I don't chainvape or anything but I usually will blow the vape into my jacked or tuck my shirt over my mouth. I don't want to get vapor up near the camera box.

Me too:) Using 100% PG juice, hold for a beat on the inhale and no vapor issue. Prolly shouldn't use one of the lighted-end PV's though. They look like a beacon in the movie theatre - "Look everyone, I'm Vaping!". :facepalm:
