Vaping increases productvity at the workplace?

[CBiz]

So back in February is when I first ventured into e-cigs. Went 2 months without an analog only to become lazy with vaping (ordering replacement parts, more e-juice, etc.) and turned back to analogs part time because it was easier to just buy a pack of cigs. I really enjoyed vaping and during those months I was taking less break time and working longer during the day. When I started back up on analogs my break time increased and they just couldn't come soon enough.

About a week ago I stocked up again on my e-cig equipment. Ready to be done once and for all with those nasty little analogs and what happens... I'm working like a mad man. The clock means very little to me while I sit at my desk vaping occasionally.

Anyone else experiencing these same "side effects."

 

[WomanOfHeart]

Yup. I sure am! I used to go outside to smoke at least once every hour or two. Now when I leave my desk it's because I need something to eat or drink, I'm heeding the call of nature, or I just need to walk away from my computer or a co-worker (yes, I work with an ...... that I need to get away from occasionally.) The clock is now just a means of measuring when I can go home and not when I can take a break or go to lunch. I'm very rarely logged out of any work applications or unavailable to take phone calls. I've become a bit of a workaholic, so to speak.

I also vape at work, and I no longer have to go outside to grab a smoke, so I should be saving the company time, but I also spend some time cruising ECF, so it balances out.

I work in a prison....no vapor for me at work.

I still go to the warehouse to vape (where I smoked) because I don't want to vape at my desk and start vaping constantly. But now sometimes 4 drags is enough, no more staying there to finish off the cigarette just because I lit it. And if I am busy at my desk, I'll take a vape or two at the desk. So yes, I am now at my desk more even though I am vaping as often as I smoked (which is pretty darn often, maybe every 20 min, sometimes more often)

I work out of the house and sitting in a seat in an airplane... I have seen my productivity increase since vaping. I had a bad habit of smoking on Conference calls which can last forever, and would find myself with the phone on mute, walking down the street and 45 minutes and 10 smokes later calling a cab to get home *lol* A little exaggerated but you get the point. I never tried to vape on a phone and really never felt the need too. I will sneak a vape when walking off the plane down the jet way... No Cameras then off to the next flight and dont have to stop in the smelly smoke rooms...

it must be nice to vape at work. i do not have that luxury. if you dont mind me asking, what type of work do you do that you have the luxury of vaping at your desk?

 

[Gabe1291]

I've had the same effect, lol. I tend to spend a lot of time on the computer in AutoCAD and Inventor at school, and now I don't have to constantly get up and leave to go get my fix......I've made a lot of my analog companions jealous since I can get away with it in class on our school's strict No Smoking Campus. Though it has opened them up to the idea of making the switch. The professor doesn't care either, so no issue there ^_^

It slows me down since it's harder to work one handed LOL

Well if you learn a few of the stealth tricks I learned to keep security off my back you can get away with it on the plane as well. The FAA approved them for use on planes last time I checked. I tend to fly a decent bit. The trick is to hold the vapor in for a bit longer, and you get almost no "smoke" on the exhale, well unless you are using a high VG mix. I normally run a 15/85-VG/PG mix. the last flight I was on my seat mate never noticed. Part of why I ordered my 510 in a metal finish though, it looks more like a ink pen, so it looks more like I'm chewing on a pen than vaping/smoking to the casual observer.....though on addendum, one of my 510 batts doesn't have an LED on it, so that adds to the stealth factor on it as well.

I vape at work too usually with an eGo passthrough. If I need to leave my office I just unplug the cord from the battery and off I go. At my work I'm the boss so I've declared the office a "vape friendly zone" so it's no issue and productivity has increased dramatically.

Fly a lot too, any flight from Perth is a long one so I do stealth vape on the plane. My technique is to take a vape as normal and then just take another short breath before exhaling and there is minimal vapor when I breath out. Oh and use a flavour that doesn't smell like a cigar or strong pipe tobacco. Coffee, coke or even no flavour for greater stealth.

 

[WomanOfHeart]

I work from home on Sundays so I can vape my fool head off. It's a straight 9 hours of being logged in and available. It makes me want to propose that our office become a "Vapor Friendly" environment.

 

[Zeroi]

How i wish that i could work for you. I was picturing that part when all your staff vaping and working happily.

I work in the Retail and i definetly cannot do the Vape thing on the Sales floor.

LOL try pulling this out on a plane, they'd prob think I was a terrorist

here's a better Idea on it's size, those are EGO's on the left next to it

 

[clark8876]

Yep...not the best selection for stealth. LOL

 

[Gabe1291]

Yah....that would put you at the front of the line for a cavity search......Remember stealth is the key not something that looks like part of a Bond villain's Doomsday Device

Yep... I can hear the snap of the rubber glove as it goes on...shudder!!!!

PMSL that's to funny!

You should see the size of it when I add the extension sleeve for 2x's 18650 batteries to vape 7.4 volts

Hmmm, time for a mod. Maybe a longer gooseneck and a button for the pv right under the space bar
