So every smoker knew I was getting an e-cig before it actually arrived on my doorstep. I'd been telling everyone about this new thing I'd been wanting to try for a while. I told them I couldn't guarantee it'd be as good as I had heard, but I'd be glad to tell them how it was once I'd had it for a while. When it came in, I was impressed. I have had one analog since it came in, just to see what it was like after the fact... and it was horrid. Needless to say, I made the switch.
On the bus to work, I stealth vape. A lot of older people ride the bus, and some of them might have asthma.. I'd prefer not to scare them and have them die of a heart attack from seeing something and assuming. In between buses, I don't stand way out of the way of people to vape. Granted, I let them get by and onto the bus. I've had quite a few people ask about my m601/2.. mostly people are excited. (Actually, someone could probably make some money printing out cards explaining what an e-cig is to people. I'd pay to not have to explain to every person that comes up, I am as a matter of fact, trying to enjoy my vape in peace.)
In the break-room, I vape. There is another person that did the same until his broke, unfortunately I was unaware of that until after the fact. It would've been nice to have another person there for support when someone got pissy. Today, I was puffing away, enjoying my break, when a guy that I know said "You're going to get in trouble doing that". The girl that was sitting there, apparently oblivious to the fact I'd been vaping not 3 feet away from her looks up and realizes that I'm doing something. I told him that as far as I know, there isn't a rule against it. .. She asked what it was, and before I could respond, he called it an electronic cigarette, and said I'd been smoking. She said "You can't smoke in the store!" and I responded politely saying that it wasn't smoke, it was vapor. I told her it wasn't a danger to her, and asked her if she could smell it. She said she couldn't, but when I took another puff, she said she could, and it smelled bad... (Huh?? She'd been sitting there the whole time I'd been vaping.. w/e).
I was using the Keoke Coffee liquid I just got in (quite lovely).. and I had already (with their permission) blown it in two non-smoker's faces. They both agreed it smelled wonderful.
I pointed it out to her that I'd been vaping the whole time, and she didn't say anything about it until it was made obviously clear that I was doing something. But I didn't take another puff after that so as not to offend her. I'm aware that it's a possibility you can't vape inside, but until I have someone that is salaried say something, I'll assume I can.
Also, there is an assistant manager of the store that is genuinely interested (as well as a few other people who have seen it and heard from me about the benefits) that might be joining these forums to learn more.
Anyway, that's my e-cig in public.
