Weird stares/weird things people say while vaping

[TheOdessa]

Today I am working on the back porch of my apartment. I am vaping on an iStick at 20 watts on my Lemo that is microcoiled at 1.3ohms with 100% VG Juice. I am blowing some pretty big clouds and it looks like a mini club on my porch with all the vapor and still air. When people walk past my place, I always get double takes or people look down like I'm doing something bad.

At a parade recently I heard someone shout while passing me "did you see that? He's smoking that loud." Since I listen to rap music a lot, I figure smoking that loud means smoking an organic leaf that is known for blowing big clouds of smoke.

Most of the time I get comments from people who are genuinely curious as to what I am doing as I vape sweet flavor, but today the stares are cracking me up. It cracks me up after I vape a full tank (6mL) of juice in my apartment and someone comes over. They don't know what to think walking into a cloud.

Also when I pull up to a gas station after vaping with the windows closed, its funny to watch people stare as I get out and the vapor billows out.

Anyone get the most awkward stares or comments while vaping?

Clam vaping is great. I don't care what people think at all because I have nothing to hide. I blow clouds all over regardless of where I'm at. Except I don't do it in public places or places where cigs aren't allowed.

I might, but I usually don't pick up on it if I do.

driving on the highway yesterday, i was in the backseat vaping my ego(1.8ohms 50/50juice so not super huge clouds)


and some guy driving on our right, has a blunt/cigar lit hanging from his mouth as he was "trying to catch up" to our car to see what i was "smokin".


this was literaly his expression as he was staring at me

I vape right up to the doors of stores and waiting to get wrestled
to the ground thinking I just dropped a gun in my jacket pocket.

I have to roll down the windows. I am getting tired of constantly wiping the film off the inside of my windshield.

Lol same thing in my car. It especially sucks early in the morning with the glare of the sun xD I really need to take some window cleaner to the inside of the windshield.

I've got to the point that when I 'feel' the stares
I don't hesitate, I just freely blurt out in a strong voice...

it's an E-L-E-C-T-R-O-N-I-C / C-I-G-A-R-E-T-T-E

it has liquid nicotine in it, gets heated and turns into Vapor

it made me qwit smoking the old kind of dangerous cigarettes

then from there, some scuff and walk away,
but some/many are curious and inquire more

and I am plenty happy to expand about ecigs...

I couldn't care less about what people think when I vape in public. A) it's 100% legal, B) I always shout, "IT IS WHAT YOU THINK IT IS!" (just kidding), C) I don't vape where smoking isn't allowed (only exception is the movie theater). If someone gives me the cough-cough wave-wave, I don't give it a second thought, especially if it's out in the open. If someone were to ask me not to vape around them (and no one ever has, after two and half, almost three years), I would oblige them. I'm not an obnoxious vaper, I'll accommodate other peoples' rights. But if I feel I'm within my right to vape in public, I will. Especially in open-air situations, like festivals, carnivals, outdoor concerts, etc. I've had more people ask why everything smells like butterscotch, and not, "this guy stinks like smoke".

i roll up to the scale house in this....

and it looks like this...

every day.

no problem.

I get an occasional comment but then Im vaping to stay off cigarettes instead of trying to make it a competitive Olympic sport.

I would imagine that ordering a double shot of whiskey and spilling half of it down the front of my shirt in an effort to look cool, would draw the same kinda stares and comments as related by the OP...but apparently thats just me.

I experienced that once, others stared at me and astonished look came over their face, and I went away in dejection.

a friend of ours had a motorcycle wreck back in september and is in a rehab facility now (the PT not drug kind) and the security guard there has a hard on for us vapors.

He comes to greet me as I'm walking up usually just as I'm giving the iStick five clicks to the pocket with a "NO SMOKING!" which I usually just tell him I've put it away thanks and have a good day.

Sunday I kinda let him have it.."it is NOT smoking nor a tobacco product and I'm not going to the smoking patio because they actually are smoking tobacco products and it makes me sick" then he went looking for Ed to tell him "NO SMOKING" *lol* but I honor their "no smoking" policy it's Med Center they're strict and have bored rental cops.

Our friend's room has monitoring robot with cam and sound, so I sneak in his bathroom if we're staying for longer *lol* catch me if you can!! *neener*

Vaping has become somewhat more common these days. I see more and more people out and about with their ecigs (usually small stick ones like an ego). We had an early xmas present for my wife delivered and as the two guys were installing the washer and dryer he saw me vape a little and started telling me about his mech mod.

I try and keep the clouds mellow in public and I find myself more and more stealth vaping cause it's very easy to get away with.

 

[SndGrdn]

The one I always get is...."Is that a {Other Thing}" and I reply it could be if you got the right juice...
