I'm an Administrative Assistant (aka glorified secretary). One of my smoking co-workers was enthralled when I brought my ecig to work. We had a great laugh when I shut the door to my office and let her try it. Next thing I know, she's running down to the General Manager's office with it, vaping it in front of him asking if we can "smoke" these at our desks. He said, "No," but laughed and thought it was the neatest thing. He's an ex-smoker that quit cold turkey about 6 months ago, but his eyes lit up. Hopefully, he's off the stuff for good, but if he relapses I bet I know what he's going to try. 
p.s. Stealth vaping is so fun. Tee hee!

Outside Leadman at a grain holding facility. (elevator) Only two employees outside. They both bought em after I explained it but one week in they sold em to me. Good for me bad for them. Only draw back is at times Iam 200 feet in the air and Im too worried to drop it,so I have to go with out,grrrr. All good though workin on a month no analogs !!
Hi All, I'm a graphic designer and 3 weeks analog-free. I sit at a desk for 8+ hours a day. I started vaping there about a week ago, nobody said boo until last week when my manager said in front of everyone that the smell bothered her and that I must take it outside. The ironic thing is, about an hour latter, someone burned the microwave popcorn they were making, and that offended me. But my manager didn't say SH%T about that. Thanks for a place to vent.

I am a musician and I work at a music store. At work; no problem. On stage....well maybe a drag or two between songs if the owner of the venue is OK with it. Not always appropriate depending on where I'm playing. Gone are the days of playing guitar with a lit cigarette hanging out of my mouth.
I'm a dispatcher for a Black Car company in NYC, and I vape at my desk. My coworkers keep asking me about my PV and my boss asked if he could try it out (gave him my spare batt and fresh cart) tried it, liked it, ordered it then and there. Guess my boss is convinced and the company owner is also asking questions... Another possible convert
I'm a former truck driver. I drove team operation with my husband for 12 years. I wish I'd known about e-cigs while I was still driving! Especially in states with a public smoking ban. On a lay-over I usually just stayed in the truck with my analogs and didn't go into the truckstop. I haven't driven the truck in 6 years, and I'm sure smoking laws have changed since then.
Now, I vape in public at restaurants with smoking areas. I've gotten a lot of curious looks, but no questions as yet.

You ask? What do I do for a living, ....what I worked for many many years for: RETIREMENT. It's wonderful.............golf, vape, and golf some more.
I coordinate deliveries for a warehouse that distributes cigarettes. Stealth vaping is slowly becoming a thing of the past since we started stocking e-cigs a few weeks ago and everyone is converting. The biggest problems come from the smokers screaming "thats not fair that they get to smoke".
I don't know any architects that DON'T create full size plans in model space
That's always been my pet peeve for engineers Always doing the 1:12 ratio or such
I've been using Revit/BIM for the last two years... so now all my buildings are full-size 3D... I think scales will go the way of paper sets soon enough!
I am a Manufacturing Information Technology Consultant (Self-Employed). Ive been working, on site, at the same customer, since I started the eCigs. At this gig, Im doing mostly SQL programming and portal development. I share a large room with 5 other people, who are direct employees of this company. I ask them permission, before I Vaped there. No one had any issues with it. It was great!
This customer has Clean-Rooms. They are climate controlled and are under a large positive pressure and the incoming air has massive filters to keep the dust partials down to a minimum. You have to wear special garments called bunny-suits (youve guest it, you look like a bunny), with a face mask; so you dont have anything fall off you, on to the product. I dont work in the clean-room, I work in a normal office.
A couple months ago, somebody who works in one of these clean-rooms (Im convinced that he should not be allowed to breed), decided to Vape, in the clean-room, right through the mask. It set off all the sensors and engineers went running out to see what catastrophe could be causing the alarms to go off. There he is blowing the most beautiful vapor all over the place.
Needless to say; they issued a plant wide policy. No eCigarettes in the building. I now huddle with all the smokers in the New England Cold or summer rain.

I took the early retirement package with my company. For 36 years, I was a tech rep with a multinational company that manufactures and sells high volume electronic printers (up to 180 pages per minute). I always had to go outside, smoke two analogs, and go back in for a couple of hours. I sometimes wonder where I could have vaped at work.
About half the time I was in commercial print shops and the other half in computer rooms. I imagine that the IT environment would not have allowed E-cigs, but the printers wouldn't mind, especially since you only vape periodically and can hold the vapor until there's no visible vapor on exhale. I probably could have vaped in computer rooms since I spent a lot of time with fans blowing air past me. the vapor would have disappeared in a flash and the smell is dependent on the juice. I would certainly have tried fruits and vanilla in that environment rather than tobacco flavors.

I am a field service tech... fixing broken PC's, so my office is my truck and the coffee shop with free internet access beside the Fed Ex depot. I vape in my truck all day long. At the coffee shop, I will vape at the outside tables. I will not vape in the customer's home or place of business (most of my work is done in private homes). I have found that since I gave up cigarettes, I can tell the homes that allow smoking. Before every house smelled of tobacco because that odor was with me all the time.
I am a retail buyer for an amusement park. I have been vaping for two weeks now. I was the only smoker in the department. My office is located at the end of a hallway and I vape in there all the time. Only a few people have seen me do it and they were all cool about it. I certainly don't plan on pulling it out during a meeting or in front of guests if I am out in the park, I don't see how my office would be a problem. I always have a plug in airfreshener in there anyway because the building has always just stunk to me.
I work at a grass-roots animal welfare non-profit. I vape at work all the time! My boss loves it since she gets more work out of me because I don't take smoke breaks! I take my pv with me everywhere - staff meetings, when I'm copying donation forms once a week, and sometimes I still take a 'smoke break' with my friends who still smoke. I use my ecig and they smoke. I've even taken it out when I was at the HSUS Expo last month. Lots of activist types look at you cross eyed when they think the see smoke, but then they notice the blue light (not red fire). I love my ecig!
I'm a Senior Healthcare Technical Officer (read senior lab technician/junior scientist) for the NHS. I don't vape in the lab, simply because hand-to-mouth action in a room full of potential biohazards isn't too clever If I start getting wibbly, I have been known to slide off to the waste room or one of the walk-ins for a sly toke, but generally I use the smoking area on breaks. It's as much a social thing as anything else.
When I'm not doing that, I'm a TA infantryman (UK's version of the National Guard). My platoon sergeant smokes and the signals stores are well away from battalion HQ and the grown-ups therein. Vape anywhere I like....
