I work in a corporate office for a large family of national restaurants.
I am in charge of national promotions and test. Creating training aids, training restaurants and working with our Chef team to operationalize their creations.

Being in the office I keep it low key. I just go into a restroom stall. Sure beats taking the elevator down into the horrible Orlando heat!

Now, friends know about my change and think it's awesome. But as stated, I keep it low key since I am in a corporate structure... if the president walked by my office and I was puffing away? Don't know.

We have fleet cars as offices and most of the guys that share my office on my opposite nights love the fact that they dont have to find spit bottles anymore in the car. They are also happy that they dont smell the smoke. I smoked every so often when I didnt have my copenhagen on me.

I'm a local 3 electrician. Years ago we could smoke on construction sites and nobody would say a word. Now you never know when a safety guy will pop up, fine you and kick you off the job! So the smokers are definately jealous of me as they sneak their cigs with the chance of a layoff while Im vaping away with no worries! Safety guys have aproached me yelling, until I explain to them what I'm doing and then they walk off a little puzzled. So now several coworkers have made the switch! I'm definately glad I work in a vape friendly environment

Ahem, WHERE'S THE JUICE???



If memory serves me, there's only 1 casino in Tampa. I used to be a frequent guest in the poker room. Is smoking still acceptable? Hmm, If I were to vape at the table, I might just distract a few and win some extra pots. More $$$ for V4L!!!

I was thinking the same thing, Haven't been out there in a while, I used to pick up my analogs at the shop right next to them to save money. Will have to come out there and find some ATMS at the poker tables :)

I'm a Sr Software Engineer for a large medicare/medicaid insurance provider, I am still waiting on my tornado to get here but I know of at least 1 other vaper in one of the other buildings that is in Infrastructure that was vaping at his desk, I have told my boss what I am doing and he is a smoker so he might let me just vape at my desk, I bill out to much for him to want me not coding LOL.

IT in EVERY way imaginable. Even a Phone-Tech for Sales Reps with connectivity at their homes trying to diag. probs. with their ISP and e-mail support. (I translate between users, and programmers also. hehee) Overall we have about 1800 users, on and off-site.

(Slackware) Linux, Windows Servers & Workstations, and *IX galore.

No probs here since the company is privately owned and we have little need for BS with playing "Um... we don't want you doing that here." I walked around with my CHUCK in hand, until I got my 1st Prodigy V2, now this doesn't leave my hand. I give demonstrations about 2x a week, if I am at a user's desk and they ask "What is that?"

Phone support for an associate in Hawaii as of the last two days too...

I'm work in a flexible plastics manufacturing company. I travel between a few countries but have my own office most of the time so no one really says anything about my vaping habit.

People around me knows that i use ecigs but the novelty factor has worn off after almost 2 years. They no longer say anything or look at me funny anymore. Converted quite a few of them and we bulk buy most of the time for our supplies.

Yes! I have to give it a shot next time I'm in Vegas. I can use all the distractions I can get. :evil:

I work for a brand that sells these beautiful little devices. I don't mention the name because I don't want folks thinking I'm here to evangelize. :) I've been analog free for almost five months and I'm LOVING it. Just got done reading Dvaps blog on "What's missing from cigarettes and think I fall more into the 4th group of people, but I'm satisfied enough to stick with it. Most of my family uses it now and I couldn't be happier. I proudly consider myself a serial vapist :)

I work for a telecommunications company in the IT department some of my close coworkers know about my ecig.But I work 2nd shift so I start at 2 and wait till after 5 to smoke at my desk before then i slink off to the mens room and sit in a stall to do it. No company policy one or the other officially.
