I keep my 400 mah and now a V Tox with me all the time. The cig-a-likes tend to bring negative attention. The stainless battery and blue V Tox are different enough from cigarettes to just generate interested questions. I stay away from analog groups so I don't get started again. At work I am tolerated but I still keep it low profile. My personal goal is to not vape and not smoke in the near future.

Vamo V5 with either a Protank, a Protank 2 or an evod.. depending on what I'm vaping.

LOTS of people ask questions, and I'm totally okay with that. Most people note "ZOMG, THAT THING IS HUGE." to which some smartass comment generally tries to pop out of my mouth, but doesn't...however, I don't mind. I'm more than happy to explain why it is that I have a larger hookahdoodle than 'normal?' Being that I wanted way more battery life.

I'm just curious what everyone likes to use when they are driving or otherwise in public.

When I ordered my two Spinner batteries, I had intended them for home use only. I thought that I would stick to my Volts (cig-alikes) for public use (especially driving) to avoid unnecessary suspicion/negative attention. However I'm finding that after using the Spinners for about a week, I'm giving less of a crap than I thought I would, and have been happily vaping them while driving. :)

I still think if I saw a cop I would keep the Spinner out of sight though, for fear they might not know what it is and assume it something naughty. I also don't like the idea of coworkers seeing me with it when I am driving near work, for the same reason.

I have a feeling I will care less and less the more I keep on vaping and the more it catches on with the general public though.

Well, it's not going to catch on if we hide it or only use models in public that look like we are still smoking.

I use a Vamo or Darwin everywhere. It's a great conversation starter and opportunity to educate the uninformed. Most police and deputies are well aware of vaping. In fact many of them also vape.

I use my Halo G6 mini battery in white with a brownish colored mini tank. Most people can't really tell it's an ecig from far away. Guess I don't like the extra attention of an ecig

So you like the idea that they think you are smoking?? That is the last thing I would want others to assume.
 
"I get burned out answering those same question."

I'm going to print a faq on business sized cards to give them.

After the "is that an e-cig?" question, I will reach into my pocket and give them one. WHile they are reading it they WILL create a question not on the card, so I take that time to amble on down the road...

I'll normally carry my MVP with a Davide Mini, a 650mah batt, 400mah batt, and an EVOD tank for the batts. Since I work nights with nobody around, there's nobody to question what I have and what I'm doing. Out in public, all of the above again. In the car, flip between both setups. Sometimes I do get goofy looks, but when that happens, I just normally puff a cloud and blow a kiss.

I was standing on a Queens NY sidewalk next to a group of gentlemen who were smoking and working on some business deal. They were very animated one turns to me and asks if he could use my pen. I took a big toot and blew out a nice cloud with my Stainless Vision 400 mAh topped with a blue V-Tox and said it is not a pen. They all looked rather stupified at that moment :laugh:

I use an igo-w on either a nemesis clone or vamo, but I always keep an evod on a little ego battery, just in case I burn the cotton wick or somehow end up knackering the coil while I'm out.

I regularly see people with CE4/Evod/Vivi's on the normal ego batts, never seen anyone else with an RBA or mod though, but there are 2 lads at work have just ordered vamos, and for months I was the only vaper for months at work, now only 3 of the 20 or so of us that go out for a "smoke" are actually smoking, the rest have started vaping, so maybe more of them will join the great cloud chase.
