I was in my front yard pulling a weed out of my big sticky bushes when I notice my neighbor, Mr. Green having a yard sale. His name is actually Mr. Juana but because he always wears a big green hat we all call him Mr. Green. Anyway, Mr. Green rolls the most beautiful green pot out of his garage. It had not yet been cleaned so this green pot was very damp and sticky because of all of the resin (Mr. Green makes kintsugi)
Anyway, were chatting about his beautiful, damp, sticky green pot and I ask him if hes selling his beautiful, damp, sticky green pot. And he said he was selling lots of beautiful, damp, sticky green pots. In fact he would sell me this beautiful, damp, sticky green pot if I was interested. I said I was interested in buying his beautiful, damp, sticky green pot but wasnt sure what Id plant in his beautiful, damp, sticky green pot. Stoned fruits of course!" he exclaimed.
So we chat some more about the types of stoned fruits which migh grow in his beautiful, damp, sticky green pot and decide on a nectarine tree. All this talk of beautiful, damp, sticky green pots and stoned fruits had really caused us to get a major case of the munchies. I told him we could smoke a few joints of pork shoulder in my smoker and have dinner later. He agreed that a few smoked joints would certainly take care of our munchies.
Oh, and he also was vaping green tea e-juice. Supposedly. Which really was the whole point of this post. Yep. Green tea e-juice. Never even knew that was a thing!

I was vaping in my car stopped at a light, with the windows down, and the guy in the car to my right yelled, "If that's what I think it is I'm jealous!" I told him what it really was, and he said "Oh I hear those are worse than smoking." Wow.... just... wow....
Pretty depressing what our so-called society has become.

Fear of vaping is probably the last thing that's depressing about our society...just sayin'.
I wish all vapers were 6'5" and 250 pounds, because then these things wouldn't happen.
Now, keep in mind that I live in Texas... where "Everything's bigger in Texas"
I am 5'4" tall and 135lbs... I'm a small guy, for sure... I'll admit that I've gotten dirty looks when I vape in public, but I have never had one person say anything to me...
Sometimes, folks... size doesn't matter... it's all about the attitude, and when I get "the look", they get the "and what're you gonna do about it look" right back...
lol... I'm one of those guys... Little Man Syndrome like you wouldn't believe... who needs tequila to be 10' tall and bulletproof?
I get a lot of people saying, " oh is that one of those fake cigarette things "?
They're referring to the disposable ecigs you buy at corner stores, comparing it to my mech mod lol.
I'm pretty much used to people saying the same thing each time. I don't even care anymore, nore do I bother explaining what it is.
How bout this, you keep smoking your ashtray, while I vape some apple pie.
Check mate.

I have had several people tell me "I couldn't do that vape thing because I don't know whats in it". I explain to them I know exactly whats in my e-liquid as I DIY and it is the same exact stuff in the store bought and then I ask whats in their cigarettes. Either they don't know or they tell me "tobacco". Then I will get "I read on the internet that they are not safe" I ask where on the internet does it say cigarettes are safe and I ask if they saw the french model commercial.
I live in a very snooty community and get all sorts of stares when I vape in public. I was at a party for a friend at a local restaurant and went outside to puff up. A woman came outside and observed this and her jaw about hit the pavement! She clearly thought I was doing something illegal. She glared at me several times, shaking her head and stopping to look back at me in an incredulous way several times on the way to her car. I was about 2 Martinins in at that point and was about ready to jump the fence if she gave me that look one more time!! Finally she just stopped and put her hands on her hips and stared at me, so I yell across the parking lot " it's an electronic vapor device, an e cig! It's NOT drugs you busybody"! Good lord, there's a Gladys Kravets ( nosy neighbor from Bewitched) on every corner it seems! If she had given me the chance I would have explained it much more nicely. I usually do just that but this one really ticked me off!
Do you really think that I'm puffing {OTHER STUFF} in public? Really? Stupid knows no bounds.

Some people are so stupid. Why would you even talk to those idiots. Fortunately, I never had this happen to me because I would really rip into that person.
And to quote "The dumbing down of American is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30 second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance”
The smokers that tell you I won't touch them because I hear there dangerous are ridiculous. You are touching cigarettes KNOWN to cause cancer and many other health conditions and death but hey its none of my business.
Yes, they are smoking something far more dangerous, but because they are addicted to it they get defensive about it and attack what you are doing as even worse in a knee-jerk response, even though they have no idea what they are talking about.
I had a smoker complain about vape on a cruise...in the smoking section, on an open outdoor deck.
It was me and 1 guy I met on the cruise using our drippers.
Lady:" can you guys not do that it is really bothering me"
What exatly is bothering you...the smell of sweet southern iced tea?
Because your cigarette smells like burning dirty diharea filled depends.
We moved, because I dont like interacting with stupid .......

I live in downtown LA and I regularly drive by the police vaping. It never even occurred to me that they would think it was something else. I also would have to work up a crap to give about what anyone thinks about what I do generally. Still...I am stunned that anyone would have the nerve to even say anything about what an adult choses to ingest, legal or illegal. It's their business. I have actually been hoping someone would ask me about vaping so I could bore them with all of the stuff I have learned and maybe help them out.
I often wondered just how bad blowing a huge cloud inside my car or out the window looked , a couple days ago I was vaping and a guy rolled up next to me and threw a huge cloud out the window. ..it looked/looks just like I thought...
" You will grow mold on your lungs" (huh? show me evidence of this)
" E-cigarettes kills kids" (stupid parents kills kids...the same ones that would leave a cup of bleach or gasoline out for their children to drink)
" E-cigarettes blew a guys face off" (learn battery safety and Ohm's law)
"E-cigarettes DON'T WORK" (Mine works perfectly and haven't smoked a real cigarette since March 8)
...are just a few of the myths and dumb comments I have encountered.

My job puts me in non-stop contact with DHS, ICE, Interpol, US Marshals, CBP and the FBI. The common joke is "what exactly do you have in that". My response is always "opium". They generally reply that if I could do that much opium and live they don't want to mess with me.
The only real objection I have gotten was from a fellow officer who smokes. When I asked him why he still used stinkies he replied that "those things will hurt your lungs". LOL
