If I'm at the the store, I vape inside, I just stand in the camera's blind spot. The manager is totally cool with it, but I just don't want trouble with corporate calling and asking why I'm smoking in the store.
On the paper route, in the car. XD

Could you point me to the legal code that spells this out? Thanks.
Well, I've only been vaping for about a week, but my boss is very interested in e-cigs. SHe's also told me to feel free to do it in my office at my desk. 
So I vape the same place I smoked...In my cab!
I love the looks I get when stopped next to a car at an intersection. Some kinda snarl , others laugh,One kid looked up at me and held up one of these...
<//////////////////@~~~~'
And gave me the thumbs up.
But most people just kinda stare in bewilderment at my cigg's blue cherry haha.
I can't wait to see the responses to my battery box mods
haha.

I usually go to the rest room during work hours ("potty break"). I have co-workers whom smoke tobacco cigarettes, and get pissy when I vape in front of them (although I do "sneek" a few tokes"). They can't have their tobacco cigarette, and feel I shouldn't be able to vape at my work station either. They get sooo jealous. At break time, I vape in the lunch room. My boss is cool with it, and no one has complained yet.

Correct, Although it may be legal, it could also be viewed as counter-productive. It is up to the management, bottom line. Any privately owned property or business, the owners have a legal right to say no, then you must oblige.

I vape right at my desk now. Starting to become a bit more bolder with this but it really depends on who comes by. I vape in front of friends but I wouldn't do it in front of the corporate big wigs. I'm sure they would still view it as smoking.
I told my boss I quit smoking but she doesnt know I vape unless someone has mentioned it. It's a great stress reliever to be able to vape in the control room instead of having to sneak a cig in the bathroom like when I was in high school.

I work eves as an engineer at a hospital. So far no problems and many others have caught on to the ecigs. One person I know of even has been known to vape in morning meetings. My office, back halls, stairways, shop, CT control room (vapers also in this area) all favorite places.
By the way we (the vapers) have talked to the ER Doctors about e-cigarettes and they have told us they will be recomending them to some patients as an alternative. They see no serious issues with them and are thrilled that we switched to them!

I always know when my local DJ is on a smoke break. He puts on "Stairway to Heaven" or "Stranglehold". LOL!
I vape continuously at my desk and wander freely around the office with it. One of my two bosses has decided to take issue with it, but he takes issue with everything I do and is accustomed to being ignored. I did **** up and take a pull while standing in his office door once. He didn't like that. It was totally mindless on my part, which alone gave me confidence in the effectiveness of the ecig. The other boss I've not talked to about it and she has yet to notice it even though I vaped in front of her in her office. Knowing her, she would completely accept it as ssafe but would be more concerned with the concerns of others than her own. I expect some sort of showdown soon.
I work for a large Internet company, and travel all over to our various offices. I vape in all of the offices I go to, and have converted about 8 analog smokers to vapers now. Obviously, I don't vape in the data center as that could be VERY BAD.
When I travel, I make it a point to talk with the converted vapers, showing off the latest gear I've picked up, and trade knowledge. We also share the different e-juices we're trying out, etc. I've basically built a small community inside the company. Even the VP of HR at my company has been recommending smokers talk to me about it.
I always vape at my desk. I did have one confrontation with an employee I manage asking me not to vape around them as they "were getting headaches" when I vaped in a conference room with them once, so I avoid vaping around that person to avoid an HR incident.
I also vape in conference rooms with vendors (EMC, IBM, DELL, etc) and have showed it off to them. I may have even converted a few of them to vapers.
I can't stand the smell of analogs anymore, and don't hang out with the analog smokers at their regular smoking places. The smell bothers me, and I don't like it on my clothes.
I haven't touched a cigarette since March 7th 2009, and have no plans to. I don't even feel the want to have one anymore. I'm perfectly fine vaping away.
The one place I don't vape is in airports, except for the restrooms there. I just don't want the hassle of the uneducated masses, and have nightmares of the mob with pitchforks. I also was summoned for Jury Duty, and didn't feel like taking my Janty Stick through security and having a run-in.
Any ways, I really wish people would become more educated about PVs and their positive effects on smokers. I smoked for 21 years, and stopped literally overnight. My doctor loves it, I feel healthier, and I tell every smoker I see about my experience. Of course, I don't want to be perceived as that ex-smoker who knows everything, so I try to keep myself in check.
Keep vaping!

I work in a communications shop - I have to make general checks every hour or so, so it made a good excuse to go out back and have a smoke.
Now, I still hit the back deck every hour or so, but I can also take a few drags at the desk when I want - the shop chief is cool with it, but I don't abuse it, either.

I still go outside. I like getting away from my cube (sometimes keeps me from going postal), and having just stopped analogs a week ago I don't mind the smell. Besides, smokers tend to be good people and good to "break" with. AND I'm converting people!!
Anyway, I work for a LARGE company (one of the largest, actually), and there's no convincing some people that you're not actually smoking indoors.

I vape in my office. My boss knows and HR knows. I do not walk around with it. I wouldn't want some anti to make a stink about it.
...at the dispatch desk. Since I only work nights, there was an 'understanding'...I won't call you in off the road for my 'smoke break' so long as you turn a blind eye to my smoking inside. So I never asked about vaping inside...besides it's always easier to seek forgiveness than to obtain permission! Why would I ask permission anyway, it's "No Smoking" not "no Vaping". there is no 'ignition' source, hence no true 'smoke' with vaping.
I have already made 2 other converts at work and am lending 1 e-cig I rarely use to one of the guys for his father to try instead of analogs.
