"Does that actually work?"

I actually liked that question because it showed they were willing to learn more.

1) what the heck is that?
2) Is that one of those e-cigarette things?
3) Why is it so big?
4) How much does that cost?

You might want to edit 1 a little more tactfully before they shut your thread down.

Surprisingly, almost everyone I've run into knows it's one of those "electric cigarette things". Most often, they want to know if and how it works.

Last night i let a fellow use mine, and he inhaled, told me it was good....saw no vapor...asked if he used the button. "Oh there's a button?"

I got asked about the illegal stuff more than anyplace when I was working in NYC last month.
The rest are the same normal questions you posted.

Same here. Do those really work? is the most common question.

I've really only received a few questions from 2 smokers (plus a bunch from my husband, also a smoker):

1. Is that an ecig? (Ego style "mini" 400 mah with 1.6 ml clearo and swirled, colored drip tip)
Answer: Yes

2. Does it work?
Answer: Yes, and aside from the obvious benefits of not smoking, the best thing about it is all the great flavors available (desserts, coffees, etc.), which made me realize that I don't really like the taste of a cigarette even though I was a heavy smoker for 25 yrs and certainly enjoyed smoking but the little ones you see on TV or at the drug/convenience stores don't really work well, you have to experiment a little to find the combo that will work for you.

* conversation with first person ended here with "Oh." moving on to the second...*

3. I hate to ask, but can I try it?
Answer: Sure - it's strawberry pie flavor, 12 mg, which is said to be light to moderate strength.

4. How does it work?
Answer: Press the button and inhale slowly

5. (Cough, cough, hack, gag, hack, gag, hands it back - "Uh, thanks. It really works then, huh?"
Answer: It does for me. If you're interested in learning more, check out ECF on the internet.

Now from my husband, it was:
How does it work? I'm not getting anything. Oh, okay, I got it. Yuck, that tastes awful. Ok, I'll try another flavor (tobacco). Oh that's nasty. Another flavor? Tries several & finally says the vanilla isn't all that bad but cigarettes are much better. I'm not really interested. Tell you what, when you completely quit smoking (I was reducing smoking - pretty quickly but still not totally off cigarettes yet), then I'll quit cold turkey.

Some kid on the streets stared at me once with his eyes wide open and said, "Holy sh_t, what the f_ck is that?!"

I have been stopped by police 3 times so far because my device resembles somthing else I guess

And had mall security call ed twice bolth times they just said ohh its just an e cig thing your fine and left .

In boston iys catching on like wild fire but I still gat tbe ocasional kid say woooh man you smokin .... Out of that ? I say no its just a nicotine inhaler as tbere mind probably can not comprehend any other answer.

90% of the time though I get hey man does that one work better than the little cigarette ones ? Cause I tryed one from a gas station and it sucked.

Thats when I explain about the desposable and prefillled carto rip off scam and tell them to try ordering an evod or ego starter kit an a bottle of juice and about how it cost way lest to go that route than be dupued into buying a 100$ cig a like that will not satify.

There are some people who just think its smoking and its some kind of pipe. And do not want to hear that its an e cig because it dont look like the one they sau at the mall so its not one and I am smoking .

I ignore them and keep vaping... Hence the mall security being caled twice lol bolth times tbey said I was fine and could continue to vape .... Boy that lady was mad as hell .

I get all the same questions you all posted. The one comment that really blows my mind though is when someone says to me, as they take a drag off their analog cig, you know that e cig thing you're doing is bad for you. LOL! You can't
make this stuff up!

When i go to a bar or music venue, or any brick and mortar establishment for that matter i just baffle the hell outta them and walk right up to an employee/ or associate with my Zmax and ask if they're a vapor friendly establishment and i usually get this look then they do not even ask what it is and say "yeah".

 

[itsrayray]

I always get asked, "Is that _______ flavor?". Cause it usually smells good.

On a side note, my 6yo always asks, is that cinnamon?, even though I don't even own a cinnamon lol.

If you look anything like your avatar, I'm sure people try to stay on your good side when you wield shiny objects they don't know what is

Oh my god the kids. I have 8 nieces and nephews and I have no idea what to say to them. They say things like "Hes smoking in the house!" and "Thats very very bad for you!" and they constantly ask "What IS that?" and "Thats a cigarette right?" I've said everything from "its not a cigarette its my medicine" or "Its my medicine to help me stop smoking" and "Its my inhaler" The older kids 7-9 get "its an electric cigarette, it doesn't have the bad stuff that cigarettes have" to which I get "Then can I try it?" to which I shout "NO! NO you cant TRY IT!" Its a hard subject. I need to choose my words wisely, especially with their parents around. For the really young kids I usually just say "i dont know what it is" and thats usually enough for them.
