Vaping In Public...

I think a lot of vapers are under the impression that vapor is odorless, it's Not! I have a bit of a sinus issue at the moment, @Vixen fired up her little evod with a bit of Zodiac Mango and I could immediately identify and even taste it from across the room! I found that VK Menthol vapor smells like grape, a friend also said today that he could smell grape while I was vaping some VapeMob Mint

So, yes folks, vapor does smell, and some of them are potent!



Edit... I lied, I only switched to vapemob mint later in the day, it was Vk Menthol he commented on

Yes definitely not odourless but not bad at all!

I hate strawberry. I'd be pretty annoyed if someone was blowing strawberry scent around me.

I hate lots of things, but I can't just sit in my house the whole day.

@Mike would be interested to know why you disagree with my previous comment and dislike my latest one.

Cause it's rude to go around doing whatever you want and imposing that on other people. It doesn't matter if it's not harmful. It's smell polution to other people. The same as when you're at a nice restaurant, enjoying a relaxing meal, and a table or two down there's two people sharing a table and shouting at the top of their voices even though they're 60cm apart. Just because it's legal doesn't mean it's not annoying. My personal pet peeve is my neighbours who have guests that think it's necessary to lean on their hooters for half a minute at 2am as they leave. Just a dumb thing to do.

Like standing in a queue and the guy in front of you farts, he may think it's pretty awesome and fairly harmless... Don't say it's not the same thing, it is. There are some smells that people think are pleasant, like lavender, who doesn't absolutely love lavender? Me! I hate it with a passion!

I vape outside, and maybe coming into a building, but in general terms i follow the same rules as that imposed on smoking... but as soon as i am outside of a building i'll take a toot or two. while inside i take other's into consideration.

at home ---- well that is where i tend to do most vaping, that and in the car.

@BumbleBee i speak brale in the lift as I exit... i leave the lavender to linger in the lift.

Yup, but one has gotta shake ones head at the uninformed masses... smoking cigarettes (including electronic)!!!! Really??? I thought I was vaping, I don't smoke

Hahahaha true that !!!!

Wow I wonder how that happened. /s

Great how they class us with the stinky suckers, I call discrimination!

Last time I was at spur they served me short little grey ribs, hey spur.....

Personally I try and be considerate as possible:

1) Use a juice that does not smell strongly when exhaled (so no 5 Pawns Gambit at the workplace for me)
2) Keep inhaled vapour in my lungs about 5 seconds longer (this reduces the amount of vapour on the exhale)
3) Ninja exhale downward

So far nobody has made any funny comments; and really I understand why - as far as the other people around me are concerned, I am simply sucking on a metal thingy, without anything coming out when I exhale

I haven't yet vaped in any public spaces, for lack of oppurtunity, but I take great offense at your discrimination towards farters!
Farters are people too ya'know!

Even though it was hard to type that with a straight face, i admit guilt to a couple of stealth squeaks that I've dropped in public from time to time... if it's gotta go, then it's gotta go!
And even though I do feel a bit bad each time, the evil inside my head won't allow me to not snicker to myself when someone passes by and starts blinking a whole lot...

I haven't gone into a spur ever again since the last time they served me half cooked pork chops.
PORK CHOPS FFS! Don't they know anything about botulism and tapeworms?! Those ignorant a**jackets can keep their crap meat to themselves imho...

I was talking about your first post. I was going to hit the big red X, but decided rather not to leave you with a negative rating

Not to fly way offtopic, but I really don't think it's a healthy behaviour to either threaten people with downrates or try to swing opinions with it either.

Regardless of how wildly different somebody else's opinion might be from yours, intimidation and/or name-and-shame-campaigns are not in my book the behaviour of well-rounded and open-minded grownups.

I too, disagree with his opinion/behaviour, but chose to leave it to more patient-minded people to "talk him down from the ledge". Intimidating or shaming a hostile person into a corner does not sound like the best way forward to me...

Just wanted to chime that in there for whatever it's worth.

Just ask to talk to the manager Have a quick little chat, be nice and friendly and try educate, if they still cannot accommodate you, take your business else where! Spur will learn quick with customers walking out the door I LOVE double Monday But not as much as I love vaping

Remember, nothing nasty, just share education

@Metal Liz how is that reo treating you ?

whip out Amy and if they moan, tell them they didn't say anything on the sign about mech mods

The forum can be a little rough
But we all play nice at the end of the day

@WHeunis the more social ratings do not "stick" to you
Like the disagree's for example do not count as negative reputation

Vaping in public, in my opinion, should really be done while being considerate of other people that, in the majority, do not smoke. The very last thing I want is for Joe public to just toss us into the same thought bin as analogue smokers

Rather show them that we can co-exist without mucking up their space - how awesome would it be if we could obtain and maintain that thumbs up from everyone around us regarding our habit

The X is simply a "Disagree" button. We all go back in forth with debates and opinions. It's what makes a forum a forum and besides all the informative posts adds a bit of color. If you're going to have an opinion you're going to get opinions on your opinion too. It's not meant to threaten or down grade. Just banter. Many guys here have been around for a while, so you kind of know which card you're going to be dealt by someone in reply to what you are currently typing. This is a great forum with an awesome pack of members. No one is here to be hard on anyone, even with the odd wayward remark flying about every so often
