Down here in semi-rural Cornwall, we don't see many vapers. Apart from dear zeldamum, I have only ever sen one other person vaping, and she was on holiday from Oxford!! Imagine my surprise when, on a weekend away to Lyme Regis, I sat in the enclosed courtyard of the Pilot Inn and saw not only a middle-aged woman tooting on a pink Jacvapour (I think!) but also a young lady with a black Riva/carto combi, while I was puffing away on my Vamo/DCT with my beloved VC juice. We all smiled at each other, as if to say "we know something that the others don't". Equally surprising was the lack of response by other customers - is this normal!? I for one was pleased that three of us were vaping in such a small cross-section of society. Or was this just a fluke? Andy

I live in a large town and have never seen another vaper in 4 months
However I don't work in town so maybe they all come out at lunchtime

Was in the local Slug and Lettuce a couple of weeks ago, checked it was OK, happily vaped away in a corner and nobody batted an eyelid - bliss! I have seen others with a Spinner/Riva/Ego + clearo type combo around.
In my social circle, some people are fascinated and love it, others are really, really put off by it or afraid of it. Weird!

I was walking through the town the other day, and saw someone using an ego, with a CE4 on top. However there is a B&M shop nearby. But that is the first person I have seen other than myself.
My sister said she saw someone vaping in a posh pub, and someone at work has seen someone using something similar to my device (eVic). They are out there, but still fairly rare, I bet somewhere with a B&M shop has more than the average vapers.

I never used to see anyone else apart from my converts......
But - saw someone outside work the other day, said "snap" and spotted a fellow vaper with a mod in Newbury when visiting my Grandson.
Saw a couple of Ego combis in our local town last week.
Girl at work reported she saw several whifflers at Alton Towers last week - numbers are definitely on the up.

Saw 1 guy at Thorpe Park last weekend, he stuffed it in his pocket when he clocked me looking in his direction. Embarrassment ? I can't say. There's still a lot of people out there who feel self conscious about it.

seen quite a few people with cigalikes in Newton abbot, have also found that when I use my vamo out and about I get a lot of questions. I actually now take a spare evod with ry4 out with me for people to try.

Still haven't seen a Vaper in the wild myself Andy . . . despite a new Member on here living and working on my doorstep. I think he's avoiding me.

Apart from you Andy I have met a few vapers my local let people Vape also a carer of one of my sons friends vapes, none of them seem to have the illness shinitis which is usually associated with vaping. Half of them seem to use cigalikes/skycigs type devices.

I think shineytitus is only contagious through online forums. I hold robby and Super-Shiny personally responsible for the incurable disease.
