I don't bother taking mine with me when I'm popping out either unless I'm going to be a while. I dont see many people vaping mods here but there are a few using cigalikes

I never used to bother taking rolls up out with me when I went shopping etc but take my vaper everywhere.
I have a spinner box that I put in my handbag which keeps my vaper upright.

A colleague in work started vaping the same time I did, and I've seen a couple of folk outside work vaping. Also see a few folk in town, and my local vape shop is always busy.

I would love to have a local vape shop

It was when the smokers at the hospital looked at me in disgrace that made me realise I seem to be on my own here.

Annie... try and develop that 'I pity you' look when they do that, because you are far from alone, and in the growing 'special club' that knows there's a better way. Feel sorry for them and they'll get the message.

No, not seen one. Until.......a few weeks back, I went into a vaping shop that had just opened in the town. Not seen anyone out & about though.

I will try but they made me feel so uncormfortable, it was awful really.

I was beginning to think it was only me jess.
I am sure it will catch on round here soon enough, we are out in the *sticks* and things tend to get here much later than in the towns etc

Only person I know is Vamo Joe, down the beach hut, but none in my village am the only vaper in the village.

I don't know anyone who vapes either.
Perhaps they all just hide it.
I've had curious looks, but then they just carry on, I think they just presume its drugs.

Annie... Turn it around, because it was probably them that were feeling uncomfortable, realising that you knew something that they didn't. It was their defense mechanism kicking in. YOU know you're doing the right thing, so absolutely nothing to feel uncomfortable about. Try and get into a friendly discussion with them if you can, they're probably just jealous.

Move too Bournemouth, people who smoke stinkies get some horrible looks as there is so many vapers down here

At present i have 3 vape shops withing a one mile radius and loads more around (Only small shops but it's still a good sign), biggest one is : Safercigs not as close as the rest but a very good vendor, i am spoilt for choice

Saying that though when my OH went out with a Kanger Protank on a Spinner filled to the brim of juice she did get some funny looks

I am really confident about my vaping, I don't know why I let them get to me but I did.
I will try and be stronger in future.

Apart from my converts at work, yes, i've seen quite a few vapers when i've been out and about In fact i've seen more in the last 6 months or so than ever before. Now, with market stalls and shops selling vaping gear all over the place, people are catching on to how utterly brilliant vaping is

Aw Annie, that's a shame that you felt uncomfortable near the smokers, they are obviously totally ignorant, but are paying far more than us vapers for the privilege of using stinkies, in more ways than one, and they pong

  My attitude is, i'll vape anywhere i can, if the ignorant types want to look at me like i'm someone from another planet, then stuff 'em.
I'm chuffed with myself that after smoking cigs for more years than i care to remember, i stopped over 5 years ago, within 2 days of getting a little white battery, an atomizer, 5 cartridges and a charger, and the rest is history.
