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.

I think so too, once asked if it was a crack pipe! I mean, come on....

Yes, I must admit they made me feel like a druggy

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

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

* packing my bags and looking for a house * lol
you are so lucky with the vape shops rom. I keep reading about these protanks, must have a look. Tho I am still so happy with my evods thanks to you

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.

I really love vaping too. Just 7 weeks for me but no intentions of going back to the roll up.
well done on 5 years, that is brilliant

At least my hubby is over the moon with me vaping. He is an ex smoker of 20 years and was the worst person for nagging me.
He is fine with vaping and I sit and vape in the house now when the grandchildren aren't here

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.

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.

Good, so it's head high, be proud, happy & healthy!

Someone needs to print some bumper stickers:
"Honk if you're Vaping"
"Vapers do it - everywhere!"
they would go well with the "e-cigs save lives" ........you do all have those already, don't you?

The only other people I have seen here in Reading are the two friends I converted.

Might have to wait a month or two after the new baby, would be harsh otherwise

Good on you Annie, onwards and upwards The next time feel uncomfortable being stared at, hold your head high, take the biggest draw you can, exhale plumes of vapour and say to yourself   "i forgive you staring cos you're skint and you stink"   because really you are doing great with your vaping, thats something to feel extremely chuffed about, i know i do/am, so don't let narrow minded, ignorant smellie smokers let you doubt that for one second.

That's the truth.

I went from feeling a bit odd and like a freak to feeling a bit like a pioneer and trendsetter.
Beleive me, in another years time the smokers are the ones that will be pointed and sniggered at.

A chap I work with has been vaping for just over a year, there's only one smoker at the factory, I did see someone with a cig-a-like at my local pub, and my nephew was vaping a year ago but he went back to smoking. Dave
