Vaping at work

[absinthya]

So, i had a sneaky vape at work today. I've got an office to myself so no-one saw me but i felt like i was doing something really naughty I'm sure i would have some explaining to do if i was seen!

Does anyone here vape at work? How did colleagues/bosses react? I work for the NHS btw.

[Karma]

My boss was ok at first then she realised that it's not classed as a stop smoking aid

But so long as she doesn't know

I was on a course recently and my colleague and I were both allowed to vape indoors

I would presume that working for the NHS, vaping at work will be a big no no. you'll just have to be stealthy

There aren't many advantages to being the boss, but allowing vaping in the office is one of them... BUT when I first was doing I felt really naughty as well

[absinthya]

I felt too shifty to enjoy it really.

I don't want to ask anyone what the corporate stance would be because i am fairly sure that would result in the no smoking policy being swiftly revised to ban it!

Might try to avoid it except in emergencies!

Just have a sneaky stealth when the urge kicks in, do you know how not to let out vapour?

[Globalbloke (Tim)]

My only concern was the fire alarm going off - an LR cart filled with Grizwalds Cocomel at 5 on the Lavatube creates clouds not vapour But I haven't managed to set any alarms off yest so all is well

1 hand raised for the answer to not letting out vapour?

[absinthya]

Haha, I have never seen a lavatube in action but that must be pushing it i bit!

Sandra - not sure, i can hold it in quite well but if there is a stealth technique I'm missing please tell!

[Sandra (aka Chillax)]

Well thats it basically, take a vape as normal, take it down hard, then breath in again, no vapour comes out no one knows

[absinthya]

Oh yeah, not 100% cloud free but a lot better

[Ellen]

That's cool, have noticed the vapour vanishes very quickly, doesn't hover like stinky smoke

I read somewhere the doing what Sandra has said then breathing out a little bit and taking another gulp of air irradicates it all together - just tried it, it does!!

[Sandra (aka Chillax)]

Try either not such a long vape or holding longer, you will get it without any

[OneDay]

or there's always QueenieBee's armpit vaping technique

[absinthya]

Got it! Helps if you exhale slowly as well.
