| Greetings vaperatti...
"Hey man, got an extra?"
Don't you just love that? I don't know where you live, I live in NYC. Crowded. And people still, at $13+ a pack, have the balls to bum smokes off you. Sometimes you do give them out though, either she's (he's) cute and you want to talk, or you can see that nicotine withdrawl expression you yourself had a million times, or whatever.
But now... 
So if you're lucky the girl is pretending to be interested in your geek cigarette long enough for you to figure out she's actually hitting on you.

| I was vapin' while walking across campus the just the other day and a guy stopped me and asked if he could bum a smoke. When I told him it wasn't a real ciggie and showed him my eGo he looked perplexed until I went through my spiel about the wonders of vaping. I admit, it does get a bit tiring to have to explain myself to everyone that sees me vaping. I'm thinking about typing up an info card to hand out to explain to the 10-20 people a day that, no, I am not smoking meth or crack or any other illegal drug, it really is a device that allows me to get my nicfix without smoking analogs. | |

| I thought New Yorkers just started shooting when strangers tried to talk to them?! Just kidding, you guys get a bad rap from the media. The few times I've been in the city, people were relatively polite and friendly.
I grew tired of explaining all the time, as well, so I stopped. Usually a quick "It's an e-cig" will do, or "electronic cigarette". The briefest explanation that has worked so far has been "kinda". A military policeman asked, "Are you smoking?" I held up my big batt mod and said, "Kinda". He said, "Oh", and walked away.
As for the crack pipe comparisons, I find those to be disingenuous and annoying. I look at 'EM like they're stupid and ask, "Have you ever seen a crack pipe? This doesnt look anything at all like a crack pipe!"

I've already had to explain myself to New York's finest once, and I'm sure it will happen again.
See, the kids love smoking weed from a pinch-hitter / one-hitter / dugout, (whatever it's called in your part of the world) the ones that look like a cigarette.
Oh yea, it'll happen again. | |

Genuine interest if I'm in the mood, gets a full explanation, along with one of Le Cig's business cards for a starting point. If I'm not in the mood, "it's a nicotine inhaler" and walk on.
A female bumming a cigarette from someone my age will get an offer to buy her a carton. | |

| Big Battery Mod porn fight, or just forum mod porn fight? I'm all for e-cig porn, but I don't think I'm interested in seeing the forum mods in their skivvies. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNARJPNz2CA | |
