I've looked da world over (on-line) for some small caduceus decals for PVs and/or eGo batts...
If anyone finds some, please LMK!

its not smoking, so yes i do it all the time and have never had a single person complain.
Totally, just last week i was at a gas station and blew some vapor at the no smoking sign, then i remembered that the autoignition temperature of gasoline is 280C which is well within the range of an ecig and went 
dumbass! at myself 
dumbass! at myself 
I do
I tell people if they ask that my mod is a medical device to deliver medicine to my bad lungs
In a way it is I guess
You realize that if the government decides your mod is a medical device, that's the end of vaping for all of us?

Any print/sign shop should be able to make you up one any size you wish...
I really wanted to send 'em out for just da po$tage, no profit desired! Been through da '$et up' fee$ and min order #s in pa$t endeavor$!
That symbol would 'short circuit' many vaping confrontations for those adverse to 'confrontations'.

I vape right in my cubical at work, all day. If I'm sitting in a bar--non smoking here in utah--or a restaurant I also vape though not as much and I try to be discrete about it.
Basically I avoid vaping in situations that would require explaining things to people or where I'd get hassled, say on the bus or train. Other than that I just practice common sense.
if the fda decides my PV is a medical device i will just go get a prescription.
but this whole issue misses one simple point.
If you fail to exercise your rights they go away.
much like your farting example thompson. Its legal, whether someone likes it or not. The law says something is legal and everyone is allowed to do it. if one person does not like it they have the ability under our laws to protest and try to change the law, then someone in charge gets to decide if the one person is right or wrong then laws are changed. vaping is as of current is still legal. if we hide it then people see us hiding and think we are doing something wrong. Then they try to ban it or call them "assault vaporizers" or something. they they limit us to 7ml tanks instead of 10...you get the idea. (lol maybe that analogy went a tad far)

I have. It all depends upon where I am.
A few weeks ago DH was vaping in a fairly empty waiting room of a hospital. Nurse came by and said "oh, is that one of those e-cig devices? My friend quit smoking with one of those. What a great invention!" There IS hope....

I vape in the lounge at my college's business school every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 12-2...sure as clockwork. No one has ever said anything to me about it before, so I see little issue.
I tend not to vape in crowds, as I never did really master exhaling in a specific direction with any sort of accuracy, and I don't want random passerby to take offense. May not be second hand smoke, but I can understand being miffed at that.
I don't vape in the bio department at all, but that's solely for the fact that the department head is axe crazy, and seems to be EVERYWHERE. So no. No no no no no.

I was just in Wal-Mart a few hours ago. My daughter is a customer service manager there and she told me to vape on...so I do and nobody says a word to me. I have done that many times. Everyone just smiles and never say anything to me or asks me to quit. I've had a couple of people ask if it was an e-cig and said how odd it looks but they said it was so much better than cigarettes and smiled and went on their way.
I vape at work. Tuesday the operations manager called me into his office and told me that he was really proud of me that I quit smoking and went to that 'puffer thingy' he said that it is a wonderful device for ex smokers. In fact I have converted 4 people at work thus far

Politeness - I don't vape into anyones breathing space. Its not harmful, but they might not like the smell.
To that end, if its indoors, or in a smoking area, ill only do it if its spacious, but if it is, no problem.

Depends. I stealth in school, but I won't vape around my parents as they don't like the smell. Same with restaurants; I'll go to the bathroom to vape.
I don't vape in close quarters with strangers or anyone that has expressed a dislike for the smell, or anyplace that asks me not to (none yet). So far my wife next to me in bed hasn't noticed anything except when I asked her and blew it at her (and she's generally over sensitive to smells ). I'm discreet in no smoking areas, but I also don't feel I need permission unless I plan on doing it there repeatedly or less discreetly, which is not usual. It's NOT the same as smoking so I don't feel bad about it, but I'm not getting in anyone's face over it either. While vaping hasn't been proven to be benign, it most certainly HAS been proven to be substantially less harmful than smoking tobacco, which lest we forget, is what a No Smoking regulation or sign is targeted at.
My rights DO end where other's begin but that doesn't mean that one trumps the other. It's an impasse that needs a solution. It's a two way street like everything else and if it actually bothers someone than it's their obligation to politely tell me, and my obligation to politely and reasonably work with them to eliminate their discomfort. That's just being civil. My personal analogy is that some body odors annoy me and some perfumes make it hard for me to breathe, but it's not that difficult to correct the situation myself without resorting to confrontation or asking that legislation be enacted. And as far as I know some of those perfumes probably actually do harm my respiratory system. Still, I don't need to get all righteous about it unless your married to me or we're chained together at the wrist.
