I will, occasionally, vape in the lounge while waiting for my biology class to start, and I constantly vape in my apartment, which is a smoke free zone as decreed by my college. I'm not concerned (or discrete 
) in my apartment, as given how lax room checks are, I could (not that I would) set up a brothel in my den and never be noticed. In the lounge though I typically refrain from vaping if there are people in there with me, largely because I don't feel much like explaining the differences, and if it's faculty, I don't think they'd really care, by and large.

I have yet to vape in a restaurant. Idk, it just seems wrong and I'd rather not be put on the defensive like that. Shrug. I have vaped in a movie theater (back row), movie rental store, wal-mart (late at night), my car, in my home and others. I have had other smokers ask me about it, but have yet to have anyone give me grief about it. Course I have been vaping only a few months. I refuse to limit myself to smoking areas though. I would rather not breath the smoke either and why should I?
I live in Kentucky. Smoking is banned in public buildings but it seems many bars and bingo halls choice not to follow these bans. It's kinda funny really. I haven''t vaped in either of these places...yet. I should be getting a chance soon. My guess is I'll get more questions from the smokers than the non's since mine doesn't look like a cig at all.
Happy Vaping

Its been 10 days since I smoked, whenever I'm around someone who is smoking the smell is so strong and I start to get a headache from it. I would not vape with smokers because to me it would just be punishment having to breath in their smoke. A few I know who smoke think have asked about my PV, but it seems they care more about smoking then trying something different. Some people just won't quite for anything.
I hope to convert my mother one day. But she tried electronic cigs in the early 80's and strongly disliked them. I was a cig-a-like, tasted like burnt plastic and didn't satisfy. I've told her about my setup and she happy i'm happy. I offered her my old ego-c 650 mah setup. SHe said "I don't know". She hasn't tried mine yet because she lives a lil ways away. Here's too hoping!
Happy vaping

In restaurants I normally stealth vape. Other then that I vape openly and proudly.
In non-smoking areas I'm discrete. I stop if anyone shows any fuss because it's the decent thing to do.
Keep in mind any business is within their rights to ask you to stop doing just about anything on their property. And that's not a bad thing.
That said, I do "flaunt" the ability to vape and not bother people. I'll hold the door open while taking the last puff before going inside just to get people talking about it, for example. Only in situations where I'm definitely not bothering anyone but merely pointing out that I can do it. I think of it as my way of slowly educating my coworkers.
I also work somewhere in which vaping will be illegal Jan 1 of next year (a University of CA faclility). At that point I'll go stealth. Without the smell, ash, butts, or smoldering cigarette, I'm really curious how they're going to enforce that policy. What if I deny everything? Having the e-cig on me is legal and the evidence is gone with the wind in seconds. Moreover, if I can hardly be caught because it doesn't leave any evidence, than what's the reason for banning it to begin with?

yup, not sure if this was when they first came out. But the place she was working at sponsered all sorts of programs to help smokers quite and she got a kit for free. It was pretty much the same thing as cig-a-likes now, but worse. lol
It's still allowed in Campbell county KY... All the other counties around here banned smoking but Campbell did not, ate dinner in a restaurant this past eve that still had smokers lighting up at their tables.... Me? I was blowing clouds!!!
To be honest I still have smoker's shame, if that's a real thing, and so at school I vape with the smokers but occasionally I'll leave class and vape in the bathroom out of some kind of rebellion...I don't know for me personally after smoking for almost a decade I am trying to avoid Antis and their discriminatory attitude so I just settle for de facto segregation and I like smokers way more than Antis
and I like smokers way more than Antis
I dunno if it is the inner-14 year old in me, but the title of this thread makes me giggle.
But you don't smoke? Why would you only vape in smoking areas? Dont you feel your sending out the wrong message? And you said, if others were doing it, you would join in" Mabey the "others" are saying the same thing.
Just saying.
I've found that the bigger and louder your device is, the more likely people are going to ask you what you're doing and the less likely they are to deny you of vaping or give you those cold looks. However, with the ego's and such, because their so similar in shape and size to a cigarette, people tend to see what they want to see and then judge you accordingly. I did have a couple of instances where this wasn't the case, such as zoo's or theme parks where smoking or vaping is strongly prohibited except in smoking areas. Other than that, I vape at the mall, in restaurants, at the bar, at best buy, etc. and no one's been the wiser. As long as you're not blowing out chernobyl sized clouds then for the most part you're in the green.

Funny, we vapers go out of our way to find those VV devices and LR cartos/attys that will give us those "chernobyl sized clouds" of vapor.
Myself, I don't vape where smoking is restricted. Vapor does have an odor, I have noticed it, as have my wife and kids. Thinking about it when I had a pretty bad cold a couple weeks ago, I wondered if the virus or what have you was more readily transmitted in the vapor than had I not been vaping. Seems the whole house had it in record time once my wife gave it to me.
Usually someone ducks the bug but not this time.Personally, I don't want to walk through, or breath, your cloud of vapor regardless of how safe it is and I'm a vaper and I wouldn't force mine on anyone else just because I can say it's not smoking - but that's just me.

I obey the law (at least where I might get caught.) I will stealth vape in a bathroom stall. I certaintly don't agree with the law, but I don't want to be made an example of in NJ. I'm moving to NC in a little over 2 months, so I'll have to learn Their silly laws soon.
That link above was from about 3 years ago.

Intresting and extremely disturbing. Everyone is still vaping indoors in New Jersey and New York.
I would love to start talking about the constitution, human rights, freedom of choice, and political bulls@it but I won't. Ugh flat out ignorant politicians that have no idea what there talking about.
I vaped at a motorcycle dealership today, openly and with out shame. I was amazed, no dirty looks or comments. Not even the sales person. It could have been salesmanship, or the hunky carto tank on a provari that looks nothing like a cig. The only time it was mentioned was when my husband brought it up in conversation. The salesman, not working on our sale, was impressed, showed genuine interest, and may actually do the youtube search's I suggested. Grin. Win, Win, Win (we got the bike we wanted too).
There's a subforum around here that's all about vaping in public.
There's also a thread in there about vaping friendly establishments.
