How To: Stealth Vape...

[Shortstuff116]

We all know what it means, to "stealth vape" which is nothing more than hiding the activity of vaping so that no one knows or sees what you are really doing.

I think it would be a great idea for everyone to share their "stealth vaping" techniques so that we can all learn how to vape anytime, anywhere and no one else is the wiser.

Here is what I do:

I hold my 510 so that I hide the blue LED from view (palm in front of it). I slowly vape a comfortable amount into my mouth, release the button of my battery and continue to take in the residual vape left inside my e-cig. While breathing through my nose I hold it in my mouth for about 6-7 seconds or more. I then inhale into my lungs and hold it there for a just a few seconds, then before exhaling - I take a deeper breath of air to mix with the vape in my lungs then exhale and if I do it right, I see no vape whatsoever.

I've actually got it down pretty good!

So, how do you "stealth vape"???

 

[BobbiBilbo]

Well, fairly simply. With the LED covered, I inhale normally, hold vape in lungs for several seconds and exhale. Simple as that. I hold it in my lungs until no vapor escapes on exhale.

The best way for me to stealth vape is when I have long sleeves. Wearing a sweatshirt.

I use a 98mm and i put it down my sleeve as I take a drag and then hold it in for about 8-10 sec and slowly exhale. Usually very little if any vapor comes out.

I've done this a lot and no one has been the wiser. Even if some vapor comes out and someone sees it, they will not know where it came from since my PV is not showing at all.

In a open area: Cover the LED. Inhale and hold as long as possible. If you're sitting at a desk, exhale slowly downward in a direction it won't be obvious to see if it drifts upward.

If you're in your own cubicle or, even better, your own office, you'll have a lot more choices.

I've also heard of someone who opened a drawer, exhaled, and closed quickly.

Whatever works.

I palm the led of my 510 while taking a long draw and hold it in for about 5-6 seconds. The I take another short breath in through my nose and hold it for a couple seconds more. Then slowly exhale, making sure all the vapor has dissappated.
If anyone starts looking at me, I'll act like I'm just chewing on a pen. I never hold it like a cigarette.

I tried blowing it down the front of my shirt once while standing in line at the theatre box office, but it just flew back up in my face in a big cloud

 

[jennlsnoopy]

The shirt thing doesn't work for me either. I tried. Holding it in is much better and if anything is comming out just exhale slowly.

I just do what I did in high school when smoking. I just cover the LED and then casually blow the vapor down my shirt. It's great that now I don't smell like an ashtray

That's the ticket....blow it down into your shirt. I do it at times and it works well. I have my own office building, but at times you are in places where you're obliged (or smart) to be steathy. The less confrontation with these, the better. We need to seek good will....even from opponents. "The best way to deal with an enemy is to make them your friend". --Abraham Lincoln

Great tips, was wondering how people stealth vaped(just started vaping a few days ago). My work is dumb and banned e-cigs from inside the office. We have our own cubicles, but with 2 people on each side of me(work at a call center for HP). Sometimes if I get stuck on a long call I can't make it till my break, it was a lot easier smoking as it seemed like I didn't need a cig as often as the e-cig for some reason(I feel like I need to vape a few times a hour, opposed to once for 5 minutes every 2 hours with the regular cig).

I've placed a black pen cap over the LED, completely masking the light (and also camouflaging the PV as a pen to any casual viewer). I use the "hold the vape inside" technique, which works fine to kill the craving, though it isn't as relaxing as normal vaping.

 

[Taryn]

It really depends on where I am at, usually I just hold the vapor in longer so there is none to exhale. In the movie theater I do cover the LED and hold it in. I do not try to hide the actual e-cig but mine doesn't really look like an analog.

 

[boondongle]

I'm completely unable to make the vapor vanish by holding it in. I can hold it in until I turn purple, but there's still at least some vapor. So I just go to the restroom.

 

[Jurassica Parks]

While holding it in, just inhale through your nose, and then exhale. No vape comes out and you don't have to turn purple!

I work at a hospital that has a very strict no smoking policy for patients and visitors. However I work in an office that is not attached to the main building. So, there are no patients in the building. Anyway - about twice a day I go into the womens rest room, close the stall door and vape. I have pretty much the same technique as mentioned above - because I certainly don't want another employee coming into the restroom to see vapor clouds billowing from stall #2 - but done discreetly I can get my 2 fixes a day just fine.

Now watch......I've said that and tomorrow will be the day I'm BUSTED!

I read this thread a while back and the suggestions stuck in my mind. I took the family to a major theme park yesterday and tried this method. It worked great. There were people all around and nobody even noticed what I was doing. I covered the blue led with my palm and pushed the button with my thumb. I would have gone to the smoking area but this park is about a mile long and they have one smoking area at each end. I couldn't leave the family for the half hour it would have taken to go there and get back.
Thanks for the info.

In a public no smoking establishment, I go to the bathroom and blow it down towards the toilet in the bathroom stall. Yes, it seems sneaky and weird like I am in high school and smoking in the boys room, but it works. No one can see the vapor or smell any "smoke".

I did the under-the-desk thing at work. No vapor escaped! Most of the people I work with kind of accept it now.

Hey, thanks for the tip! I've never had any luck stealth vaping because I always seem to have vapor no matter how long it hold it in. But I just tried your advice — holding it in a few seconds, then inhaling through my nose before exhaling. That totally did the trick. No visible vapor.

 

[Devoe2485]

All pretty good techniques, I sit at a desk behind my computer with a cup of coffee and a straw, I cup the e-cig inhale and blow the vapor into the coffee cup as I stir it,lol
it makes the coffee look hot.

I'm of the mind simply don't stealth, ask, if told no by a manager or ceo, go outside, to the smoking room, whereever it IS allowed. If not on premisis, then either refrain or, if it's a business, don't patronize them again.
