This is a quote from the NYC administrative code:
"Smoking" means inhaling, exhaling, burning or carrying any lighted
cigar, cigarette, pipe, or any form of lighted object or device which
contains tobacco.
Just dont be a PITA to a cop and explain what it is and you will be fine. Cops are supposed to investigate.
i vape, on purpose, anytime i am near an MP (military police) or civilian police/deputy sheriff.....hoping i will get pulled over and he's single...................
I haven't had any vaping "encounters" either. It seems to me if someone does notice my vaping in Wal-mart or a restaurant they seems to try their best to act like they haven't noticed anything.Strange.
I pulled my SmokeStik out at the doctor's office, because he'd never heard of an e-cig. He's a smoker, trying to quit. The receptionists were all over it, saying "Oh, I see it light up! And that's not smoke??" Then I walked out of the office vaping away, head held high. I could see question marks over peoples' heads in the waiting room. 
I did get a look at a red light the other day while vaping on my Riva. I guess it could look a little suspect... he kept glancing over, then finally smiled at me. Interesting...

I haven't had any interesting incidents either - yet. I'm sure it will happen eventually...
I will say that the people who smoke at my work think I'm an ...... with my e-cig.
I thought more people would be intrigued by it, but instead they think I'm a tard. I don't care - I love not smoking anymore, and I love vaping!

Haven't done any vaping in Portland's living room yet, but now I want to!
"Is that one of those fake cigarettes?" is what I was asked by a friend I was skyping with who lives in Vegas. Apparently she sees a lot of people vaping in the casino where she works and thought it was just a vanity thing - all for looks. Once I explained how it worked, and that I no longer smoke analogs - at all - she wanted websites & recommends so she could buy PVs and juice for christmas gifts to her kids.
If the MD in your name is a medical title, you might want to check out this post: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/new-members-forum/135666-medical-sub-forum.html
They're looking for people in the medical field to join. (In case you haven't seen it already, that is.)

I was at the mall the other day and after eating in the food court I went to the bathroom to wash my hands. (Messy sandwich lol). In the restroom I took a few puffs on my KR8. I put it in my pocket and I was exhaling while starting to wash my hands. A guy walked in right at the moment I was exhaling but my hands were already in the sink. I noticed that he paused a little while walking in but he didn't say anything. He walked past me and I watched in the mirror as he passed behind me. He was looking at my hands in the sink and sniffed as he walked by. His look went from a little angry to confused as I am sure he smelled Vanilla. lol. I just gave him a confused look in the mirror like "What are you looking at?" and he went into a stall. I bet he was wondering what the hell he saw and why he smelled vanilla.
I am always a little worried that Cops will think it is some kind of drug paraphernalia. I have family and friends who are Police Officers and I have explained it to them. But, their first reaction is always to assume it is drugs. After explaining it to them they know what it is but some still think it looks like something that would be used for smoking drugs. One of them even mentioned that my KR808 sounded like a crack pipe. lol.
The advice given to me (By Cops) is that if a Cop approaches me about it, try and explain that it is a "Nicotine Inhaler" that I am using to help quit smoking and that it "Simulates" smoking but only contains Nicotine. I haven't had to use that yet but that is my plan if I need to.

It's funny, I'm asthmatic (yeah, yeah, I know, I know) and I have an inhaler that I use with an aerochamber. I was sitting in the parking lot at CVS taking a couple puffs off this thing (no vapor comes out, but it's a pretty obvious device, doesn't look like I'm using an inhaler), and there was a cop in his car a few parking spaces away. Then I had to take a BC headache powder (I was running an errand for my boss, so had to get rid of this headache STAT). And I'm thinking, "Damn, this cop is over there and I'm puffing on some suspicious looking device and now I'm downing white powder from a piece of paper..." I'm sure the way I was self-consciously ducking down in the front seat didn't help.
Still, I was thinking "C'mon, copper. Bust me." Would have been a good story to tell if he had, at any rate. As it stands now, it's a mediocre story. I should have embellished.

We could start a whole LIST on this one... first one comes to mind is TYLENOL can be poisonous if you take too much. Oi, I swear, people have way too much to say and too little on the brain.
I wrote in another thread about the couple in the car next to me staring in such confusion or fascination at my long red ecig they missed their light!
I vaped my Smoke Stik right in front of the wandering cop they have in the DMV! He didn't say a word
I was using the gold battery with the CZ in the end though, kind of obvious.PS. I should add another story related to nicotene poisoning. I had a faulty battery and was vaping 16mg juice at work, I was trying to get the thing to activate and had just filled my cart, well it caused a right proper shot of ejuice down the back of my throat. There was no spitting it out without forcing myself to puke, and I'd rather die than puke, so I drank a bunch of water instead.
I'm telling you though, most people probably would have puked! I was so dizzy and nauseous I laid on the floor under my desk for about 2 hours, and it took a total of about 4 hours for the effect to go away.So, do be careful! Don't overfill and don't try to force a stubborn battery :S You swallow that stuff and you will likely puke.

Ha! Yeah, I get looks with my pink SS with the bling, and my Hendu. It's my "dress up" e-cig. The Riva is where the glances get a little more interesting.
Wow.. good advice. I never even thought about it looking like an illegal drug. And it sounding like a crack pipe?!!! Yeesh. lol
Well, actually. Its kinda silly, but my e-cig buddy got pulled over for using an 'electronic device' and the cop was all like HEY, i shuold write you a ticket for using an electronic device. and he said It was just an e-cig*shows him* and the cop was like....... WHOA COOL! haha! so ever since then When I'm driving (I always vape while I drive) but, When a cop drives by I'll make sure to take a drag because yes, I do have time to get pulled over and demonstrate the beauty of this device to a cop, and No I highly doubt I'd be risking it for a ticket
I still go outside to smoke, but I do get weird looks from my schools Community Service Officers (student rent a cops) because so few people at my school smoke and to top it off I don't stink the place up with cigarette smoke.
I had 3 TSA agents looking at my carry on before they decided to check it. As they were looking, I told them it was an EGO. I told them that I used to carry regular mini cigs but recently switched for a longer battery life. They said that they had never seen anything like it. They just smiled and let me go after they had a good look.
