Vaping At Work

[Gizmo]

This really interests me so please guys let me know.
How many of you vape at work? Do you vape indoors? What are your co-workers and bosses like with the whole vaping thing? How many smokers have you been able to convert?

I vape openly in the mall. Mugg & Bean no prob. Noticed the other day that we were not the only ones vaping in Mugg & bean. Another chick had an Ego.
So far I have converted 8 people to vaping. One is still alternating.

I vape in my office, and the open plan office where my staff sit. Have only been able to convert 2 people at work, but about 8 friends and acquaintences.
During a rather heated discussion with one of my consultants, she suggested that "haal uit jou pypie, rook en raak rustig", so I promptly took her advice and enjoyed a good vape during the meeting

Work in open plan office and I vape when I feel like. Was a little weird in the beginning but then it became a norm. No official stance on it as I am in office once a week only .
So far so good

I stealth vape behind my 28" screen. I have been busted once or twice, and the co-workers don't seem to mind.

I used to vape at work, behind my desk as the boss said it is fine - then someone complained. So now I go sit outside with the smokers and be unproductive like they are

The upside is that I converted the majority of them

Well before I started working from home I used to work for a large advertising company, the first vaper in the office was actually my boss I was still smoking analogues at the time so used to go down to smoke, when I started vaping I used to vape at my desk occasionally but alot of the time I went down with the smokers when they had their break just to get away from my desk for a while Nobody minded though when I left there were about 4 of us who were vaping and I just found out another girl has recently started aswell (She bought a twisp though yuck!!!) Told her to join the forum so lets see hehe

same story my side.

my manager was totally fine with me vaping at my desk, until my colleague next to me converted and she started vaping openly for everyone to see.

not long after, someone complained and the director banned vaping in the office.

i still vape at my desk, just blow the smoke underneath it LOL

I work in an open office and stealth vape at my desk. No one's complained about my indoor vaping but I also don't openly vape in the office because I just know that some twit will make an issue of it and vaping will be banned in the office. My strategy is that if I stealth vape then it won't be an issue and as long as vaping isn't officially banned in the office I can still use the "but there's no policy on vaping not being allowed in the office".

There is another dude on a different floor that vapes his Twisp openly. He initially got flack for it from the people sitting around him but they've all accepted the fact that vaping is different to analogues. The area I sit in unfortunately is a bit more sticky about things like that so I'll stay in ninja mode for the meantime.

I converted the boss to vaping hence no problem in this office.

I work from home, so no problems there. In meetings, I found all people to have no problems once I explained the concept to them, but I do keep it to the minimum anyhow. However, I am not a cloud chaser, which I think could lead to problems in a situation with many people around. Just spend 18 hours (2 flights) from Washington and stealth vaped quite effectively in my seat. I think Stroodie posted a link to the method - vapour in your mouth, then to lungs, once inhaled, inhale again and then force the exhale - almost no vapour visible. Does not work with lung hits, which I do not do anyhow.

 

[VapeKing]

Everyone in our office is allowed to Vape we do have 1 person who doesnt vape (Has never smoked either) But she really doesn't mind so all is good

 

[Silver]

I work from home so havent got the same experience to share. However i will share the following interesting snippets

- since we moved in to our home, the wife forbid me from smoking in side the house. She is also a light smoker. I managed to achieve this for 4 years despite come cold rainy days and nights. Ha ha. Since ive been vaping (she plans to start soon) she has no problem with me vaping in the house. While i am working i can reach for one of my vaping devices, depending on which flavour i want and take a few drags, without having to get up from the desk or lose my train of thought. Its a time saver for me. I suppose out of habit i still sometimes like to go outside for a vape and hear the birds and be in the fresh air.

- i dont vape in public places. I just think most people dont know what vaping is and i dont feel like explaining to people.

- i have converted 3 people to vaping. My close friend. My uncle who has lung cancer (not that it makes a huge difference to him now) and my mother. Although my mother still continues to smoke real cigs but quite a bit less.

As a matter of interest do you know if the vapour will set of the smoke detectors?

Nope vapour shouldn't. I say this because it does not set off the detectors in airplane toilets.

 

[johan]

No it won't, except if you seriously dry burn and start burning cotton

No it does not , wheter that is office smoke dectectors or airplane ones .. none of them have so far squeeked

 

[johan]

Smoke detectors, detect smoke or more correctly carbon particles and/or heat.

 

[annemarievdh]

Vapor does not set of smoke detectors, I was vaping in a doctors waiting room blowing my vapor onto the smoke detector and nothing happened.

 

[Andre]

You have your answer above. I am still careful, blow towards the ground.

Thanks, this was the one I was hoping to hear

 

[Tornalca]

I vape indoors at the office. I have converted 4 others who also vape indoors at work. No one really complains about it too my face as I can't see them through the clouds anyway.

The smokers have to go stand outside in a designated area or in the rain.

 

[Derick]

It depends on the smoke detector

If you read above you will see that both types will pick up vapour, if there is enough of it - generally vapour is less dense than smoke, so it takes a lot more to set it off
