There’s more to vaping than just pressing a button and blowing clouds. Much like wearing a well-fitted suit or holding the door open for someone, a little etiquette goes a long way. Whether you’re a seasoned vaper or just getting started, understanding how to vape politely in public and around others is part of being a well-mannered modern gent.
So, put the mod down for a moment and brush up on the golden rules of vaping etiquette with our gentleman’s guide.
1. Ask Before You Vape Indoors
Just because you can vape somewhere doesn’t mean you should. Always ask if it’s okay to vape in someone’s home, in a café, or at a private event. Many venues still treat vaping like smoking, and it’s best not to assume. Respect the rules, and you’ll earn respect in return.
2. Don’t Vape Around Non-Smokers or Children
Nothing says “bad manners” quite like blowing vapour near people who didn’t sign up for it. Be mindful of those around you – especially children, non-smokers and pets. Even though second-hand vapour isn’t the same as cigarette smoke, not everyone wants to walk through a blueberry cloud on the school run.
3. Know When to Keep It Subtle
Yes, your 200W GEEKVAPE AEGIS X MOD ****mod might produce clouds large enough to rival a fog machine, but that doesn’t mean you should use it everywhere. In public places, opt for discreet, low-powered pod systems and nic salts for a more subtle vape. You’ll look more composed and less like a steam train in a three-piece suit.
4. Queue Up – Not Cloud Up
Whether you’re waiting at the bus stop, queuing at a shop or grabbing a coffee, resist the urge to vape in tight spaces. It’s not about the rules – it’s about common courtesy. No one wants to be stuck in your exhale, no matter how delicious it smells.
5. Don’t Lecture Smokers
If you’ve made the switch from smoking to vaping, well done – but don’t become the self-righteous ex-smoker. Everyone is on their own journey. If someone asks about your vape or expresses interest, share your experience. Otherwise, keep it classy and lead by example.
6. Keep It Clean
Nobody wants to see e-liquid smeared across your device or pockets full of leaky bottles. Wipe down your kit regularly, clean your mouthpiece and keep your vape gear in good order. It’s all part of the image – polished, tidy and gentlemanly.
7. Dispose of Pods and Bottles Responsibly
Empty bottles, burnt-out coils and used pods should go in the bin – not on the pavement. Respecting the environment is part of being a considerate vaper. If your device is rechargeable or refillable, even better – it’s not only more elegant, it’s more sustainable too.
8. Respect Workspaces
Even if your office allows vaping, it’s polite to step outside unless there’s a designated area. Vaping at your desk might be technically allowed, but it could still make colleagues uncomfortable. When in doubt, keep your vape breaks as professional as your attire.
Final Thoughts: Vape Like a True Gentleman
Vaping may be modern, but good manners never go out of style. From being mindful of your surroundings to keeping your kit clean, vaping etiquette is all about courtesy and respect. Think of it as the difference between a rushed handshake and a firm, confident one – it leaves a lasting impression.
So next time you pick up your vape, channel your inner gentleman. The world – and everyone in your cloud radius – will thank you for it.
