Christmas Vaping Etiquette

Published by Matt Brown on 11th Dec 2017

Tis' the season of office parties, family get-togethers and drinks by the fire. Christmas is almost upon us, so it's a good time to think about vaping etiquette over the festive period. We've put together a handy list of do's and do not's which should help you make it through to the New Year.

This article was first published on Dec 12th 2014, but with Christmas coming round once more we thought it was worth sharing again.

Do

Read up on stealth vaping. A must read to pre-empt any annoying conversations about your e-cigarette and keep vapour to a minimum. For those new to the concept of Stealth Vaping, the idea is to use your device in as discrete a fashion as possible. This can involve anything from obfuscating the device itself, to minimising exhalations to reduce the vapour expelled.

Stealth vaping is particularly useful in party situations, where you may be able to vape freely, but still wish to avoid blowing billowing clouds in other party-goers faces.

Do Not

Forget about, our Clear Steam range of e-liquids, which have been designed to minimise vapour production, and are ideal when the weather outside is frightful.

Do

Choose e-liquid to complement Christmas dishes. Toffee is great when paired with sweet desserts, or try a mix of Real Coffee and Chocolate with a glass of Bailey's. Sadly, our Cranberry and Stuffing flavour development didn't quite worked out as well as we'd hoped.

Remember, flavour combinations are as varied as your imagination. Especially when you mix your own with picNIC.

Do Not

Forget to ask for vaping treats for your office Secret Santa. You could send a link to the JAC Christmas gifts page to your entire work database - no point in being subtle at this stage in the game!

Do

Check the policy on vaping wherever your party is being held. While it's fantastic to be able to vape indoors (particularly at this time of year), bear in mind that companies can set their own rules. It's always wise to check these out in advance to avoid disappointment on the night (and may I refer you back to the point on stealth vaping...)

Do Not

Miss the the opportunity to talk to friends thinking about making the switch. Particularly with New Year approaching, many people will be beginning to think about their resolutions. Mingling at the Christmas party is a perfect time to show someone the ropes. We have a useful guide to some of the benefits of making the switch to vaping, which may help.

We've also got a purpose-built device perfect for beginners, the SERIES-S22. If you've yet to pick up a gift for someone in your life planning to quit this new year, what's better than this?

Do

Remember that vapour can make for an effective makeshift deterrent when Barry from accounting decides to try his luck under the mistletoe.

Do Not

Offer to use your e cigarette as a make shift 'smoke machine' to show off your cloud chasing - this is merely show boating.

Do

Remember to enjoy yourself (and try not to drink too much).

Do Not

End up on Santa's naughty list. You don't want him taking all those lovely vaping gifts down someone else's chimney, do you?
