I use one discreetly while in uniform to lower regular cigarette smoking...anyone have any thoughts, horror stories, good, bad, etc? I know this has been a topic a few times-but the survey portion is important to me just to get a rough idea on everyone's thoughts on it.

As long as people follow the same guidelines as traditional tobacco use (and this is from a vaper) I think it is fine. The thing that gets me is when people council you on "vaping in a non-smoking area" and then proceed into the building with a huge dip in their lip...

bit hypocritical; I agree if you're gonna slam on smokers, don't do it with a dip in.

Well. If it's a government building, dip is against reg too. Follows the same guidelines. It's not a no smoking ban. It's a tobacco use ban. That includes dip. Your NCOs and leadership should be enforcing that.

I actually just noticed this last drill, that there were way fewer guys standing out back of the armory smoking than I'd ever seen before. My platoon SGT and a couple other guys who used to be regular smokers were using the an e-cig. I don't have a problem with it. I also don't have a problem with smoking though either! Though I don't use tobacco myself other than a cigar in a blue moon.

I use e-cigs and they helped me quit smoking after doing so for more than 30 years (ouch). Treat them the same as cigarettes, in designated spaces, and don't be the asswipe who states that it's not smoking, so they can do it anywhere.
We are the military and need to set the example.
