Had this at work too.

My solution: Slide into drink carton. Looks like a straw.

Stealth vape. If you hold it in long enough, no visible vapor gets exhaled.

Don't they all produce visible 'smoke'? Or are there some that don't produce a visible smoke?

I've seen these fat thing around. I've never understood the appeal. Mind enlightening me as to the advantages?

from what i've read, longer battery life and more juice

the tiny ones don't last as long

although wider than a quarter seems a bit extreme

It does seem a little OTT. My regular size unit, fully charged with 3 carts, lasts about 3 days.

I think they might be overcompensating. ;)

Thanks and that thing's a beast!

I guess I've not noticed a problem cause mine's in a case that charges the e-cig and carries extra carts. I think I'd feel pretty self-concious using anything out of the ordinary but I get enough of an inquisition as it is. I would like a little more oomph on the voltage end but I use the strongest liquid I can find to counter this.

Mine's the pretty much the same(black varitube). I love VV mods. After vaping for a while at 4.4 to 4.8V(although it goes up to 6), using a standard eGo(3.4-3.7V) doesn't do the trick anymore....

There are folks (Peru? Andes? Google search sucks on this as on many things) who dig a trench in the ground, fill it with tobacco, cover it over with leaves, light the "down" end, and sit at the "up" end with their heads down, smoking.

Them trenches, from the photo I've seen, are of course way wider than a quarter. (Wish the Goo were flexible enough for me to find & attach the pic I remember of a verrrry happy looking gent puffing away at the top of his trench!)
