Important Question Please~Keeping Cool In The Car?

[keepsmiling]

Hi Reonauts, hope all of you are well today.
So I am being summoned to court as a witness next week. For a traffic accident I was involved in. Evidently mr. improper lane changer is contesting his citation.
So I won't get in the courthouse with any vape gear. They would probably think it was a bomb and arrest me. Last time I was there a couple years ago they took a small glass nail file away from me.
Oh yeah, they are serious.
So my only option is to leave my gear in the car. It will be inside a covered parking garage, in the a.m.. But it can still get warm. So I am concerned and want to keep it cool. Any suggestions?
I was thinking of buying a small drink cooler, the kind that holds about a six pack or so, and put one or two of those freezy packs in it.

That should work. Or, just bring your batteries inside with you and pop them back in on break. Your liquid will expand if it gets toasty, so just fill your bottles a little less to give room for expansion.

That sounds like a great idea. Hopefully it won't take you too long.

It's kind of dumb to think of, and I am going to ask when I go to be sure. But the lady on the phone thought they would not let me in. But they let people in with cellphones and those have batteries and metal parts!

 

[NancyR]

I would call the courthouse and ask if they have anything in place for e-cigs, I have taken some in many buildings where my bags were checked and was surprised to find out the guards knew what they were, one was even a vaper himself

 

[keepsmiling]

I did call, but had to wait forever on hold and only spoke to someone in the traffic section. I think she was just not sure to be honest. I could go a bit earlier and ask..it's only a few blocks back to the parking garage I park at.

Last time I smoked..and I hid my lighter along my path in one of those big municipal flower pots. So I could smoke asap after getting out of there..lol! That's pretty sorry..huh..

Exactly what I do. I put the freezer (blue block) pack under a small towel & throw all my vape stuff on top of it. No condensation & I don't get liquid mess city.

 

[nerak]

I think a small cooler with one pack, then a towel and REO's on top of that would be perfect! It should not get cold enough to impact your batteries.

Just take metal REO's. No wood in the cooler! LOL!

I have left mine outside in a closed car in really hot weather and found some self-feeding when I returned. That and the metal drip tip was way to hot to vape!

For some strange reason the batteries didn't get a second thought. Now I know not to subject them to the high heat.

+1 on the personal cooler and f you don't have one of them maybe a thermos with water from the fridge and place your REO in a ziplock bag or water proof box? Assuming you're only taking one REO with ya!

I hope they throw the book at that chucklehead!

Yeah wood shrinks when in a cold environment without anything to keep it warm! Trust me....I know from experience.

That's what the little pill is for in Underdog's ring.

I could have so much fun with this post...but I will be good.

Thanks for all the replies. Reonauts rock!

Last time I was in the Brevard County Fl. Courthouse, about 4 years ago, there was already a rule in place that you could not bring in any e cig devices.

 

[keepsmiling]

Considering they took a glass nail file away from me..I am going to say it's probably a no go as well. Like what would I do, stab someone in the neck with it?

SHHHH! Don't give away ma secrets!

Woods a touchy subject, especially when it comes to hot an cold extremes! Too hot and you get sagginess and too cold you get shrinkage. Wood does best when it's within its "goldilocks zone"! Treat your wood good and it'll take care of ya forever!

Sorry I just had to!

Here in KY when I had jury duty I still smoked and was allowed to keep my cigs and bic lighter. Went outside and smoked on breaks.

 

[Rule62]

4 years ago, I was a fairly new vaper, and had business at the courthouse in Brevard County, Fl. As I went through security, and put the cig alike I was using at the time in the tray, I was told that I wouldn't be allowed to bring it in, and would have to take it back to my car. Naturally, being a new vaper, and quite proud of myself, I asked: "can people bring in cigarettes and lighters?" The guard said: "Yes they can". So, I asked: "Then why can't I bring in my ecig?" The guard said: "Because the smokers obey the rules, and use the smoking area. The ecig users cheat. So we stopped allowing them".

I went to a courthouse a little while back, meeting with a judge, and forgot I had a PV in my pocket. I just popped it in the little dish with my wallet when I went through the metal detector, and the guards didn't even blink...

On the other hand, for long-term high heat - that's a great idea.
I've got a little insulated bag-thing. Like a cooler on the inside but sort of canvas on the outside. And I've been throwing a freezer-pack and a gatorade inside, and then popping my Reo in the outside pocket - so it just keeps it from BAKING, without making it COLD. Works fine!
It's been HOT here - like 105 today - and at those temps, it can get uncomfortable to hold (plus, she'll "autosquonk"!).
