70 mph vaping? The Adventure Continues..

[photogame]

Hi folks,

As the adventure continues, life is good. Analog free since July 8. Searching for that all day flavor. The house looks and smells better with my wife, neketa, and myself not stinking it up anymore. I feel better. My nose is starting to work again after alot of yrs off

So the question. I find when I am trying to vape in the car with all the windows open doing 70 mph or so I do not feel it works as well as no air flow. It might just be my impression of how it feels, or looks, lack of vaper. I was curious if other people find the same thing. I know one of you will throw out that obvious solution, roll the windows up But its summer time, the more the windows are down, the happier I am.

Just one of those things,
Take care.

does your car not have a/c? oh and I like your wife's name....neketa rarrr

Yes the car has A/C. It blows nice and cold, and there are days where its just unbearable and it gets used. But I do drive with the windows down alot. That and when I am out on the boat going 20-30 mph I have the same problem, no a/c on the boat

Clover, the liking my wifes name. I should have been more specific. Her screen name, Neketa318, and member of forum. Its been a great time doing the e cig thing together

lol haha cute! well hmmm ya Im guessing the wind going by all fast is making it hard to get a draw. uhm....get a little cereal box and put it over your hand....TA DA! lol would that work?

Ok, let me see, 12 days into this e cig thing, I am already a bit self concious about other peoples reaction. And now you want me to ride around with a 'Capt. Crunch' box on my hand with vapers seeping out? Just having some fun. That and curious if other people get the lack of vape/effect ?

Photogame sir noticed that as well, not sure of the physics behind it, but it's not just you.

 

[Clover~]

Ive never noticed....of course I dont drive with the windows down on the interstates! lol I still like my capn crunch idea....

Hey Photo,

I see we got a new member, and I just wanted to say welcome to the family, and congrats on being cig free man!!!

As for your issue, I feel the same way, cause I can't see the vapor, I used to use snuff and dip, and it did great when I was in the hospital for a collapsed lung, and then seeing everyone smoke, I needed a cig, BUT ANYWAY, back to your issue. The same thing goes for me, that is happening to you man, when the windows are down OR the A/C is blasting, I feel it does nothing for me. (But I will tell you, smilin menthol+AC= freezing your .... off)

Well when I'm at the pool and its 95 degrees it feels like I'm not getting a good hit until I chain vape then get dizzy and realize I am getting hits same in boat,car with windows down so your definately not alone.I think for me it is not seeing as much vapor because definately still gettin the nic.

 

[been there]

I agree with everyone , I'm in the lawn business , I'll be honest I cut grass for a living,hey it's Florida what else do you do down here anyway when I'm on my mower and cant see the smoke it doesn't fell like I'm getting anything so i sometimes stop and take a few drags where I can see the smoke and then I feel so much better.

I've noticed it too. Maybe the vapor just dissipates faster or more easily than smoke does since it doesn't have all the suspended particles in it.....?

 

[Vape Ape]

I have noticed this as well

 

[plantlvr]

Yep me too! i didn't think seeing the vapor was such a big deal but if I have the AC blasting ( tired of bees and wasps and flies in my car when i rolled down the windows) and can't see the vapor, it makes me feel like I didn't get a good *hit*. Same in the breakroom at work, unless I'm alone or with good friends, I don't let out clouds even tho I want to.

I heard driving with windows down wastes more fuel then running the AC at normal speeds. Wonder If its true. Think the aerodynamics with them down causing more drag n such.

 

[katz-in-boots]

Mythbusters tested the AC v open windows fuel consumption thing. Can't remember the result though

Early on in my vaping, I did need to see the vapour. Funny that when I smoked I didn't consider the smoke as important. Once I got hooked on flavour, seeing the vapour lost its importance for me.

I have noticed that when it's humid, there is a lot more vapour and it hangs in the air longer and sinks rather than going upwards like cigarette smoke. In the car, with windows open or AC going, it probably wouldn't be humid, so maybe that's another factor.

If you don't already have one, consider getting a passthrough & car adapter that can plug into your lighter socket. The higher voltage might give you greater hit & flavour, and that might help.

I've felt the exact same way with windows down, and even more so in the convertible. However, in the past it has always been difficult at best to light a ciggie in the vert... so e-cigs are awesome, dont have to fight the wind to light them, and dont have to worry about where your ashes are going!

 

[Animeguy]

Depends on speed. If going fast, windows up. Driving slow no difference. The moving air is probably dispersing the vapor quicker. I notice if I vape in the house its really really thick. But if I am outside not so. Kinda like the vapor rings. Can't make rings with air moving to much.

 

[katz-in-boots]

Like smoke rings? Cool. I've tried, but can't do it. Secret?

I seen the one with the tailgate down VS talegate up.

Back on topic: I love being able to have the windows up and no ashing and no smoke everywhere. I ride with the wife and she can't even tell I am vaping.

I instinctively roll the windows down sometimes....

No hanging your hand out the window and dropping it either.

Even after almost into 2 years vaping I still feel a little strange vaping in public, but I was that way when I smoked,
