Any vaping hunters out there?

[Kimmothy]

Good morning! So here in central S.C., deer hunting season starts in a little over a week and the husband will be out there the first day with bells on (not really - bells would be a dumb thing to wear deer hunting). Currently he has an Evod he's been using that seems to have good battery life and has been pretty durable for a few weeks (he's rough on stuff; already destroyed 2 Egos). I'm wondering if any other hunting people have any recommendations or what you all use when you're out in the woods chasing down those cute tasty animals.

When I am hunting I use the green innokin VTR. Good vape and very durable.

Best suggestion... flavorless (i.e. odorless more or less) Them tasty animals have pretty good sense of smell, so I'd stay away from bakery vapes, for sure!!
You can mix up a batch of vg/pg/nic base with no flavoring... get the nic craving taken care of without giving yourself away too much... might also consider holding the vape in as long as possible to reduce the cloud to imperceptible levels... and as always... bring back-up spares... I break all kinds of crap when tromping through the woods!

He's pretty excited for the first year of going out there and not having to worry about giving himself away with that stupid cigarette smell like he's had to do in the past, so thank you for those tips!

No problem... I pretty much hunt and eat anything that walks, crawls, swims or flies... I keep an eGo with a little cart just for hunting (only time I use it, actually) mix up a flavorless batch and it hasn't given me away yet... only problem I've had was I had to put my vape down to pick my gun back up when a white-tail walked up on me... LOL

 

[Kimmothy]

HA!! Well he lucked out once and actually had to put an analog down when one of Bambi's relatives walked up...he lucked out that time but that deer must have had no sense of smell whatsoever. Poor guy.

During bow season, I use my ProVari Mini. It's build like tank to say the least. It's light and very easy to carry in the side pouch of my field quiver.

I've got some friends that hunt and vape, and are starting a new line of ejuice specifically tailored to hunters. Kind of curious to see how their juice works out.

I use unflavored 50/50 pg/VG. I've lost a couple due to the smell of flavored juice. On the other hand my buddy swears his apple whatever will attract them.. Who knows lol.

The unflavored reminds me of a marb light. Its not terrible and does the job.

As for a device I usually bring my provari and a couple extra batteries. The thing is bulletproof. Its been lost overnight in the rain and mud and vaped the next morning. I will probably try out my hana modz on the next trip. I just got a large portable power bank to charge it from.

Good luck, stay safe and have fun.

I'm gonna use an MVP2 with a decent size tank. I like to see which way the breeze is going no matter how slight it is. Whitetails are going to smell anything if they are down wind so I'm gonna vape whatever I feel like. I'm more of a stand hunter in bow season but if I were stalking I'd probably want an Evod on a lanyard even if I had to duct tape it on there.

 

[Kaezziel]

I usually just take an eGo, cause if I lose or break it I'm not gonna care... I can charge it in the truck, and I bring several spares... No Way am I toting my good mods out to the bush!

interesting, I don't know if we'll make it out to the friend's blind this year, the butcher almost son in law provides venison when we want it, so other than to go kill and spend a bunch of money, I've not gone since 2012, but yeah those deer catch any scent, if I'm out bow hunting, but I can't .... my 100#compound anymore and old so go for the less sporting blind these days...

interesting thought though...

I can see it now "Tinks 69" for the serious deer hunting vaper!!!

Now that's hardcore. Wonder what the throat hit is like on that...

at the thought of vaping that!!

As for me.... I think I'll be carrying something small in the woods with me this year. Probably a vision spinner topped with a mini protank 2. Small, cheep and if it falls 30+ feet from a tree, I haven't lost much.

 

[Kimmothy]

My husband bow hunts as well (although he's still learning, so it's mostly bow practice) and that's a great idea!

That. Is. AWESOME.

 

[Kimmothy]

I actually think the lanyard might be the perfect solution for him to come home with his vapor equipment still in working order. Maybe even an excuse for me to find him a camo colored wrap as well.

My REO is going into the Missouri bush with me for deer season this November. Well, not into the bush with me because that's one more thing to smell but yeah....
