DIY: Custom PV Car Mount

[mackdaddytran]

Couldn't find a DIY section for this, so mods feel free to move if needed.

This only cost me two dollars and it was money well spent since my car has an awkward positioned cupholder so it's kinda difficult to reach my PV.

I bought it at Home Depot (http://www.homedepot.com/p/DIG-Corp...Pack-F68PRO/202245323?N=bqewZ601#.UYJ43MrPLDx). Mine came in a pack of 5, and with the two holes I'm able to hold my spare battery in the back, and the PV in the front. It's mounted with 3M double sided tape I had lying around.

I used two pieces and they're about 3.5" apart from each other so my eGo Twist is secure but it also lets me put it in and pull it out with ease (that's what she said).

I was looking at this car mount (SlipGrip Mount Holder for E Cigarette Ego T Joye Ego All Used in Car House Work | eBay) and couldn't justifying paying that much for a piece of plastic so i decided to make my own

Any questions let me know!

BRILLIANT!

I don't think that would work on my Harley (they vibrate a bit ) but I do have plans to get my own car in a year or two so will keep this in mind. I'm pretty sure my wife would not want something like this in her car though. LOL!

HOLY HECK! another stick driver!
People act like i'm a smoker when I tell them I drive a manual. lol. I gripe that i'm having a hard time finding a family sized car that is stick and they look at me like i'm bananas and say "why not get an auto? the resale will be higher"

CUZ I DONT WANNA! heh. I'm in the market for a new car because I had a 2010 soul and it was first car i'd owned with cruise...and I occasionally drive 16hrs to chicago with my kids. not as fun as it sounds without cruise. I swapped to a 2012 soul same model etc...has slightly bigger engine and lower payment, but evidently they stopped offering cruise in 2012 man. so now i'm shopping again. Lesigh.

I just do what I use to do with my 20oz dew bottles. stick em between my legs when driving. my cupholder in my sephia was shallow and bottles would tip over fairly easily....so i'd keep it between my legs for better one handed cap removing and drinking while driving. my 11yr old sephia totally had this weird skidmark on the seat from the condensation of the bottles attracting dirt. gross. lol.

I don't usually do 20ozs anymore and my cupholders are much better in the soul, so now my PV gets tucked between my legs while driving. Dirty...hahhaa.

For long road trips I use a 5v pass through and hang it with a Command coard organizer.

I drive stick too. Every car I've ever owned has been standard. So much more control in snow.

Same here! Another stick advantage I've recently read in the news .... several car jackings where thugs got in the car and couldn't drive it away.

Wife & I both vape in the car, I use a cut down pool noodle inside a coozy, stashed in a door cup holder. In my car these lower door cup holders are worthless for beverages, but perfect for an APV!

YEP! thats why my 99 kia sephia was stick...I grew up in chicago. Got my license in 3' of snow actually. i've been in dallas for 13yrs...so not really an issue here so much...but it has snowed recently a bit and not only are they really crappy snow drivers here, but the stick helps. its everyone else you gotta watch out for!

my kids have learned i jump at green lights so they always turn around and see how much further ahead I am of the car behind me at the red light. LOL. my ex used to joke I turned corners faster than I drove. part of the fun of stick baby!

ROFLMAO. thats awesome. i'm gonna use that!

I honestly like driving automatic better than a standard. But the FR-S would be a waste of a car if it i was auto.

In open roads I'm fine with manual, but Houston rush hour makes driving a stick hell.

 

[MrStik]

I drive a stick as well. It is a HAte, Hate, and sometimes love relationship. The double hate comes from driving in Southern California Freeways during rush hour traffic. The stop and go's REALLY Suck.

The love is driving in Southern California Freeways when there is NO traffic.

Interesting. In Houston rush hour, actually prefer stick over my other car, an automatic. Trick is start off & keep it in 2nd for the constant stop & go ... hardly any shifting that way. To amuse myself, I often see how long I can go without hitting the brakes, just clutch work. OK, I admit, I'm easily amused

Necessity is the mother of all inventions, nice. You can also buy one here and there's another called the 'ecig caddy'.

There is this...

My local B&M was sent this by Provape as a "tester". Not sure if they are for sell yet, but should be soon if not. The store owner showed this to me without knowing what it was. Luckily, a friend of mine quickly figured out it was intended to be placed into a cupholder. Love having this thing in my Z06 Corvette! Was always holding my Provari's in-between my legs or holding it while trying to shift, etc..

Cheers!

 

[mackdaddytran]

I wish that was an option for me, in my TL I wouldn't mind leaving it in the cupholder, but in my FR-S the cupholder isn't located in an ease of access spot

Cool that provape made that though!

 

[Turbo]

I've been waiting for a cup holder/mod station. Nice! Wonder if it'll work in my cup holder and fit my Orion?

You just have to be commited to the stick in Houston that is all. lol

i lieu of a standard shift, i have found that my triptonic shift helps immensely in the snow. (and while darting around town )

i guess i lucked out by having a cup holder in excellent placement for a PV. the two cupholders are connected though, creating a trough- which is not good. what ive done is taken a small hand towel and rolled it up to stuff into the other cupholder, creating a solf pillow for my PVs \o/

sure, my cupholders can now no longer be used for cups, but i use a water bottle anyway and that puppy can just get tossed where-ever the F it wants. usually in the door compartment.

Looks good , I wonder how much will they charge for it tough.
I think my initial mod is better because now I store one or two 10 ml bottles on e-juice inside the cup. Out of heat and the sun.
Maybe they can copy some ideas here and make their design better because I don't see the need of so may holes.

 

[Salm12]

Awesome idea. I love DIY accessories haha. Im in the midst now of building my own shelving/storage unit for all my stuff. This is defenitly going to be the next plan of action once I finish that!
