I was curious if there are any drip while you drive items aside from Johnson Creek E-Pump, and wonder if people are not selling them because of high shipping costs associated. Do you think there would be a market for a stainless steel cylinder box that collapsed and assembled, but folded down to a small size to hold E-juice (with a replaceable pump nozzle & such), or would stainless steel be unsafe to store juices in? Ideally it would distribute 2-3 drops a pump.

Say what now?

Not sure what this contraption would look like but the JC pump isn't really meant for 'on the fly' dripping.

I hate to sound sanctimonious about the dangers of distracted driving (we all hate "Nanny" finger wagging around here---particularly when it comes from the government or rabid anti smokers). But frankly, some of the comments from folks who seem quite sure they can pull off topping/dripping/dipping while driving scare the crap out of me.

It's plain foolish--and selfish--for any of us to insist that driving while fussing with juice and a PV is a perfectly acceptable practice. If you manage to get through one or ten or a hundred car trips without placing yourself or others in danger, it will only encourage you to keep taking the risk. All it takes is one split second with your eyes off the road.

I'll add the Wetbox to the list of safer alternatives suggested by others. It's a simple and effective box mod with a squeeze bottle juice-feeding system. (It uses cartos but I put a T-tip on the end because the carto mouthpiece can get hot and uncomfortable.) I put one in my breast pocket whenever I need to use the car. I'm familiar enough with the device that I know how to turn it on and use it without ever needing to look at it. Even so, I feel like I need to be careful. If the Wetbox isn't working properly or the battery is running low, I put it down until I can give it my full attention.

The other alternative I use in the car is swedish snus.

You have lots of safer options. I hope you'll find one that suits you.

Ok I'll chime in here. How many of us are guilty of using cell phone while driving? Looking or reaching for something while driving? Eating while driving? This one isn't a sexist thing, but I see it every day and I'm sure you do to, fixing makeup while driving? Heck while on the interstate I actually saw some idiot reading a book while going 80 mph (could not make this up). Seriously wanted to run her off the road and do everyone a favor.

Dripping while driving is a bad idea... period. Have I done it? yep.

I'm very safety unconscious....yeah that's what I said...I had the perfect solution..."Wetbox" That lasted about a week....I'm a carto man and I'll hit her up when I leave the yard. Somewhere down the road I'll hit a stop sign/light and hit her up if needed...I've found that when in a hurry to get somewhere just puff your cart till it needs a drop or 8 and all lights to your destination will remain green...Now hang up that dang cell phone and get off my ..............

I drive a stick, and love it. I vape and love it. At some point, I just said screw it and started using carts. I hate carts, but I love my car, and I love myself too much to risk either LOL! I have a few good cartos too, but that means I have to vape 3.7v, because I have yet to find a carto that lasts on a 5V PT.

Have you tried the Vapornine Turbo cartos? I use them at 6.4v in my AVS on my GGTS and they work great, no burning at all.

I have heard good things about the VN turbos. I might try them at some point. I'm holding my breath a bit to see if a 510 native carto comes out in my liking.
