So let me start this off by saying, I most definitely consider myself a dripper. I love the full flavor you get out of it. Usually while I'm driving I'll just throw my Vivi Nova tank on my SB so I don't have to worry about trying to drip the whole time. Needless to say, I was just missing the full flavor of my Dragon's Tear juice and thought to myself "screw it, I'm gonna try to drip". That was a bad idea... lol It's much harder than you would think. I totally missed my atty and ended up dripping like 2 drops on my pants on my way to work. I had to walk around with freakin juice stains by my crotch all day. Not cool.
So in conclusion, learn from my mistakes; don't drip and drive. ;)

Not to be hating on you but every time I won't be fully focused on the road to light up or other stuff I like to get on the shoulder at a safe distance so as not to be ran over by another distracted driver...

I'ts funny how fast you can drip like this and then be on the road and happier than when you parked in less than a minute...
Really can't you loose a minute?

lolz :2c:

Yea I'd rather not pull over... lol Especially with my HH.357 atty; it's kind of picky. She only likes at the most 2 drops, or else she'll start spitting like crazy. 1 drop vapes the best though, so it would be kind of ridiculous if I pulled over on every time I just wanted to drip a single drop... I'll just stick to my vivi nova setup. :)

I stick to tanks or a VN when I'm driving now days.

Dripping and driving isn't too hard most of the time though since traffic sucks around here. I spend enough time sitting at stop lights that it's not much of an issue.

Yea if I did more driving in the city I would be able to do it at stop lights. Most of my driving is on the highway though and it's always really busy. Not to mention, people don't know how to drive over here so you always have to keep an eye out. lol

My bad.

look like you would need a setup 4 da road, the thickest clouds, low nic so no dosing and driving ;), a passthrough so no batt problems...

I saw somewhere in ECF that someone was building mod boxes with passthoughs and AA batts and they said with 4 AA ir runned at about 4.7 v so theres another idea for you.

I remembered when I started to drive I wanted all green lights, nowadays I keep wishing for the red to send that txt or see that pic your hot friend posted, also to fill my tanks.

Drive safe

You DO NOT want to run regular AA batteries in an e-cig. It's not safe.

That's the first thing I remember hearing about Mods... Don't use unprotected batteries.

Sorry for being a noob. Don't blow your face off good tip

Youre selling yourself short using a Vivi Nova and expecting anywhere near the flavor of dripping, you probably already know that. Get yourself a pyrex tank from IBTanked or Phiniac and a couple of 1.7ohm Smokteks that are pre-punched. Still wont equal the flavor of dripping but will be a LOT more than a Nova.

I've wanted to get a Phiniac tank for sooo long now! I've seriously been thinking of just biting the bullet and getting one... They're just too dang gorgeous to NOT have one. lol

Flavor from a pyrex is incredible too compared to plastic plus you dont have to worry about juices cracking tanks. If money is a concern IBTanked is a little cheaper but not as pretty IMO

You might want to try some 1ml. Kanger M3 clearos to use while you are on the road. They produce a warm vape and I think the clarity of the taste rivals dripping with good vapor production. They aren't rebuildable but are pretty inexpensive. Mine are still working fine after two weeks. I clean them after two to three fills. Vapor Beast and Stormy's Vapor Cellar carry them.

Thanks for the advice! I'm actually on the Phiniac website right now trying to pick one out ;)

I may or may not know someone who was fiddling with their PV while driving (screwing a carto in or something?). They may or may not have side-swiped a concrete divider. They may or may not have been scared to death that they ruined their front quarter panel. They may or may not have gotten lucky and escaped with zero damage to their car.

They definitely do NOT fiddle with anything while driving anymore. Bottom feeders/tanks only.

You would probably be a great candidate for a bottom feeder. Also, you can check out some of the rebuildable dripping atties. Depending on how you set it up, you can drip around 20 drops before you leave the driveway and depending on how far you are going and how heavy you vape in the car, it could last your commute.

I understand why you may want to pull to the shoulder but re-entering the freeway from the shoulder is also rather dangerous. Maybe where you live there are nice clear shoulders, but here they're narrow and pitted. It's nigh on impossible to get up to freeway speed and merge in easily. The law here is that you pull on to the shoulder for emergencies only. Not to make a phone call or light a cigarette or drip or anything like that.

I just make sure I have everything all set up and in my cup holder ready to vape before I drive. I don't bother with pass-throughs or anything like that. I have three 1000 mah Twists. I tend to charge them at work. My drive is 40-90 minutes each way depending on traffic. I have plenty of battery life to get through without needing to charge. I just put a clearo on each battery, different flavors, and that is plenty to get me through.

The Vivis aren't bad but they're kinda muted in flavor. They were a bit better after trimming about 1cm off the wicks and un-twisting the fibers. I also just tried a Split Fire and that's a freaking fog machine. Tears through juice super fast (not surprising) but pretty awesome in the flavor department. I've been liking the new version of the CE2 bottom coils. Better flavor than the Vivi IMO. The CE2s I have are small. They hold a little over 1ml, so I just fill a bunch at the beginning of the week. I'm in no risk of going dry. I can't get through even 1ml on my drive.
