Holy crap, a 5" gooseneck and a DoD on top of it?
You're pretty much a walking billboard.
I've gotten through 65 years using the philosophy that it is: "Always easier to ask for Forgiveness rather than Permission".
That's been my philosophy ever since I joined the Air Force back in 1985. I'll do what I need to do to get the job done and deal with the consequences later.
That's so funny! My boss told me that my eGo Twist w/ Ce4 looked kind of unusual today.

I had a woman pass me on the interstate yesterday and when I noticed her, she was shaking her head. I was vaping when she passed so I assume she thinks I was doing something 'illicit'.
My girlfriend and I are the only ones in my town that vape to my knowledge. I sure get a lot of questions about it.

I've had a few cops really stare me down recently. They clearly did not recognize my mod (chrome VTube) and were suspicious, but didn't stop me. We have a brick and mortar nearby, so maybe the word is getting around.
I rarely vape and drive. Once in a while on a long trip, but not in town for sure. There are enough distractions on the road. But then again I wasn't one to smoke and drive either. The only time I have been bothered was when the first banned smoking in bars in Mi. I simply explained to the off duty cop that it wasn't smoke.
I think people sometimes think I'm doing the other kind of toking when they see me w/this....lol
You must be one of those 10:2 hand placement people that make me nervous by being so tense lol
All good though im sure your a safe driver 
Great story!!!
In my business we deal with police officers alot. When I started vaping I asked one of them if they were aware of the PV's and Mods. He actually told me that they had a meeting on the different styles of ecigs out on the market so they wouldn't accidently mistake a PV for drug or drug paraphernalia and have any issues with citizens feeling they were being harrassed.

Glad the officer didn't "power trip" and try to take your vape away or accuse you of anything
I'm a total noob. I'm still waiting for my first PV to show up in my mailbox. I decided on an eGo Twist for my first battery partially because I was concerned a larger device might be misconstrued as something illegal. I've seen some gorgeous box mods and beautiful colored tanks and tips, but I figured it would be nice to have something small, subtle, and portable. I'm pretty sure I'm going to want a Provari or some other more fully featured APV in the near future if I turn out to enjoy this as much as most of the folks here do.
I have actually never noticed anyone vaping in a car with a more 'exotic' PV. I certainly had no idea there was such a variety in form factor until people posted some links in the Gizmodo review. I've had a few friends that tried the mass-market cigarette clones. None of them stuck with it, though (big surprise). I'd like to think that cops here in the SF Bay Area can tell the difference, but you never know. I know there is the reputation, largely true, that many police departments in our larger metros place a low priority on enforcing the laws on certain substances, but that is certainly not the case if you're driving.
I do wonder if cops may be more current on the vaping thing in places where cigarette smoking is more common and acceptable. California is pretty hardcore about tobacco smoking. Of course, as dry as our climate is, I would hope they would encourage anything that would stop people throwing butts out of car windows. We get a lot of grass fires along our roadways that way! There are house fires, forest fires, crashes when people drop a burning cigarette and freak out, or they toss one out and it lands in someone else's car. Not to mention just the litter and complaints smoking causes.
