Welcome northern neighbor! You can vape in those temperatures, but you'll probably notice a significantly reduced throat hit and a much cooler vape. It's not bad, just different. I usually keep my ecig close to my body in an inside jacket pocket. I don't know if juice freezes, but I imagine it does...but I don't want to find out what happens if it does. We're at -10F today and things are humming along just fine for me!
I'm replying mostly to give you a bump and keep this thread higher in the stream, but I feel for you, my Canadian brother (or sister).
We're in a cold snap here on the west coast, too... it's 8C and sunny

Cold weather is one of the reasons I took up vaping, so I don't have to go outside.
But yes, ecigs work off heat, so the colder your liquid and ecig are, the less vapor they produce. Try to keep them inside your jacket where your body will keep them warm until you're ready to use them.

From Frozen Michigan, Always warm up interior of vehicle before vaping. I learned quickly from the windows having a nice coating of frost in a cold vehicle. Stay away from metal drip tips outside. You will get tired of peeling them off your lips.
Hey neighbour, welcome to the forum. Once you have 5 newcomer posts, be sure and check out the ECF->Canada subforum.
I don't enjoy vaping as much in the cold, e-cig vapor seems to taste less rich, but there is nothing special you need to do with your e-cig in cold weather, at least not that i'm aware of. But watch those metal drip tips!

I drive a school bus and in the morning I vape before getting on and driving. Down here in Southern Maryland we never got to the negatives but it was REALLY COLD during our brief polar vortex time. I kept it in my pocket or in my fingerless mitten. But it was a very cool vape. I could taste the flavor but not feel the vapor. Best place I found for short periods of time? Kept it in my bra
i was standing outside a pub last night having a vape and noticed a difference in the vape caused by the cold weather

Note to self buy a bra or should I take one of wifey's. Could send a wrong message ... I'll just suffer
Heh. That's picnic weather here. And we don't need ice chests for the beer.
I was outside watching Mrs. Kodiak chop wood yesterday for about two hours and didn't really notice anything different. Probably one of the perks of being a stupid newb. She wields a mean chain saw BTW.
I'm in south Louisiana and last week it was as cold as it gets here (about 15F) and I found when I left my device in the truck and it got cold I would get tons of gurgling and juice in my mouth when I tried to vape it. I have the protank II.
I actually had a horrible thought of "what if my drip tip gets too cold? Will my lip stick to it? Oh Lord that would be awful!" I wore a lot of lip balm Just In Case
Hello from your neighbor across the lake! I think that the cold weather is part of the reason I have been so successful. If I had tried to quit and switch to vaping in July here in upstate NY I may have felt the temptation to join my "still smoking" buddies. That said, I have had no issues vaping in -20F temps. I have even left my spare ecig in the car overnight when it was 5F and it fired up just fine in the morning. I did not check to see if the juice was frozen tho.

Where were you that it was 8 today?
Got to maybe 1 or 2 in Richmond today. Sun was nice though.
I've notice the juice gets really fouled vaping it in cold weather, not to mention if it's a bottom coil it will cause leakage when it warms up. It tastes great when I'm out in the cold but then when the juice warms up, the flavor becomes muted and it burns the nose. I just dumped a few ml out of a protank for that very reason as a matter of fact. Thought it would get back to normal in time but it never did. My hypothesis is that since the different ingredients freeze or at least thicken at different temperatures, they get separated when your tank gets very cold. So when you're vaping in the cold, you might be vaping just the pg or just the vg, leaving other ingredients frozen, especially if the vg is thinned with water. When it thaws out, your juice has less vg or pg now and more percentage of water or whatever parts of the ingredients didn't get vaped away in the cold, leaving a nasty tasting combination. That's my theory anyway.
My kayfun doesn't wick as fast in the cld weather. Also when I leave it out in the cold for a bit (in my truck) and then warm it up it leaks a little bit from the part where the plastic tank section meets the metal tank sections due to the temperature change.
Don't you boys have ANY good storage???
Yeah we do but...
1. It would be rude to pull out
2. just as rude to put back
3. It would draw attention
Grabs note pad ... buy a bigger mod
Thanks for the feedback. I'll be vaping a fair bit outside - parks and that sort of thing so I think I am going to make a "sweater" for my Kanger E-smart. I made one for my e-book and it does seem to help. My mother always carried her
