I haz a idea!

Howdy! Seasoned vaper, new poster. Started with Green Smokes back in 2008-2009 and they sucked. Now rockin' an SVD & Protank 3 and lovin' it!

Just got my bike up and running (Stage 3 2006 1250cc Sportster) and I'm going to be road trippin' next spring, so I've been thinking about modding my helmet. So how should I go about it? Mount a mod/battery to my helmet and run a short tube through to my mouth? I'd rather not have to move my hand off the bars to vape, not to mention the possibility of a BATTERY FAILURE ON MY HEAD AT 80MPH 8-o. Mount a mod/battery to the left grip and run 3' of tubing to my head? Even the SVD"s 10 second limit would kick in before the vapor made it. Plus it'd get stale sitting in the tube between snorts. What to do, what to do...

So I thought I had a great idea, which was to rig a 510 extension cable between the mod on the bars and a tank on the helmet plus a few inches of tubing. Seems like it'd work... If I could rig the cable. I haven't seen any for sale. Plus there's still the danger of failure near my hands, face, and gas tank.

*le sigh*

What about pulling power straight from my bike? Would a car lighter, usb plug, passthru combo work? Do autopassthrus exist (like an autobattery) so I wouldn't have to move my hand?

Well ....... this is a first!

At least you have 4-5 months to work out all the kinks. I'll check back from time to time to see how you are progressing. Almost forgot to say welcome to the forum. Glad to have you here!

This should be a very interesting thread!

I have to admit, it got me trying to think of a way to do it. Then I thought, it's a ridiculous idea. Why not just pull over every hour or so and have a short vape session. Maybe with a higher nic juice. Do you need to vape that often? I can go hours without vaping.

A buddy of mine at work vapes and rides a bike. He uses an eGo on a lanyard and just lifts up his face shield to take a drag. If you are a new rider and are not comfortable enough to ride with one hand, perhaps waiting until a stop would be best...

Thanks for the warm welcome, all!

When I smoked, it was generally at lower speeds. Definitely not doable on the highway. I'd keep it in my mouth through 3rd or 4th gear and then palm it down by the clutch.

Not a new rider at all; I've got 7 years of riding experience. Taking my hands off the bars isn't a big deal (I don't have blinkers, I use my left hand), I just don't want to be forced to do it, especially since I have a horn button that's not hooked to anything. And I don't wanna pull over, I'm tryin' to get somewhere! Orlando to Dallas is going to take long enough without vape breaks
