I like cartomizers. Sometimes they do get dry on the road. I try to only let myself add drops if I need to when a light has just turned red and I know I have the seconds to do it/at a stop sign when no one is around anyways and I can take my sweet ... time. I don't do it when actually in motion. I don't advocate others to do it either.

I use to have that problem. Waiting until stop signs or stop lights to get a few drops in during my commute of over an hour. Being annoyed because dripping was needed but the traffic was too bad to even attempt which made wanting a vape even greater. (Going home was not usually an issue as I can go the whole trip home with only a few vapes, but the morning drive could be annoying.)

Then I got ahold of VVPV ( includes batts + charger ) deliver is one week after release - notcigs.com and I'm only annoyed by the contractors trying to write stuff down while on their cell and driving and the folks who think the speed limit for the interstate on ramp is 20mph.
you must make alot of money, those things are expensive!LOL.I don't drip for just that reason. I have enough problems paying attention while driving without trying to drip, what a waste of lives, don't be that foolish:(

I'm thinking: wow, yep, that thing IS pretty expensive for a po' old guy like me! Then, I'm thinking: heck, before I started vaping I could have bought over a month's supply of cigarettes for that much money!

So now I'm having to try & talk myself OUT of upgrading from my E-Power. Well, it's *ain't* broke.... :)

Happy (& safe!) Vaping, everyone! :vapor:

No, I don't make that much money. Even took a cut in pay when my last place of employment shut down the location I worked in so I make less now than when I started vaping. I spent about $150 a month on cigarettes and when the next month rolled around I had to spend it again. Since I have not bought a cigarette in over 2 years spending $150-250 for a mod that will last me at least a year is not really an issue.

Take the amount you spent on cigs every week or month and set it aside. Buy your vaping supplies from that set of money. When that set-aside gets to be a few hundred, buy some tile for the kitchen floor. When you get done intstalling the tile, treat yourself to a new PV... Well, that's what I did...

I'm in the same boat. Until my eGo batts go tango uniform, I'm sticking w/ the pv that satisfies my need given the money already spent.

Randy ... (OP) you're obviously joking, because nobody drives 80mph in South West Florida in February/March on a public road. It's the height of tourist and snowbird season. You're lucky if you're doing 30!! :D
But if you're a dripper and frustrated because you can't or shouldn't drip and drive, get a Vapemate from SuperT. You can manipulate it while driving without even looking at your PV ... after you've practiced at home for a couple of hours. I use it for long distance travel where I'd go nuts without it because I just can't stand cartos and all that other stuff. Of course, a bottom feeder might work just as well, haven't tried one yet.

Very dangerous. As a kid my father used to drive with his knees while holding a cup of coffee, smoking a cigarette, and shifting. He used to think he was a good driver being able to do this. I remember one time watching the news with him we saw a story about a lady trying to smoke a cigarette and shift at the same time and got into a very bad accident hurting the other driver as well as their passenger. After this he never did it again. Point is don't do it. Its stupid, and you could hurt yourself as well as others.

If you have to us a tank or a larger cartomizer do it.

Ok Ok... I was exaggerating my dripping and driving experiences- mainly to strike up a bit of humor. So... for those of you who like to throw rocks at people- from behind the curtain of internet forum anonymity- you can stop now:)

What strikes me funny is this: Most of you who replied with "you're going to kill an innocent family" type of responses- I've seen many of you putting your eyeliner or lipstick on, texting or emailing, reading a book, or doing some other totally distracting things while driving. We're all guilty of doing some pretty distracting things while driving, so lighten up, take the stick out of your axx, and enjoy a bit of humor.

Hi guys,

Ok... I'm going to tell on myself. I know, I know... it's not safe, but I'm guilty of dripping and driving :oops:. I commute one hour each way to work and do some serious vaping in my truck. I find myself, changing batteries, filling cartos, charging batteries, and occasionally blowing out clogged cartos (into a paper towel). All while going down the road at 80mph. I know I've got to stop this behavior. If cell phone use while driving is unsafe, then this is over the top! Anyone else???

Changing batteries?? It sounds like you need a Mod with a Bigger battery.....

1. Put 2 bonuts in your atty, it will take 6 or 7 drops then. Less dripping.

2. Get a liquid feed mod. This is the best solution for people who like dripping as it's a 6ml dripper.

3. Combine #1 and #2, then you even have less squonking to do.

4. Get a VV bottom feeder with atty bonuts and you are in Dripper's Heaven.
