Will it hurt anything if i leave my provari in my hot car for work breaks. I really don't have time to run all the way back to my locker to get my provari and then go all the way out to the end of the parking lot to get a vape in on my 15 minute breaks. I worry about how hot the car gets and just wondered if there are any concerns with leaving it in my car that gets hot while i work. I picked up a job on the weekends while i go to school during the week and it's just a joke that walmart makes me go all the way out to the end of the parking lot where i have to park during work just to vape...shakes head. They have some seats right outside where i could easily vape and not bother anyone but oh no...i gotta go to my car and vape. This seating right outside by the entrance is where their customers go to smoke before going into the store..they even have a cig disposable stand for them to put their cig butts... so why can't i vape there...grrrhhh!!!

Get a small cooler with a few blue ice packs, put a small towel on top of them and keep your ProVari in a Ziplock freezer bag up top. This is how I would deal with the situation. I'd be concerned about the battery in that type of heat.

Why not keep it in your purse? You can be vaping on your bathroom breaks.

we have to keep all stuff such as our purse in a locker in the back of the store...so on break i would have to walk all the way to the back of the store and then back to the front and then all the way out to the end of the parking lot for my 15 minute breaks and then take it all the way back to the locker in the back of store when my break is over...i wouldn't have time.

Personally I'd keep it in my pocket & be vaping on my way to the end of the parking lot. :sneaky:
Not like they're going to know you have it on you & I seriously doubt they're going to follow you as you walk to your car. :vapor:

my provari 3 is too long to keep in my pocket and i am afraid it will flip out and crack on the hard floor

I would not put Provari in an ice cooler. When you take it out it will gather a lot of condensation, on its insides also. Any electronic device brought from cold place to warm one have to be left unused for 1-2 hours to evaporate condensed water. You may also compromise longevity of Provari by frequent wetting.
May be to store just a battery in a cooler?

I keep an emergency set-up in my truck. I store it in an insulated lunch bag inside my center console or glove box. I take it out and use it occasionally or to check the charge and it never gets hot, even in the hot Texas summer sitting all day on a concrete parking lot. Mine is just a kids insulated lunch sack from Dollar General.

Really it all depends on how hot your car can get.

Where I live it would be absolutely catastrophic to leave a battery in the car.

I've seen the hard plastic jewel cases for CDs warp from being left in my wife's car. And I don't mean a little warping either, I'm talking huge waves.

thanks for the tips guys...i live in Indiana so it's starting to get hot here and only going to get hotter...i know my car is pretty hot when i come out on breaks. I will experiment with a cooler wrapped in towels so it doesn't get too cold to create condensation and see how it goes....as usual thanks for all the tips you guys are great!
