I have a bit of a problem. I would like to kick analogs but my problem is that while I am feeding and bonding (loving, petting, grooming) my horses I like to smoke. My first analog of the day is when I am doing chores. I have a 510 and an ego. Both are too big to pack around and too clunky to smoke while I do this. I can't hold it in my mouth. I like the 306 for size but do not like the auto battery. I only smoke while I am out doing chores or playing horsey, so am still smoking 3 or 4 analogs a day. Batrtery life is really not an issue as long as it is around 1/2 hour. Does anyone have a suggestion. Also I do not use interact so it must be credit card or something similar. I hate C.O.D.

I make sure all my coats, jackets, and vests have an inside vest pocket. I also wear button down shirts most of the time and make sure they have at least one front pocket with a closure of some type. I am using a Provari with a vapemate, and I just slip it into a pocket. In the summer I will probably start using a bottom feeder mod which will fit better in my shirt pocket. All of these have a way to turn them off. I found it is great for me during feeding time at the barn, and also in the saddle. I found it to be to disturbing with a lanyard, especially if your riding a horse with a big trot. Also to avoid any possible mishaps, I try not to wear anything around my neck while riding.

Excellent advice bjannr. We do a lot of trail riding in the summer and I hate the risk of fire with cigs. Front pockets will work for me. I see what you mean about a lanyard at a big trot. I ride arabians and the gelding I trail ride with has a huge trot. Thanks

I would think sticking an ecig in your front pocket when mucking stalls could be a possible disadvantage. ;)

Haven't done it yet, but if I was to go riding with any ecig, I probably would use a lanyard. As women, we have an advantage - I tuck stuff like that in to my bra so it doesn't give me a black eye.

^^ Darn women and they're built in storage :laugh:

I never smoked in the barn ever myself... it was just a "thang" I had about the risks. While riding though I usually have to have a light jacket or a hoodie on because we're mostly tree'd here on narrow trails and the bugs will beat your .... if you don't, so I just use my pocket or pouch. I can't do the button up shirts for some reason..... just don't feel right, lol.

So much nicer now not to have the need of dismounting to safely extinguish a .... out on the trail !!

VapeOn,
Greg
