Wondering if this is really safe? It has a battery on it as does a cell phone so could it cause static electricity which could start a fire at the pump. Stupid question I know but I wonder all kids of crazy things!
Using your PV while pumping gas?

Don't do it. Fire , Explosions, strangers should/will yell at you for endangering there lives.

If you are concerned just don't vape for 5 minutes while you fill up,you should be ok
Strangers yes, the rest no. We've been through this.
Still don't recommend it, for appearances sake.
I know that on oil rigs and fume laden areas cellphones are a no go unless they are the Motorola sealed devices.
Basicly anything with a spark and or chance of arching is not safe around gas fumes.
I would be more worried about poly wool nylon static charge over a phone near a gas pump.

Please, can we not start this again? No cell phone has EVER started a fire at a gas station, anywhere, anytime, throughout history, including scientific experiments trying to CAUSE fires with cell phones.
The real problem is static electricity caused by getting in and out of your vehicle, which is what the placards warn against. The petroleum safety organization that makes the placards will even tell you this.
Please, can we not do this again?
I was more directing this at the people talking about cell phones.

It is completely safe, the mythbusters did a full episode on gas station explosions, and short of putting a match near the tank itself your fine, but i dont recommend it for the sake that people are would not see it as safe as it truly is.
NP I should have searched this before posting..Didnt know it had been brought up before.
In a different but similar vein, what about people on oxygen in their homes? Problem with vaping? Didn't know if this had been tossed out before but figured if it had been it could get answered again and tossed to the side with the gas station question. Two birds, one stone kinda thing.
I'd leave the thread active. I just tried searching for the other threads that have discussed this and they didn't turn up on the first page of results using "gas tank" and "pumping" as the search terms.
There are dozens of threads on this site that contain comments or questions posted multiple times. With the number of new members joining the site, it seem easier to me to let threads like this get some play because many will see it who might not have even thought to ask the question in the first place. If the question's already been asked before and you've already read a thread about it a while ago, just click on another thread.
Now, I'm off to post my new thread: "What's your favorite e-liquid flavor?"....I think no one's posted that one yet.....

have you ever seen how hot your atty can get? it can glow red hot. i would not recommend using it anywhere near gas.
Here's a couple that came up in a search:

Seriously, if you can't put your PV down long enough to fill up your tank, you might have a little more of a problem than a simple addiction to nicotine lol. 8-o
8-o <--- this is hilarious to me.

I don't care what the mythbusters say. The e-cig atty coil gets hotter than the flash point of gasoline vapor. An explosion is unlikely, but not impossible.
We can delete the thread, if you wish, but I would recommend to leave it as a reminder to the new members who didn't see the previous threads.
Alright then we can go ahead and leave it up in the hopes no one else will ask this again! Thanks everyone!
