Is it just me, or does anyone else feel weird vaping in their car at night? It's not the vaping per se, it's the BRIGHT BLUE LED. I know I'm not doing anything illegal, but I'm always worried that I'll get pulled over by an uninformed cop. I don't know what they'd "assume" my device was, but I know if it was me and I didn't know about e-cigs, I'd wonder what the heck that blue light was lol.

I think a blue light is better than a red or orange one. If you do get pulled over just be polite and hand them the device. All about educating others... That's why my wallet is stuffed with cards.

Yeah, it's become a habit to cover the light with my pinky. Do it in a public setting long enough and you'll do it like that every time.

Still, sometimes while I'm stealthing, I'll accidentally let out a plume. Quiet blowing works good for that. I could see that being a problem too, if a cop see's your car filled with smoke and the windows up.

You can use your hand to hide the light, but angus is right, just get a mod that has no light.

Consider me your recycling center for Njoy Pro, Smoking Everywhere Gold, Cloud 9, Smoke 51 Trio, and DSE103 useless batteries.
Other hardware if it’s still usable.
Those I loan out to/give to thank you.

My morning commute is in the dark and I have to pass through toll facilities, rather than deal with the potential hassle of being pulled over, I use to just pluck the LED's out of my 510's.

Well, just like when you're smoking at night and don't necessarily need to be noticed, you can have the "cherry" end right in the palm of your hand... To cover it..

I vaped out on the road tonight and didn't think a thing of it. Your finger kind of covers the light on the hello, anyway(it's right in the switch), but it's still a bright blue LED so it probably shows unless deliberately covering it (which isn't too difficult)

I really don't think a thing of it. If they want to pull me over, that's fine. Of course, if I were in Philly or somewhere like that ... I'd be a little more careful I am SURE :laugh:
