I felt this way about cigarettes and driving. If I went on an 8 hour trip up north, I could go through a pack. Now its 7-8ml of juice:D
I love to drive and vaping makes it much nicer. It will be especially nice not having to crack the window in the winter to get my nic fix!
Now all I need is some way to vape while I ride the motorcycle. Wouldn't THAT be quite a site?:laugh:

I do, buuuuut Im a truck driver. If I only vaped when I stopped, that would be going along time without. I tend to chain vape particularly in heavy traffic and hub citiesand challenging spots like descending steep mountain grades. Driving was always a trigger for smoking for me and certain things on the road that triggered me to light a new one up still seem to trigger me to vape. Like for some reason, as soon as I see a sign indicating a weigh station I would light a cig, but now I still start puffing on my chosen juice of the day.

Yes I do!

Driving has always been a time when I reached for an analog.

When I got a brand new car 2 years ago, I actually went about 3 months without smoking in the car, then that switched to smoking with the windows open. The car started to "smell like death" as my step son says. But I didn't care. I was a smoker!

Now I vape. Had my car detailed. now it smells like a car, and a little sweet from my vape.

I really relate to these "triggers" you mentioned. I live about 1/2 mile from an intersection with a traffic light and when I drive past I take a vape the same way I used to light a cigarette at this spot.

Get an automatic battery and drill a hole in your helmet? :p

Most of the time, ive recently realized, I'm just holding my twist while driving rather than vaping unless its on the charger, then I'm holding a blu.... but I chain vape when looking over the pepper garden for bugs, mostly because I chain smoked checking for bugs and my daily drive to work was only one analog, possibly two depending on traffic.

I don't think an autobattery would work well with that large of a hose, I would need a lot of primer puffs:laugh:
Maybe build a mod out of a tankbag and run a button up on the handlebars, with the hose going between by legs and up my jacket? Possibly rig it to be a bottom feeder by pressing the bottle with my knee? Ooooh, I like where this is going!:D

I drive and vape all the time. So much that I have to put it down intentionally or OD on nicotine, since it's not like an analog that is done in a few minutes. I do like that I can leave the windows up when I vape.

Before I started using a manual battery I wasn't sure how easy it would be to vape and drive but it's not a problem with my 510 batt. Sometimes I go with the auto batt when I want to feel more like I'm smoking an analog, and driving can bring that urge on for me.

As for others asking you to put your window down, there is still a cloud with vape that can be unpleasant for nonsmokers/nonvapers. Besides, have there been enough studies to show that secondhand vapor is harmless? I know it's not tobacco smoke, but I doubt it's inert.

Refilling a clearo and driving, try dripping an RDA and driving. :p
I don't see a problem with vaping and driving. There is no law or regulation or anything concerning smoking and driving, unless there's a kid in the car, then you win yourself the moral equivalency of a child murderer. I do, however, think that refilling a clearo and driving might possibly be a bit much.
