Vaping At The Beach

[frosting]

I'm still a first year! Haven't experienced going to the beach with my vaping gear yet. Should I be concerned at all with the heat and my batteries? Using a regular old box mod. Just wanted to get other people's experiences with this. Mostly I'm concerned about finding a good spot away from people on the beach. I don't/can't handle anything getting stolen. This may seem silly but hey, better safe than battery exploding because of something easily avoidable.

Hi Frosting. Glad to see you again
I love the beach. Haven't taken my Kgo yet & I've been wondering about it also.
But I am mostly worried about the sand. I don't want to get sand in the threads of my pv. As for heat, you can always keep it in a little lunch box with some blue ice in there. Nice & cozy.

PS. Surfs up. Vape on

my volts did just fine at Disney World for ten hours at 96 degrees. I'd just try to keep them out of direct sunlight for long periods of time, keep them in a case or something, and put a towel over them. At least that's what I'd do

If I couldn't vape at the beach, I'd be in real trouble. I just spent a week on the outer banks of North Carolina and I vaped Everywhere i went (except in the water, of course). No problems, no negative comments at all. The few curious people got a lesson on PVs. Mostly an Ego twist at the beach.

One bit of advice, You mention finding a spot away from other people to avoid things getting stolen. I think you have this mixed up.

When I lived in VA beach, I learned that if you're going to leave items on the beach unwatched, it's best to find the most crowded areas to leave them. People are less likely to snatch your sunglasses, watch, whatever if it's surrounded by other people.

I can't speak for the box mod, but I live in Florida and go to the beach often. I have only taken my KGO to the beach twice as I got it a few weeks ago, but the heat seemed to have no effect. However, I got some sand in my threads and it took awhile to clean out, so I will put it in a zip lock bag next time I go.

With the heat, water & sand, when I go to the beach I just bring my 808s. I worry too much about ruining expensive mods. I have brought them a few times and had no problems, from either people at the beach or with the batteries themselves.

Great idea! Put them in a baggy or tupperware container inside a lunch box with blue ice. Perfect! Protected from heat, sand, and prying eyes.

Really, the beach shouldn't be a problem. If you're going to be there a long time, it would probably be best to keep your juice out of direct sunlight for prolonged periods. Other than that, it should be fine.

I spent a week at the beach last month. I just dropped mine in an inside pocket of my wife's beach bag. We were in a condo complex where we put our umbrellas and chairs on the beach on day one and took them down the night before we left. Shade helps keep things cooler, but heat wasn't a problem under the umbrella. I just wanted to keep sand out of it. I like the zip lock/blue ice idea.

I suppose if you had an all mechanical mod you could always pop out the battery and stuff and give it a bath if you do happen to get sand in it. I live too far away from a real beach, but my egos didn't seem to mind the trip to Indiana Beach LOL

I am glad you brought this one up. I haven't tried going to the beach with my PV yet but I've been curious about others experience. I did think the cooler and ice pack idea would be good except I worried about the condensation aspect. I guess I could keep my PV in it's own container inside the cooler.

Anyway, I have some ideas now for my next trip to the beach at least.

Vape on!
