So I posted this on my marathon forum and got nothing but nasty responses, so I hope some one here can help.

I'm about to run another marathon and this will be the first since I quit smoking. I'm trying to figure out how to carry a pv during the race. With a 4.5 hour race it will be difficult without it. For the record, yes I did stop for a cig during my first 2 marathons. That was easy just find a spectator who's smoking and ask for one. During training I've been carrying my gripper I'm the pocket of my shorts, but my race day shorts don't have a pocket, and while I do carry a belt for my packets of honey and a granola bar the gripper won't fit. So any runners out there have any suggestions?

Grab an automatic e cig. Attach a poly tube to it. Put it on headband. Then while you're running, you could vape all you want. That would be hilarious ! :D

Now that would be a sight to see!:D

I couldn't even imagine vaping and running at the same time. I can't vape for at least an hour after I get out of the gym. Maybe my old dirty lugs are shot :confused:

Now there's a thought, but what I'm mainly looking for is either a shirt with pockets or some kind of pack that would be able to carry what I have.

How about one of these: ElectronicStix.Com · The SD KeyRing by Trog (510 Threaded)

Top with a shorty carto filled with juice of choice, and you're GTG. That should fit in your belt, I'd think. I can totally see the comfort of at least having something with you. Whether or not you need or want to use it, that's for you to decide, no one else. Shame on anyone else for displaying such hurtful attitude toward you. Good luck on the marathon, sounds fun!!!

The Gripper is what you plan to take? How about a fingerless glove/sleeve for you hand with a pocket sewn in? Just keeps it attached in your palm for the whole race.

hmmm after giving this a few moments of thought... soak a cotton ball in your favorite juice, place wet cotton ball in a small plastic bag with a small hole in it, when the urge hits, suck a tiny bit of juice from the hole in the bag.... nic is delivered, tastes good and no need to carry a battery/mod....

Well running has a LOT to do with how you breath. The better your breathing techniques the better you will be able to run long distance. I used to run cross country. Ran 10 miles every other day. So I feel like vaping WHILE running might actually hurt your running ability more than anything. But hey, to each their own! Let us know how you do!
