Vaping in the Rain or snow?

[djp5690]

As my avatar may indicate, i love to fish. I used to smoke about a pack more per day when fishing. Now that i'm done with analogs, fishing just got cheaper. My question is how does bad weather effect vaping? Will I ruin my batts if its raining? Will the cold kill my battery life/power?

I can't say for sure, but I've vaped in the shower before if that helps.

I have vaped in the rain (and the shower!) and have never had a problem, just keep water from getting directly in/on it and you should be fine. Cold is fine for pv's--I think they work better in cold than heat, as the heat in summer makes everything heat up.

The cold shouldn't be a bother, since I've heard the best way to keep batteries you're not using is at 40% in the freezer.

As for the rain, it shouldn't do anything unless any of it gets into the electronics. It could be a problem if you have a drip tip and water is getting into your atty/carto, but that shouldn't really do much but flood or water down your juice.

I don't think should be a problem at all man. I think heat will actually affect it more than the actual cold. If you leave the batteries in the cold for a whole day then yeah maybe, but when they are in your pocket and stuff they should be fine. As for the rain well to be honest PV a lot of them dont have many openings when fully assembled, that doesn't mean you can swim and vape but if you can try to avoid the rain getting it the better, remember you are using an electronic, is the same as in using your portable dvd player in the rain. The good thing is if a few drops hit it you should be fine, now you can't like put it under the water no.

I vape in the snow all the time. Just part if being in Alaska.

Two suggestions to minimize the chance of 'weather failure', just a single drop of CorrosionX or, if ya have nothing else, WD40 on the button/switch assembly. Also, try to keep the button on the under side of the batt. Actually, this is my normal batt orientation since I use my thumb on the button.

Get some lil plastic sandwich baggies and make a rain coat of sorts for it!!

Don't drop it in the bait tank!
I did have one battery die from salt water exposure (I think).
But we got limits so who cares?

I have vaped in the rain and many times in the snow while skiing. As others have posted just don't get it soaked. When on the slopes I leave expensive MOD's in the car and carry Ego/Riva batts and boge 2.0 ohm cartos. Those are expendable and if I drop one off a lift it is a lot easier to take than seeing the loss of a $200+ MOD.

John Wayne, vaping in the shower......disturbing at best

I think it'll be much easier that smoking analogs in the rain or snow

Just don't run it through the washing machine. That's the only way I've killed a batt so far.

I hold the button on the bottom and press it with my thumb when in rain.

I'm a bit surprised that no one else posted this yet (man vaping in shower):

I love vaping in the rain and cold. The vapor looks huge and hangs around forever! I have had more problems vaping in the heat then I do in the rain or cold.

My Reo Grand and Mini both work great in the rain. They are all mechanical, so no electronics to get messed up. The best way to clean them is hot running water. I have even dropped them in a water bucket, a feed bucket of wet mash, dried them off and they fired right up.

LOL...this post has made my day!!!

As long as you don't have metal drip tips, you'll be fine in the winter.

As for the batts, they lose efficiency when out in the cold (general statement on batts). In your hand, you'll be alright. Just be careful that your juice doesm't freeze.
