i think if you used to smoke while you drive then more then likely your going to vape while you drive.
as long as you're focused on driving while vaping i see no problem with it.take caution that doing any type of multitasking while driving can be dangerous
When I was much younger, we multitasked while driving all the time.
Drinking Boone's Farm, smoking some herb, eating Hardee's cheeseburgers, and that was just with the left hand. The right arm was around the galfriend doing really fun stuff. Someone in the back seat would reach up every now and then, grab the wheel and make sure we stayed in the road. You couldn't let the backseater actually drive, they were usually drunk.

Not recommended any more. Kids today just can't handle that. We were professionals.

It's funny. I always thought I would prefer a cig-a-like for driving since it's less conspicuous.

But, the easiest thing to drive with is a 18650 tube mod. That way I can lay it in the passenger seat within reach and easily just reach over and grab it without having to look or feel around for it.

I've been trying to find a lanyard type thing for my Vamo. I have them for my eGos and love them while out and driving. I don't want a holster but just a simple lanyard. Anyone have any suggestions?

No difference.....if anything safer because no cumbustion. I even vape at the gas pump.

Not a very smart thing to do. It only takes a tiny spark to ignite the fumes, and YES, the little coil buried in the carto/clearo/atty is enough to do just that. Leave the PV in the car when pumping gas, for everyone's sake.

I vape and drive all the time. My only issue is with a race prepped suspension I am always in danger of knocking a tooth out on the drip tip

Get a Delrin drip tip to solve that little problem. :)

I find it safer than when I smoked cigarettes and drove.

Agreed. I make sure my tank is full before I start driving and that the battery is good. No fiddling around looking for the lighter & pack, I just grab my setup from wherever it is conveniently located in my peripheral view.

I still tend to keep other drivers from seeing me use it during passing. Nosy truckers have called me in before for thinking it was something else. Boo them.

Up here's it's illegal to operate a cellphone near gas pumps because of potential ignition of gas fumes. Using a PV while pumping gas encourages authorities to consider enacting bylaws regulating vaping.

What do you say for those who vape while driving?can it give a very dangerous hazrd or it is safe since while we are in the smoking time old days also smoke while driving?

In the UK, smoking whilst driving is banned. Vaping has not yet been addressed but I'm sure it will be tarred with the same brush.

I think vaping whilst driving is safer as I used to drive and roll my own cigarettes whilst steering with my "gentlemen's area". Now I just vape.

Oh, my! That would have been the end of my little world!! My school has a smoke-free campus policy... so my 40 minute drive to the campus has always been my nicotine binge time. When I smoked, I'd smoke three on the way to school and three on the way home. I couldn't imagine someone telling me I couldn't!! I feel for you guys.
