Vaping while driving

[Sickman75]

Hi all been lurking for awhile and getting ready to buy, I have 1 question before I try another e-cig.
A little background my first try at e-cigs was a disposable from the local gas station I had to make a 3hr drive in a company vehicle while it wasn't good it did show me that I could possibly get by with them and at $5 I wasn't out alot
next I tried an njoy nPro little more $$ but rechargeable but also my first problem and the question I have it would activate everytime I rolled down my window. I know easy cure leave the window up but a.) it was summer b.) it's part of the habit from smoking got to have that window cracked
so now the question
Do all auto batteries activate from having the window down?
Is this something that has been fixed or changed ?
what brands don't activate with windows down?

Guess that was 3 questions

If you can switch to a manual PV that goes away as a potential problem, and they really are pretty fast to pick up.

I'm actually thinking I will get 1 of each when I order worry some about trying to find the button while driving also I work outside in dirt/mud so hitting a button with muddy hands probably isn't a good thing? as opposed to a muddy print in middle of batt

My hubby has Joyetech 510 with automatic battery and it doesn´t vape on it´s own, when the car window is rolled down.

Really, some e-cig batteries are triggered by the suction from an open window when driving?

I never would have thought that. I'm brand new, only on day three, using disposable e-cigs. But one of the advantages, I was thinking, was being able to "smoke" (vape) while driving on the highway without the additional noise of having the car window cracked.

I think it was the sound microphone activated not the suction from having the window down, I could be wrong
yes that would be a good thing but habits are hard to break almost always have the window cracked even when not smoking :/

I have a Joye 510 also and it doesn't activate with windows down or on a windy day either

Get a Volt from SmokelessImage. Here is a video review in which a chainsaw and a leaf blower are used to test the activation of the auto Volts. Skip to about 14:00 to get to the test, but the whole review is pretty darn good.

I use auto batteries most of the time, as a former regular smoker I find the motion more similar than with manual batteries, and I have never had an issue with windows being rolled down. I've been using a v2 auto battery. They seem pretty sturdy but lately I've found over time they lose a little bit of quality. I've found myself having issues with getting the auto to vape (usually resetting it helps). You should just look into purchasing a well-made battery. It sounds like that battery may be a little too sensitive to airflow. I'd search around on ECF and find a good quality well-made battery.

spaceballsrules thanks I've seen that and that is actually what I'm thinking of getting but some discussion the last 24hrs about it being microphone activated got me worried just the same

and with that I got my 5 posts in so I can go there and ask

Thanks all

When I first Started vaping mine were auto and would activate at work in my pocket from all the machine noises
switched to manual batteries problem went away like manual a lot better.

There's a reason that nearly none of the better PVs have automatic batteries. Because 95% of the people who have been vaping more than a few months or so "graduate" and realize that don't need them. (See how new to vaping the "auto people" are compared to the "manual people"?) You won't fumble for the button while driving. It won't take more than 5 minutes to become second nature. You won't mess up the battery with muddy hands. Virtually all the manual batteries are sealed, so you also won't short out the batt like you can on many of the auto batts. You will have vastly more contol over the amount of vapor you get with a manual battery.

Auto batteries were created to attract newbies who think they must have something that mimics an analog. Like analog look-alikes with red LED's, it's a marketing gimmick that the vast majority of people outgrow in short order. Meanwhile, companies like Blu and V2 take the newbies to the cleaners until they wake up.

I promise you that, before long, you will tire of the limitations of the newbie PV's, and you too will graduate to a real PV with a manual battery. The sooner you get used to one, the better off you'll be.

The way nicotine is absorbed an dissipated is different in a PV than it is in an analog. Vaping isn't like smoking a cigarette. You don't need to puff on it every 5 seconds while it hangs out of your mouth. Believe me, I know. Two years ago I was a 3/PAD chain-smoker who literally lit one off the other. I have no problem putting my PV down and taking a few hits every minute or three.

My Joyetech 510 automatic battery doesn't get triggered by the car window either...

And I also prefer the auto batteries because I ruined 3 atomisers by activating a manual eGo-T battery in my pocket. Now I always make sure the little button cover is in place before putting it in my pocket. I still see why people like to use automatic batteries on the go.

Auto batteries work by either suction (car window open) or sound (nightclubs and whatnot) so pick your poison.
Manual batteries are far better for all the reasons mentioned above.

My advice is to get one of each if you have concerns.
Then after you've tried a manual battery you can throw the auto battery away.


Of course, there are some folks with a legitimate need for auto batteries.
And there are some folks with a legitimate want for auto batteries even after trying a manual.

But these folks are not all that common, and the odds are you won't be one of them.

But if you find you really NEED auto batteries, then it seems the Volt has a very, very good one.

I do when I drive!! I like the random looks I get when I'm vaping with my epipemods churchwarden

My best advise is to not buy the gas station e-cigs and get an ego-t. The button is easy to find as it is a raised button. I've never had a problem with it while driving.

SD keychain is auto and I haven't had it go off due to noise or wind. I have 3 of them. Can be purchased at cloudsofvapor or electronicstix. They are small but they also last a little longer than the slim ecigs.
