I have been vaping at the pump thinking that i have no chance of blowing myself up....


I just took the end cap of my xhaler off and was looking at the button randomly. That is when i noticed a dark spot where the button touches to complete the circuit. So i pressed the button and bam a spark happens when the circuit is completed. Now knowing this i would say DO NOT vape AT THE GAS PUMP!

On principal, I wouldn't vape while fueling, but I doubt it is very dangerous. Most fires that occur during refueling are caused by static electricity, where a spark occurs in proximity to gasoline vapors in or very near the tank opening. Unless you stick the end of your PV in the hole, you should be relatively safe.

Again: I wouldn't vape while fueling.
