Dripping while driving...

[Atamis Pirate]

While driving to school I noticed someone in another car dripping liquid into his e-cig. At first I thought "Oh how cool. Someone else in San Antonio has an e-cig" but after thinking for a few seconds I realized how stupid of an action he was doing. San Antonio has already made it illegal to text while driving so I can't imagine how distacting it is to drip while driving. All we need now is to have a news report on how someone got into an accident while using an e-cig. As much as I wanted to open my door and tell him to stop I was going 60 on a freeway...

Well at least he didn't run you off the road.

I tried it once and decided it was a really dangerous thing to do. There are devices that allow for no aim dripping. That has worked for me.

This is the reason I now use bottom feeder mods only. I can use atties or cartos and never run out of juice. Dripping and driving just don't mix.

 

[SpiderMo]

you can also use a vape mate it will do the dripping for ya

 

[kot1rc5]

This was the main reason I started to look at bottom feeders

I have to admit Iam guilty of this myself.I drip on my way to work because I want the best TH before work! I sometimes use boge cartos but I love the flav of the drip. I know its wrong and I will try not to drip and drive again!

Bad Idea IMO also gives e cig smokers. "another" thing to be criticized for. However people we all do things everyday ( eat , text, talk, etc.. ) that we think duh !! That wasn't so smart . Forgiveness is golden

 

[cRaZyIpAdMoM]

Mentally letting the air out of the tires helps too

I drip and drive. I do not drip while the car is in motion, however.

Also, I live in Atlanta...Traffic Capital of the Southeast. It's the only good thing about taking 15 minutes to go 2 miles.

If I know I have a long drive with no traffic...(a rare occurrence), I bring zee little Jambox with a DCC.

I have to admit, I drip and drive all the time but I only eye it long enough to place the tip of the bottle directly into the end of my driptip. I don't look at it any longer than it takes me to look at my radio to see what time it is so I don't believe it to be an issue with me. I use a wide mouth driptip also.

I am currently using a BE112 atty on my Prodigy, so 6 to 7 drops is just about a perfect drip-prep for me. My wife is diabetic, so I have this nice supply of insulin syringes to use. I take off the needle, wash out the syringe real well, and load it up with 15 units of juice and cap it with a piece of heat-shrink tubing with one end of the tubing heat crimped. Six, or so, of those make for any drive I've taken so far.

For me, it's just grab a syringe, pull the cap off, shove it into the drip tip, push the plunger down all the way, and toss the syringe in the ash tray--all by feel--never taking my eyes off the road.

If you don't have a feeder arrangement, and can get some syringes that are graduated in units, a little preparation will go a long way toward making for a safer vaping trip on the road.

I'm curious Allan...How do you take off the needle from the insulin syringes? I've tried this with the insulin syringes my father uses and it seems the needles are embedded in the plastic.

What I'm guessing is that the ones I have are a different type. (They go to 100 units.)

 

[nocturn4l3030]

i'm guilty of this =(

i'm one of those that text, talks on the phone without a headset, surfs the web in traffic etc.. but i duno i feel very aware of my surroundings and i feel i'm an excellent driver -.-;;;

that said i shouldn't do it.. but i do! i have a couple tanks sitting around that i haven't gotten around to fiddling with. if only ecig products were as easy as plug and play...

 

[MickeyRat]

For those that want to do this. There are devices that make it a lot safer. The vapemate has already been mentioned but, there are lower priced alternatives. The DOD at madvapes is supposed to drip as you vape. It's not that good for that on an atty. Probably works well on a carto. However, the bottle is right there over the atty and you can just give it a squeeze without looking. I drove for 10 hours doing that. Notcigs has a device called the dripper that is supposed to work. I don't have any experience with it but, I've seen others that say it works. Both the DOD and the dripper are under $20.

hmm i drip and drive all the time. haha woops. I even drive a manual transmission car, but I time it so I only do it when it;s "safe." Like at a red light or when there are no cars around. I firmly grip the ecig and the wheel and quickly drip two drops in it when things are safe. If not, then I wait

 

[Barto]

I don't because after all it is a distraction and can increase risk of traffic accident. I'm a noob driver.

 

[HazeyPurpleHippy]

I am guilty of this as well. Also with a manual car. Is definately dangerous. I think it may even be more dangerous than texting while driving, as, at least for me, it seems to take much more concentration to drip and drive, then it does to talk or text. Maybe we need a youtube public service commercial (FRIENDS DON'T LET OTHER FRIENDS, DRIP AND DRIVE) lol.

 

[Atamis Pirate]

Exactly! You need to take your friends bottle of liquid before they start driving! XD

They're "BD Insulin Syringes". Capacity is 50 units (1/2mL), with a 8mm x 31G needle.NDC/HRI# 08290-3284-68 328468. The syringe body is only around 5mm in diameter, so it'll go into a PureSmoker "zip tip" past the needle mount.

I've removed the needles by hand, but usually grab the needle skirt with a pair of pliers, then give it a twist-n-pull. The needles get snipped-off the skirts into a milk jug, or something similar, and pitched into the trash.
