Nautical Vaping - PVs are far better than combustibles in the marine environment.

I am pleased to report that a PV is a dramatic improvement over combustibles when one is on a boat.

  • Take a wave over the bow? Wipe the PV off with a beach towel and vape on.
  • Cruising at 30 mph and want to vape? No problem. Unlike Bic lighters, PVs are oblivious to wind.
  • Need to swim from the boat to the beach? A PV and a tank fit nicely in a ziplock sandwich bag, and most swim trunks have a pocket on the inside (ladies - I'll leave ya'll to your own devices on that one.. )
  • For us guys and gals with long hair, there is no problem with the wind whipping a lock of hair onto the end of your PV. No more shorties!
LOL. It's a new forum. When someone asks, now you can tell em to search for it. :eek:

I was in Panama City Beach for a week recently......brought my boat for fishing everyday and taking the family out every afternoon behind Shell island for swimming and sunning. I will agree with everything you just said.

Was tuna fishing 60 miles offshore (NJ) yesterday. Lanyard is a must when actively fishing. You forgot to mention impervious to fish slime!

Well, tell us about your catch!

And no fisherman's BS about the one that got away or mutinying the catch by two!

Your water sure is a lot nicer than ours is. My wife and I have been discussing moving to FL as a stop for a couple of years before heading even further south to somewhere in the Caribbean. I just have to find a position within my company where I can work virtual, a transfer, or something with another company that pays the same or better. That's going to be the tricky part.

I'm 7 hours away from Florida. We've been thinking about the same thing. Florida anyway and close to a boat ramp

Left the dock @ 4am, got out the fishing grounds around 5:45. Nothing for the first hour, then some large thunderstorms began developing with lightning. We pulled our lines up and made a few runs to avoid the storms, landing us around Barnegat Ridge. Trolled the ridge for 2 hours catching 15 bonito to 8lbs and countless bluefish(they all went back). Not the target species but great tablefare none the less. Fun day on the water. Did I mention it didn't even rain inshore or on land? Pretty crazy and creepy to get caught in isolated storms 60 miles out into the ocean with no cell service or internet!

Everything (atleast the ecig part, not the fish) also applies to motorcycle and convertible car riding... :cool:

Barnegat. I heard that was about as deep as most bath tubs.
Yeah, only about 55ft on the ridge dropping off to about 85ft. We started way further out in 180ft+ looking for tuna around some canyons but it was all thunder and lighting out there!! Stopped at Barnegat on the way in and saved the day with some bonito and blues...

Hmmm. We must be talking about a different Barnegat. A friend of mine took a 42' Sea Ray up there and bent up one of his props pretty good and he was in the marked channel. This was in Barnegat Bay. No channel in 55'-180' of water.

Barnegat Ridge is about 15 miles or so out of Barnegat Inlet. Oyster Creek and Double Creek channels in Barnegat Bay are very difficult to navigate and very shallow in some areas even in the marked channel (which changed again this year). You really need to know it to navigate. It's kind of a joke, see guys stuck all the time.

Someone needs to do a video of themselves vaping under water. LOL Put that bad boy in a ziploc bag with the drip tip out. Wrap a rubber band around the drip tip to seal. Put it in your mouth so water doesn't get it. Submerge vape and record.

That must have been the place.

Underwater vaping, eh. I guess it could be done, but I really don't see being able to do it more than once without getting water in the mouthpiece and coil. I can tell you that you can't make a video in the Chesapeake. It would be just a green screen.

Perhaps diving with an compressor on the boat instead of bottles opens chances... :)

That just made me think about an old diving suit with the helmet and an underwater welder.... guess you could strap your mod on a rubber band around your head and vape as needed...... or maybe a bit more practical, a mod in your pocket under the suite with a gooseneck going up through the helmet.

Ok...I got nothin... :D

LMAO. You get a cookie for the effort.

If you used one of the old diving helmets that had the hose that ran to the compressor on the boat, you could put a T in the air line and attach a PV. There would need to be a signal of some sort worked out so the diver could signal someone on the boat to hit the button and give him a Vape.

Thats the only thing thats been holding me back going for gold in Alaska. Who's alls in ?

I just realized that there might be a flaw in the helmet idea. The diver gives the signal to the surface, a mate hits the vape button, and the diver's helmet fills up with a massive cloud of key lime pie, the diver can't see the sharks coming his way, and then he dies.

The following day, the New York Times headline will be "Electronic Cigarettes cause shark attacks. We must ban them now!".
