    Just saw a fuel hauler vaping while unloading at a gas station -- I know there's no open flame, but isn't that considered smoking? I mean you're heating a fluid enough to vaporize it...

    I don't think so. I can control my vape temp. Also it's all about flash points.

    No it is not smoking, there is no open flame. Nothing is burning. In the manner of using it in relation to public health, many states see it as smoking. But in reality it is not smoking.

    Vaping is closer to turning on a flashlight then smoking a lit cigarette

    So when his vapor blows up in his mouth like a few down here in Florida have, how does that play out with a tanker full of fuel and the fumes that accommodate it?

    Hell if I pull into a gas station on a really still night and the fumes from a tanker filling tanks are just sitting in the air, I leave.

    I can't believe some nights that something doesn't light the fumes up.

    The guys who have had theirs blow up are issuing unregulated mods with batteries wired in series. They are over volting their batteries heading then up and then causes the protective plastic covering to melt away cause the contacts to short out and then batteries having an explosive blow out
