Tips for using DirectionAwareHoverEffect on mobile devices

Hi 
I'm just wondering if you have any tips for using this effect so it works as a first tap on mobile devices. I've added a mail to link when clicked with a mouse (works fine on desktops and fires the mailto after the hover effect) but would like the mailto link to fire on second tap on a mobile device.
I'm using jquery.hoverdir.js v1.1.2
thx in advance great hover effect BTW
