Travel and Vaping A way to use non-protected batteries to charge up a eGo battery

[sit.happens]

I've read many, many warning on ecf about always using protected batteries. But thats for direct power, I assume.

I always though, wouldn't it be convenient if in a jam, you could just use duracell or energizer batteries.

What about a Portable USB Power Supply.

Granted, it's not a AA type battery charger, but to use it to charge up an eGo battery via the usb cable.

Has anybody used anything like this before? I'm thinking it might come in handy for travel incase your in a situation where your in between AC power, Just purchase some regular AA batteries and power up your eGo battery!

In the good old days I used to always carry a APC usb power pack, back then batteries were unreliable and lasted a short time (look at my avatar) . Its been a good 18 to 24 months since I carried one. These days of mega batts, better reliability and not to mention in-seat usb plug no need for me to carry one.

Are usb plugs commonplace on most aircraft? What about in economy seats?
What about passenger trains?

I can only assume they would be, considering the saturation of cell phones globally and the need to charge them up.

I was just thinking as a back up, but I suppose one can always find a plug in anywhere.

Don't know about trains, also USB on planes depends on the carrier and type of plane. But worst case if you travel with a laptop you can always charge using the USB from your laptop. Again has not been a issue with me lately and I am on the road quite a bit.
