I was getting worried
This morning?I went out of town for the weekend and haven't been here much since Thursday. Took me most of the day to catch up.
I almost violated my no buy after the 8th rule today. It'll be winter before too long and I got to thinking about this crazy ice storm we had a few years back and how we had no power for 2 weeks!! It was about 4 days before I could even get out of the house. Then I thought that maybe I should get one more Evic VT just for some battery life. Now mind you, I don't even use the one I have very often much less thinking about needing another one. So I hunted around today until I found one at a semi reasonable price, put it in the cart and was going through the checkout process when I ran into Blue Check. No thank you, dumped the cart and walked away. Then it really made me realize the whole purchase would have been stupid anyway. I decided that this fall instead of my annual 8 18650 battery purchase I'd pick up 16 instead and another 4 bay charger. Use them for 2 years in rotation instead of the typical 1 year that I do now with 8. Ice storms don't sneak up on ya, plenty of warning time to be charged up and ready to go.
So I guess I can thank Blue Check for keeping me vape purchase free after the 8th as I intend to remain.![]()
These things are dirt cheap now and you can get bigger as well. Jackery 12k mah is around $20 and their 21k mah is like $35. I have them in my cart / saved for later as I really haven't had to use the 3500 mah one I bought yet but at those prices they are great to have even if you hardly/never need them.I bought a PowerGen 12000 mah external Battery Pack several years ago on a great sale at Amazon so in case we lost power I'd still be able to charge my batteries at least a few times. I told my DH I was buying it so if the power was out we would be able to recharge our cell phoneI also take it on long car trips so we can easily recharge phones or kindles or my batts while driving.

You know, I have a small battery pack for my phone and since many of the mods use the same cord as the phone, I could use that little thing in a pinch, I bet.These things are dirt cheap now and you can get bigger as well.

Ouch. I just knocked my new emerald green provari off the computer desk, it bounced off a metal mouse pad on the keyboard tray, bounced off a lower shelf AND the door and spun across the floor.
When I picked it up there was a big old scratch in that pretty green mod. Sad face occurred. Then I noticed that scratch move just a bit. So I touched it and yep........dog hair. The vari is fine.![]()
So did I but I bought this brand in 2014. Use mine all the time when traveling. Still going strong too.I bought a PowerGen 12000 mah external Battery Pack several years ago on a great sale at Amazon so in case we lost power I'd still be able to charge my batteries at least a few times.

You will like it. I bought the matching cord to go with it too. Had mine since 2014 and use it to charge my cell phone. It is also handy to charge at night too, when I need to have my phone next to me and still use my phone.That's the one I have in my cart, with the 20.1k mah in the saved for later.
I have the small 3k or 3.5k version for traveling. I have only needed to use it once or twice. I always keep it charged up just in case but it can only do a phone ~1.5 times so I wanted to get a couple bigger ones in case of extended power outages.You will like it.

I've been thinking of buying one. Look at this one 20K For $16. https://www.amazon.com/Portable-Ext...TF8&qid=1471918238&sr=1-8&keywords=Power+bankThese things are dirt cheap now and you can get bigger as well.

link? I don't see them on amazon.Yeah, I've got a couple of smaller ones too mostly for my Kindle if I'm out and about so I can keep reading. But one of these might be just the ticket to keep at home for power outages. Wow. They've got 32000 mah ones.![]()
3 star reviews so I will stick with jackery. anker is another brand I saw recommended in the past.I've been thinking of buying one. Look at this one 20K For $16. https://www.amazon.com/Portable-Ext...TF8&qid=1471918238&sr=1-8&keywords=Power+bank
But do you know if there are some brands safer than others? You know, like it is recommended we buy AW batts for the mods, is there a brand thats better?
Thanks Fozzy3 star reviews so I will stick with jackery. anker is another brand I saw recommended in the past.
On the pico's....is it the camera or are those lighter shades of blue and pink on the covers? If they are the lighter colored ones, where did you find them?I don't think I will ever finish organizing and listing stuff. Finally got my daily rotation ones all cleaned and others put away. Need to put away at least 2 more of these but which ones...decisions, decisions. Excuse the mess on the table still and probably forever, at this rate.

Yes, the Pico's all have sleeves...blue, pink and green. The dt on the pink Pico is a Bull Box Mod tip before he went belly up. They are my favorite drip tips and I do have too many of them. I think Brett ticked off so many folks that when I tried to sell a few, no bites so I just kept them.On the pico's....is it the camera or are those lighter shades of blue and pink on the covers?

And the drip tip on the pink colored pico......me likes. LOL
