IMO still not reliably. I am just saying that I would not want to rely on it for something as important as keeping away from analogs. I would have much more peace of mind having extra batteries. Cost is a factor as well and any decent portable power pack is pretty pricey.

" BioLite CampStove Item Id: B001 Your Price: $129.00
Availability: New Orders ship in July."
Great Idea! Not available until July though and may have some bugs (camping, get it) to work out. Keep in mind; my 1100mah pass-through usually takes 2 hours to completely charge, so it would have to be tended (fire) for at least that long and also for cell phone charging. Could become a pleasant evening activity though. (Don't forget the S'Mores fixins')
There are solar cell phone chargers available as well. I have charged my eGo from a solar panel at home (wired in a 12 volt outlet), also used car "booster pack" with USB outlet.
More ideas to come, I'm sure.
Relax, Enjoy!
Of course, with anything as important as vaping bringing backups is certainly a good idea.
Someone needs to make a combo hand generator / PV for vaping emergencies.

Do they still make the 12 volt generators that fit against bicycle wheels? Or am I too old, thinking of these!
lol yeah I remember those. With batteries and LED technology no one bothers though.
Something like this comes to mind..

Plug your passthru into that, vape forever and get a workout while you are doing it.

Well Fisher, I can lend you my lavatube with three fresh batteries for when you go camping. If you are coming my way on the way to camping.
Both of these would work, but,
"The Pocket Socket charges your mobile device at the same rate it would charge in a standard 120v household electrical outlet."
That would mean 2 hours of cranking for me, I'm not sure how long the other chargers usually take to charge.
I use a XTG small solar charger I got off Amazon. Fairly inexpensive, very light, about the size of an ipod, and does a great job for me!
You are such a great guy!! What an awesome offer, my friend, and I thank you very much for it. Would be terrified of doing some sort of irreparable damage to it, tho.
Have a couple of options running thru my head at the moment. If the cig lighter works on the old truck beast, that solves things right there. If not ... I have something I am thinking about as an alternative vaping beast that I may purchase. Decision time looming. LOL.
If you can catch them onsale at Canadian Tire, one those 400w inverters is a good investment ... comes with lighter socket and battery clamp cords (when parked of course). I got so tired of buying car adapters for all our families gear ... now I just run a multiplug extension cord from the front to the back of the van and the kids just plug their stuff in with the AC adapters that come with the devices.

Lol, I am not to worried about it, offer still stands if you change your mind
I you're a backpacker/adventurer etc. these portable solar chargers are probably a good option ... if you are a drive somewhere and setup type of camper you've got this huge capacity battery right there in your vehicle ... you might as well use it since you brought it. A solar trickle charger for the car battery is another option to keep it topped up.
Awesome ideas! I was just starting to ponder this subject the other day! I will pick up a solar charger as back up for those long hauls, otherwise the van will work for a while I guess. Definitely not going to hand crank for two hours a day lol
I am a BIG camper too! This will be my first year out with a PV too. I have an ego-c, and an LT on the way!
I picked up a couple stardusts for my ego batts - to minimize leaks, and add some much needed juice capacity! Luckily I do have power at my seasonal campsite, but I do have a "powerpack" that has a 12v port so will probably try that out to charge.

Had the same problem when fishing season opened up so i picked up a smoov and pcc from switcher ( jr custom turnings ) and it saved me for the first trip out to the camp with 3 smokers didn't have a puff, lasted 3 days of vaping, just my 2cents
Dose anyone have experience with the solar pcc? I know innovations in solar technology have come a long way in the past couple years but that seems like a pretty small solar panel.
