Last year I was in Costa Rica for 3 months. I stocked up on my vaping supplies to last me until I got back but I ran out the last week I was there. I had to smoke. No regrets. I didn't enjoy it. Every time I smoked all I could think about was getting home so I could have a nice clean tasting vape. Also, the smokes there were very low quality. It wasn't unusual to find tiny COPYRIGHTDMCA in your smokes.

I have 5 - 78mm batteries and a 650 and a 900. I ordered another 900 in a bright color since I am going camping for two plus weeks and thought red would be really findable in the tent. The next day, my silver 900 died and one of my 78's did too. I panicked and placed another order for a bright yellow 900 and two brightly colored 78's. I threw in more juice on each order.

My plan is to go camping and come back completely smoke free. Crossing my fingers that the equipment doesn't all fail me miserably:)

I've cut way back on smoking but now I want to quit altogether.

Running out of juice or battery power is going to suck.

sorry about the double post.

It's easy to make an emergency juice back up on a budget.

I use 15 mg nic and that's what I do...

If you don't mind unflavored, like I do, then:
1. Nic base, $11.39 - 60mg Nicotine solution - 120ml
2. PG or VG, $9.49 - Propylene Glycol - 500ml, but I need only 360 ml.
2. S/H - $5

For about $25 I am getting 480 ml of 15mg nic, in other words it's a $1.56 per 30 ml with 140 ml of PG/VG left.

not at all. $ is certainly a concern, however, i'd sooner spend the same or even more to be vaping than smoking. i was stupid and thought 35 prefilled cartos would last me longer than they did. and to make matters worse, there was a fraudulent charge on my bank account so they shut my card off so i couldnt order online until i received a new one. that was biggest issue and i accidently left it out of my first post.

Oh Boy! How crummy for you. But ! if it happens to you again, or anyone you know, just an FYI that most drugstores and Walmarts sell disposable blus till you raid a B&M or pay Fedex shipping for the nectar to be in your possession again. It might not be the greatest but maybe it can suffice when all else fails...



This^^ is what to do...

What type of terrain where you are going camping? Are you backpacking or just a camping trip?

Might be an option after tax time, when my brother & sister in laws hopefully move out and take the baby with them. I simply can't have enormous volumes of high grade poison laying around right now.

I think it's doable, but I'd want a good locking container to keep them out. I have pets so I never leave any of my juices or clearos out unattended. When I'm done, they go in a cupboard. I'm looking around for locking boxes right now since I want to be able to shut stuff away more securely when nephews or friends' kids visit. Same reason I have a gun safe even though it's just my husband and I at home.

After all, it doesn't take much nic juice to be toxic or even fatal to a little person or animal. Just the pre-mixed juices you have already would likely do the job. Plus if you have sweet juices, they smell so good. I would imagine slurping some flavoring concentrate would be unpleasant but less dangerous than a pre-mixed nicotine juice.

I am down to about 75 ml of juice and am about to reorder. That should last me a month but you never know what will happen. I have a B&M very close so I don't have to panic if I run out (or even if my 2 Twists die) but I like to plan ahead. My wife and daughter tease me that I am preparing for a zombie apocolypse but I refuse to run out of anything and go back to the stinkies.

I am planning to buy another backup battery (probably a pass through) shortly and I have been looking at mods recently. You basically need to backup your backups and keep PLENTY of juice so you can stay off the stinkies.



What is a B&M?

I am car camping with a tent, no backpacking so I figure I can recharge the batteries with the car charger thingey I bought. We may get a hotel room once or twice. If it is cold I figure I'll put the batteries in my sleeping bag overnight. We are driving about a zillion miles so I can use the passthrough cord in the truck.

Hurray Filter,
You just saved your life!! I love hearing it. Without feeling deprived, you replaced a toxic habit with a Harm Reduction Habit. You are going to feel so much better too as your lungs clear and you find you have more energy. Plus you won't be walking around smelling like Cigarrette (Gag)

"I won't be making that mistake again"
Glad the tough love lesson worked !

Just joking, as an accountant you are probably very organized and with all the input in this thread about redundancy of equipment, I'm sure you'll be carrying backups for everything.

Remember if the stars ever go seriously out of alignment and you ever do run out again. Snus, Snuff, even Chewing Tobacco are all alternatives that will hold you off until you get your equipment in.

They say that lungs will heal themselves, so it's vital that you never smoke again and allow your lungs to heal.




i got my juice yesterday afternoon and instantly went from 15 cigs a day to 0 cigs a day with no effort at all. i think i smoked 3 packs in the 4 days i went without juice. now all is well. dont have any desire to smoke. wont be making that mistake again.
