You've showered, you get in bed, you have a drink, you have your PV, you have your laptop, the dog is curled up close to you and you're all comfy and the damn light starts flashing that your battery is going out? It's happened one too many times for me so I guess I'm going to have to tart taking batteries to bed with me. Ever have this, or anything close, happen to you???

OMG all too often! Because I hate it even MORE when the flashing is during my first pull in the morning..
I'd started carrying an extra batt upstairs along with a tiny 5cc juice, just in case I suddenly needed to drip
or what have you.
One night it occurred to me! Instead of carrying the battery, the liquid, some nights an extra flavor up stairs,
why dont I stop off, take the Batt out of the proV, at the charger, replacing it with a fresh one as a matter of routine?
My charger will stop when the batt's done, so its not like putting it in is going to completely ruin the batt! Sure I know its "better"
to discharge more before the recharge, but...
All the best!

that's with eGo batts with no display.

with an apv with a display like my vamo, i can check with 1 button press anytime the charge state of my battery, so if I'm going somewhere or settling down to watch tv or something I can decide whether I better put in a fresh batt or not instead of waiting for the LowV condition.

I know the feeling. I had to go across town, packed a couple of innokin vv3 (around the town vapor) and didn't bother to look at the battery level. Well, I got stuck in traffic and both had very low batteries, no vaping on the way home in rush hour. Road rage! or should it really be called vape rage!

Get some use out of that cigarette lighter that cars come with.

Oh yes, everyone should have one of these in their car! We vape on a passthru using this and the cig lighter when we are traveling to save wear and tear on the batteries. We have one with a double USB slot so we can both vape at the same time.

They're usually my go-to-town vape too, and have blinked out on me too many times! I now carry a recharger cable in the car console and just plug the vv3 in when I go to town!

I don't get caught with batteries too often. I leave the house with 3 egos (two are pass throughs), and keep extra charged 18350 batteries (I have 3 pairs; one in the charger, one in the vamo and a pair in the nightstand).

What I hate, is when I am on the last tank of a fave juice, away from home no less... And the tank decides to leak.

Actually it's not better to discharge more; batteries last longest when they don't discharge too much.

And leaving it in the charger while you're sleeping?????? Risky! What if it overcharges, does a "runaway," and blows up while you're asleep? I used to charge mine at night too, but a lot of very smart people here explained to me that that's a really bad idea, unless you just really want to burn down your house.

Doesn't happen for me! I have a MVP 2 and can vape while it's being charged!!! Good thing I have a wall outlet beside my bed!
