Forgot your gear at home. Did you panic?

[Steam Turbine]

Probably happened to a lot of us:

Wake up in the morning, leave the house for work and... Catastrophe! You forgot your juice or pv or both!

Did you panic? Did you ask your friends and collegues for a cigarette? Did you leave work earlier to go and grab your stuff? Or did you just simply went about your buisiness came back home, no problem, had a beer and vaped?

I found myself not having so much problem, didn't smoke, didn't panic. Did I miss my Provari? Yup but not that much.

Ive grabbed the wrong bats before grabbed 18350 for the buzzpro that uses 16340s Im with you if I cant vape its not as big a delima as not being able to smoke.

Thats what I like about vaping now. The other day I just went out with one battery and it went dead on me. I was far from home so there was no going back to the house. I didn't have one problem the whole day. True though I made up for it when I got home but I really didn't have any cravings that day. I still like to vape though. But if worse comes to worse at least I know that it won't be a problem if I can't anymore.

'I am fanatic about taking stuff with me I need, but at work, I could score what I needed from another vaper. There are also vape stores starting to spring up in my area - good ones with advanced gear and good juice. If I absolutely had to, I would go buy an NJoy disposable. 8 months of vaping is too long to go back to smoking now.

I usually am vaping on my way out the door, and make sure to throw my kit into my tool bag or backpack the night before. I have meds that I have to take every day, and with my random work schedule, got used to carrying some of each of my meds on me at all times, carrying my PV and juice has turned into the same kinda deal. And I have forgotten a few times, but its always by the time i get to the end of my block, at which point i just turn around and go home to grab it.

EDIT: I usually carry 4x 18350s (one in my mod and 3 in my case), my mod, a tank on my mod, 2 spare tanks with different juice in them, and a small (15ml) bottle of juice in my kit at all times.

i dunno, along with my keys and wallet my pv and gear is on the must have check list before i close the door.
ill forget my coffee and lunch before forgetting my gear.
now grabbing the wrong bottle of .... flavored turpentine swag juice is another story lol

Around Christmas time I miss judged how much battery life was left on a 900 mah eGo. It went dead. Seeing that I was in the company of a chain smoker.....I decided to have a smoke. Couldn't even smoke half of it. Just grossed me out. Now I am diligent Make sure everything I need is with me.

Yeah I've done this...

I recently went to visit my parents and I had all my stuff packed away in a little vaping goody bag... But I left my charger on the counter. EEEEKKK! So a day later all my batteries drained, I was driving around the city looking in tobacco shops to see if they had anything... Nope. Just those ridiculous pos disposables that give real ecigs a bad name. But still I guess its better than smoking so I picked one up. That was the most difficult $10 I've ever parted with.

Thank God for google. I found a guy in the next town over who was getting ready to open a B&M. Cha-ching! So I sent him this desperate email pleading for him to sell me a charger. And he was so cool... set up an appt for me to come to his house where he had his little vaping bar set up.. it was awesome! I felt like I was in a wine bar sitting there sampling, discussing etc. I hope he doesn't lose the homey vibe when he opens his storefront.

I was really grateful for his help.. so I walked out with a charger, some evods, some dripping attys, and a bunch of juice too... Which is really good btw! Chris@ ecigcafe in Kenosha, WI makes excellent juice! My favorite is the 007 which is a like... If a good ry4 and a turtle sundae had babies... This would be the outcome. It's GOOD.

Anyhow... So to answer the question. Yes I panicked.. but the solution to my problem let me to have this really great vaping experience. So maybe ill try to forget my stuff more often. Jk.

Last night I accidentally took a dead battery with me to dinner - just went without it for a few hours, not a big deal. If I'm going to be gone all day, I make sure to have several batteries in my purse. LOL

been there done that, same thing, got halfway through and said nope.

Good thread, it reminds me that I need to get a spare charger wire for my eGo to keep in the truck. Like I have for my cell phone. I have a lanyard for one eGo that I put on during my "Leave the house routine".

One day last week I forgot to change the battery in my Provari before heading off to work. I'd stopped carrying a backup because I never needed it so about half way through my day the light starts blinking! I remember thinking...CRAP!! I took the battery out & waited to vape until my breaks & took it back out when I finished. It died on my last break so no vaping on the way home. Didn't panic though! I was surprised & kinda proud of myself at the same time! But I do take my spare battery with me again!

 

[JColt]

Id forget my car before my vape!

 

[Thunderball]

Was a new newbie.... quit for three weeks...sooo proud.......was two hours away from mthe house and my ego died. No back up. I had emergency smokes in the truck but didnt touch them. I did pick one up and smelled the tobacco. But I made it home and vaped and vaped.

The end. Wont do that again. I ordered an MVP the next day. Its stays in my truck just for that reason. If I go to the lake or camping or anything like that, it goes with me for the ultimate back up 2 day vaping machine.

 

[BennyBlanco]

I would just buy an NJOY king, theyre pretty badass to be honest

 

[chellemakepeace]

I only had one battery when I first started vaping and I too had an experience where my battery died away from home. I picked up a disposable. Now I have several back ups! I just can't go back to ciggs.

 

[Bosco]

I went out to a customer site for a week and forgot my charger. I totally panicked when I realized. I found the nearest vape shop, 40 minutes away, and went there at lunch and got a replacement. Yes . .it looked totally bad to disapear for a 2 hour lunch on the first day of a week long visit . .but you gotta do what you gotta do.

 

[degnr8]

I don't think I've ever forgotten to take my PV anywhere with me, but have been stuck when a batt died or my atty died. In the beginning I would freak and usually wind up smoking. Now I just shrug it off and vape like a mad man when I get the chance. Need to get more backups and a PT for the car though

 

[JColt]

I forgot. Took 2.5 drive in brothers car and didn't use. 2.5 trip back either. I did just fine. I have been analog free for 3 months. No way I could have done that when still smoking.

I've been vaping for almost 8 months now. I've found that i can go long periods of time without even a hint of a craving.

I remember back when i was smoking cigarettes i would be climbing the walls after an hour and a half. The vape seems to be much less addictive. If I'm busy atwork or doing something in my garage I'll regularly go hours without even thinking about it.

This is a fairly recent development however. During my first 6 months of vaping, i felt like i needed it almost constantly. I've also been slowly stepping my nicotine level down. Started at 18mg, and I'm currently at 14mg. Seems to make a huge difference.
