Had to go back to analogs (temporarily)

[d.dutton9512]

Well last night I had both batteries on my 401 stop working. I can get one to light up for a moment but it's not long enough to get any vapor.

So I picked up some analogs and man these things are nasty! You forget just how awful they were!

Oh well, just a few more days before my new EGO comes in

I'd think i'd be stripping wire and getting the sticky tape out lol. Surely there must be something on the modders forum,they can build a tank from a bottle top ;-)

That really sucks, i always make sure i have at least five batteries, i can't even stand the smell of the analogs anymore.

I think I would have tried to McGruber something with a paper clip and two AA's.

I can't even imagine my stuff dying like that, and I hope it doesn't happen. I just can't go back. My wife and I both have spare batts on the way (we split an eGo kit to start off with) so we can just swap as needed, but I think down the road I'm going to order a third, just to keep as a backup. I don't ever want to be without.

I read that some tobacco and 'smoke' shops sell e-cigs. True or not? I will drive 100 miles to get parts when/if I need to. Always good to know where your nearest hospital is!

Better solution to hardware failure:

How to build The Puck

20 bucks, more vapor, AAA batteries

.....easy to build

Don't beat yourself up. Stuff happens.

been there done that. However luck enough to live somewhere there is a reseller, who even agreed to meet me on a SUNDAY!!!!

It is a quick lesson to learn to carry more than one battery. I got to work on my third day analog free and the only battery I had taken to work lit up and wouldn't vape. Went across the street and got a pack, but there is now half a pack in the drawer and haven't thought about them since then.

Go prepared but don't beat yourself up either.

There's two vendors that sell accessories in Cumming. Check here. May not be exactly what you need or the cheapest, but worth a shot. Beats waiting if they are not gone for the holiday weekend.

I just ordered another Ego kit. That way I've got extras. 4 batts, attys, cones, and 2 chargers in case one goes South. At the rate I was smoking tho, I could order a new Ego kit every month and still come out ahead money wise. One kit is about the price of a carton of analogs here in Tx. Meanwhile, before you go back to analogs, see if you can find some disposable e-cigs at a 7-11 type store. Just a thought.

I almost had to do the same thing last weekend. I lost my last two atomizers though not batteries. I got lucky though and threw this forum i found a supplier 8 miles from my house. Might want to check the social groups in your area. Thats where i found the info

Not sure if works good enough but some say 7-11 type stores ( or truck stop) carry disposible types.

I haven't heard anything good about those, but i guess if you're desperate, anything beats a pack of Cancer Leaf menthol 100's.

At least one of the more upscale tobacconists in my area carries a small selection of supplies. Might do some good to call around and see what your local smoke shop may know. Also check if any local flea markets/swap meets have a booth that sells 'em.

I think you will love the ego, I know I love mine.

There's one near my house that sells an NJoy kit for like $79. Hope I don't get to that point, lol.
