Hitting the road for the summer.. What to bring with me?

[Hiding]

Ok. So taking the summer off. Traveling the country. Mostly camping. I figure the trip will last 6-8 weeks.

Equipment wise, I think I'm good to go. But wouldn't some mind any suggestions there as well. On the juice end of things, I could use ideas.

Equipment coming with:
K100 - Mech
Vamo
3x 18350
3x 18650
Car/Wall charger
2x AGA-t2 - With wire and wick for rebuilds - tools, etc.
10x prepunched cartos - with a tank.
4x extra drip tips

Like I mentioned the juice end of things is what concerns me more.. I can mix up as much as I need but how well will it keep in an extended camping environment?
I can give up some space in the cooler to keep it. Will that help?
Would I be better off looking for B&M shops as I go?

The only thing i would add, and this is just me. Would be a evod or cheap carto tank to go on those for when you dont want/have the time to fiddle with the carto's/aga's! Fill it up and vape!

Well, e-juice is supposed to last up to 2 years, so I'd say if you want to carry the full amount you expect to use in 6 - 8 weeks just keep it in a cool, dark place. Cooler would be good, but I don't think it's necessary for just a short period of time.

So, I don't think you have much to worry about.

Ah, ya. Knew I'd leave something off the list. =)

I have 3x Kanger t3's/mt3's with a handful of replacement coils for them. Plus wick and wire to rebuild those as well.

Hey. That's a neat little chart. Glad to see someone experimenting with shelf life.

How about a map of all the vaping stores you can visit?

Went months with a mech and clearo. Wick wire and a screwdriver.

I've thought about this.
But I see my self spending too much money if I stop at all the stores. I'll have the phone with me, so if I get the urge I can always hunt some out along the way.

Oh how I envy you!! Traveling and camping.. seeing the country.. how wonderful! Tent or camper? Last year.. my son and I took a week long camping trip in the NC mountains with a tent. I carried an extension cord and charged my batts in the tent. I used carto tanks at the time. Great memories. When I first started with mesh RBAs I couldn't imagine taking them away from my desk but now I would be comfortable building coils on a picnic table LOL. Good luck to you and hope you have a great time!

I picked up a cheap USB solar charger on amazon for 20 bucks that charges my ego batts real well.

It will charge anything USB I plug my ego charger into the solar one

Thanks. I'm getting anxious to leave. 2 weeks to go.
Tent camping for me. Just grabbed some seam sealer today, time to get it all ready for a lot of use. Should be a good day for me here tomorrow to get it on and let it get all sealed up.
Next project after that will be trying to fit everything into the car.

Mmm. I like that idea. Might have to see if I can find something.

When I travel long distances by car, a passthru is a must.

I bought it because I live in hurricane country and multi day power outages are a real thing. Works for our cell phones, my kindle and the hubbys iPad too.

I second this . You don't even have to keep your juice cool for 2 months use. Mix up all you'll need and enjoy!

Keeping it room temp I wouldn't worry about it. Here at home I keep juice for, well as long as I have been vaping. I still have some of the original juice I purchased.
Keeping it in a car or tent, it's going to get pretty hot during the day time hours. At least in some of the locations I plan to visit. And that's where my concern lies.

 

[Ryedan]

I hear ya Hiding and it's a valid concern. PG is naturally antimicrobial. My PG, pharmacy bought this year has an expiry date of 2017 on it. My VG expires in one year.

To be sure we would have to try juice at elevated temps. I have left it in the car for a day in the summer and it's been fine, but never prolonged time at elevated temps. The cooler is probably the safest bet.
