How long will these supplies last me?

[annah]

My stuff, including my recent orders that haven't arrived yet:

5 batteries,
10 attys,
746ml of juice (250ml of my favorite juice, and diy unflavored juice that will make 496ml, plus the necessary flavorings and PG necessary to dilute it)
a PCC
2 carrying cases
3 battery chargers (main, plus 2 spares, just in case)

I'm using about 3mls of liquid a day, so if my fingers didn't go wonky on the calculator, I should have 35 weeks of liquid. Can anyone give me a general guess as to how long the batteries/atty's should last? I have an eGo.

I'd like to make sure I'm prepared for a multi-day power outage, or shipping difficulties if my next order gets stuck in customs, etc.

What would you buy next? I was thinking more batteries/attys, and try to hold out for more liquid until I can find another good sale.

I just realized that kindof sounds stupid. But multi-day power outages aren't exactly uncommon here. Our last good one was 4 days when we got hit by a hurricaine at the end of August. I also have a USB car adapter, so I can charge batteries in my car if things get desperate. LOL

annah, That sound like your set, but what kinds of batteries do you have? How long they will last on a charge depends on the type. Also don't forget about your car, You can charge from your ciggarett lighter too. A much better purpose for it than the old.

Really IMHO, I wouldnt buy anything else just yet. Make sure you really like your gear. You may decide you want to try other stuff too later on down the road.

PS Not at all stupid, back ups are extremely important! I have about 5000 mls of DIY nic, 22 boxes of cartomizers 2 tanks 5 mods and several sets of batteries for each mod. I'm preparing for the zombie apocalypse

It's not common, but some people say that certain juices taste lousy when they are old. Others say that weeks to months after a particularly bad juice was stored, it tastes better. Hopefully, you have juices that improve with time. Some here refrigerate juice to stabilize it. You might want to do a search for refrigerator and see what you find.

I like to keep 100ml around in various juices. I'm good for a month or so if I include the various so-so juices in my storage box.

You're set for a while. When and if you get down to 2 - 3 attys and batteries get some more, always good to have spares there as they can poof out any time, it's uncommon without some kind of warning but it happens.

I use up to 3ml a day of juice also, your set for a while on that. I always keep at least a month supply of juice on hand so I can let my newer juices steep before use, when you get down around 90-100ml place another order.

If your that worried about power outages get a car charger or maybe a APC battery backup....which I use for my computer also. I have both and don't give it a second thought, multiple batteries are enough for the majority of power outages unless they are really lengthy.

2 of my batteries are the 650, and the other 3 are 950 (? 900? 950 i think). I rotate the 2 small ones throughout the day, and they last a full 24 hours. Possibly more, since I recharge them before they are dead.

I'm not really worried about the juice going bad. I still have some old that I just finished off. It was 3 months past expiration, so 2+ years old. Apparently the mint holds up really well. It was still a nice color, smelled good, and tasted good. I couldn't tell the difference from the fresh. LOL. I had to try it, since it looked the same. It was just hanging out in a box on top of my fridge, so unrefrigerated, but in a dark location.

I actually still have a homemade box mod that I could pull out if I had to. I just haven't bought new batteries yet- the husband swiped the ones I had for the Wii remotes. Of course if there's a power outage, he won't be playing wii, so I can take my batteries back. LOL

I'm thinking Zombie Apocolypse too. Especially since the world is supposed to end next year and all. The "experts" say that even if the world doesn't end, we're supposed to have extreme power outages, and mass starvation from food loss. Hey, I'll be starving while my kids eat, but I'll at least be vaping still.

dum dum dum 2012 better be safe than sorry. I'm assuming their eGo or Rivas...they should last you a good 5-6 months I'd think. Good choice

 

[Iffy]

Looks like you're in good vaping shape. My eGo batts (650, 900, 1000) are still going strong after over seven months and using 1.6Ω eMDCCs.

Just hope that you don't get tired of your flavs...

I have 4 eGo and Riva batteries. Have been using them over a year and none has gone bad. They're supposed to be good for 300 or so charges each. So no surprise that they still work.

I also have many, many old 510 atomizers and batteries which are now useless since I switched over to eGo. Caused by over-ordering like you seem to be doing ! I'd suggest that you could be throwing money away by ordering so many extras like I did. There is something new coming along all the time. I've cut way back on big stocks of anything except juice.
And, even there, juice seems to be coming down in price.

I see you've also been at this since 2009 also, so maybe you've also been through this !

I did have a leftover atty (almost 2 years of sitting doing nothing) die, but I thought maybe it was going bad anyway. I'll be careful not to stock too many attys.

Thanks guys!

I don't use atty's but I keep at least 15 to 20 cartos at a time. One usually lasts me a week but there is always that rare one that sneaks in the box. I am lucky that I have a local shop so I only keep 2 30ml bottles of my favorite juice and 1 30ml each of the others I like. I'm a tank user w/ a silver bullet or my provari. I only have 2 sets of batteries for each and I keep them charged even though the batteries last me about 2 days per charge.
