I must be weird. I only have ONE Mod.

[BernieVideo]

Yeah. Just the one. A used Provari Mini. Very happy with it.
I PIFed my Twists to a friend who wants to quit stinkies.

So here I am, vaping away when, suddenly, it occurred to me. "What if it breaks and I need to send it in for repair?"

Now, I am kinda uncomfortable. I am 70 days off analogs. I can't afford not to have some kind of backup!!!!!!

Arrrrrrgh.

Now what do I do? I can't afford another Provari at the moment.
Do I buy a cheapo PV just in case? It would be dumb to get a Twist again. I have extra batteries. 18350s, and 18490s.

Hmmmm.

 

[CommaHolly]

ACKKKKKKKKKKKKK BACK UPS FOR THE BACK UPS, HONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and that includes juice, delivery systems, cartos, tanks, etc,,,,,,,,AND CHARGERS!

I'd get a couple cheap egos or something for back up

 

[chadsmo]

Yeah, I don't even leave the house for an hour with just one mod. I even have a small emergency box in my glove box with wick and wire and a small screw driver set incase one coil goes bad somehow, then the second somehow goes bad lol. I generally have 2 mods with rebuildables on top, and an EGO + EVOD just incase when I leave the house.

 

[BernieVideo]

Well, I do carry spare charged batteries, a portable charger and 10 filled carto tanks with me wherever I go.

But do I buy a Vamo or something like that? Just in case?

 

[CommaHolly]

hm,,,,,,,,,you have batteries, already,,,,,

have you checked out Fasttech to see what they have for mechs or mods that might use the same batteries?? YOu might find something cheap. (DO NOT buy any loose batteries from FT unless you want it to take 2 months to get to you)

yes.

or maybe an MVP,,,,,,,,depending on how much you want to spend,,,,,,,

Being new to vaping, I'm in the same boat. One mod: An Innokin SVD. (I love it, BTW) But for me, one mod works, because I don't find the look of the SVD to be publicly "friendly". I simply don't want to have to explain it, and therefore, I only use it at home.

I have developed a nice collection of other devices to use on the go or at work in it's place.

At work, I'm quite happy with my T2 on a standard ego battery. I've attached a pen light pocket clip to the tank to keep it in my shirt pocket and out of harms way.

For on the go or in the car, I purchased an X6 VV battery and am currently using a Vision V-Fate tank on it. Looks killer, vapes great.

More mods will come soon enough I'm sure. I would be interested in a Zmax mini for on the go.

......and my wife just took a job as the store manager for a local vape shop.

 

[Pinggolfer]

I relate one mod to leaving the house without a lighter. Danger, Danger!!!!! Always good to have a spare. A Twist would get you through your Provari withdrawal if you had to send it back.

 

[crxess]

LOL - I have 20+ backups from Ego 350's to VV's and extra Mech Mods

Still not comfortable I'm covered.

 

[Ref Minor]

MVP2 or a Vamo.

 

[OlDogNewTricks]

<shudders> No backup for the backups? Unthinkable! Got two APVs, a mech and two twists and still feel in peril. Or is is just that I want to buy shiny things? Hummm... <walks away muttering>

 

[bones1274]

I have only had one mod for the last 3 years, a Reo Grand. I have 5 backup grands sitting on my dresser so that the one I use isn't lonely.

 

[Bempathetic]

I've also been thinking about this recently. I only have my Provari mini and a tiny 808 battery (the first one I ever bought actually). I don't have any 808 cartos left to use on it if something goes wrong with the Provari. I do not have the money for another Provari either. I've been considering getting the MVP as a backup.

 

[OzarkTroutBum]

Hey mon!

What you mean you got only ONE mod?

You lazy, lazy bum.....

 

[el Jexican]

I have two mechs and a Zmax mini as back ups....And my "if .... hits the fan" set up is my trust Innoken iTaste VV 3.0 with a BCC. I never leave the house for a extended period of time without one back up mod and a back up heating device.

 

[degnr8]

While the provari is a good, dependable vape from everything I've read, I would never want to be without a backup no matter what my primary device was. Besides breakage, what happens if somebody steals it or you forget it on your way out the door? I would get some kind of a back up, be it a vamo, some egos ore even a cigalike kit or box of disposables. Last time I was on whitecloud they had fling minis for a buck a piece. Fasttech has $5 cigalike kits with PCC. Just something to get you by until you can get your provari again. It was only a week ago that I wound up being down to the disposable I got as a free sample from Njoy. My Vmod cracked and is en route for a warranty replacement, so I broke out my egos. None of the batteries had a charge so I had to go with the disposable (total crap BTW) until one of the egos charged. Now if I can only get to my garage I can make sure this situation never happens again. There is just something wrong with running an RBA @ 1ohm on an ego c

Check out some of the clones for backups! I'm a believer and am in love with the HCigar King clone I received this afternoon!! Don't be caught off guard! Congrats on the 70 days!!

 

[GetVaked]

Altsmoke BB. Going to last a very long time.

Joye 650 eGos, Joye 510s with PCC, 'just in case'.

 

[Zealous]

well fwiw I don't think it would be dumb to get a twist again....unless you didn't like it for some reason. Personally I think it's quite sensible to have more than one device & have more than one KIND of device, and also apply the same idea to toppers. I have some 510 batteries that I still use. I also have an eroll that I sometimes use (it's been annoying me lately). I have twists & plan on getting a mod of some sort soon as well as a provari which is on my Christmas list. But to have a variety means that when you're having a bad day vaping something you have is likely to still work. How annoyed would you be if for some reason your battery charger crapped out on you & you had no batteries for any device & you had no other type batteries? It's nice to have choice.
