In my coat pocket, I have five batteries and a PCC on me at all times, and another two (with a spare charger) at my office. The chances that I would have to resort to analogs are very slim. 
AHHHHHHHH !!!
True story...
The other day, I got out of the shower and looked in the mirror and looked just like this!
I got so excited and said...
"I AM HIM...I AM THAT MAN....I AM AN ANCIENT ANLIEN"
lol
*you would have had to be there to appreciate the moment*
Now, to answer the OPs question, if I were a new exsmoker, I would go get a disposable, but I've been off the cigs for almost a year and I can now say that I would just wait til I got home...
If, for some bizarre reason, I found myself with only ONE device and ONE atomizer (never happen) then I'd go with the disposable. I hope they have 0 nic ones? Not that I vape 0 nic, but I do vape low nic, and know the higher stuff makes me way anxious and sick. But anyway...I'd go disposable first.
If that wasn't an option, I guess I'd try a cigarette. But figure I'd probably throw up like a kid having his/her first cig behind the backyard shed.
I would NOT be able to wait until I got home. Although conceivably I could find enough pencils, pens, styluses, and whatnot to chew to help me hang on. Or not. If there was a vending machine full of snacks and I had plenty of money that might be a solution. But then ...I'm looking at hurling again.
But it won't (or shouldn't) happen because I'm totally OCD about my vaping stuff. I carry backups and backups for my backups. I even carry a Fost Power pack and extra USB chargers dongles. Always have at least 15ml. juice handy. I've been known to even carry a wall wort (2amps thank you) in the event I find myself landed in a hospital or something.

I would try to go without. That is unless it was going to be an entire day or longer. I still smoke a cigarette here and there occasionally, but I'm quickly reminded how awful they taste, and it's not at all pleasurable.
I know some of you switched to vaping and quit the cigarettes on the first day, and never looked back, but if you were to smoke a cigarette, it would be nothing like you remember. Imagine licking the bottom of a dirty ash tray. That's what it tastes like.

In a pinch I have used a metro disposable auto battery to vape a vivi nova...the threads dont match so you have to kinda hold em together, but it works.
After doing this a couple times I bought a lil mini from wal-mart ( called fin) it lives in my purse. Oddly enough haven't left home with a near dead batt since.
doubtful situation as I carry a loaded purse but either A or C depending on the length of time involved.
I was on my way to Vegas on Saturday morning, and about halfway there I decided to have a vape.
I took two vapes and my atomizer blew out, and since my atomizers usually last about 3 months, I am not in the habit of bringing a spare.
Well, I might have considered not vaping for the remainder of the trip, but since there would be a lot of drinking, that was NOT an option.
So when I got to Vegas two hours later I went out and bought a couple of disposables.
They both sucked, but they were good enough to get me through.
If I could not find any disposables, I would have bought some smokes.

Well, it has happened to me. I was on a cruise & we had an all day beach excursion on Antigua. I took 2 PV's with me. Both eGo style. Both full of juice & batteries were fully charged. I Lost one & the carto died on the other! I still had 5 hours until the cab came to get us (and an hour ride back to the ship.) I had only been vaping a couple of months. Well, I made it back to the ship, but once I got my backup-backup PV, I chainvaped for quite a while! But, I did not pick up an analog & there ain't no disposibles at the beach in Antigua.
After that, I brought extra - extra battery & an extra - extra carto filled with juice with me when leaving the ship.

Loved the storys thanks everyone.
What dawned on me was there is a turning point and its early on in vaping, that the mind totally switches to the PV over an analog.
Most of you would eather buy a disposable or not do anything depending on the situation. Only a few would you use an analog and I have a feeling that would be last resort.
So the PV in my little experiment, overroad and won over the analog in most peoples first reactions. Now I wonder if you were to have a patch or lozenges there would be the same first reaction to by more patches or whatever or just by a pack of analogs. I know when I used them I still craved an analog if I ran out and the analog would be the first thing Id think of to buy over getting more lozenges.
Im so happy to say my first reaction was to buy a disposible, and I stood there looking at the displays of analogs and never once did it come to mind to buy one of them, and I was really in full panic for a disposible. But I shared my SO PV and got me threw the night. But I did sit an look at my poor PV alot during the drive home.

There is no substitute for a hearty vape, certainly not an analog.
I would prolly rather vape some juice on tinfoil than smoke.
That's just me tho...

I'd try to wing it, first. I've already found myself near the end of a day without anything to vape and I made it daydreaming of how good it will be to get home again. I've also found myself going "Ah, to heck with it" and having an analog from a friend which I didn't (not couldn't, DIDN'T) finish. This may sound crazy to people coming straight off analogs to e-cigs, but I really, truly like e-cigs more. It tastes better and I can take arbitrarily-large drags.
I think the ability to vape relatively constantly throughout the day has taken the edge off the nicotine urges. Rather than my nicotine level spiking 20 times a day when I have a cigarette I'm getting a supply of nicotine this way.
So yeah, I'd try to get a disposable if waiting it out wasn't working. I'd even spring $25 on a generic 510 starter kit if they only had those. Barring that, yeah, I'd get analogs. But I wouldn't like it and I don't think I'd even keep the pack once I got home.

If only e-cigs had a "survivorman" method to enjoy the juice. A man lost in the woods could smoke tobacco. Heck, it was soldiers at war rolling bits of tobacco in newspaper in emulation of the enemy that got western Europe smoking cigarettes to begin with!
I'm not (NOT) going to try, but I wonder if you could swallow a drop of e-juice every couple hours...
When I was trying to quit with the patch, all I could think about was cigarettes. The patch did nothing for me.
Just last week I took my car in for an oil change. I had 2 eGo's with me. Both of them died on me. I honestly thought that I had enough of a charge on them. At least one of them! The oil change took longer than I anticipated
All I could think about was getting home and getting one of my other twists all the while wishing I had my Provari back from being fixed after I screwed it up. I only had to wait about half an hour after they died before my car was ready. I just kept sucking on the drip tip.
The funny thing was, there was a smoker standing not too far from me and I kept holding my breath when the smoke drifted my way.- Status
